Rosarito Police cars run out of gas... all of them.
With the crime rate doubling in Rosarito recently, isn't it reassuring to know all the police cars are parked because they have no money for gas?

Rosarito.-Desde anoche las unidades no han podido abastecer combustible en todo Rosarito y Primo Tapia porque no se ha pagado a la gasolinera donde
se abastecen, las unidades en Primo Tapia permanecen estacionadas afuera de la estación de policía. Esperando una nueva orden urge se tomen cartas en
el asunto. Toda vez que la ciudadanía ha quedado desprotegida por el descuido de algún funcionario.
Rosarito .- Since last night Rosarito and Primo Tapia patrol units have not been able to get fuel because the gas station supplier has not been paid.
The units remain stationed in Primo Tapia outside the police station. They are waiting for an urgent new order to take action on the matter. Meanwhile
the public has been deprived of protection by the carelessness of some official.

New Trucks
Ensenada PD received about 25-30 new trucks. Saw the auto transporters, 4 of 'em, pull up with new white 4 door pickups. Being outfitted and painted
at the GM dealer.

LMFAO!!!! No DENNIS, the police cars you see all over Mexico are not paid by you tru the Merida initiative. In fact, the merida initiative contributes
a ridiculous amount of money considering the size of the problem. Let me show you some facts:
Mexico spends nearly 20 billion dollars a year in security
US contributes about 400 million a year
So as you can see, maybe your money bought the pens and paper in those police cars, and nothing much.

Jesus! when will some people stop believing this fake dream. The US contributes 400 million a year to Mexico, and Mexico is a 1.2 trillion economy, do
the math?

Then why does the US need to contribute anything to Mexico?

Having up to date military and security forces costs a lot of money. We know that....only too well.
Are we being remiss in our responsibilities not banking the Mexican military as well as our own? It sounds like you feel we arn't doing enough.

Because the drug problem, is a multinational problem, the US has as much responsability as Mexico or Colombia in this matter. $400 million in mostly
programs and a few helicopters is pretty much nothing, so you should feel happy about that.

Off course your not doing enough.
"Much of the funding will never leave the United States. It will go toward the purchase of aircraft, surveillance software, and other goods and
services produced by U.S. private defense contractors. While this request includes equipment and training, it does not involve any cash transfers or
money to be provided directly to the Government of Mexico or its private contractors. According to U.S. State Department officials"
I think 400 million dollars is joke.

And this story is a blatant LIE! written by some corrupt journalist who is probably asking for money from the goverment, and not getting it.
The TRUTH is, the person in charge of paying suppliers for the Rosarito goverment, did not take into account that monday was a official day off in
Mexico. Banks and goverment offices where closed. The gas stations who supply the local police get paid on mondays, but that could't happen because
the banks where closed and some midlevel manager at the gas stations refused to refuel police cars for a few hours until the owner was contacted by
the goverment and the matter was cleared and cars got back on the street.
At no point did all of the police cars ran out of gas.

I grew up in west Tx. back when Diesel had next to no value lived in a major oil co camp of which my father was a employee. they pumped diesel in a
pit and burned it. diesel trucks hadn't became popular yet.
