ReplyDeleteIs it safe to say this is rooted in the cops handing the guys over to the other cartel in san carlos? Which would make it the salazars? Or is it cuz theyre working for blo and the salazars want to send a big message?
ReplyDeleteGoes to show that majority of these municipal officials are in cahoots with cartels. Policing communities and providing safety for the residents in Mexico has evolved into a criminal structure. Not worthy of the badge they carry nor the laws that they are supposed to enforce.
DeleteThis story like many to come is the future of what Mexico has embraced and become.
I am quite sure that there are many who would like to do good work protecting their communities. Moreover, honoring the responsibilities entailed in being a policeman. But no one is willing to pay the price from all those corrupt officials who have a bullet with their name on it.
A crooked cop is no different than one of these methhead cartel dipshits. Play in dirt, plan on getting dirty. Feel sorry for all the law abiding citizens with nowhere to turn.
ReplyDeletePolesias could be more Selective with their Operatives, if they think it is OK to be around alone without support and to have no barriers or control of traffic in the area where they are, they running dead fool's errands, blame their comandantes.
