This is it.

SAN DIEGO – Mexican authorities are interviewing six people they believe are linked to or have information on this week's decapitation murders of three police officers and a civilian in Rosarito Beach, according to a news release from the Baja California Attorney General's Office.
Officers Ismael Arellano Torres, 36, JesDus HernDandez Ballesteros, 42, and BenjamDin FabiDan Ventura, 35, were killed after a large group of armed men surrounded their cars Tuesday night in a remote part of the city, about 15 miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border, authorities said.

The officers were responding to a report of a possible kidnapping.
The victims' mutilated bodies were found in an empty lot. Police later located the four heads in the border city of Tijuana, across from San Diego.

Experts said the attack bears the trademark of killings committed by increasingly violent drug cartels that are battling to control key smuggling routes.

“It's a disturbing manifestation of the latest drug war frenzy. The militarization of the drug war in many ways on the side of law enforcement has corresponded with the militarization of tactics and personnel on the criminal side,” said David Shirk, director of the Trans-Border Institute at the University of San Diego.

A witness told police that about 100 men, some wearing uniforms resembling those of Mexico's Federal Agency of Investigation, or AFI, were at the scene of the alleged kidnapping when the officers showed up, said a spokesman with the attorney general's office in the state of Baja California, where Rosarito is located. The person asked not to be identified because he is not allowed to publicly discuss the investigation.

The federal Attorney General's Office in Baja California said in a press release that none of its officers were involved in the disappearance of the four men. The office said it has opened an investigation to determine who the men impersonating AFI agents were.

The Rosarito killings are the latest in a series of attacks on law enforcement officials by suspected drug traffickers, who have formed large squads of heavily armed assailants.

Last month, three men armed with AK-47s burst into the Mexican federal attorney general's office in Tijuana and shot two agents, killing one.

In April, nearly two dozen heavily armed men tried to assassinate Baja California's top-ranking public safety official on a Mexicali street.

In December, gunmen attacked the Tijuana home of a state police commander and killed two of his bodyguards.

And in October, gunmen fired more than 50 bullets at the car of Tijuana's homicide chief in an unsuccessful assassination attempt

I knew I had to jump in and explain this rapidly misleading thread. I'd previously heard about beheadings too, but it was in Mexico and it was Mexican law enforcement, not U.S. Border Patrol. You can see how things can run rampant when we're all in a panic. Read the following article:

Policemen beheaded in Mexico border city of Tijuana

TIJUANA, Mexico, June 21 (Reuters) - Three police officers and a fourth man were decapitated in the drug-plagued Mexican city of Tijuana on the U.S. border, their heads and bodies dumped miles (km) apart, authorities said on Wednesday.

Police found the heads of three municipal policemen and a man identified only as a friend of one of the officers in plastic bags under a Tijuana bridge hours after their corpses turned up in the outlying district of Rosarito, said Jaime Niebla, a senior Tijuana police official. The city is near San Diego.

Rosarito's police chief, Valente Montijo, citing witnesses, said men in federal police uniforms attacked the victims.

The killings were the latest in a spate of police killings along the U.S. border in recent months. Officers often collude with drug traffickers, and shootouts between members of different police forces are common.

Drug violence has been rife along the border since President Vicente Fox declared "the mother of all battles" on drug cartels in January 2005 and sent hundreds of troops and federal police to border cities.

Yep, I remember this story. There have been a lot of decapitations and assassinations of law enforcement in Mexico and the rest of Central America. It is called Gang Rule. That is how most of the people in Mexico live... under the rule of Gangs not the cops.

That is our future in America if we fail to turn this thing around.

and coming to a neighbor hood near you if we don't close the borders.

I presume you mean cutting down drug consumption?

Rosarita is a tourist town less than an hours drive south of T.J. It's just north of Puerto Nuevo where you go for lobster dinners. Beautiful place.
It's not really a border town and it sounds as if it was local police. People used to refer to Mexican police in Baja as bandits with badges.

That would be just one more good result of a secure border....if we ever accomplish one!

Bull's-eye.

It never ceases to amaze me how ignorant of history so many people are.

The con-artists in the media, our Quislings who don't represent us, and all of the rancidly corrupt elite that run this country would have us believe that every Mexican national that crosses that border illegally is simply an industrious, peaceful fellow, who of course has a stained glass window of the Virgin of Guadelup in his window and prays every day, wanting to earn his living at the expense of the cruel, tight-fisted American taxpayer.

They fail to realize that the sick culture that was implanted in Latin America by the brutal Portuguese and Spaniard colonialists was less than a century removed from the Reconquista.

The reason that so many of the defects of Latin American nations resemble the defects of Middle Eastern Muslim nations is because they are the progeny-in a sense-of that region.

Machismo, blood debts-and as this latest gruesome case illustrates-ritual decapitations, everything is similar if not identical.

The Catholicism of Latin America is not the same Catholicism of Europe, post-Enlightenment, and post-Reformation.

You are so right and the scary part is it is already getting there. A simple review of your local county jail inmate list shows the story all to well. Attempted murder, Rape, Child molestation, burglary, armed robbery, drugs. Then it will show a no bail hold for being an illegal. This is a fight we cannot loose for the sake of our children and grand children. Of course this is something we all know or we would not be here. The trick is convincing the rest of the people to wake up.

I do agree that this is what will happen in our country if we do not stop this. In Mexico these crimes happen all the time and their law enforcement instead of stopping it are in on it with bribes and also participate in these crimes. We have to stop this invasion of our country now and secure our borders. God only knows how many of these people we have in our country now as our government surely does not and refuses to enforce our laws
