actual news.
The entire police force in the state of Morelos, in Mexico, has been fired by the governer. They’re being replaced by federal police until new state police are hired. Morelos is the state bordering the D.F. (mexico city and it’s surroundings) to the south.
The police in Mexico are hella corrupt; i don’t know how accurate the portrayal is in the movie Traffic, but I would bet it’s not all that far off from the truth. I don’t know that the federal police are any less corrupt, but hopefully they are. This could be the start of reducing corruption in Mexico, and maybe making it a safer place to visit.

I sure hope they make it a safer place to visit. It sure would be nice to get another chance to ride Mexico’s famous zebra donkeys.
