Thanks to Pepe for the photos...
Just so we know we're getting into the big leagues, the former mayor of Tepalcatepec, Guillermo Valencia, gave us a glimpse of the police patrol units that are circulating around in his home town; Mercedes Benz models, no less.
Just so we know we're getting into the big leagues, the former mayor of Tepalcatepec, Guillermo Valencia, gave us a glimpse of the police patrol units that are circulating around in his home town; Mercedes Benz models, no less.
Hearing rumors about the transportation that Fuerza Rural [Castillo's rural police] police are using in Apatzingan, the incredulous Valencia asked social network users to send him photographs as proof... and seeing such marvelous images, the deposed mayor could only think to compare the Michoacan city with Dubai... and how can you avoid the comparison, when it's only in those countries, where it seems that money flows - in some places--, that they have the luxury of using sports cars for public safety.
"It's one of the richest and most modern cities cities in the world. Proof of that is that its police force has a fleet of patrol vehicles that includes Lamborghini sports cars... In Apatzingan, Michoacan, they don't hold back, and the new Rural Police Forces also have them, but they use Mercedes Benz sports cars," Valencia said with irony.
But in the Michoacan municipality, they do things backwards; before transforming their city into a business focal point, they first create the appearance, and the new patrol vehicles are a sign of the growth that the region will have. They even give hope to those families that live in poverty, the former mayor points out.
But, well, not everything is luxury. While the Fuerza Rural drives all terrain BMW X5s, worth approximately one million pesos ($77,000.00), members of the new National Gendarmerie have to make do with Jeeps that cost about 450,000 pesos (approx. $35,000.00)
"The new police forces created by Commissioner Alfredo Castillo seem to be at the Viceroy's level of opulence, who, as a government official, earns more than the President of the Republic, since he (Castillo) receives a monthly salary of $194,000. plus benefits. This police force surpasses the privileged police forces of economic and petroleum superpowers like the police from the Arab Emirate of Dubai. I wonder if President Pena Nieto knows that his envoy's police force has more privileges than the federal government's new security force?" asks Valencia.
It's well and good that the authorities should be well equipped... but that well? And should they give themselves those luxuries?
Impresionante, ¿qué cártel controla Apatzingán? Agite mi cabeza
ReplyDeleteChiviz y haven't you reported the new 5000 men army trained with no ties to the mexican police. To fight cartels in infested towns

ReplyDeleteWho's paying for the vehicles.
ReplyDeleteAmerican drug users thats who
DeleteI get mine at the dispencary, so not cheap dirt weed like Mexican zest
DeleteOh, Mexico! Te voy a extrañar cuando me muera.
ReplyDelete-Ronco
i bet all them cars are stolen....figures..
ReplyDeleteNo manchen!!! Mexicans do it better!!! Jajaja
ReplyDeleteI suspect these vehicles are not bought , but are vehicles confiscated from CT and then re painted and used as patrol vehicles. Even that would be left field. Better to auction them off , then use the money to put back into the state to improve basic services.
ReplyDeleteYeah so then the corrupt government keep.the money!
DeleteLol michoacanos always trying too hard to call attention o my god wat else could I say
ReplyDeleteDrug money in both places.
ReplyDeleteThe michocanos r ridiculous
ReplyDeleteYes they stupid ridiculous the cartels from michoacan are fucken stupid they might of started the cooking of crystal meth but the Sinaloenses are the ones that got there shit out Nacho Coronel was the king of Crystal meth he was part of the Sinaloenses so without the help of the Sinaloenses and some help of Cartel del golfo michoacan would not make it in the bussiness , Sinaloenses have the almost all the border under their ccontrol tijuana cartel, juarez cartel and then cartel del golfo the rest so michoacanos have to go to them to be able to pass drug and get drugs out that's why they had to go fuck there own people in michoacan and steal and charge taxes from the poor people in michoacan and people think la tuta has money and makes millions hahahahahahahalolo that's funny that's why they are always trying to call attention by doing ridiculous stupid shit that no one likes lololololol
DeleteNo mames pinches Sinaloas pochos, son los mas lambehuevos. Don't believe the Corridos. Apuesto todo que un Michoacano se lo putio y domas les tiras de la computer!
