Mexico's President Says "Enough" to Drug Hitmen

Postby Balam99 on Fri, May 09 2008, 10:16 PM

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President Felipe Calderon said on Friday the country was sick and tired of rampant drug violence after five high-ranking policemen were killed in less than a week.

"We have to come together to confront this evil, we Mexicans have to definitively and categorically say, 'That's enough!'," Calderon said. "We can't accept this situation, we have to take back our streets."

He spoke after attending the funeral of regional commissioner Edgar Millan, one of Mexico's top federal policemen, who was murdered on Thursday by hired killers waiting for him at his home.

Calderon has deployed tens of thousands of soldiers and federal police around the country to bring powerful drug cartels under control, but the army has failed to reduce spiraling violence.

More than 2,500 people were killed in drug related violence in Mexico last year. Another 1,100 people have died so far this year as the drug gangs battle each other and security forces.

The Mexican media said Millan was targeted by professional killers hired by the powerful Sinaloa gang because of his leading role in the arrests of the cartel's gunmen.

"I know that organized criminals are reacting like this because they see that we hurting their operations and breaking down their structures," Calderon said on Friday.

[font=Comic Sans MS]It's icy when the police is being targeted, and murdered because of them trying to stop all that drug trafficing. They need to attack the drug cartel's when they're off guard with a lethal offensive attack at them. That is how they'll bring thier asses down.

More police around the area will do them good.

If you take a look how law enforcement is broken down in Mexico and how many agencies there is, then you can begin to understand why one agency will not allow another to take into custody someone from theirs. You can begin to undestand why a local citizen prefers to get torcido by a chota municipal instead of by a Pepo. You can begin to understand why a juda federal will shoot it out with a juda estatal. A policia ministerial works against la policia de la procuraduria general. You can see why a General will bring his troops in but all guns are pointed at them. There's no law, you can rake a whole crowd standing post in front of a tienda with cuernos de chivo and no one is gonna come look for you and put you before a judge. If they catch you on the spot is one thing, but if you got away, oh well, poof you're gone. So everybody packs, everybody is strapped, everybody needs to affiliate with someone, because that's the only potection and security that one can have, you must take sides, and if you don't play like that ~> keep your head down and mind your p's and q's por que no hay ley aqui en Mexico.

en mi opinion el presidente empeoro las cosas despues de haber mandado a la fuerza militar a combatir el narcotrafico en las noticias se puede ver como es que muchos de los soldados del army estan abusando de la gente en diferentes estados como en Michoacan, la ultima vez que vi las noticias una niña habia sido abusada sexualmente por un miembro del army, y una de las razones por la cual muchos de los policias son corruptos es por que la feria habla los narcotraficantes los tienen comprados tambien tiene comprados a varios soldados yo pienso que todo esto no estuviera pasando si el presidente no hubiera usado la fuerza del ejercito, no se escuchaba tanta violencia antes de que las fuerzas del ejercito Mexicano hubieran entrado en accion, no estoy tratando de defender a los narcotraficantes solo que esta es mi opinion y aldemas no hay manera de que puedan acabar con el narcotrafico los lideres de los carteles ya estan establecidos desde hace mucho tiempo, y si logran capturar a algun lider de un cartel en mexico lo dejaran libre por que la corrupcion esta por todos lados algun juez corrupto los dejara libres asta los senadores son corruptos, el narcotrafico nunca va acabar asi como "tepito" no hay forma de que acaben con el barrio de tepito no hay forma de que puedan acabar con todo ese desmadre en mexico, y ahora que recuerdo el año pasado habian capturado al lider del cartel de oaxaca mejor conocido como el cartel del itsmo y se me hace curioso por que ya de ahi no volvi a escuchar por cuanto tiempo iva estar en prision lo busque en internet y solo salieron resultados de que lo habian capturado en mi opinion ya esta libre pero nose talvez son ideas mias.
