A 20 year old woman was the only one willing to accept police chief job in Northern State of Chihuahua, Mexico. She most likely wont live until next year. She is my hero though. I can only aspire to be as courageous as her.
why make two threads?
one is in off topic one is in serious
yeah... still pointless imo
yeah, i wonder which will get more posts...
She is pretty brave. I must give her that. I feel the fact that she was the only one to step up much say a lot for her. But yea I don't think she will make it long imo.
because the one in the off topic is going to be trolled and derailed it is inevitable. any ways back on topic...
Then why make one there?Quote:

Yeah, I read about that the other day. I was surprised to hear it. I think it is very very sad that a young woman, not even out of college, was the only applicant because everyone else was scared. What makes it so sad is that mature police adults are willing to put this young woman in harms way because of fear. I want to smack every man AND woman over 30 who serves on the police force. Why? Because when they decided to be a police officer they decided to take the risk of the job with it. Not just collect a government check and sit behind the desk.Quote:

Or playing smart so more do not get hurt. Like calling in the military to deal with the problem and keep your hands clean in the eyes of the gang.
A bunch of sad and useless police officers if you ask me. Can't believe no police officer stepped up to the plate and allowed a 20 year old to who is not even a police officer.
Do you think they would accept immigrants there? If they don't mind getting someone who isn't Mexican in their police force, I might go over there once I hit 21 and get my concealed weapons permit and apply for a job. Sounds like steady work.
Steady work for a very short time.
I'd suggest that legalization - with sharp regulation and quality control, plus of course massive taxation and education - may be the best solution here. But that's for another thread.
I'd like to mention that I'm disappointed, people. We've got some excellent minds in here, and (I think) only japanpimp managed to post a serious response.
This is a scary situation, and it's got far too immediate and practical an application to North Americans (and several others!) to be considered a political issue, in my opinion... though of course politicians will try to get as many miles as possible out of it. Still, this is a real issue, and while the politicoes may want it, I say they can't have it. Let's solve it right here.
Well, obviously the police are under equipped and under trained. They don't even have vests and they don't get issued enough ammo to train with. If they wore full body armor, trained regularly and carried shotguns and M14s like our cops. They wouldn't be so easily murdered.
I am pretty sure with my guns, my regular practice with them and the body armor I bought from a surplus shop, I would be better equipped and prepared to handle their duties then they are.
I agree that poor equipment and training makes the job really hard. But it should not be reason for them to avoid their sworn duty to protect the people. But I am with you on this... if I was an officer I would want at LEAST the same level of weaponary and training that the offenders have.
