Mexico City: A 20-year-old criminology student, the only candidate for the position, was designated as police chief in the violence-plagued town of Guadalupe Distrito Bravo, Mexican media reported Tuesday.Do you think there's a reason you were the only candidate? I like how, later in the article, the responsibility for fighting the drug gangs is shunted off to "other law enforcement agencies". Let us know how that works for you - provided, of course, that you can find a suitable medium. Actually, she might not be too bad off - something tells me someone whose aim is to "reclaim public space" isn't exactly going to make the cartels quake in their boots. They might even help keep her alive so they don't have to worry about a police chief who might stand up to them...
Marisol Valles Garcia took charge on Monday of security in the town, population 10,000, on the US border. The community is around 80 km east of Ciudad Juarez, itself regarded as the most violent city in Mexico.
I'd give even odds over her finishing out her term - unlike her predecessor, that is...
That is all.

She seems hopelessly naive.
I wish her the best.
Considering that she has said that she does not intend to be armed, will staff the department with other unarmed women, and intends to keep the peace through reason and understanding, the local cartel won't see her as much of a threat.
........unless they get tired of her attempting to talk them to death.
"....All we are saying, is give Peace a Chance..." Hippie Cops vs the Drug Cartels. What's next, Nuns vs the Taliban? Can you say "Uber Epic Fail"?
Zeta will have her for lunch before I finish typing this.
My favorite part of watching this story on....whatever news channel was playing at the diner....was the fact that she/the translator said that she would not let the police carry guns. Instead, she would fight the criminals with principles and....I think it was good values or whatever. Whatever it was, I can assure you that it isn't found in the armory.
So she's not only taking down herself, but the police men too.
