| Billboards with hanging mannequins warning cops to choose 'silver over lead' appear in Texas |

| Two frightening incidents of vandalism in El Paso near the Mexican border in Texas have been interpreted as warnings from drug cartels. In both instances, a mannequin wearing a suit and tie was tied to a billboard with a noose and messages were scrawled over the placards. Local station KHOU reports that one of the signs reads 'Plata o Plombo' which translates to 'silver or lead', a threat used commonly against police officers effectively warning that if they do not accept the cartel's bribes then they will be shot. I'd like to believe that Texans can dish out a little plomo themselves. |

| #2 Just remember folks, we got plenty of border security, and open immigration's not a problem. O'jackass says so. |

| #1 Yep, unlike Mexico, Texas has a death penalty and is not embarrassed to use it. Cop killing is a fast track to the end. |
