SAN JUAN IXTAYOPAN, Mexico - One day after a mob killed two federal police officers, believing they were kidnappers, the residents of this town were still angry. And unapologetic.
"We'll keep taking justice in our hands if in 20 days police don't end kidnappings, robberies and police corruption," said one indignant homemaker, who like nearly everyone here asked not to be identified.
'snip'
"We support the killings," said one man, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "Police here are all corrupt."

If Mexicans took better care of their own interests, maybe they wouldn't feel compelled to force themselves on us with illegal immigration.
Where did a lot those "corrupt" policemen come from if not from small towns all over Mexico?
If these are the kind of people who breed the police of tomorrow the Mexican police will never change. Too bad the people in this town don't realize the consequences of their actions.
On a business trip to San Diego, I found a printed card in my hotel room warning me of the prevalence of car jackings and stolen rental cars. On querying hotel staff about this situation, they stated that a lot of the jacked vehicles end up driving south of the border, where the federales take their fair share of the loot. The property's manager told me that he has driven by parking lots next to police stations in Mexico and found them full of BMW's, Lexus, Mercedes, etc.
Perhaps just gossip, but if true... when official justice institutions are corrupt to the core, vigilantism will flourish. Sad, but understandable.
We've got to follow the President and get those borders open wide! We've got to do everything we can to protect the corrupt government of Mexico.. uh, wait a second! Why?
in my view if they go on sprees to purge the coppers who abuse their power it will force both people/cops to aknowledge each others power and treat each other with more respect for the fear of what the other will do. It might not be a right thing but if all petitions were denies and all protests were stepped on what else to do?
Why is our president committed to tie our country to this lunacy? Corruption, in this case, led to chaos. "Family values don't stop at the border" my ass. Liberals and party zombies need to see what Mexico is really about.
Because Bush is a Globalist by nature.
That's why I didn't vote for him. His second term hasn't even started, and he' already imposing his "mandate" upon us.
mandate - 1 : an authoritative command
When they get up here they rip off our system, and laugh at the stupid Gringos who are obviously impotent to stop it.
No wonder they have no respect for us or our law, and wave their Mexican flag in our face.
I guess it depends on the meaning of corruption - seems there is enough to go around the entire community; it is hardly limited to the police force.
Well the corruption is not new; but maybe now it is impacting the people in ways that are not acceptable.
There are other ways to make this an issue to be addressed; but it looks like a ugly slippery slope by whatever options might be chosen to protest. . .
I was wondering about this when I read the initial article.
In the town where this took place, a couple of kids had disappeared. The the police show up (supposedly investigating drug trafficking) and began taking pictures of students.
Now, I realize it could have been for identification purposes, but nowhere else did the article mention the school or students being suspected of involvement in the drug trade.
The police could have been there taking pictures of the students as a precursor to selling them in the slave market, a very profitable and viable business south of the border.
Understand, this is all conjecture on my part, but I've read articles on people in Mexico doing things that are just unfathomable to me.
That's the problem in Mexico --- every level is corrupt. You can get rid of the corrupt leaders in power now --- their replacements would also be corrupt.
It's a very well known fact that the police in Mexico participate in the kidnappings for ransom. Talk to any Mexican from the poor class --- which is most of them --- and ask them about this burning of police --- it might not be the reaction most Americans expect.
No --- that isn't gossip --- very often your stolen vehicle is being driven the next day by some son of a Mexican policeman or mayor.
In Ciudad Juarez it was the police who tortured and murdered and buried under some patio 13 members of an opposing drug cartel. Many believe the police have something to do with many of the rapes and murders of over 400 women and girls. And about a year ago 5 men were arrested for the kidnapping for ransom and murder of a little 9 year old boy --- one was a policeman --- the one that actually murdered him.

En alerta, miles vigilan rancho de Fox
Sorry --- it's in Spanish -- but very easy Spanish. Vicente Fox has 4000 police guarding his property (before the police burning incident). Apparently he's not so pro-open-borders when it comes to his own place. Apparently he doesn't believe these campesinos he fears would be so good for his own economy.