DeleteKeep bragging about sinaloa while the government keeps slapping them around. Why do you think most cartels want to side with michoacan? They have good drugs. It's called business. People all ways hating on michoacanos. Lol
DeleteLol Sinaloenses r the one that moves most of the drugs , hahahahaha michoacanos r the ones making shit look bad, michoacanos only control michoacan and they cook crystal every were now they don't even need it from michoacan hahahahaha Sinaloenses move to much drugs that they have to go get some from michoacan because is not enough plus michoacanos are allies with Sinaloenses u guys really don't know how shit is even cartel del golfo has allies with sinaloa Lol people here are funny if u guys knew how shit really is in mexico
DeleteSinaloenses have been in the bussiness for more than 100 years that's all I have to say
DeletePinche Sinaloas envidiosas. Just because CDS is a cartel of snitches they come and hate on other parts of Mexico. They get embarrassed of saying "Arriba Sinaloa" when all the articles on CDS is of them snitching on everyone.
DeleteNope Sinaloa don't hate they hate on Sinaloa wat king of bussiness u think this is, everything goes hate the game don't hate Sinaloa
DeleteQue pais. So fucked-up! This is major comedy.
ReplyDeleteYou gotta be jackin my wagon.
ReplyDeletedrug money buys nice things
ReplyDeleteSo where is the guy that blames the US for everything? Go ahead and chime in and tell us readers why the US is at fault for this police force misusing funds. Why the US is at fault for the people in this area living in poverty while the police splurge on patrol vehicles. Go ahead I want to hear your rationale....
ReplyDeleteAre you the american coward that won't answer my question about Putin?
Delete@704 damn dude you really sit around and wait for that person to make comments? That's pretty fucking sad. Here's one for the meantime: Um, if you think Mexico being as fucked up as it is politically and economically AND being this close to the US is a coincidence, you're not as bright as you think you are. That or you're living in fantasy land where dope just appears by magic on the streets of the US, and where the people really running the US rape the shit out of Mexico's economy. Mexican politicians, I. E. not Mexican citizens, are more to blame than anything.
Delete7:04 loser
DeletePoint made but really not very well. Anyway you basically fell into my trap hook, line and sinker. Whether you are the douche that decries negativity about the US or not it really doesn't matter. My point is that I really don't give a shit about the blame game. What I do care about is reading info on the "drug in war in Mexico" and not "I got vaginitis and it's the US's fault". And trust me I am brighter than think. This web page is about "informing" the readers and not blaming the gringos every chance you get. Personally I live in the real world making real world money so I don't have to fantasize. I do and always will find the time to defend my country. With that said tell me how you really feel.
Delete@9:31a LOL!!! Don't be jealous or envious. God has a purpose for us all.....Your purpose is to be another douche like 10:18p while my purpose is to instigate and stir the pot. Also who cares about Putin 9:20p Russia has nothing the US wants end of story. Russia flexes it's muscles every few years to act as if they are still relevant as a military power. If something broke off between the US and Russia Mexico would get pulled into it also.
Delete@1008 hahaha you defend your country every chance you get.... Ok, and exactly what branch did you serve in... fucking none. I'm done with you, you're even worse than I thought. I figured that person you're saying always has the panty wads for the US was pretty bad but you're worse if you're that much of a fucking corny ass Internet commando. All I know is Mexico needs to handle it's own shit but with such "help" from the US, it will never get out of this drug war hole that's sinking it lower and lower.
Delete4:38 You know Russia can take out half your population right.
Delete10:32 sorry you feel that way. Don't get so excited. I'm just being a asshole no disrespect to you or Mexico intended. I was just trying to push your buttons. Just like you defend your country I defend mine. Believe it or not you and I are one of the same. We are both passionate for our homeland and we would defend it to the day we die. No hard feelings.
Delete@620 the high road it is.. good day
Delete@10:18 your answer says it all.the Mexican people are to blame for not taking responsibility for their country.look at mirelles.its because of jackasses like you the ONLY responsible Mexican is in jail.
