Mexican Police Death Rate

According to a report in La Cronica de Hoy, Mexican police officers are being killed at a rate of more than one a day. Specifically, data indicate that 20 officers were murdered in the first 17 days of 2008.

The murdered policemen were largely victims of organized crime groups, narco-traffickers.

It's inexcusable that these daily tragedies are not being reported, much less emphasized, by the American mainstream media. We've got a full-blown shooting war occurring on our southern border while the majority of the American public is kept unaware.
