      You make valid points but have ever asked yourself why so many people are risking their lives in crossing two sometimes three borders to get here. Our country has a longstanding history of melding and destabilizing other countries governments and their economies. We did to El Salvador Guatemala Honduras and many others the mass migrations are a direct result of that. As for drugs crossing borders it’s all about supply and demand, the US is the fiend Mexico is the dealer the same can be said of the US suppling weapons to cartels. Soft gun laws makes it easy for citizens to purchase cross the border and sell weapons directly to the criminals those are just facts.

      @bebop_557 Месяц назад +43

      @@egalvf69 Firearms instructor here. It really depends on what the car is and the task it's being uparmored for. Typically these vehicles on the border are uparmored to deal with things like rocks being thrown at them or people trying to smash in the windows. If the cruiser was uparmored to protect against things like rifle rounds and heavier calibers, the giveaway for those is the suspension. When a soft skinned vehicle is uparmored to that degree, it becomes noticeably heavier. Which means the suspension has to beefed up, as well as the engine (to make sure the vehicle can still pursue at high speeds and to help ensure the engine doesn't overheat from the added weight it's moving).
      If you can't see the suspension, the way it drives is another telltale sign. It's basically like driving a humvee when it's uparmored to that degree. Look at that viral video of the South African CIT heist which Leo Prinsloo fought off. The vehicle was a regular Toyota truck that had been uparmored, as a result it wasn't very maneuverable. Hence him making wide turns and it being heavy enough to take being rammed by the other cars.
      As far as State Troopers go it depends on the state, the area the Trooper is patrolling, etc. For the state of Texas, a Trooper is required to hold their own for over an hour without any backup as part of their training. This is due to the wide areas they typically cover with Texas being so large. But being stationed on the border, that Trooper almost certainly has backup nearby in the form of BP, local PD, Texas Rangers, and other Troopers. I'm willing to bet the cruiser he was in had one way protective layering on the windows, which would allow him to shoot out but would offer resistance against bullets trying to come in. There are companies who uparmor pre-existing glass like that with protective coatings for things like cruisers and important buildings. (Not the same as doing construction to physically replace the glass.) As far as the doors go, larger departments typically stick rifle plates in the door panels to provide some degree of protection as it's usually going to be the cheapest and easiest to do that in large groups of cars. Typically the more specialized units get the serious armor, like MRAPs for SWAT etc. State Troopers especially mainly are around on highways, so the faster the cruiser is the better for their general work. Again, these are generalizations as things can vary so much.
      It's also entirely possible that Trooper was rolling lighter than normal because you're not going to knowingly drag a journalist into dangerous situations such as multiple rifle wielding threats. He probably was glad to do it because it meant he wouldn't be losing 30 pounds in sweat with his armor on all day lol
      Hope this answers your questions about uparmors.

    So I am actually from Laredo. Born and raised. The first stash house you showed is actually 3 blocks away from my childhood home. I drove by it everyday on the way home from school. Life in Laredo is different. We don’t fully acknowledge what’s going on. I lived right next to the river, off of meadow, right before you hit chacon creek. My parents built a 12 foot fence to make sure people couldn’t get in. We always had big dogs outside so no one would sneak in. We’ve seen border patrol chases that lead to car crashes. The sad part is, it’s daily life. I met a man that was from Peru. He had crossed by himself and had just run from a cartel group that was trying to pick him up. He just wanted to see his wife and kids. We called his wife and actually spoke to her. He came back from Peru, he didn’t use the cartel, just waited for the right day. She picked him up and thanked us for not calling the cops. All we said was, he did it for his family. The first thing he did was kiss his wife and hug his kids. Before 2016, it wasn’t this bad. The cartel still didn’t have the influence it has now. The cartel has just made it worse there.

    First, my deep respect for all law enforcement agencies. Federal, State, County, and Local, thank you for being on the line.
    I'm a Laredo resident, and I can say that Laredo is a super safe city thanks to the immense amount of law enforcement around. The government takes care a lot of Laredo due to being the most important bridges in the whole USA. More than 60%, it's cross right here.
    You can't believe the number of local PD, state, and federal officers along the city and county(Webb). I will say that the worst areas are the Rio Grande Valley from Roma,TX to Harlingen, TX. That is insecure area.
    All the Texas border is a unique zones where the majority are bilingual and Bi-culture. It's hard to understand from the outside, but here we are proud of our Mexican ancestry, proud Texans, and proud to be Americans. A unique mix .....

      What I don't see covered here is how often corrupt law enforcement officials are caught taking bribes from the other side. I imagine they wouldn't give them access to interview the police but still something to take into account. Border towns in the US are not that dangerous they are some of the safest cities in the US. But all the violent crime is overshadowed by the corruption stats. Things are not always what they seem down here...
