Four Mexican Police Chiefs Are Assassinated, Milenio Reports

By Hugh Collins

Aug. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Four police chiefs were assassinated in Mexico yesterday, bringing the number of police killed this year to 270, Milenio reported.

Top police officials were slain in the state of Mexico, north of Mexico City; Chihuahua, near the U.S. border; Quintana Roo in the south of the country; and Michoacan, on the Pacific coast, the Mexico City-based daily reported, without saying where it got the information.

An additional 15 people were killed in the states of Chihuahua, Sinaloa and Mexico, the newspaper said.

Mexico's top police officers are being targeted and killed as drug traffickers retaliate for arrests and record seizures stemming from President Felipe Calderon's crackdown on narcotics gangs.

Think about those numbers of police that have been killed. We have the violence already showing up here in cities like Lilburn, GA with the recent kidnappings and many killings have to be drug related with ties to Mexican drug cartels.

When might the beheadings begin? Nothing holds these people back, they are willing to do whatever to whoever without restraint to protect their trade and the dollars. Life is disposable if it comes between these criminals and their profits. Once you cross this line, another body more or less, why should they care.
