time to give 'em up boys ... 911 actually WORKS!

... from ... http://abcnews.go.com/US/colorado-woman-teresa-middleton-calls-911-pleading-robber/ ...

Teresa Middleton of Westminster, Colo., and her 17-year-old son hovered in a bedroom closet while the intruder, 23-year-old Benjamin Davis Staffell tore through the family's home.


Image

Vying for more time, Middleton continued to bargain with the intruder, even offering the family television.

After 2 and a half minutes from the time the call was placed, the first officer arrived.

"Get your hands behind your back!" the officer yells on the call.

If they could hover, why wouldn't they just hover on out of there...................

2.5 minutes can be more than enough time for things to go very very wrong.

2.5 minutes is a very long time.

Babies have been created in 2.5 minutes … or so I have heard.
