Entire police force quits in Mexican town of Ascension

Entire police force quits in Mexican town of Ascension August 4, 2011 - Associated Press
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico — An entire 26-man police force resigned in a northern Mexican town after a series of attacks that killed the police chief and five officers over the last three months, state officials said Thursday.
The officers’ resignation Thursday left the 13,000 people of Ascension without local police services, Chihuahua state chief prosecutor Carlos Manuel Salas said. State and federal police have moved in to take over police work, he said.
The mass resignation appeared to be connected to a Tuesday attack by gunmen that killed three of the town’s officers, Salas said.
But it wasn’t the first deadly attack on the police department this year.
In mid-May, police chief Manuel Martinez, who had been in office just seven months, was gunned down with two other officers on a nearby highway. The three had been kidnapped a day before police found their bodies riddled with bullets in the back seat of a sedan.
The town’s police force was relatively new.
Angry residents had led authorities to replace the entire force last September after the mob killings of two teenagers who had allegedly kidnapped a girl from a seafood restaurant. People claimed police officers were aiding drug gangs.
Martinez, with his new police force, had said he wanted to end the kidnappings and extortions that have terrorized the town where people grow green chili and cotton.
The new police in Ascension had installed a telescopic camera in the town’s plaza that rotated, giving officers at the station the ability to zoom on a site as far as the outskirts of town.
In addition, townspeople helped police dig a broad ditch around the town to prevent criminals from escaping on back roads.
Ascension is southwest of Ciudad Juarez, the border city across from El Paso, that is one of Mexico’s most violent cities. The state of Chihuahua has had the most homicides blamed on organized crime and drug trafficking since the government’s anti-drug offensive began in December 2006.

These cartels would never have been a reality if it wasn't for the war against people. Oh wait, war on drugs. Which means war on people that use drugs. So yeah. War on people.

I'm sure you'd make more money and have more protection working for the cartel than you would the PD.

At this rate the cartels will end up as the Mexican Government government. Shit, who am I kidding, they already are.

Yeah my question is if this ditch prevents criminals from escaping the town, wouldn't it also prevent the residents of the town from leaving? That seems kinda fucked up...Something not right there. An entire police force resigns and is replaced by another police force that puts in crazy hi-tech cameras and has the townspeople dig a huge ditch around the town to "prevent criminals from escaping"

This is where we need to send the battle tested troops that are coming back at the end of this year. Helping Mexico will help America too.
If shit gets tough in a few years, the Yucatan has some of the largest reserves of fresh water in the world. America would do well to be allied with Mexico.
Also, take down the stupid fucking border fence. Did we seriously just fence in refugees to be slaughtered? Why does mankind need A HUGE FUCKING WALL? SERIOUSLY? Tear it down in Berlin, bring it over here... I thought the iron curtain was to rusty too be drawn again. Stupid fucks I hope you get tetanus of the soul.

Could be more to this story than meets the eye. Perhaps the police force had so much corruption that some good citizens took it upon themselves to get involved with some affirmative action to clean up the police force.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if average American citizens could employ similar civil tactics to rid its own government systems of corruption.
