Rico says his friend
Tex forwards this story:
Three armed felons crossed the Mexican border into Texas and attempted to rob an off-duty El Paso police officer, who was dressed in civilian clothes, while he stood in front of a bank. The plan was for two of them to grab his backpack and toss it to an accomplice on a stolen motorcycle. However, the well-prepared police officer shot all of them, killing two of them immediately. The third was shot in both arms, and bled to death before the ambulance arrived.
This is how much the taxpayers would have had to pay to prosecute these thugs:
Arrest and detention for one night = $6,000
Transportation for deportation back to Mexico the next day = $1000
Air time for Obama to apologize in thirty minute speech = $25,007,000
What it actually cost: four .40 rounds
Taxpayer savings = $25,006,999
Apparently they picked the wrong man to rob this time and, thanks to him, there won't be a next time.
The average response time for a 911 call is four minutes.
The average response time for a .40 S&W round is about 1200 fps.
I love to read stories with such happy endings...
Rico says he does, too...
