The police force of the once-glittering Mexican resort town of Acapulco
has been disarmed as authorities investigate claims that local cops have
strong ties to warring drug cartels in the region.
Officials in the southern state of Guerrero claim the drug cartels Beltran Leyva and Independent of Acapulco have infiltrated the local police force.
Two top Acapulco police commanders were arrested and accused of homicide,
El Universal reported.
The chief of Acapulco’s highway police was also detained after he was
allegedly found carrying unlicensed weapons.

The state government said it took these steps “because of suspicion that
the force had been infiltrated by criminal groups” and “the complete
inaction of the municipal police in fighting the crime wave.”
On Tuesday, military and federal law enforcement forces took over control
of security of the seaside city of 800,000 residents, El Universal
reported.
More than 700 cops were stripped of their guns, radios and bullet-proof
vests. They were then taken for background checks.
The U.S. Embassy in Mexico confirmed the operation, saying that “armed
forces have disarmed the municipal police and have taken over law
enforcement responsibilities for the municipality until further notice.”

The embassy then repeated its travel alert advising U.S. citizens not to
travel in Guerrero state due to the armed groups that are active in the
region.
Acapulco, once one of the country’s preeminent tourist hotspots famous as
a favorite haunt among movies stars in the 1960s, has turned into one of Mexico’s most dangerous cities with dead bodies being hung from bridges
and human heads being left in coolers outside city hall.
Mexico’s drug war, which began in earnest in 2006 when then-President
Felipe Calderon declared an all-out military offensive on the country’s narcotraffickers, has left more than 200,000 dead.
In Acapulco alone, the homicide rate last year was 103 per 100,000
habitants – one of the highest in Mexico and the world. The situation is
so dire that in May, clowns marched demanding an end to the city’s crime
wave, saying they were losing business because residents no longer threw parties out of fear of becoming targets, the BBC reported.
Paramedics also told the BBC that they are struggling to deal with the
amount of violence they see as part of their jobs.
US and Mexico team up against drug cartelsVideo
Local police in several parts of Mexico have been disbanded because they
were corrupted by drug cartels. In Guerrero alone, local police have been disarmed in more than a dozen towns and cities since 2014, though none as
large as Acapulco.
In the northern state of Tamaulipas, one of the hardest hit by drug
violence, almost all local police forces state-wide have been disbanded
since 2011.
Local police in Mexico are easy prey for drug cartels, which offer them
more money if they agree to obey gang leaders, or threaten to kill them if
they don’t.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
