In a recent article written up on Salon.com, it appears that the Mexican Army as just arrested 29 (twenty-frikkin-nine!) POLICE OFFICERS in the northern state of Monterrey for alleged ties to the drug trafficers. A week ago, federal officials arrested 10 MAYORS and 20 other CITY OFFICIALS in the state of Michoacan, (just southeast of Jalisco) for alleged ties to drug trafficers, or, more specifically, for providing protection to said trafficers.
There were some local folks in Michoacan that beefed about the arrests, saying that they were really a political strategy to WEAKEN THE REPUTATIONS of those arrested's political parties, as national elections are scheduled for the first week in July.
And in Monterrey, there were some local folks (namely family members of the arrested policemen) that beefed about the army's INTERFERRENCE AND INTRUSION in so-called POLICE ACTIVITIES. (About this, I am NOT surprised.)
Mexico, I have some questions for you... Which police officers? Which police activities? And what reputation? What are you talking about? I have lived here for five years, and I have never witnessed any of these...
Get real.
