CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico — Drug cartels are sending a brutal message to police and soldiers in cities across Mexico: Join us or die.
The threat appears in recruiting banners hung across roadsides and in publicly posted death lists. Cops get warnings over their two-way radios. At least four high-ranking police officials were gunned down this month, including Mexico's acting federal police chief.
Mexico has battled for years to clean up its security forces and win them the public's respect. But Mexicans generally assume police and even soldiers are corrupt until proven otherwise, and the honest ones lack resources, training and the assurance that their colleagues are watching their backs. Here, the taboo on cop-killing familiar to Americans seems hardly to apply.
Police who take on the cartels feel isolated and vulnerable when they become targets, as did 22 commanders in the border city of Ciudad Juarez when drug traffickers named them on a handwritten death list left at a monument to fallen police this year. It was addressed to "those who still don't believe" in the power of the cartels.

And Special Order Forty will protect the criminals more than it will protect any US citizen.
It is like the authorities who pushed and called for that insanity, want American citizens to die.
“Drug Cartels to Mexican Police: ‘Join Us or Die’”
Not a far stretch to “Radical Islam to the rest of us: Join us or Die”
Mexico is our Palestine. The Cartels own the I-5 west coast corridor already. Not to mention the S.W.
...
Yeah, but, we have Bush and Chertoff to protect the Homeland...
Merely propaganda.. The Mexican govt has been penerated by the drug cartels for decades.. The Mexican govt “IS” the Drug cartels ALREADY.. The question is how much of the American federal govt they own NOW... and How much does an American President COST???..
Bush, McCain and the Republican leadership are busily trying to import this into the US.
This is what the illegals are bringing to U.S.
Not true. They may won the southern part of the state but Northern Ca and most of Oregon are as rural as Wyoming and just as well armed. The CHP’s make major drug busts alone I-5 all the time without any exchange of gunfire. The local S O's dearly love to raid the pot gardens and chase the Mexican nationals to ground.
I think you have us confused with the unarned socialist run cities of southern ca.
The trick isn't to shoot back.
The trick is to see the threat and shoot first.
You mean there are still some holdouts that have not already joined?

Let's start with the MOABs, and build the wall later.
they already own Los Angeles, and many other sanctuary cities.
