Capital to disband judicial police force
THE NEWS
The Monday announcement to disband Mexico City's judicial police force and implement 20 new measures to improve security and policing was met with
approval from the federal government, but human rights activists and analysts expressed skepticism over whether the moves would be enough.
Mexico City Human Rights Commissioner Emilio Alvarez Icaza told reporters that Mayor Marcelo Ebrard must focus on real changes within the judicial
police and law enforcement in general, rather than just replacing "names."
His comments echoed those of analysts who have expressed skepticism over the changes implemented in Mexico City since the News Divine nightclub
tragedy on June 20.
During a botched police raid on the club in a northern borough of Mexico City, 12 people died due to bad policing and poor communication and planning.
Since the raid on the News Divine club, Mexico City's two top cops have resigned, and dozens more have followed them out the door.
Ebrard, meanwhile, has continually reiterated promises that he will make whatever changes to the force are deemed necessary in light of what happened,
as has the city's new attorney general, Miguel Angel Mancera.
But while Interior Secretary Juan Camilo Mouriño on Monday praised the disbanding of the capital's judicial force and Ebrard's overall efforts, and
Calderón also pledged that the federal government will do all it can to help local and state police force's clean themselves up, analysts side with
Alvarez Icaza in expressing uncertainty over the chances of actually overhauling the nation's and the capital's police.
"The police - in whatever configuration - are corrupt to the core," said U.S.-based Mexico expert George Grayson, echoing the sentiments of a majority
of Mexicans who when polled, consistently place the police as one of the least trustworthy institutions in the country.
"The problem is that our allies, on occasion, play on the side of crime," said Alvarez Icaza on Monday. "Many civil servants do this."

Jack, does this little info piece expand your signature line "take what you can, give nothing back" ? Want to elaborate, give us more information we
need or are you just another pot stirrer?.

All the postivie changes are happening, but not for us in Baja. No anti-kidnapping centers, no judicial disbanding. The people in Mexico City are
fed up, demanded change, and got something to move a little (although I'm not sure what). In Baja- we get Peace, love, fish tacos, kidnappings and
extortions. As much as I love fish tacos- they are hard to eat when wrapped in duct tape. When will the Mexican people here demand change?
Today the police and Army blocked off downtown TJ for three hours while they inspected farmacias for expired drugs, counterfeit drugs and dispensing
of drugs without a prescription. Maybe they could have used that time better.

stirred up, then so be it.

We just spent a few days trying to sort out "the trouble with news from the trouble with newsmakers". It's kind of complicated. Some of us are hoping
some new Bahaphiles/Nomads would now tone it down, spread it out, make things a nice soft color -- anything but blood red. Podna, if you lived
anywhere around these parts you would kick back, celebrate and zip it.

Keep posting the real news of Mexico and ignore the whining of the tired , jaded and head in the sand members here.
They already try to control all other threads on this board with their obtuse attitude.
I want the truth. Do not give me B$