Delete11:34 Russia couldn't even afford the fuel it would take to come attack us on our home soil. Plus they could barely deal with the Ukraine let alone the USA. They would have a chance if China and North Korea jumped on the bandwagon but if that happened all of North and South America would be totally fucked
DeleteComandantes Buchones
ReplyDeleteWhat a stupid waste of money. While people are starving or going without an education
ReplyDeleteThat little China women Mercedes is just as much as the chargers they drive here in Hayward ca ( the police drive chargers)
ReplyDeleteSorry, but don't compare a Dodge Charger to a Mercedez, not in the same league.. Day and night
DeleteA Charger is fine for a patrol car, a benz?!? Not so much
U are some ignorant ass norteño i swear, its the irony of what they are trying to prove pendejo , i swear everything north of valencia are tapados y indiorantes
DeletePolice at all levels in all of México also Drive chargers. And Dodge ram trucks new ones with rollbars. The marines have Chevy trucks all camo with roll bars.
DeleteI lived in Hayward for a year... its the biggest shit-hole on planet earth. It sucks major nuts!! Had to come back down to L.A.
DeleteNeed to check the procedence and the dealers of the cars, if many juersas ruralez are not being paid, and they quit because of that, again only the upper chiefs are stealing their salaries and still trafficking, with castillo'at the very top, presidential envoys of the atracomulco presidente, el indio que ya no es indio, are as corrupt as anything, and as long as the politicians excuse each other's behaviour by saying "that is how we mexicans are", we will never see the end of it
ReplyDeleteAre these guys public security? Or protect cartel businessmen hmmm wow this shows narcos culture at its fullest
ReplyDeleteMichoacan doing it right
ReplyDeleteFuture narcos
ReplyDeleteSon Los narcos Del presente no Del futuro... Ke putas ban a sabe si nomas se la pasan clavados aki which tells stories that are translated from sources that get extorted and murdered if they tell the truth or put someone's ass on the line??
DeleteEl idiota con su sueño,ser dueño de algo k no puede tener.
ReplyDeletePeople! Follow the dots, these are the "police" commanded by smurf and Americano. RCQ and Mencho and drug money pay for the vehicles. the police that have good intentions have not been paid, and few have weapons.
ReplyDeleteyou have to pay attention here.
they are cartel from the h3
ReplyDelete7:33...re: Chargers, they are driving them in Puerto Escondido Oaxaca....the Federales there have no shame they extort money from everyone or take your gun if you are unlucky enough to get caught with one.
ReplyDeleteTake notes from la tuta!
ReplyDeleteThey should do what the U.S government is doing and provide them with military armored trucks and shit
ReplyDeleteLike they did with ISIS, idiots!
DeletePablo Escobars favorite hitman admits to 1,000s of killings and gets released from prison. Mexico, a 3rd world country, has cops driving around in $70k cars meanwhile in USA cops drive around in $20k cars..
ReplyDeleteLatin American corruption... When will it stop?
@1102 damn your do more than wait around for someone to attack the US huh? Third world country? Haha you've been there 0 times how would you know what a third world country looks like beyond your computer screen? Your local average police car (crown Vic Taurus or charger) is closer to 50 with all the shit they end up putting on them.... Relax buddy. It's not ok to hate Mexico just because of a little drug war that the US helped start....
DeleteCheck the record, the US first put corruption in motion by removing elected leaders and placing corrupted sympathizers in control. With a little military training with help from "ex" Nazis. But that's not the first time we see this type of behavior is it?
DeleteEvery where the US goes they make things worse.
Delete@3:25p except For Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia. Why go to Mexico when you can go to Costa Rica or Panama where you are 10 times safer as a tourist. Look at Colombia and especially look at their soccer program with US's help. Soccer was next to dead after Pablo Escobar in Colombia. The Colombian government worked side by side with the US to reduce the drug violence and corruption. Imagine what could happen in Mexico if the Mexican government had the same commitment as Colombia.
DeleteEverywhere mexico goes they make it things worse.. why look at all the people trying to sneak into mexico,ja ja!!
DeleteI did not know the US taught Columbia how to play soccer.
DeleteColumbia u suck if the US has to teach u how to play soccer, your sport.
DeleteMoney talks and teaches. How else is there funding for soccer. There was no money for the Colombian soccer program after Pablo Escobar and the other cartels were decimated. I know it will hurt some of you to admit the funding from the US helped the state of Colombian soccer. But who really cares big brother always helps those that want to be helped. Hence is why certain countries are in the state they are in right now (hint hint Mexico).
DeleteSoy michoacano y patrullamos al cien. El gobierno nos paga para que la mercansia llege bien. Todo el relajo de liberar los pueblos era gancho para el gobierno. Ahora la plaza es controlada desde un Castillo.........
