Mexican cartel violence against the police in Mexico has been a persistent and deadly issue for many years. These violent encounters involve drug cartels and law enforcement agencies, including federal, state, and local police.



Here's a summary of the situation:
  1. Background: Mexican drug cartels are powerful criminal organizations involved in drug trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, and other illegal activities. They often operate with a high degree of violence and have significant financial resources.
  2. Targets: Cartels view law enforcement agencies as a significant threat to their operations. As a result, they frequently target police officers, police stations, and other law enforcement personnel. This includes municipal, state, and federal police, as well as members of the military who are involved in combating drug cartels.
  3. Violence: Cartels employ various tactics to attack the police, including ambushes, assassinations, and shootouts. They may also use explosives and heavy weaponry to overwhelm law enforcement.
  4. Intimidation and Corruption: Cartels often attempt to intimidate or bribe police officers to gain their cooperation or silence. Corruption within law enforcement agencies is a significant issue in some areas of Mexico, making it easier for cartels to operate with relative impunity.
  5. Impact: The violence against police in Mexico has had a profound impact on law enforcement agencies' ability to maintain order and combat organized crime. Many officers live in constant fear for their lives, leading to attrition and low morale.
  6. Civilian Impact: Cartel violence against police not only affects law enforcement but also has significant collateral damage. Innocent civilians are often caught in the crossfire, leading to high casualties among the general population.
  7. Government Response: The Mexican government has launched various initiatives to combat cartel violence, but results have been mixed. These initiatives have included deploying military forces, creating specialized police units, and promoting cooperation between various law enforcement agencies.
  8. Regional Variations: The intensity of cartel violence against police varies across different regions of Mexico, with some areas experiencing more significant challenges than others. Northern states, such as Sinaloa, Chihuahua, and Tamaulipas, have been particularly affected.
  9. International Implications: Mexican cartel violence has had international implications, as drug trafficking and organized crime networks extend into the United States and beyond. The U.S. and Mexico have worked together on various initiatives to combat drug cartels and reduce violence.


As the cartels continue to battle for dominance, the death toll amongst Mexican police officers and officials continues to rise.

In this episode we dive into the latest carnage in Mexico, which saw thirteen police officers and police officials get gunned down in an ambush in the ultra violent state of Guerrero.
