Dallas has been enjoying a sharp increase in crime since the police shut down an expressway so the chief could have a procession honoring a cop killer.

So now he's willing to respond to drive down crime by arming his cops with nerf - type weapons.

Are the criminals being armed with sponge guns as well, or do they get to fire real bullets?

So, the criminals will also be required to use ‘sponge’ guns?

Liberals have such grand ideas — on paper.

Judge them by their intent, because the unintended consequences of this is going to cost officers their lives. How many officers will die in the line of duty before the Libs backtrack on this?

So, does the officer use the last ‘sponge’ bullet to soak up the blood from his wound or does he fire it at the approaching perp who is firing real bullets?

Decisions. Decisions.

Does this mean that the police will now be issued regulation Nerf guns?
