Police in Tijuana now armed with slingshots

Tijuana's police force of 2,000 officers has been without guns since Jan. 5 when soldiers confiscated their weapons on allegations of collusion with drug traffickers.

A municipal police spokesman said that the slingshots, along with bags of ballbearings, were given to the police in place of their guns.

If the slingshots aren’t effective, they could always give ‘em swords and spears.

Maybe next they’ll take away their bicycles and give ‘em donkeys to ride.
