Surprised to read 2d article In as many days reporting civil war spiraling out of control in Mexico...generally conspiracy of silence in media to cover up true situation south of border. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/crisis-paradise-mexican-tourist-mecca-descends-chaos-cartels-wage-war-during-spring The police in Mexico generally get paid by one cartel or another which is why they are getting ambushed and killed...cartels offer police plata o plomo and police always take the cartels money but end up getting the lead eventually too when a different cartel start to muscle in on the plaza. Want to understand how brutal this war is and how little human life is worth in mexico? check out the reports on what Mencho did to El Cholo when his sicarios got hold of ElCholo about ten days ago...just google el cholo narco muerto.
