Good pictures Meatpie. The level of violence in Mexico's drug war is disturbing. There police need equipment that is better suited for the problem they are dealing with. Going after these heavily armed cartels in an unarmored truck is a suicide mission. Aren't there any smart people in Mexico who can design better weapons?
Not because this occurs north of the country, I live in the central part, in Mexico we are used to this and know that the government of my country is shit and is full of corruption.
This is what the Mexicans see every night on the news
The problem is that one of the proposals made by the current president is the fight against drug trafficking, these drug cartels are desperate and that makes them violent, create fear in the government and police of such acts. Mexico is a beautiful country and these problems are only between drug cartels are rarely fights where innocent civilians or people involved. It's a fight between Police - Government and bad people.