ReplyDeleteAnonymousAugust 26, 2014 at 11:08 PM
DeleteEstas pesado michoacano! !!!
Estas pendejo Michoacano!
DeleteHasta ke alguien dice algo con sentido«Común»
DeletePor eso odio a los de michoacan. Cuando ando por sus tierras se nos voltea la canua a nosotros de sinaloa!
DeleteYet again I would offer that they are confiscated vehicles from the caballero templarios. All the narco cars are armoured. If you are a Fuerza Ruarales , and had the choice between a standard unarmoured police pick up , or an air conditioned armoured mercedes , Id take the Mercedes , especially if I didnt have to buy it in the first place.
ReplyDeleteIts actually not a bad idea , using the proceeds of crime to fight crime , but no chance of that with the FR , better these vehicles went to the AD to use as patrol cars.
Really are you going to compare Mexico vs dubai. That's what's wrong is that want to be Mexican hide behind a computer that never been to Mexico and want to express there opion on some thing they have no idea.
ReplyDeleteChinese knock-offs, mexico has been making volkswagens for 100 years, and mercedes are about just the same, one thing is for sure, they did not find those cars just lying abandoned on the street, like ISIS, they found all their trucks, weapons, tanks, etc all lying on the desert, abandoned by the US by mistake, yeah yeah...
ReplyDelete--Now all we need is for ISIS to find sadam hussein's imaginary weapons of mass destruction and "niuculear devices" and send them to mexico dirty dick cheney would be so happy...
Can you believe these idiots first they train them, give them money and weapons. When they are done using them they call them terrorist.
DeleteYou are a cyber terrorist 10:14a. Your comments are terrorizing my eyeballs.
DeleteNo just the truth!
Deletedisgusting country
ReplyDeleteRacist white trash!
DeleteThere's s lot of money flowing around those areas, the templarios got the federales mercedes and gave them money and now they work together. That's what it is. I saw a story in the mexican news channel that had father goyo saing the federales used to be against the templarios but now they work together.
ReplyDeleteWonder if any of them are armoured...
ReplyDeleteSe piratean los michoacanos always trying to be like the sinaloans
ReplyDeleteQue bueno que piensa igual que yo asi son los de michoacan Afuersas quieren tener narco cultura hahaha
DeleteEs tido lo que tiene sinaloa, narco coltura. Michoacan esta yeno de coltura, si no lo crees lee un Libra de historias de mexico. Tan orgullosos de sus narquitos pendejos, por eso todos los sinaloas estan pendejos.. dios aluminalos pero no los encandiles! !
DeleteSimon pulled from Rural Police because of Tuta video....now he just kills why the police look the other way, as opposed to killing with their blessing (in uniform)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.milenio.com/policia/El_Americano_y_La_Tuta-comandante_Americano_y_Tuta-Americano_nexos_con_Templarios_0_361763980.html
All shitty nbot even close to Lambos.
ReplyDeleteH3 might go for 15k tops the X5 is under 10k and that Shitty @ series Benz is also under 10k. The Graphics probably cost more than the cars! USA cops do not drive 20k cars. Patrol Bike costs about 50k after its equipped a car can go for 60-70 with customization.
11:02 latin american corruption will end when the US keeps its envoys and ambassadors, weapons and gorillas home, AND the mexicans can kick the federal police and commissioneers back to el DF, AND no more grupo mexico, grupo atracomulco or anybody with political ties can run for politics anymore.
ReplyDeleteSimon pulled.. good, what follows is:
ReplyDeleteHe will be racing la puta tuta for the door out, trying to run away like el kike and el chayo, i hope they get a good bounty for his ass...
Mexico is not the worst country in the world bb readers!! U have easily over 100 countries worst than that examples? Nigeria ethiopia el salvador haiti honduras Philippines no id rather live in mexico if i work decently i get to eat but in countries like ethiopia there no food or medicine god please stop hating on mexico unfortunately everyone hates us salvadorans guatemalans anglo-europeans aka gringos gabachos bolillos when we play football real football without helmets god why do they call it football they dont kick the ball that much anyways when mexico plays vs us all hondurans n guatemalans cheer for the us thats ok i hate losing to the us but i give em credit they compete very well only the us n mexico have done much more for north american football internationally why talking bout football cause were always talking bout violence yess its a blog dedicated just for that but I made my point bb staff Madame chivis or whoever s in charge please publish my comment
ReplyDeleteLos Michoacanos se la tiran de "Buchones" y se les puede entender ya que ellos viven en un estado bravo como lo es el de Sinaloa también.
