Mesa police want to add monkey to SWAT team

El fin de semana pasado escuche una frase que se me hizo buenísima y me tuvo carcajeando por un buen rato. "Es mas peligroso que un mono con tijeras" Sólo la imagen me puede hacer sonreir... Bueno aparentemente no soy el único que acaba de entrar en contacto con esta frase.

El Swat de Mesa, Arizona esta pidiendo fondos federales (hehehe, habia puesto monos federales... sigan leyendo...) para comprar un mono capuchino y entrenarlo para...

desarmar bombas?

The Mesa Police Department is looking to add some primal instinct to its SWAT team. And to do that, it's looking to a monkey.

"Everybody laughs about it until they really start thinking about it," said Mesa Officer Sean Truelove, who builds and operates tactical robots for the suburban Phoenix SWAT team. "It would change the way we do business."

Truelove is spearheading the department's request to purchase and train a capuchin monkey, considered the second smartest primate to the chimpanzee. The department is seeking about $100,000 in federal grant money to put the idea to use in Mesa SWAT operations.


Por qué las personas en este tipo de notas tienen los nombras más extraños: Truelove??
