Mexico: 5 slain police tried to extort suspects
Oh, the irony....
TOLUCA, Mexico - (AP) -- Mexican authorities say five police officers fatally shot near Mexico City after stopping a car were trying to extort money
when they were attacked.
Mexico State prosecutor Alfredo Castillo says the officers from the town of Ixtapaluca (Itz-tah-pah-lu-ca) asked the four La Familia Michoacana cartel
members in the vehicle for 6,000 pesos (about $460) to let them go.
Castillo quotes one of the four as saying they told the officers they had only 2,000 pesos and would have to get the rest from friends. He says the
suspects then sent a text message asking to be rescued. Several gunmen arrived and opened fire.
Castillo said Wednesday that one of the men in the car was killed and another is hospitalized with a head wound.

Looks like the cops picked on the wrong guys to shake down. Surprised it doesn't happen more often.

I had my paperwork in place, just in case!
Pulling my pickup out of the Sierra San Pedro Martir NP - 2002
Emigdio with my pickup
Dan with my new camp gear
Andrew (RIP) trying to drive my wounded pickup with dry transmission
Loading my pickup onto DESERT BULL'S borrowed flatbed trailer
Examining DESERT BULL'S borrowed flatbed trailer with some major damage! Ooops!
Paying off the locals to help make the trailer road-worthy again!:bounceRICELESS!

It's karma...but God is laughing.
It is the proper response. Someone wearing a gun asking for a bribe should be shot.

how do we know the news story is true? the cops are dead and the story told in news comes from drug cartel members...
one wonders if their are studies and statistics that document veracity of explanations given by cartel employees?

Good point, professor. Why don't you research that and report back to us. Or, do you just want to sit in the wagon while everybody else pulls?

There are hundreds killed in the USA also. Other countries have a kill rate too.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

vgabndo:
fulano/mengano/chucky is quite old and he does have disabilities so perhaps we should pick up the slack for him. you know we really should not expect
fulano to be able to keep up as he really is quite weak. i will accept the challenge to pull fulano's wagon:
I will pull it right down to the nursing home:
