>> brooke: i listened to about 30 minutes so far of those 911 calls from that evening and i can tell you that's just a small dent into the dozens of calls placed that night and earlier that day, some from restaurant goers as meal unfolded and many from business owners watched their businesses be damaged throughout the night.
Now, there was common theme when listening to these dispatched calls.
Whether people were watching from on the street or were they watching from live feed on television.
Many of them asking where is the police, why aren't they stepping in?
You know, one of those calls was actually from folks who were barricaded inside john king bar and grill describing them fearing for their lives and chaos unfolding.
>> we need like cops immediately.
We are stuck up here.
>> already officers on the way to the location.
Stay on the line with me and i will update with what you told me.
>> they have broken in all the windows and i'm squared they are going to come inside.
There's ten of us trying to hide.
>> with so many calls coming in at one time dispatchers really had to focus on prioritizing emergencies taking down addresses and specific situations from those callers.
Now, of course we did circle back to chief luther reynolds immediately following that unrest on may 30th.
He is still backing his department's strategies saying he had limited resources and did the best that they could.
