Four Officers Killed, Three Wounded in Atacks by Drug Dealers

At approximately 1:00 AM Sunday morning, in Pabellòn de Artiaga (a small town about 30 miles from Aguascalientes) Chief of Police José Manuel Sanchez, Commander Ramón Esparza, Sub-director of Police Cristo Claudio Pascual, and Officer José Javier Badillo were having dinner when, according to witnesses, a dark colored Suburban pulled up in front of the restaurant. Six “sicarios” {assassins/shooters/employees of drug dealers}, armed with AK-47’s and AR-15’s opened fire on the restaurant killing Badillo. Pascual died in route to the hospital and Esparza shortly after arriving. Chief Sanchez remains alive but in guarded condition.
In Aguascalientes, about 50 minutes later, Commander Javier Salazar de Lira and Officers Francisco Martinez and Raùl Correa had just begun their shift. They were waiting at a traffic light just blocks from base {the police station} when a vehicle approached the intersection from the opposite direction at a high rate of speed. The car stopped in the intersection in front of the patrol car. Two sicarios got out with AK-47`s and empted them into the patrol car. Commander Salazar was killed instantly, Officer Martinez was able to radio base, report their location and request back up before losing consciousness.
Authorities said the incidents did not appear to be connected and were not in retaliation for the arrests of seven sicarios last week.

So, that makes 12 officers killed and 8 wounded in 9 months and all drug related but 1 (stolen car). Quite a record, don’t you think?

At least they were killed outright.

There have been several officers kidnapped, tortured and beheaded in Mexico.

What a shame that the world looses good men and women to scum. The sacrifice of these officers is recognized by law enforcement whatever their national origin.

Yes, I know. That's happening in the state where Acapulco is located. And not just several, a whole bunch. I don't remember the total number but I think it's around 9 or 10. The last was when sicarios walked into a small police station and shot everyone there including the secretary. The most grizzly was when the sicarios put 5 heads into a gunny sack, walked into a disco, fired off a couple of rounds from their AK-47s to get the attention of the patrons then tossed the heads out onto the dance floor. Sometimes they leave messages like they did when they put one head on a spike of the fence in front of the court house. The message said; "We don't kill women or children. We only kill those that deserve the death." Meaning LEO. The town of Tabasco, Zacatecas just north of Aguascalientes lost 5 officers in 7 days to "cop stalker sicarios". They would wait at stop lights until a patrol car came along and when it stopped they'd jump out, kill the officer and then disappear. It's pretty bad and it's pouring over the border into the US now.
