Mayor says torture training will continue and public officials will not be punished.

Exactly one day after George Bush signed the first year of the $1.6 billion Plan Mexico into law--giving Mexican military and police US training, armament, and resources--videos surfaced showing Mexican police undergoing torture training in León, Guanajuato. The torture training is directed by a British man from an unidentified US private security company.

The videos show the English-speaking contractor directing and participating in the torture of members of the Special Tactical Group (GET in its Spanish initials) of the León municipal police force during a 160-hour training over twelve days in April 2006. Alvar Cabeza de Vaca, the Secretary of Public Security in León, says the participants volunteered to be tortured as part of the training.

In one video, the unidentified contractor drags a GET officer through a puddle of his own vomit as punishment for failure to complete a training exercise:

Warning: these videos are graphic and depict torture of human beings

Four decapitated bodies found
Mexico deaths part of drug feud
The Associated Press


MEXICO CITY - Four decapitated bodies were found on a street in the Mexican city of Culiacan, blocks away from their severed heads, officials said Thursday.
Three of the bodies were found inside plastic bags, and the fourth was wrapped in a blanket, authorities said. Officials said they think the killings were drug gang related.




So maybe, a little roughing up of Mexico's criminals is not such a bad thing?

My tax payer money should not be paying for the protection of Mexicans. It should be used to protect the boarders to make sure these slim balls do not get into my country. I could give two shits if they decapitate each other. that is not my business and should not be the USA's business. If the citizens of mexico do not like it, they should stand up and do something.

It's a new policy, seems to have worked with Colombia, not that many Colombians who are illegals.
So now we try the same thing with Mexico...

thanks for this..

i guess you cant get shitfaced and sweat at the cops anymore

obviously we don't control where our taxes go too..:2 cents:
if it wasn't "USA's business" then why did Bush sign that..:helpme
anyway, I'm not into politics..move on..

newflash for retards. soldiers get captured. they get tortured.... not too sure whats so horrible about training them to be prepared for it.

never...:helpme
:pimp

Is this in response on how well things are going in Columbia?

I always thought of Mecxico as being more liberal then the United States and into Human rights, be it their stand against capital punishment.

Lets hope it works. But I doubt it will.

This looks like they are being trained, incase they are captured by the Cartels.

Mexico into human rights :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
I witnessed first hand how the cops treated a kid who couldn't have been more than 6, he had stolen some kind of fruit and they beat him so bad I thought they were going to kill him, the tour guide told us to shut up and walk away or else we would have to pay some kind of bribe to the cops so they would not beat us....

yeap, but I think they need to get rough because of the bad people..

Got a map ??? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

BTW, we have no problems with illegal Mexicans ... ( same idiot thinking ... ) :)

If that is supposed to be torture training, they need to hire a new guy.

Yes I have a map, and on that map Brazil is much farther away than Colombia, nevertheless, the number of illegals from Brazil is increasing at a very alarming rate.

Human rights generally refers to the treatments issued by the true governing laws, and not the treatment at the street level. I have seen cops here in mexico get arrested for treating people like that. At the same time, I have seen them walk with no worries. And dont think for one second thigns like that DONT happen in the US.

shit..I think I opened a can of worms..

Come down and live here and see what goes on before you believe everything you read.
