Nearly half of Mexican cops fail police tests

MEXICO CITY (AP) - Almost half of Mexican police officers examined this year have failed background and security tests, a figure that rises to nearly 9 of 10 cops in the border state of Baja California, the government reported Thursday.

The number of officers scoring a “not recommendable” rating on the tests averaged 49 percent nationwide, well above the 42 percent who got a “recommendable” rating.

The tests - which involved lie detectors, drug tests, psychological profiling and tests of personal wealth, among other measures - were intended to root out corrupt, incompetent and unfit officers. The report did not break down how many officers failed each category.

In Baja California, home to the border city of Tijuana, some 89 percent of police tested failed, and only 4 percent were judged “recommendable.” Officers there have been periodically disarmed, detained and investigated by federal investigators and army troops on suspicion of aiding drug traffickers.

Can you imagine the hue and cry of the American people if this were our standard? Can you imagine the actions that the NAACP, the ACLU and every other *civil rights* organization would take it this were the accepted level of professionalism of American police?

Mexico doesn’t hold their police to standards that OUR officers were held to 40 years ago, maybe even further back than that. The level of corruption seen among Mexican police has NEVER been approached by ANY department in the U.S.A., not even by the Chicago P.D. back in the Capone days!

I can understand the fact that there are some decent Mexican people that want to come to this nation simply to earn a decent living and better themselves, and given the level of corruption and sheer incompetence of their police, and truth be told, their army and their very government, I actually don’t blame them. Maybe they come here illegally because in Mexico, LEGAL itself is a moot point, legal, and it’s definition often have much to do with the amount of money you happen to have on you at the moment.

I spent 9 years in El Paso, working on BOTH sides of the border. The El Paso Police and El Paso County Sheriffs Dept were as top shelf as anyone could ask for. The cops on the Mexican side, Front Chih., Chihuahua State Police and Juarez City Police were an entirely different matter, and for the record, I was in El Paso from 1981 until 1990, Americans were not nearly as aware of the ILLEGAL invasion as they are today, but even then, Mexican corruption ran rampant, immigration laws were nonexistent.

Border Patrol did as good a job as they could, given their limited resources, they would round up the illegals and take them back to Juarez by the bus load. In most cases, a quick payoff to a Mexican official was made and the illegals were back in Texas before the Border Patrol bus that took them back was.

Fast forward to 2008, Mexico is even more corrupt, their economy is even worse than it was 25 or 30 years ago and our borders are no stronger. We still have *wetbacks* invading this nation in great numbers, and mixed with them, I am convinced, members of terror organizations that are bringing in guns, grenades and other explosives to use against us, the American people, at a time of their choosing. And that time is not too far in the future I believe.

Mexico is corruption personified, we can’t count on Mexico for anything, yet our borders are still incredibly porous, and with the incoming Obama administration, the borders will NOT be getting any stronger I am guessing. Americans had best be on guard, ever vigilant, we are now at a time in our history where the very survival of this nation is in jeopardy. Look to our current POTUS for some the basic reasons WHY, George Bush spent the last 8 years doing nothing to secure our border with Mexico. Look to his predecessors as well, no U.S. president has done much in the effort to secure our border since Operation Wetback in 1953.

With the obviously sad state of the Mexican police, and Mexico itself, if We, The People don’t make a stand soon, we won’t have anything left to stand for!!

    “The tests - which involved lie detectors, drug tests, psychological profiling and tests of personal wealth, among other measures ”

    If the NAACP and Not-so Sharpton’s crew got a hold of those standards in our PD’s, chances are WE will have to dumb them down too..Lie detectors are now biased against blacks, Drug tests are racist due to the prevailing white racism in the nation and we can’t expect black youth to not use the CIA’s Drugs. and PROFILING… HOW DARE YOU! Personal wealth? you mean I can’t have my blingbling?

    The Mexican invasion is caused by MEXICO, I have always said it, I continue to believe that if the ILLEGAL’S that try to come here and are willing to face death to do it, would put that effort into FIXING their own country, MEXICO would be a paradise in 20 years, and WE might be begging to get there..

    Revolution is not for the faint of heart.. but it is necessary if you feel you have no choice other than flee.

    This past Easter my nephew and some friends were vacationing in Cancun. Him and another friend made the mistake of walking back to their hotel, at night, from the beach. They were stopped by six Police officers in uniform. While four of them held held them at gunpoint, the other two searched them and took their wallets, phones, and jewelry. Fortunately they were let go without any harm. I’m sure there are some good cops in Mexico but the majority are as crooked as a dog’s hind leg.

    Here’s the Logical Extension no one wants to consider or write about: at this rate, the time will come when the United States becomes Mexico. THEN what will the citizenry have in terms of police, military and government personnel? Mexicans invade our country precisely because it ISN’T Mexico. You can have Mexico. I’ve only been there on one Holland America “Mexican Riviera” cruise and I’ve seen enough.

    Seems as though Mexico is having more serious problems since they made firearms ownership even more difficult than it had been. I wonder why? You have the “Zeta’s” and other criminal groups basically running the country, and the people have to means of effective resistance.

    What do I base that on? Well, you folks in Texas? Take a look at Laredo. That, is what is moving north…

    Patrick: I’m not familiar with Texas. What about Laredo?
