At least 43 people died Friday in what authorities described as a fierce, three-hour gunbattle between federal forces and suspected drug gang gunmen on a ranch in western Mexico, the deadliest such confrontation in recent memory.
All the dead were suspected criminals except for one federal police officer, National Security Commissioner Monte Alejandro Rubido said. He said the officer died trying to help a colleague wounded in the shootout.

43 reminds me that there were 43 students/demonstrators last September in Mexico that went missing and are presumed to be dead.

“...the officer died trying to help a colleague wounded in the shootout.” Some doubt the lyin’ king could weigh in on this. If he had a hiss-panic cousin................

Impressive. I thought the cartels had bought all the cops in Mexico.

I love a happy ending. Sniffle. Better yet, "...many of suspects had been killed AFTER they surrendered."

Waiting for the liberal race baiters to compare Mexicans (since they love proclaiming “Mexican” is a race) with Baltimore rioters. Oh wait. The noble Mexican is above reproach.

The criminals must have not had any of the Fast and Furious assault weapons. So it wasn’t a fair fight.

druggies didn’t pay enough to the cops and the cops got pissed off.
