lets also say the burglar has a weapon how fast will the police be able to get to your house before you get hurt? Or will it take the police long to get to your house and find you dead?

That would be the highest priority call, however, the answer depends on how far away the police are when the call comes in.

Depends on where you live, how far away the police are from your house, how many police are on duty at the time, what they are all involved with when the call comes in....
In other words, call the police, but be prepared to defend yourself until they arrive. A big dog, a loud alarm system, and / or a small shotgun would increase your chances of staying alive.

buy yourself a gun. Never depend on the police. Here in my town. the night officer go to bed at 1 am and is just on call the rest of the night

You got it mixed up a bit.
The call to the police comes after you have killed the intruder,why wait for someone else to kill the bad guy when the opportunity is right there in front of you? A call to the cops is just "paperwork" after the fact.

depending on the nearest patrol officer, you may be dead if you do not take any measures to protect yourself. If possible, barricade yourself inside your room to stall for time. Also, having some sort of protection, firearm, mace, attack dog, claymore, etc will help. Be sure you are properly trained with all protective measures before using them, otherwise you may find yourself being killed with your own protection.

Depends on location. Most often a patrolman who is nearest to you is contacted. It can be as little as 3 minutes, or more.
An 11 year old girl, alone in the house, killed two burglers in Montana.
She was a crack shot at 9.

Grab your gun and phone and barricade yourself in your room and then call 911.
Tell the police to identify themselves when they come b/c you're armed.
If the burglar comes in to your room, don't think twice, shoot him dead.

Before the police arrive, you will have to defend yourself.... If the police arrive at all.
Was attacked once, called the police, they never turned up.

Unless you have a 'safe room', the police will clean up the crime scene and notify your next of kin...
Sorry, ED - the story you quote is not true.
