More Blood in Culiacán

Nine civilians were killed by a group of 30 heavily armed hitmen in a Culiacán garage. The article here presents the victims as having no connection with the drug cartels (though that makes you wonder why the commando unit went there in the first place). Three more police officers were killed giving chase.

The article also memorably quotes a police officer on the scene of the murders:
Where's the attorney general? Where's the governor? They're doing away with us to clean up. It's f--ked up...they're killing us all. They're killing us all," continued the furious state police officer, who maintained a strong grip on his AR-15. "Where are the special units? What is it that they do?," the officer continued questioning in a raised voice.
