21 Police Arrested in TJ on Tuesday

Tuesday, 21 police were arrested in the northern border city of
Tijuana on suspicion of working with criminal gangs, said Rommel
Moreno, attorney general of Baja California state, where Tijuana is
located. Two of the officers were state police and the rest came from
municipal ranks, Moreno said.

Moreno declined to release further details of the case to avoid
compromising the investigation.

Police corruption is a key impediment to Mexico's efforts to root out
drug gangs and other criminal groups.

More than 4,000 people have been killed across the country this year
as cartels battle for drug routes and lash back at President Felipe
Calderon's national crackdown on organized crime.

On Tuesday, the body of a 28-year-old man was dumped in an empty lot
in the beach resort of Rosarito, outside Tijuana. The victim was
still carrying a loaded gun.

The cops are arresting each other and the bad guys are killing each other. Makes Mexican sense to me. Things are shaping up!

I'm having a hard time renting a condo because of all of this. I think I'll raise the rent. :tumble:

Squatters are showing up in droves- they just took over a house near me. Be careful how long you leave your property empty or you may have new tenants with no rent next time you visit it. I actually had a lady ask me about her family taking over a vacant house nearby- no shame in being poor in Mexico.
