MEXICO CITY (AP) — The notoriously violent Jalisco cartel has responded to Mexico’s “hugs, not bullets” policy with a policy of its own: The cartel kidnapped several members of an elite police force in the state of Guanajuato, tortured them to obtain names and addresses of fellow officers and is now hunting down and killing police at their homes, on their days off, in front of their families.
The special anti organized crime squads in New York were horrible monsters and racists. I am glad they don't exist in the old way.
Similar I don't trust those squads are only angels.
That said we can acknowledge that people on the countries are often no friends of cartel or police. The solution isn't hyping local cops, if the structure that enables the cartels is to a good part the imperialist capitalist US hegemon which taught the torture in the first place and shields some cartel functionaries or the other.
The worst monsters are the CIA/US military and such, not cartels, even if it were a competition.

The vast majority of the cartels in mexico are funded by the CIA
Yes. Which is what makes those worse (and I think it is important to highlight the culprits - though the systemic analysis is important, too)
