- Police in Mexico are increasingly becoming targets of drug cartels.
There has been a surge in killings of men and women in uniform.
But things are particularly bad in the state of Zacatecas, where the number of police killed has tripled in three years.
Al Jazeera's @John Holman reports from Mexico.

We (the US) can send billions to Ukraine but we can't help our neighbors in Mexico and central America...
We dump a lot into Mexico. We train/equip their border patrol, send detectives to track cartel bosses, train Federal forces, and subsidize security infrastructure.
Right now we're working with the Federales but... that doesn't mean we like each other.
The government doesn’t care about his own people. They’re apart of the cartel’s
@@dominiquexo4772 lose the baseless libel
We don't need ur f***ing help, U.S send the weapons to the cartel for kill us, U.S is the problem, I hope one of these days Russia destroy U.S
or ourselves.
It takes balls to be cops in mexico
"Low trust society" a bit of an understatement...
Can’t trust these politicians
Its always becuase of these politicians.. the more you let them go away with it the worst it gets..
Note: haven't watched the full video yet + idk much about Mexico
That's about the dumbest policy I've ever heard of. Am your officers. If they do wrong arrest them. To have unarmed officers with the cartels around is obserd.
Your assumption is that the politicians and voting population regard cops as friends rather than competition.
@@samsonsoturian6013 So what's your solution then?
@@sergelondon916 immediate solution or permanent solution? Because the latter has to do with resplving sins of the town
@@samsonsoturian6013 give both
Bad cops will have guns regardless of what the government says. Only the good cops will follow the rules and get slaughtered.
The issue I see this. If the police remained armed, there will be corrupt cops that would use their weapons for the Cartel and the other is if they don't have a gun they would be targetted. This isn't a win win to anyone.
Doesn't stop a lot of them. Many officers with access to evidence lockers have sold weapons to friends and/or anyone that will pay. And there are a lot of guns in those valts simply because so many people are caught with illegal weapons and/or have their gun permits revoked.
Bad cops will have guns regardless of what the government says. Only the good cops will follow the rules and get slaughtered.
I think it’s preferable to having your police force murdered because soon there’ll be no police.
This is sort of like the gun debate in America. I think a lot of ppl are not considering that corrupt cops that choose to do something with their gun, more than likely have another firearm that they will use to whatever it is you hope they wouldn’t with their duty weapon. It’s the cops that are doing everything by the books that get hurt. It’s just crazy to think that with everything that’s going on and gone on in Mexico, disarming law enforcement is even an option.
People doing Drugs socially should really think of the horrors they cause and governments need to reevaluate their laws to help stop this ongoing carnage.
As someone who lives in Mexico, I'm more worried about the criminal police.
How is the police corruption over there?
@@marcosteenkamp5743 100%
No mames, a menos que seas de el estado de México; porque ahí si la única diferencia con respecto a las ratas es que usan uniforme.
Aquí en Guanajuato todos los polis que me he topado son buen pedo, e incluso en una época peligrosa por donde vivo a falta de policías y por la lejanía nos han dicho abiertamente que si tenemos la oportunidad de matar a algúna rata ellos nos hacen paro para deslindarnos y que podemos portar pistola de cualquier calibre siempre y cuando sea para defensa personal pero que preferiblemente hasta el 9mm para que les sea más fácil apoyarnos (es una comunidad pequeña y por eso el trato).
This world is going unstable
Poor civilians. They have 3 enemies; 1.govermnent, 2.police and 3.cartels. it's like no way around it.
Just like other countries
Poor is an karma. When they are rich. They become the govt police and cartels.
You wrong, the first enemy of Mexico is the United States.
There’s only one way out of this for them. With the military they must declare a full out war on those thugs and do not stop until they are defeated as full as possible 💡Even enlist new troops from 18 to 25 .
LoL, Glocks are no match for 249 saws in the back of dump trucks.
What your seeing is a free society rise up on a dirty government and that's how it should be.
@MD Akhjar Proof?
The military can’t do anything, their government won’t let them
Yes, more war is always the solution.
That won’t solve anything because the military is also bought by the cartels. In fact, They bribe general officers to lead attacks against rival cartels
So sad 😞…May God help them all 😢🙏🏻🇧🇷🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
God doesn't exist
What helps: do not buy cocaine.
@@rough77 what helps more is the worlds governments legalizing drugs and taking the money out of the hands of criminals. You cannot blame party goes and addicts in Europe and America that don’t even know what’s really going on in South America for well what’s going on. Imagine if alcohol was illegal, which it once were in America. Can you imagine saying “you can help stop crime caused by liquor gangs by not drinking”.
Now I expect a emotional response from this video like “ police officers should be able to protect themselves from criminals” However In Mexico it is not unusual for the police to be the biggest criminals in a community. There’s no perfect solution
In other words, they know cops are no different from anyone else in the turdhole.
This is why mexico needs out sourced police. Or help from other countries
@@realism1019 Outsourced? Who in the world is both A) most trustworthy and B) trusted by Mexicans?
@@samsonsoturian6013 that's up to the Mexican people to decide! But its the only way I see this comí to an end
@@samsonsoturian6013 he is right you can't have corrupt ppl fighting corruption. the only rational solution is to ask the US for hellp. 1 they have every reason for the drug trade to end 2 they have the resources to investigate a country
Why is RUclips is attaching a note stating "Al-Jazeera is funded in whole or in part by the Qatari government", while for DW, which is also funded in whole or in part by German government, RUclips's note says "DW is a German public service Broadcaster"?
This is a clear bias by RUclips.
The right to bear arms is a basic human right for all people. It is essentially the right to defend yourself because we all cannot be escorted around by private security. That is only for rich people.
Na. Here in Europe I have lived in many cities and never felt the need to carry a gun. Normal people having to carry firearms is for the americas/violent / lawless countries.
Just abandoned the country to the cartel already ..the government has been loosing for a long time..it’s not worth it anymore
Eventually, the US will have to step in to help Mexico defeat the cartels. The Mexican government is losing.
They us is already involved but they can’t force them if the government there doesn’t allow it
So do Mexican police not have their own guns when they go home? Sure turn in your service firearm but then have your off duty firearm on you afterwards. Fortunately in the states our laws mostly work. People aren't usually ambushing police, killing them and getting away with it. So I think Mexico needs to take a hard look at better securing their officers.
I wonder where the Cartels get all their guns? Maybe the North needs 2 stop selling them.
It’s really hard to legally get a gun in Mexico, there is only 1 heavily guarded gunstore located in the capital, for all the officers to have to go through the process would be hard and take a long time. Kind of illogical system but that’s what they have
You’d expect a mutiny with such low morale. But I guess the police top is protected by cartels
My home country NEEDS a 2nd ammendment like the US!! The people are sitting ducks where you're forced to rely on law enforcement or the military to get to the crime scene late!!
Disgusting!
next time when you buy drugs think about Mexico
You think drug users care?
Would this be true with decriminalization of all drugs?
What they really need is more wealth, not more guns. Happy people without existential fear usually don't join criminal organizations.
Many have said that, but the bottom line is a lot of them are fighting for wealth.
I almost thought this was an onion article...
300% ?!
Good.
Welfare recipient Government is for diplomacy , not societies rule
Be sure
300%? That's ludacris.
Mexico run by Coke and Coke.
Peaceful Christians doing pissful things
Who said they're Christians? And why the gratitous jab at a religion?
@John Rock Latin America is part of the world where a lot of unaffiliated people identify with their parent's religion. This use to be the case in Europe.
The Mexicans don't fight over religion. But you do get some weirdness, like there's a patron saint of smugglers. A lot of Mexicans comment many of their religious customs are Christianized versions of the indigenous pagan religions, some of which are still practiced.
Cause the head are cartel.
Need protestors there chanting No justice No peace ✌️ peace ☮️
Gun rights for everyone at all times. No one should not be armed. Truly I believe everyone should have a fire arm. On them at all times everywhere in the world. All people should have the right to protect themselves. At all times, every moment of every day. This world would be safer in my opinion. Its the politicians around the world that are afraid. Any politicians who doesn't want to carry a protective device has the right but NEVER should stop someone else from being able to protect themselves. Ever.
Pull a gun offensively in armed societies and you can forget about going to jail because society is eventually going to kill you.
Lose the political BS.
This is not a problem in Europe or Asia. Yet because Mexico neighbors the largest gun sellers, the cartels are always armed.
@@rebeccaperry-piper2733 There's only one dedicated gun store in Mexico, but hundreds of licensed arms sellers throughout the country.
And most will work with the cartels
👏👏👏
Annnd then we watch the Narcos and related TV series on Netflix. And all sympathy goes away.
God bless

