DALLAS — The Dallas Police Department is looking at another possible breakdown in the city's 911 phone system.A store owner called police just before 11 p.m. Sunday to say he had just been robbed and shots were fired, but it took Dallas police nearly 90 minutes to respond.Four robbers, armed with rifles, walked into Pepe’s Grocery Store in the 4800 block of Bernal Dr. Sunday night. The store owner said they demanded money, so he fired his .38 caliber revolver. Then he called 911.He would only talk to News 8 off-camera, because he said he is afraid of retaliation."I called and told them I was robbed, and that I had shot at them and they at me," he said.Police records show the call came in at 11:00 p.m. as a robbery, but wasn't answered by officers until 12:15 a.m. When officers finally arrived, the store was locked."We waited until 11:20 [p.m.], but no one came -- took too long," the owner said. "So, we went home and I took a shower and got a call about 1 a.m."

Four robbers....one revolver. ...6 bullets....not very good odds...
The store owner needs to upgrade his weapon...
Since the police must have been on a donut run....
When seconds count, the police are only hours away.
If this had happened in a blue state with onerous gun laws we know what the outcome would have been.
Nobody needs more than 10 bullets to kill a deeeeeeeer!
One dead shop owner....
It appears to be a shift change fiasco, 11 pm...
Amen to that brother.
The Government is a sponsor of criminals.
They want to give criminals a safe haven by taking guns away from honest citizens.
Would any anti-gun liberals care to compare the response time of this guy's .38 with the response time of this town's cops? It only takes one question to distinguish liberals from conservatives: "Which is a better option: injured/dead criminals, or injured/dead shop owners?"
Libs don’t want to take responsibility for themselves,
and they are innately ashamed of that.
So, instead of bucking up and showing some character,
they’d rather everyone else was brought down to their level of dependency.
It also has to do with the collective - if you’re capable of defending yourself, you’re not as reliant on the collective, and therefore are weakening it.
Thirdly, if you’re able to defend yourself against criminals,
you’re able to defend yourself against an oppressive state
that is “only out for your own good”.
Who did he really call? Was it the Mexican police?
I am glad he at least had the .38.
Maybe the police were just taking their cue from this Administration - they didn’t bother sending help because it wouldn’t have gotten there in time?
Your post nails leftist “thinking”.
The store owner should have reported that he’d been robbed by a seriously wounded 19-year-old Muslim terrrist. He’d have had 9,000 militarized police there immediately, and had half the city locked down for a few days...
zing!!!! well done :)
