"...the release of the dramatic images comes less than three weeks before national and state elections in which security is a major issue."

This is why it’s such a good idea to promote diversity in our police forces, border patrol, military, and government offices.

To keep things like this from happening here.

Mexico has many good people who deserve a better government. Unfortunately, it also has many people who don’t want honest government or aren’t willing to work toward that goal, enough that they are stuck with what we are drifting toward. I hope we learn from them before we copy them completely.

When I first saw the movie "Man on Fire", I thought the plot was a bit of a stretch. Not anymore.

They say that many Mexican police,judges,prosecutors and other officials are given the choice of “silver or lead”...meaning “if you refuse our offer of bribes (silver) we’ll shoot you (lead)”.A pretty compelling offer,particularly in such a poor (and lawless) country.

This war on drugs has done far more damage to people than the drugs will ever do.
All it has given us is a police state, a thriving government market, and a risky but always thriving black market.
The war on drugs is a complete joke, except that there’s nothing funny about it.
Take away the incentive to meet a continuos demand for drugs and the cartels don’t exist anymore.
It’s not like they are smuggling beer across the border.
They can’t compete with Coors, etc.
I wonder how long it’s going to take for people to get it.
The war is a 100% failure. That is unless the objective was to militarize domestic law enforcement and create a police state.
