I don't believe it! Mexico police actually arrested some killers.
Mexico police arrest 5 in drug rehab executions

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico -- Police have arrested five men accused of dozens of murders, including two mass killings at drug treatment centers in this northern Mexico border city.

Police say the men were members of the Sinaloa cartel, a violent gang entrenched in a brutal turf war for control of drug routes to the United States.

The men are accused of 45 different executions in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico's most violent city. They were arrested by law enforcement agents during a routine street patrol, according to a statement released Friday by federal police.

(snip)

Police said with Friday's arrests, officials have accounted for 292 of the 1,720 murders in Ciudad Juarez so far this year.

1. It is somewhat surprising -
considering that the police are both outnumbered and outgunned by the cartels.

The real question is, however, will they ever see the inside of a courtroom? The judge who presides is going to need 24/7 protection, not to mention the prosecutor and jurors, and the police chief and arresting officers.
