“Bad cops are a mounting problem”????
HA!
My Grandparents quit going there in the 60’s because of the police corruption.

You can tell who are the honest cops in Mexico. They get gunned down.

typically a liberal media approach and excuse. Like all of a sudden corrupt police are the problem? If it wasn't for the corrupt cops 40 years ago it wouldn't be a problem now pinheads. Gawd, liberals are stuck on stupid.

corruption in Latin and South America like Africa is outrageously high and always has been
unfortunately, that corruption problem has now crossed into the USA and our own country is ranked pretty high itself in corruption problems.

La mordida. Its as old as Mexico. Without graft, nothing works.

Ramirez was paid $450,000 a month. How many of you could withstand a carrot that shiny?
I can’t swear that I could. 6 million a year is awful damn tempting!

Mexican officials are poorly paid. Its taken for granted they need something under the table to make ends meet. Corruption in Mexico is like the weather. People accept it as a fact of life and as what's necessary to make an inept system run.

I lived in Mexico and remember the Chief of Police for Mexico City earned about $10,000.00/year, and when he retired three years later, he sold his home for over $1.8
million.

Perhaps if they were paid better it might cut down on some of the corruption but there’s no guarantees for that either.
NYC’s cops certainly got sucked into the dirty life back in the 70’s.

It must be especially gratifying to look at your dad or husband and be able to say, “Yup, he’s a successful criminal.”

The United States is now the most corrupt nation in the world.
When one compromises ones soul, one is beyond corruption.

And yet we can’t get a Free Trade agreement with the successful NarcoTerror fighting allies in Columbia but bend over backwords for the NarcoTerror Government of Mexi-fascism, showering $$’s on them to fight corruption. Thanks GWB, McCain and the rest of the Liberal Guv!

Mexico is the sewer of North America. Time to flush it!

No crap! The only higher person is the...President! And he might be in on it too!
To: G Larry
I used to visit Mexico in the 60's as well. Driving south from the border on one adventure we were stopped at several points by the Federales who politely extracted "el tippo" and allowed us to proceed peacefully to Guaymas.
I guess we were lucky, they weren't into kidnapping and murder back then.

Ramirez was paid $450,000 a month. How many of you could withstand a carrot that shiny?According to the WSJ his immediate predecessor couldn't resist either. He was busted for corruption as well. Good luck to the next guy.

That’s one of those jobs that I would smile and refuse to accept while patting myself on the back for showing wisdom beyond my years. Nope, $6M a year is too tempting. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere close to it.
