Number of Officers Killed in Mexico Border City Tops 100 as Drug War Drags On

Funny , when the Crime actually drops a little in Mexico , you always hear how things are not as bad as they really are .
Just because the Cartels have only killed 36 people over the course of a couple of weeks , when a few months earlier they were killing up to 49 in a day doesn't mean things are looking better .
102 police killed this year so far and 5 Mayors in the past few weeks , Sorry I will still never step foot in Mexico !

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico -- Mexican officials say a shooting attack has killed a policeman in the border city of Ciudad Juarez. The death raises the number of officers killed in the drug violence-plagued city this year to 102.

State prosecutors say Friday's attack on a police station also wounded two officers.

Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for Chihuahua state prosecutors, says attacks on law enforcement in Ciudad Juarez this year have killed 44 city officers, 21 state officers, 29 federal policemen, three transit officers, three prison officers and two investigators for prosecutors.

But the latest shooting also came as Mexico's government said organized crime-related killings have fallen so far in September compared to previous months. Government security spokesman Alejandro Poire said an average of 36 such killings were recorded in the first 24 days of September, compared to 49 killings a day in June and August
