Sorry if this duplicates an earlier post. I don't have any idea if I should laugh or cry. This story has got to be some type of B.S.

If they did, don't underestimate the power of a slingshot. I have seen one fire a steel ball the size of a .50 caliber bullet through the door of a car.

I know this is a serious story, but still, the visual of one of the big fellas on the Tijuana municipal force with a slingshot sticking out his back pocket is just funny.

The police department has issued about 60 slingshots to officers in the violent border city of Tijuana

Maybe they should be issued some harsh language as well.

Don't knock slingshots. This guy used it to savethe world from MAD.

Any word if the standard issue model will have laser sights and come with a suitable bandolier?

i think to myself: this is felipe calderon's way of showing these cops what he thinks they are worth and persuading them to resign and find productive employment or at least employers who don't mind competence.

By the way, Calderon is right.
