Tijuana Cops’ Guns Confiscated, Replaced W/Slingshots
The police department has issued about 60 slingshots to officers in the violent border city of Tijuana, where soldiers confiscated police weapons two weeks ago on allegations of collusion with drug traffickers.
Municipal police spokesman Fernando Bojorquez said Monday that the slingshots, along with bags of ballbearings, were given to officers patrolling areas of the city visited by tourists. Tijuana’s police force of 2,000 officers has been without guns since Jan. 5, but some patrol alongside armed state police.
Awesome. Tijuana is already well known for the safety and security of tourists. Now it’s going to be like Candyland, but instead of candy, there’s robbery, murder, and rape.
Speaking of which, does anyone want to take a trip down there? Sounds like much more fun than going down there just to buy cheap fireworks and chiclets.
if the allegations are true then the cops probably arent helping the situation with or without guns.
Ballberings, seriously come on they could slash prices by using gummie bears. those things hurt like hell when fired from a slingshot. and hey with added money they might be able to upgrade to somthign bigger, like catapults.
