PlusPolice 'Torture' Videos Cause Uproar in MexicoPolice 'Torture' Videos Cause Uproar in MexicoThe Associated PressVideos showing Leon police practicing torture techniques on a fellow officer and dragging another through vomit at the instruction of a U.S. adviser created an uproar in Mexico, which has struggled to eliminate torture in law enforcement. (July 1)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] [Notes:Dateline: NATS up instructor 'C'mon!']It's this video ... showing an American instructing Mexican police on torture techniques ... that's causing national uproar. Two of the videos were broadcast on T-V and also showed up on newspaper websites.In them ... Mexican police say they're simply training an elite unit on how to deal with kidnapping and high-stress situations by organized crime groups.But many Mexicans saw a sinister side... The headline for this newspaper reads: 'They are teaching police ... to torture!' The videos appear at a time when police and soldiers across the country are struggling with scandals over alleged abuses.Mexican police say that they and the military have to train officers how to withstand very violent drug gangs.And that's in part why President Bush recently signed 400-million-dollars of drug-war aid for Mexico into law.But the law does **not** require the U-S to independently verify that the military has cleaned up the way it operates... As many American lawmakers and Mexican human rights groups had hoped it would. ___ ___, The Associated Press.(****END****)

Why don't you investigate the nazi-CIA connection and the training of police to support dictators in South American countries, the Death Squads of El Salvador and Guatamala, and then realize the kind of oppression represented by American CIA (nazi) torture techniques taught to corrupt federales. BTW the CIA is competing for the drug trade. Illegal monies support secret black ops. They aren't being taught to torture criminals but to suppress the population. Do your homework.

Putting on a police uniform creates a moral good guy and automatically renders the suspect a criminal? Sir, Mexican Police are associated with the worst human rights abuses on record, are among the world's most corrupt, engage in rape and prostitution rings, child pedophilia rings, human organ theft, and torture, not for committing crimes, but to extort and blackmail money from families etc. ( 11 was an inside job anyway. Osama was a CIA agent.

You know... It's funny how people accuse authority of always being the bad guys rather than the criminals themselves. What do you think got them into those positions. Those being tortured are not innocent. They will keep doing crimes until they finally get punished. You need to just accept the fact that it's not pretty, but rather reality. Also, ACAB is just a load of crap. And cops do help so shut up. Next time you have a problem I hope 911 doesn't show up just so you get screwed.

Guys, it's simple. You don't want to be tortured? Then kill the motherfucking pigs who torture. Become a terror to the terrorist. Those people do not keep you safe, they create divisions, distrust, hostility and repercussions of escalating violence. Not only that, they are among the most corrupt of all police officials in human history.
