Federal agents implicated in disappearance of Mexican students

Mexico's national human rights commission has said two federal police officers participated in the disappearance of 43 students in 2014. It's the first time national agents have been implicated in the case. The commission announced Thursday it had found an eyewitness who alleges federal officers were present at the scene of the abduction in Mexico's southwestern Guerrero state. Jose Larrieta Carrasco, the commission member investigating the case, said the new evidence suggested the officers did nothing to stop local police from taking the youths away. The 43 student teachers disappeared in the city of Iguala on September 26, 2014. Investigators say local police from Iguala and the town of Cocula picked the students up and turned them over to the Guerreros Unidos drug cartel, who allegedly killed them and incinerated their bodies. In a new development, the unnamed witness said members of a third town's police force, Huitzuco, had also participated, the commission said. "The facts released today could constitute clear evidence of the coopting of municipal institutions by criminal organizations in Iguala, Cocula and, now with the information being released, probably Huitzuco," Larrieta said. "In the same way it could be an example of the alleged involvement of federal police officers." To date, the remains of only one of the students has been positively identified by burned bone fragments found near a local dump.

The protestors in Kommiefornia are having fits because Trump said Mexico was sending us their rapists?

I'm still waiting for their outraged demonstrations over the mass murder of their own people by their own people. I guess I'll just have to wait a little longer. Probably a lot longer.
