One Ringy Dingy...

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- "A Jacksonville Sheriff's Officer has been suspended for failing to take "prompt action" to a child abuse call.

First Coast News broke the story last December when police arrested two Navy sailors for aggravated child abuse.

Police arrested Brittane Dominique Stanard, 22, and her boyfriend, 25-year-old Kahlil Mabuyi, December 4 at their Arlington Apartment.

Neighbors heard a little girl being beaten and called 911.

Caller: "The people upstairs are about to kill their daughter! They are beating her and beating her and she is screaming."

Neighbors told First Coast News the beating continued for another 24 minutes.

"At first you could tell it was with a belt," said Raychael Harkey. "Then it went to a hand, then throwing the child around the room."

Neighbors called 911 two more times, begging for help.

Caller: "I need to go up there!"

911 Dispatch: "Ma'am, no, no no. Ma'am, do not. Let the police handle that. You don't need to go up there and get shot or hurt. Ok?"

Caller: "No, but she's gonna die if they keep hurting her like this."

911 Dispatch: "Ma'am, the officers are on the way and in the area. Do not go up there."

The officer close by is Officer Gabriel E. Dobkin.

An internal affairs report shows Officer Dobkin 2.9 miles away writing a speeding ticket.

During the stop, the report indicates Dobkin saw a truck pull into a drug store parking lot with expired tags.

Internal Affairs investigators say Dobkin wrote out the ticket and then sat in the drug store parking lot, waiting for the driver of the truck to leave the store.

At that moment, a priority one call for a "battery in progress" came, the most serious on JSO's scale.

Internal Affairs says Dobkin went inside the store to find the truck driver to see if he had insurance.

Dobkin fingerprinted the driver, and wrote him a ticket before driving away to help a little girl in trouble.

Officer Dobkin told Internal Affairs he has "had many of these type of calls involving children and parents," and he believed this one to be, "routine and not life-threatening," according to the report.

The officer also told investigators, "he didn't remember ever hearing or reading about the victim being five years old," saying it wouldn't have mattered to him because he considered the call routine."

Yeah. Let the police handle it. Sit back and listen to the plaintiff cries of a child, while awaiting the constabulary. This heinous crime took place in Jacksonville, where neighbors could have interceded anytime they so desired, using whatever force was necessary. That's presuming that any one of them could have passed a background check in order to legally arm themselves, but that's another story.

The inhuman beasts who beat the little girl deserve life in prison, and the Fife who took his own sweetass time getting there should arrive soon after as a long term cellmate.

Thanks to The War On Guns.