Nice
Quit your job, problem solved.
I say the same thing, but those are the only decent paying jobs in those small towns. And when I say decent, I don't mean a lot....they get paid less than $1000 a month, like way less. But, it's more than what a corner taco maker will make. So, they take a chance to support their families. Also, in the USA for example, a local small town police officer makes nothing compared to many other trades out there, but their life isn't on the line the same as in Mexico.
A lot of these guys want to help their neighbors, others want to prove how tough they are, others are into rackets, but most have some combination of all the above.
Not really protecting the identity of the guy. I can see his hair style, build, and his voice is not distorted. Lazy and reckless.
So now anyone bundles up in military gear in society & obviously " they are cops too ".....

who have been funding to radical Islamism and terrorism, Pakistan or USA?

Thank me by installing more brain cells in your head
Neither, and you can eat nightshade if you say otherwise.
@@kevinjohn5412 😂
Dont stop are drugs coming, We don't care about anything else
All the aid the Federales get says otherwise
Mexican people are smart
Mexican cartels are legendary fighters indeed
That is fake news. I was expecting better content.
How?
I think it means content which confirms what is already assumed. Alternative facts if you will
@@patwiggins6969 Considering that I knew absolutely nothing about crime in Mexico I can’t really be the judge of that assessment.
Uh... Mexico has several ongoing cartel wars at any given time. What's your objection?
It’s real . I have seen dead bodies of cops in Mexico for going against the cartel
