Frank Hamer was one of the greatest Texas lawmen of all time, tracking down Bonnie and Clyde among other accomplishments.
He once got a report that four Texas lawmen had been killed by Mexican smugglers at the border.
He went down there and asked how it had been happening. The lawmen said, “We tell them to surrender, and they shoot us.”
So Hamer said, “I’ll go out with you tonight, and you do exactly what I do.”
So they went to the border, and sure enough some smugglers came across that night. Without a word, Hamer opened fire. The lawmen killed about eight smugglers that night.
No more problems after that.
Great Technique,
Sounds true.
