stories like this remind me of the scene from the movie "casablanca," where the police chief enters rick's bar and says: "I am shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!"
wasn't that claude rains?
but still, it's nice to see that the policia chapines are finally under some scrutiny . . . whether it will result in any real reform is anyone's guess.
dkp
Yea, we'll see how this goes. I think it is a good thing that at least the investigation is taking place.
Since you allow that it's anyone's guess,I'll take up your challenge, dkp. How 'bout: Reforma! ¿Como--que es esto?
?reforma de la policia de guate? es broma? ?o mas que tragedia?
