Then there is this

In juxtaposition to the earlier post about people's march and their resistance to the police and security policies, the government does this.

from LAHT (full story)

Some 310,000 police from Mexico’s 31 states and the Federal District will stage next week the first-ever nationally coordinated operation against street crime, the National Conference of Governors said on Saturday......

Mexico has 427,354 police agents among its federal, state and municipal forces, of whom 45.87 percent are state troopers.

The governors’ initiative comes at a time when many representatives of civil society have stepped up their criticism of Mexico’s political class at all levels for the meager results it has obtained in fighting crime.

One of the strongest outcries against officialdom was the Caravan of Peace, an initiative led by poet Javier Sicilia who proclaimed on Friday in Ciudad Juarez – Mexico’s murder capital – a “national citizens’ pact” against the drug war, which has taken some 40,000 lives since the end of 2006.

I wonder what that day will be like.
