While I appreciate the spirit of the meme, the “gold” line actually represents 911 operators who are THE first responders. This and fire department I really consider to deserve special recognition when it comes to “thin colored line”
I just really appreciate them and empathize for how shitty their job is (imagine having to talk to a racist and IT IS YOUR JOB to dispatch the police they requested, and that’s a good day where you don’t take a call because someone’s 4 year old found their gun and shot themselves) so anyway wanted to share this little factoid
And yeah a lot of dispatchers suck. High turnover because the job also sucks.
My husband is actually a dispatcher, so I agree that it’s a very under appreciated field! It’s a hard, thankless job, so any appreciation is welcome :)
My husband also got a kick out of this picture because he’s southern and misses Waffle House dearly since we moved to the West Coast.
