Sounds like the introduction of the Hooter’s brigade.

Brave or stupid?

She needs our prayers either way.

[Dr. Sivana]

She intends to send out all-female patrols -- because women "tend to be more sensitive and less intimidating,"

Great. We can have "Hello Kitty" and "Strawberry Shortcake" on the front lines.

beat 20 other contenders... "We're not going to walk around armed because we don't want people to be afraid," Valles Garcia said.

When I first heard about her, I was impressed, but I also felt sorry for her because she will be killed. After reading this I just feel sorry for her because she’ll be killed.

Police chief or community organizer?

[Interesting Times]

That’s certainly going to impress the drug cartels.

Maybe they’ll leave her head on her shoulders simply because it’s to their advantage to have someone who is utterly ineffective in that position. Much better for them than some hard-charging, serious, competent reformer.

Well, they wouldn’t attack unarmed women now would they? /s/

She will either be so rich (from bribes etc) that she will either retire before she turns 25 or more than likely meet a quick demise if she starts getting ‘uppity’ and/or ‘non-cooperative’.

She’s decided to do local, preventative policing - aka social work and community building. Is going to leave drug enforcement to staties and federales. We’ll see how that works out for her.

[Mad_as_heck]

Sort of a stupid idea but I will give her profs for having the guts to put herself in the line of fire. Of course she will either be co-opted or killed by the drug dealers. Things are getting ugly fast down in old Mexico.

[Husker24]

Maybe they’ll leave her alone then.

If she'd use her community organizing skills to put together a posse, then we'd be talking.

A little small town vigilance committee justice might be what the doctor ordered.
