Mexican vigilantes disarm corrupt local police
« on: January 06, 2014, 09:35:39 PM »
This is not the first such vigilante action I've heard of in Mexico.  Local people formed their own unofficial constabulary and forcibly disarmed police, who they accuse of being in league with area drug cartels.

But yeah, that sort of thing can never happen here right?  I bet the corrupt policia in Mexico thought that too.

Note a difference here?

Not hearing any criticizing the likes of which people like the Minutemen here had to endure!

Need more of this, not less, and in this country!
