Coupled with her athletic ability and talent, when she puts it together, she's a dynamo...
...send all the Mexicans back.'" Some of his officers were jumpy too--ready to crack down on immigrants. "I told people that it's not whites or Hispanics who killed Marc," Davila says. "It's drug-dealing cop killers. The issue isn't ethnicity--it's crime and drugs." Losing Atkinson was bad enough. Davila was determined to lose nothing more...