ReplyDeletePero los Jalisquillos esos weyes se creen "malotes" habiendo tanto jotorron en ese estado a si nadien los puede entender.
6:20 but, you are not defending your country, you are defending your country's crooks!!! That is all you have ever done, and you defend your country's crooks like a bitch, toot and nails and all the lies you can grab on, that is why the US keeps losing all the wars it gets involved in since korea, because you are always doing your crooked politicians biding in the name of US businessmen's corporate welfare.
ReplyDelete--When are you, miserly mule, going to take off the voluntary bilnders???
6:20 you might want to check the stats on who won wars and what makes a winner of a war. Vietnam is the only major war that can be questioned on whether there was a winner or not. In Vietnam 58,000 Americans died but 1.1 million North Vietnamese/Viet Cong died. It's obvious who lost the numbers game. The war on terror has only 6700 American casualties versus several hundreds thousands of Taliban, Iraqi and insurgents dead. Again who won the numbers game?

ReplyDeleteThose are some expensive tin cans, for target practice.
Football clubs travel a lot, their traveling hides a lot of drug trafficking and money laundering, the us may not have taught the colo-colos , but some US elements have sure taught the colombian narcs how to mix the drug trafficking and making money off it to some colombians, under guise of football, the US controls for good results from their end, it is all set...
ReplyDelete4:38 i don't see any russian invassions of any western world countries, maybe some relationships refreshing, or news programs, but no war ships, like on the ukrainia, full of US navy ships ready to conquer ukrainia and surround rusia for the future takeover, to improve the economies of all the countries that got fucked up by the eurpean union and their AUSTERITY FOR THE POOR programs that improved the rich manipulators' economies anyway all while socializing poverty and privatizing property...
ReplyDelete--PRIVATIZE PROPERTY, SOCIALIZE POVERTY, that is the new creed, and it is rusia's turn to fork the ass, clearly that is what has the enemy at the gates again, like it should be a cake walk to stick it to the russians...
--somebody needs to stop smoking their motherfucking medicinal, it is clearly not working...
--" rusia has nothing..." how stupid can you be???
All Russia has is blood and if the US wants it we will take it. We are the devil's seed and we want your souls to sacrifice. I really think that the US made Eve take a bite of the fruit from the forbidden tree. The US caused the dinosaurs to disappear millions of years ago. The US crucified Jesus Christ and we also created Hitler and the Holocaust. What else did we do??? Give me some more ideas. We as a nation are very strong and we can take any blame for whatever bullshit anyone wants to blame us for. The US government has done some despicable things throughout history but what country hasn't. It's human nature to destroy things you don't understand. Are we Americans held to a higher standard than the rest of the world? If we are then why. Just because we are an easy target? I am a Democrat and it would be very interesting if a republican wins the presidency in 2016. They may just build that wall between the US and Mexico that they are threatening they will build. Just think what will happen in Mexico if that occurs. And of course it will be the US's fault. Go figure!!!
DeleteSo, those Nigerians arrested a while back came in handy after all. 😈
ReplyDeletePayed for by US Taxpayers. The Us exports $ and Mexico exports crime, drugs and their poor. US remittances as well as billions of foreign Aid prop up Nietos failed State. In Mexico, all the Federal cops and the army are in the pockets of the cartels. The Zapatistas have more integrity than most Mexican police.
ReplyDeleteSoy michoacano y creo que esta pinche guerra de entre michoacan y sinaloa es hablada por gente que ni siquiera es gente de estos dos estados.Ademas ambos estados estan bien fregados asi que no se que chingaos presumen, sinaloa tiene a zetas dentro de su estado y michoacan tiene a todo el gobierno, a los de jalisco, y a la gente de guerreros unidos combatiendolos? Yo prefiero quedarme con el hecho de que michoacan es rico en historia y saber que es rico en oro.por otra parte no todos la raza de sinaloa es corriente escuchando pinches corridillos pendejos que canta gente que es nacida y criada fuera de mexico como el gerardo ortiz
