cartels...just police her town.

I am fairly sure the one killed this week was a 28 year old Mayor, the lady in this thread is a younger-still Police Chief. Sorry- can't find the
link.

The story is under the heading ....soldiers find 18 bodies. Dec. 1.
Reading this again there are two women with the name Garcia mentioned. Maybe it was the older one shot dead. Sort of confusing the way it is
written(for me anyway).

The one recently killed was Police Chief Hermila Garcia in the town of Meoqui.
The young lady of this thread is Marisol Valles Garcia of the town Praxedis G. Guerrero, who is still alive and well, apparently.

I don't think it was Marisol who was whacked. I think the cartels no longer differentiate between male and female for their hits. TJ for the longest
time a female prosecutor and never had a problem. One prosecutor did get whacked in Mazatlan recently:
A chief prosecutor for the Attorney General’s Office in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, murdered
Posted by nicoleramos on November 30, 2010
11/30/10 – The chief prosecutor of the Preliminary Investigations Department for the State Attorney General’s office (Averiguaciones Previas de la
Procuraduría de Justicia del Estado), Dolores Guadalupe Guzmán Ramírez, was murdered while driving toward her office in the administrative unit of the
Attorney General’s Office.
She was driving a gray Ram truck when two individuals on a yellow sports motorcycle shot her to death at the intersection of Ejército Mexicano and Los
Deportes. Authorities and medics arrived at the scene shortly after 18:40 hours when the gunfire had been reported, but Ramírez was already dead.
Ramírez had been serving as the head of the agency’s auto theft department, as well as the head of the homicide department.

Female Police Chief Murdered in Mexico
Posted by Susana Seijas 45 comments .
Mexican federal police officers man a roadblock in the town of Meoqui, state of Chihuahua, northern Mexico, Monday Nov. 29, 2010 after the police
chief of the town was gunned down.
(Credit: AP Photo) Hermila Garcia, 38, was shot on her way to work Monday by a convoy of gunmen. Garcia, a trained lawyer, took the job as police
chief on Oct. 9 in the town of Meoqui, in drug violence-ridden Chihuahua state.
The assailants intercepted her in the town of Los Garcia, some 10 kilometers from Meoqui around 7:20 a.m. Monday. Garcia was in charge of up to 90
police agents in a mostly agricultural region of the Chihuahua state, some 70 kilometers south of Chihuahua City, the capital of the state.
"La Jefa," as she was known to her police agents, didn't carry weapons or have bodyguards.
"If you don't owe anything, you don't fear anything," she was fond of saying when asked why she didn't have security.
Mexican media reported that Garcia was single and lived with her parents, whom she supported financially.
Mexico's drug violence has claimed almost 30,000 lives since President Felipe Calderon took office in late 2006 and sent about 45,000 soldiers to
fight the powerful drug cartels. In recent months, Meoqui had started to see some of this violence. A once peaceful town, the drug violence-related
death tally has shot up to 40 deaths so far this year. Normally that death count would account for homicides over seven years.
Policing has become a job so dangerous that men are now shying away from such posts. Just last month, 20-year old mother and student Marisol Valles
was appointed chief of police in Praxedis, in the Juarez valley, a key drug smuggling route just across the border from Texas also in Chihuahua state.
Why did a 20-year-old mother accept the position? No one else would. Her predecessor was kidnapped more than a year ago. His head was deposited
outside the police station a few days after he disappeared. After that, no one came forward to fill the police chief vacancy for more than a year --
until Valles was appointed top cop by the town's mayor.
Other women who have taken top policing jobs because no men would include two housewives: Ver?nica R?os Ontiveros and Olga Herrera Castillo, who took
over policing jobs in El Vergel and Villa de Luz, both in Juarez, now known as the "murder capital" of the world due to its high murder rate. The
Juarez valley has had more than 2,700 drug violence-related deaths this year.

Jeez! Mexico is going down the tubes in a narco bloodbath and everybody's acting like nothing is happening. Legalize pot and put troops on the border
under rules of engagement that includes deadly force. We'd being doing Mexico a favor.
