With the recent seizure of weapons in Laredo, we know that drug cartels have a weapon of choice, usually high caliber weapons.
Recently the El Paso police department received M4 rifles, and even the chief has to carry one.
Our Noraida Negron talks to our local police department on whether or not they can match up with the cartels. Click on the video link to watch.

Well its to use it against the community of laredo. cause I have not seen them go against any of the crack houses here in laredo or any big time king pins that have huge houses in the ghettos of laredo or at the north side.

taxes taxes and more taxes.... thats what we all pay just to get them to play around is what i say, protect the community more against murder, rapes, and assaults. Stop worrying about citations on thefts, speeding, or kid fights. Do your real jobs officers

If these people that are commenting about crack house, kingpins, and whatever they think they know, why don't you report it? You CAN be anonymous .727-8477 (727-TIPS) or 795-2800.. unless it's the Laredo usual; complain, complain, complain .. but not getting involved. I guarantee, if I were to see drug activity in my neighborhood - it WILL be reported.
