Several people saw four men push 14-year-old Dafarus Coleman and take his jacket aboard a Metro bus in King County, Washington. But when some of them called 911 to report a crime in progress, dispatchers refused to send a deputy. "You cannot report a theft that did not occur to you. The person who the items were stolen from has to report this," a dispatcher told one caller.
