Dispatcher: "OK. County 13 is advising that you can defend your  
property if you need to."

Dispatcher: "I understand."

—An 911 operator explaining to 57-year-old Donna Jackson, of Cushing,  
Oklahoma, that she was within her rights to kill an intruder in her  
home. Which she then promptly did. "Police said they will not charge

Oklahoma's 'stand-your-ground' law."
