I'm guessing that the federal police saw that the mafia was better outfitted than they were and said "yeah, gently caress this, I like my head and limbs exactly where they are."

There’s a video of the narcos going to a toll operated by the military. Dudes just shook the narcos’ hands and left.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
Ah, so they too read art of the deal

Ah. Well, that was my second assumption but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt.

The cartels also hire current and former military, and send their members to join the police/military to learn military tactics in addition to being inside guys.

It's impressive really.

There's some really awful tweets coming out of Sinaloa of massacred Mexican Federal Police and military. Really bad poo poo. Guys with multiple bullet wounds and a couple who were probably wounded and were shot execution style in the head.

I can't recall if it was this thread (in one of it's earlier iterations) or another GIP thread, but there was a discussion about Midway and a recommendation to read Shattered Sword. I finally sat down and read it, and it's reactivated my trap card for WW2 Pacific history.

So, with that in mind: THIS IS NEAT: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/rv-petrel-battle-midway-kaga-wreck-aircraft-carrier-ww2-paul-allen-a9161481.html
The Kaga, one of the four Japanese carriers sunk during Midway, was just discovered in (generally) one piece on the ocean floor. The final resting place of the other three Japanese carriers sunk at Midway, the Akagi, Hiryu, and Soryu, remain undiscovered.

I'm more surprised that doesn't happen more in the US, given how many people we've cycled through the forever wars. Ditto for how little judges and prosecutors are targeted when they give out multi decade sentences like candy.
