Police in the Gulf port city of Veracruz were heavily infiltrated by criminal elements, mainly the deadly Zetas drug cartel, an armed forces official said on Thursday, leaving authorities no choice but to disband the force - Mexico's most dramatic step to date in battling corrupt cops.

It could take months to replace the 800 officers and 300 administrative employees who were dismissed on Wednesday, said the official, who could not be named for security reasons.

"It was a fairly high percentage of people infiltrated or in collusion," he said, though he did not mention specifics. He added that many were threatened into service of the drug cartels and had no choice.

About 800 marines, or navy infantry, will patrol the city of 700 000 in the meantime, the official said.

That's a good one, and what about the people who weren't in cahoots with the Zetas drug cartel? Of 800 people, surely it won't take long for the Zetas to corrupt a few marines or navy infantry.... and what happens when that occurs? Are they going to fire the entire militia and start over? 8)
 
If drugs were legalized, the cartels would have a severe drop in profits...I don't understand why more people don't understand this. They profit from drugs being illegal but that is their main source of income. I'm guessing they smuggle people and guns but it just seems like we knock a huge amount of money out of their hands and invest that in our economy in the form of tax dollars. I doubt it would "save" America like some people think but it would certainly help.

Yeah, and less people would need to buy guns as there would be no drug lords/dealers to buy illegal guns and kill each other.
 
^There would be no reason to HAVE the guns to begin with

if people can go buy cocaine from the store, why buy their shitty cut down Mexican levamisole-infested cocaine thats overpriced and leads to the deaths of thousands?


they will probably just find another way to make money though..
