Violent Extremism, Laredo Officials and Washington

I think this is worth watching. Laredo police chief talking about a nebulous threat of violent extremism,
which is never elaborated on, and how he has to make sure that Laredo gets it’s share of Homeland Security
funding so Mcallen or San Antonio or somebody doesn’t get all the goodies.

Oh and meeting with “Mr. Fast and Furious” Eric Holder.
There is a real threat from drug cartels that drug prohibition has created, and supposedly there was a threat from Al-Quaida, that the CIA admittedly created, and now “Violent Extremists”, which means what?
Anyone that does not go along with the official line?
