Mexico City police chief shot dead in ‘drug cartel hit’

Milton Morales Figueroa reportedly killed by gunmen while enjoying a family day out

Mexico City’s head of intelligence and police operations has been gunned down in an apparent drug cartel hit.

Milton Morales Figueroa, 40, is reported to have died instantly in a hail of bullets in the town of Coacalco, just north of the Mexican capital, on a family day out on Sunday.

He was hit at least twice in the head when gunmen jumped out of two SUVs with darkened windows which had suddenly pulled up as the police commander and relatives stopped at a small supermarket in a residential street. Two other people were reportedly injured. One is thought to have been a bodyguard and the other a family member.

Isn’t it way past time they got the Iraq treatment?

Like, we go bomb the shit out of them and keep the country in limbo long enough for the power vacuum to be filled with a couple of larger terrorist groups?

positiveWHAT ,

Well, when you put it like that. Maybe more of a Kosovo UN treatment?

J.D.? Shouldn’t you be on the campaign trail, buddy?

What’s the “Iraq treatment”? The U.S. spending a trillion dollars to create enough instability for something like ISIS to emerge?

Mexico has been essentially a failed state for about 200 years. Its history is a series of coups and revolutions punctuated by periods of instability like we have today.

Make Mexico Spanish Again

Mexico is highly dysfunctional and suffering from extreme levels of political violence, but no, it’s not a failed state.

Somewhat ironically, Omar Garcia Harfuch, nominated to her cabinet by Mexican President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum, was a former Mexico Police Chief who survived an assassination attempt in 2020.

Garcia Harfuch is suspected of being involved in the infamous disappearances of 43 students from Ayotzinapa Rural Teacher’s College, being head of the Federal Police of the region who abducted and allegedly tortured the students before killing them. nacla.org/rebirth-omar-garcia-harfuch

Well that was a lot of horrible info to take in, thanks.

I don’t know anything about the guy but it must take some serious balls to do a job like that in Mexico City.

For a second I thought you were talking about the hit, but now I realise you mean the police chief part.
