The honest & brave police officer is survived by his two children. Meanwhile, Narco's are survived with 5+ children. I'm very worried about the future of Mexico.
ReplyDeleteYou make a good point. How horrible
DeleteDamn , Coahuila has been the craziest state in Mexico this year , especially in Piedras Negras
ReplyDeletewhen are they going to start armouring the police vehicles,they need some sort of defence.
ReplyDeleteinch thick steel plating behind seats,bullet proof windscreen and side windows and more steel plating in the doors....to give them atleast a chance.
Too costly
Deletereally a tiny fish in the saltillo sea of police. he was rotating captain not a chief.
ReplyDelete@5:44pm I had thought of that idea too. At the very least bullet proof front and back windsheilds and driver's door.
ReplyDeleteIt was probably corrupt cops that got him.
It is naive to think that Mexico can dig itself out of this mess, or to compare Mexico's situation to Colombia.
ReplyDeleteMexico's problems are systematic due to corruption and weak institutions.
Ultimately, the Mexican people will have to reach the breaking point to finally change their society.
The US govt deserves part of the blame as well.
Bunch of cowards,terrorist killers...living those babies fatherless..just for that karma is coming your way...
ReplyDeleteSome terrible things are happening in Mexico. It is only a matter of time, I repeat, it is only a matter of time and same things will happen in USA.
ReplyDeleteMore Americans must first be turned into weak and fearful people willing to submit to coercion. This step will be accomplished with more gun laws and gun confiscation. It is only a matter of time.
See this would never happen to DPS...
ReplyDeleteits all those zetas that escaped from prison still doing hits and living life with no worries they need to grab some of these,as holes and beat the fijoles out of them to get info that leads them to z40 or any other peice of shit out there
ReplyDeletePiedras is so bad because the zetas run that bitch believe me all the bosses are in piedras
ReplyDeleteThe guy was on the take and the opposing side bumped him off. Common story.
ReplyDeleteDrive-by shootings, they fighting techniques of little girls...
ReplyDeleteThis time you are wrong. This one was a do gooder and it is too bad. There are a few uncorruptibles. Rare but true.
ReplyDeletePublic record in 13 years, he had a clean record. 20 approved and clean drug tests as well as 3 passed confidence tests. He had 15 bullets in him.
ReplyDeleteGood old mexican gun control!!!!!
ReplyDeleteConsidering he was on his own in the vehicle suggests one of his corrupted colleagues might well have set him up?.

how come a whole town can be taken over while the police look on?, surely a simple phone call could have got a few helicopter gunships in tow which could have wiped out scores of the bastards?. Check out video link something seriousley wrong with a country when massacres can be carried out in plain sight, shameful despicable country Mexico.
