MEXICO CITY – Acapulco authorities discovered the decapitated bodies of two police officers Thursday along with a chilling message from suspected drug traffickers operating in the resort: "So that you learn some respect."
"One of them was a police commander and the other an officer," a city spokesman said.
The spokesman said he could not confirm media reports that the two slain officers had participated in a shootout in January in which four suspected drug traffickers were killed.
The two officers' bodies found Thursday were dumped near the site of that shootout.
The handwritten sign demanding respect was taped to the building of a government office where the bodies were dumped.
Media reports said the two officers were kidnapped Wednesday.
Javier Trujillo, a reporter for the newspaper La Palabra, said a wave of attacks against police has followed January's shootout. He said Acapulco police have confirmed that the slain officers did participate in that clash.
"This is revenge from Los Pelones," he said, referring to the enforcement arm of the Sinaloa cartel. "This is part of the wave of killings that we had feared."

I see they're taking up the practices of the Religion of Peace.
Obviously sectarian violence, I say Mexico is in a civil war that we can't win.
More probably drug-smuggling related violence. Been going on since the 50s, IIRC, but getting a whole lot more open and worse. Or, could be people-smuggling related...
They sound like good candidates for the title "temporary guest workers".
That article is old news
And as Pete Sessions mentioned, Dallas is now the most prominent hub for Mexican drug trafficking in the U.S.
Just doing the jobs that most Americans won't do, I suppose.
