Default a prepared off duty LEO (received in email)

Three armed felons crossed the U. S . border and attempted to rob an off duty El Paso police officer 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
immediately.

The third was shot in both arms and bled to death before
the ambulance arrived.

This is how much the U. S . Taxpayer would have had to pay to prosecute these thugs:

Arrest and detention for 1 night = -$6,000
Transportation for deportation back to Mexico the next day = -$1000
Air time for Obama to apologize in 30 min speech $25,007,000.00


What it actually cost:
Four .40 rounds = $1.00
Taxpayer savings = $25,006,999.00

They Picked The Wrong Man to Rob - Only in TEXAS !
THE AVERAGE RESPONSE TIME FOR A 911 CALL IS
4 MINUTES .
THE AVERAGE RESPONSE TIME FOR A .40 S &W ROUND IS ABOUT
1225 FEET PER SECOND.

Why would you post a picture which has nothing to do with the story?
