Is Mexico a narco state?

[MikeWaters]

I'm reading in the paper that two police chiefs in Northern Mexico were just killed.

Mexican police admitted that a recent drug raid was staged. They defended this as actually a "reenactment" of what actually had happened, and just wanted the public to experience it.

Meanwhile Fox is saying the govt. is in control.

Regarding the police chiefs, sounds like they were killed due to inter-cartel fighting, rather than criminals vs. police. Meaning that they police are largely indistinguishable from the criminals.

Three police officers in Dallas shot while doing a raid on Mexican trafficers of meth. Largely Mexican nationals.

True democracy is such a rare thing. That is why those forces that weaken it piss me off. Like narco states. Like a president with apparent disregard for the law who chooses to act like a monarch.

Scary thing is that the cartels are targeting journalists in Mexico.

Also, meth is being brought in from Mexico as America has cut off the supplies used to make meth (homebrew method)....

I am wondering why a big frickin' wall between us and Mexico is such a bad idea....
