It sounds like a well armed militia, if not a Well Regulated Militia, to me. |

J.J.
It appears as Kai has introduced, a situation of the residence forming their own protection in the form of a local militia. With the area both local and regional, the area is comprised of for the most part, very poor people. Often, these people live in the shadow of threats and human vultures that take what they wish and repay with humiliation and acts of violence to any that resist.
Mexico is a republic of variable qualities of living standards. A few have the training and education to rise above the many in most aspects we see as success. It is little different in the various police units that comprise police services.
Within the more prosperous cities, will be the professional police personnel, they have the best training with the back up necessary to meet the requirements of competency.
As moving out ward from these cities, the quality of police personnel drops into the rural areas of lesser quality of intrinsic resources of the area. In these areas that are representative of this area in question. The Police units are with limited resources in salaries, equipment and training. With this, the lack of responsive back up with individual protection to the officers and personnel that comprises the individual municipal departments.
In this manner, most of these officers have families and related debts that are Germaine to most all families. With this, is the vulnerability to the officers by virtue of threats of harm against them selves and their families.
For the most part, most of these police personnel are afforded good training for their work, and are honest with dedication to their work and to the people. A few though, have succumbed by what ever reason[s} to partake in easy money to wash out what ever crime that has brought to them by assignment or patrol discovery.
Once the few begin to stray from the straight line, it becomes a cancer to the entire office in affects to the individual officer then to the commanders and to civilian authority.
Most all instances of corruption begins innocently with a free coffee, a cigarette, a paper to money, and/or worse.
It is then as this case indicates, the cancer of corruption has engulfed the entire Police unit either from up to down level of the beat police man/women, or from the bottom to the top level of management.
In this case, the people as residence, have gotten sick and tired of the run away crime and have formed their own policing force in taking matters in their own hands. A very dangerous situation to both the individuals involved and to the residences of the area.
Generally, crime gangs keep their operations only up to a point of controlling police actions to only specific areas of their concern. In this case, it appears these criminal gangs have pushed to hard and too far with resulting organized civil action.
Once this has reached the point as indicated with the entire police force placed in to a position of compromised ineffectiveness. Then it will be the Federal Police to step in with military control of the effected area to contain the situation, weed through the silence of the individual civil population ,develop a net of information, then the arrest will begin of suspects.
Once control has been restored, then replacement police personnel will be obtained and the department restored to duty as formally inplaced.
The process of resolution takes time with public confidence to be restored, in as well of the mechanics of rebuilding into the former expectations of a viable police department providing services to the community they serve.
Very few enjoy the intervention of Federal Police into an area of such stress. For the units are not kind and with this, very effective in manners of bringing quickly the matters of resolution.
For to the government, these matters bring about a great deal of expense against the operating budget in both man power, equipment use, weapons, ammunition and, over time hazardous salaries to members of the responding units.
I do hope with trust, the above has at least provided some light upon this situation of question.

This situation reminds me more of my dream last night than a reality.

Kai & Karl,
You gentlemen are correct.
Mexican People forming Militias to Arrest corrupt officials!!
On Monday March 25th volunteer community forces took control of a town on a highway in the state of Guerrero, Mexico. Numbering in the hundreds, they arrested local police officers and searched homes after one of their leaders was killed.

The self-described “community police” were stopping traffic Wednesday at improvised checkpoints in the town of Tierra Colorado. The Associated Press reported that several of these men opened fire on a car headed to the beach. They arrested 12 police and the former director of public security in response to the slain leader.
Corruption and violence have run rampant while the Mexican government has struggled to come up with solutions.
The President of Mexico, Enrique Pena Nieto, has promised to focus more on the robberies, extortion and violence that affect ordinary Mexicans. While the government is attempting to focus on local policing matter, the citizens are not sitting around waiting for help.
In El Mezon, a Mixtec indigenous village75 miles northeast of Acapulco, the people have taken to creating their own community protection. In an article on the GlobalPost, Evert Castro, a municipal councilman ,says:
“The federal and state governments haven’t been able to do anything, And we don’t have the capacity to fight these criminals. So the people got tired and decided to act on their own. We see this as a good thing.”
The Tlachinollan human rights organization spoke positively of the rise in community protection agencies. According to the groups website, “The justice system is neither efficient nor trustworthy. This is one of the fundamental reasons why the strategy against organized crime has failed.”
The Tlachinollan continues:
“Today the organized people of the Costa Chica realized that the security forces and justice organs don’t do their job but on the contrary collaborate with the organized criminal bands. For that reason [the people] have decided to provide security and justice according to their own systems.”
The founder of one of the community forces, Placido Vaerio weighs in on the farmers situation, “We are going back to the fields but we are not going to give up our weapons. We are going to start building a system of justice.”
These types of situations are likely to increase, not only in Mexico but in the European Union where the economy continues to tumble. Whether it be Cyprus, Spain, Greece, or Mexico the formula will be the same.
