The force of humanity
They're reviled, but relied upon to keep the peace. Now one city is using culture to help hardened officers and head off corruption.
CIUDAD NEZAHUALCOYOTL, MEXICO — On a recent afternoon, two dozen municipal police officers glided around a classroom in their socks, 9 mm submachine guns and pistols slung at their hips.
"Don't be shy," said their instructor, encouraging them to slide their feet across a pile of brightly colored books strewn on the floor. "Let your toes do the exploring."
So what it this? A strange new fetish? Some eccentric fad?

Norwegian passport scandal rev
Oslo, 20 April, (Asiantribune.com): The Police officer Herman Olav Nyhusmoen (“Herman”) who has admitted stealing nine passports on the orders of Mike Daniel Jeya ("Mike") told the court that he used a fellow officer to distract the attention from the passport storage. "Herman" made a lunch appointment with police officer Hans Olav Leite ("Leite"). After the lunch they walked down to the passport section in the police station. "Leite" spoke to a person working in the passport section, the people that worked in the passport section became distracted and "Herman" used this opportunity to steal three passports.
"Herman" said he did not plan to steal the passports, it was a coincidence he stole the passports. The meeting with "Mike" forty minutes after the theft was not prearranged; "Herman " assured the court. When "Mike's" attorney Mr. Dietrichson was asking "Herman" about the routine related to the Police storage of confiscated weapons, the "Leite" name again appeared, this time as a source for the question related to the confiscated weapons storage? Why is the defence attorney talking about the routine related to the keys to the weapons storage, this is a passport case, is he alleging "Herman" also has sold weapons?
The police special investigation unit SEFO is obviously satisfied with the number of passport "Herman" has sold to “Mike”. This raises the question; what about the 18 Norwegian passports confiscated in Thailand? According to the district attorney the passports in Thailand were confiscated as a result of the investigation of "Mike". One of the passports confiscated in Thailand was issued to "Mike's" sister in law. So who has helped "Mike" or his "mighty" friends in Sri Lanka with these passports? Nobody seems interested in who is the supplier of the Norwegian passports in Thailand. Neither the District attorney nor the defence attorney has showed any interest in enlightening the court about the unresolved mystery: who are the "mighty" people in Sri Lanka "Mike" was telling "Hermann" about?
The District attorney is not eager to get the foreign witnesses to testify. The District attorney arranged for a telephone interview instead of letting the court pay for the witnesses travel expenses. The Judge reminded the district attorney the court pays for the witnesses travel expenses. Is the District attorney incompetent or could it be he is afraid his witnesses could bring more information, incriminating more people?
This was from the beginning an easy case. Both "Mike" and "Herman" had confessed.
With people arrested in Norway, France, Germany, 18 passports confiscated in Thailand, a passport buyer testifying, it should be easy to prove both organised crime and trafficking. The District attorney is making a bid to get the Judges and the rest of the world to believe "Mike" is a petty criminal and not a Lieutenant in the world-wide network linked to terrorism.
