Entire Police Force Quit In Mexico After Goons Shoot Up Their Headquarters!

Entire police force in Mexican town targeted by drugs violence say: We quit

The entire police force of a small Mexican town have quit after gunmen attacked their headquarters on Monday.
Los Ramones in Nuevo Leon in the north of the country has seen fighting between the Gulf and Zetas drug gangs, tearing the state apart.
Santos Salinas, Mayor of Los Ramones said nobody was injured but that all 14 members of the force resigned today.


Troubled town: All 14 members from the Los Ramones police force in Mexico resigned today after gunmen attacked their headquarters shooting more than a thousand rounds and launching six grenades. Bullet holes: The armed fire caused damage to the building and patrol truck, blowing out windows and shattering glass.
Police stations in small northeastern Mexican towns are frequently attacked and several mayors have been assassinated.
Mexico's ill-equipped municipal forces often quit after attacks by cartels.
President Felipe Calderon has proposed eliminating Mexico's municipal forces and replacing them with one force per state.
Meanwhile, the bodies of two men, one of them decapitated, were found in a Mexican border city earlier today.
Police suspect they may have been behind the massacre of 14 young people at a birthday party.
The bodies were found inside an SUV in Ciudad Juarez, said prosecutor Jorge Gonzalez Nicolas.
One of them had been decapitated and his head was left in the car. Both bodies had their hands and feet bound and bore signs of torture.
A sign left with the bodies accused them of killing women and children.
Gonzalez said the message raised the possibility that the two men were involved in the attack on the party Friday night.

Gunmen pulled up to two homes next door to each other in a lower-middle-class Ciudad Juarez neighborhood and opened fire on about four dozen partygoers gathered for a 15-year-old boy's birthday party.
The dead were 13 to 32 years old, including six women and girls.
Gonzalez said the survivors would be shown photographs of the faces of the two men found dead.
The two men appeared to be in their early 20s, which coincides with accounts from some of the survivors, he said.
One survivor has said that a gunman who appeared to be about 20 opened fire on the crowd after nobody would answer questions about a car parked outside the houses.

More than 6,500 people have been killed in Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas, since a turf war erupted two years ago between the Juarez and Sinaloa drug cartels.
It has become the deadliest city in Mexico, where nationwide, more than 28,000 people have died in drug-gang violence.
Calderon had deployed thousands of troops and federal police in late 2006 to step up the assault on cartels.
