Nuevo Laredo Police Fired
Neuvo Laredo's mayor is going to fire 150 (out of 724) of the city's police officers because of the recent police vs. police shootout and is going to hire a new police chief because their last one was shot to death hours after starting work. Austin News 8 reports:
Nuevo Laredo's 724 police officers were pulled off patrols last week to be investigated for possible links to organized crime after city police opened fire on a convoy of federal agents sent to bolster security in the area.
I think it may be time to send in Mexico's version of the National Gaurd, but there is always the chance that they are even more corrupt than the local police. All the more reason to secure the border so this violence and corruption will have less of a chance to infect Laredo, Texas.

I was watching the TV the other day and it dawned on me what Nuevo Laredo needs: Zorro.
But not the Gay Blade version.
