This has real potential ... NOT
Colombia to train Baja California state police
Submitted by WW4 Report on Fri, 06/05/2009 - 20:50.
Baja California Prosecutor General Rommel Moreno Manjarrez has announced that Colombian specialists will provide anti-kidnapping training to state law
enforcement officials. Members of the Colombian National Police were in Baja California this week to lay the groundwork for the training which will be
offered to 35 personnel attached to the state prosecutor general's office. Officers selected for the training will be vetted by the Colombians, Moreno
said.
The planned training grew out of a meeting between Moreno and Dr. Luis Camilo Osorio, Colombia's ambassador to Mexico, in Mexico City last month.
According to Moreno, trainers from the Gaula anti-kidnapping unit of the Colombian National Police will give instruction on operational tactics,
intelligence, police investigative techniques, and hostage negotiation. Moreno said fighting kidnapping is one of the priorities of the state
prosecutor general's office. Baja California's top law enforcement official said 78 kidnapping gangs have already been broken up in the border state.
In one of the latest incidents, Moreno reported that radiologist Heriberto Valenzuela Vadillo was freed on the morning of June 3 after spending five
days in captivity.
The Baja California-Colombia anti-kidnapping agreement is similar to an accord reached between Colombia and Chihuahua state last month. Colombian
trainers also from the Gaula unit are expected to arrive in Chihuahua this month.
The growing Mexico-Colombia police training agreements are beginning to draw critical comments in Mexico. "Colombian paramilitaries arrived in
Mexico," wrote Leticia Castro on the daily La Jornada's web site. "Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are."
Another writer, identified only as Alejandro G., wrote: "The Colombian and Mexican police are among the most corrupt in the world...the relationship
of two corrupt police forces is being promoted by the Mexican state. The creation of a new cartel?" (Frontera NorteSur, June 3

Why not post something new, this has already been posted. I guess if its something negative you just have to post.

You would think now that Ron is back in the "Good ole USA" as he puts it, he would have something better to do with his time. Apparently, he gets his
jollies by surfing for negative Mexico news and posting it here.
I thought his intention was to leave the horrors he experienced in Baja Sur and never look back. 
I have a feeling this man hasn't been laid since the Johnson Administration.

If Colombia's involved then cocaine will be cheaper. This is good news.

The good thing about Mexico is that the average age in the country is 18 years old. In the U.S. it is 48.
The young Mexicans are more educated than they have ever been before. They have different beliefs and values and they are working towards a better
future for themselves and their country.
They are bringing in new legislation, new infrastructure, new technology, fiber optics, telecommunications - Mexico has a bright future.
I am glad I live here.

Hey RON
Here's some good news for you, did you see that Las Vegas has the lowest real estate prices in the USA due to the highest number of foreclosures? Its
big news for buyers, perhaps like you. You can buy a house for as low as $25k and live there happily forever and ever.

Ron, You won't be very effective doing that on this board. And so many of us would be happy not to come across your negative same ol' stuff. I think
there is an audience somewhere that would appreciate hearing what you have to say. Why don't you go look for it?

I have a 20 year old nephew in college in TJ and he feels exactly the same way. He has no desire to go to the USA when there is so much opportunity
here. He currently works part-time doing powerpoint presentations at secondary schools recruiting for his college and speaking on the value of
continuing their education. He says almost all the students at his level, and the ones he gives recruiting presentation to, are almost all female. I
think the USA has more women than men enrolled in college- but not as slanted.
So you are far from being alone.

Wow. A positive post from Whoooosh
And I believe BMG hit the nail on the head. As far as I know, CaboRon was a renter. His investment was time.

Baja Norte state police is corrupt to the bone. The state would be much better off locking them everyday in a room with full pay, food, and cable TV,
and off course, no phones and internet, than letting them out on the street working hard for the cartel.
Learning from Colombians? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As if training is the reason why the Police fails.

Ron, from what I can tell, you came to Mexico with an illusion, failed to assimilate into the local
environment, and left embittered.
That's not uncommon, I've battled personally with culture shock throughout some 20 years in Latin America; it's stressful and for many, not worth it.
I still occasionally have moments where I want to throw my hands up and go open an appliance store in the middle of Kansas.
But some friendly advice after over a year of observing your encounters with this strange land: LET IT GO, man-- you had some interesting experiences
down here but now it's time to focus on being where you ARE NOW and put your energy where it can help you integrate into your current environment and
pursue happiness THERE.
Saludos-- Larry |
Even us that are Mexicans and come from other states, find it difficult to assimilate here.

On-Duty Police in Torreon can no longer carry personal cell phones (sorry- still totally corrupt in TJ).
My family is from Torreon and the city is being shaken hard by the violence we are already used to in TJ. I have two nephews in hiding from the zetas
there and am trying to get them here for their safety (and becasue bus fare is cheaper than funerals).

Jesse does make a valid observation. Baja is different from mainland Mexico. Mostly a result of it having been an ignored backwater for so long. Even
the Mexican government tried to sell it to the US.
As for Woooosh's posted link, maybe the government should disarm all police, issue batons and have them limited to directing traffic and helping lost
children. Looks like the army is going to be the real police force, anyway. Just don't know how they can keep going into areas, round up the police,
then put them back on the street. Merely an intimidation tactic?

You are talking about his quest for a clean bathroom in a restaurant, aren't you?
The horror.....................the horror...............
So, Cabron has a new campaign to occupy his time? I have the perfect campaign button for him.
