Mexico arrests mayors, police chiefs in drug war

Excellent ! Mexicos Government and Police force along with the Military have been Crooked for a long time , It is Hilarious to see these public officials rounded up like common criminals !

MORELIA, Mexico (Reuters) - Mexican troops rounded up 10 mayors and
a string of police chiefs on Tuesday suspected of links to drug gangs
in a western state, one of the biggest single corruption sweeps in the
government's drug war.

Soldiers burst into police stations and town halls to arrest 27
public officials in Michoacan, the home state of President Felipe
Calderon and the place he launched his army-led assault on drug cartels
in late 2006.
The officials included a judge and a former police chief who is an
aide to the state governor. The attorney general's office said all were
suspected of links to drug smugglers.

Local officials and police are often bribed or terrorized into
helping the well-armed gangs that move billions of dollars of narcotics
into the United States every year.
The town of Uruapan, where the mayor was arrested on Tuesday, made
headlines early in the drug war in 2006 when hitmen dumped five human
heads on the dance floor of a bar.
