Nothing to see here, those were not Mexican Federal Police you saw crossing into the United States, move along.
ElPasoTimes
Mexican federal police momentarily crossed the Rio Grande into the United States on Thursday morning in an incursion under investigation by both countries, a U.S. Border Patrol spokesman said.
The incursion occurred east of the Zaragoza Bridge while three hunters were on the U.S. side on the first day of dove season.
Channel 9-KTSM reported a relative of the hunters told the station that gunmen in Mexico fired at the hunters and that the gunmen crossed the border and stole their chairs.
Border Patrol spokesman Doug Mosier said border agents and Texas Parks and Wildlife officers responded immediately. There were no reported injuries.
Agents arriving at the scene saw Mexican federal police crossing the river back into Mexico after they had been on the U.S. side, Mosier said.

NYPD forms new social media unit to mine Facebook and Twitter for mayhem
After the riots in Europe what do you expect?
Especially when we may start seeing the same thing here in the U.S.
I bet people will complain about the whole set up, and as I always say- Those are the ones to watch.
The Daily News
The NYPD has formed a new unit to track troublemakers who announce plans or brag about their crimes on Twitter, MySpace and Facebook.
Newly named Assistant Commissioner Kevin O'Connor, one of the department's online and gang gurus, has been put in charge of the new juvenile justice unit. He and his staff will mine social media, looking for info about troublesome house parties, gang showdowns and other potential mayhem, sources said.
The power of social media to empower both criminals and cops has been on full display in London this week, where riots and looting have been spreading dramatically.
The rioters have been using Twitter and BlackBerry messages to choose targets for looting or burning - and to alert one another about police positions.
The very same social media have been a source for those trying to help cops by posting photos of rioters.
O'Connor's new unit will operate under the Community Affairs Bureau; it will also handle outreach programs, with its mandate going beyond the Net.

Looting, rioting spreads in London
Second day of riots, 35 police injured.
No tanks, snipers or suicide bombings though; the police are just trying to calm them not kill them.
The Economic Times
Several instances of looting and clashes were reported across the city as mob angry over the killing of a man in north London combined with ennui over harsh economic conditions attacked police in a second night of violence, reminding many of racial unrest in the 1980s.
Over 100 people were arrested as the attacks that began in Tottenham spread to areas such as Enfield, Brixton, Dalston, Islington Walthamstow and Tottenham seemed to be coordinated. Oxford Circus was also targeted.
Police brought in additional forces to deal with increasing attacks on public property and maintain peace.

News Mexico town's police force quits after attack
I would quit too, death is not worth a few pesos a day.
Associated press
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — An entire 20-man police force resigned in a northern Mexican town after a series of attacks that killed the police chief and five officers over the last three months, state officials said Thursday.
The officers' resignation Thursday left the 13,000 people of Ascension without local police services, Chihuahua state chief prosecutor Carlos Manuel Salas said. State and federal police have moved in to take over police work, he said.
The mass resignation appeared to be connected to a Tuesday attack by gunmen that killed three of the town's officers, Salas said.
But it wasn't the first deadly attack on the police department this year.
In mid-May, police chief Manuel Martinez, who had been in office just seven months, was gunned down with two other officers on a nearby highway. The three had been kidnapped a day before police found their bodies riddled with bullets in the back seat of a sedan.

Body count from mass graves in Mexico rises to 145
Sixteen police officers are arrested for allegedly providing cover to drug-cartel gangsters suspected in the slayings. The graves were found near the northern Mexico town of San Fernando, where the arrested officers worked.
Don't worry Mexico Is safe, it's not like the police are involved in any wrong doings, like killing people!
The newspaper Reforma reported Friday that there are 400 unclaimed suitcases at bus depots in the route's final destination city of Matamoros.
So 400 at this bus depot, that's 255 more bodies they have not found yet!
and this is just one bus depot! buses are a major way of travel throughout Mexico.
Not a big deal though, this stuff doesn't happen by the border or anything like that!
The Los Angeles Times
The number of bodies pulled from mass graves in northeastern Mexico has risen to 145, officials said Friday, following the arrest of 16 police officers for allegedly providing cover to drug-cartel gangsters suspected in the grisly slayings.
Morelos Canseco, a senior government official for the state of Tamaulipas where the clandestine burials were discovered, said another 23 bodies were extracted Thursday. Unlike the previous victims who are thought to be passengers kidnapped recently from buses, the latest corpses had apparently been buried for a much longer time, Canseco said in a radio interview.
Canseco said none of the bus companies whose passengers were kidnapped ever informed authorities about the crimes. The newspaper Reforma reported Friday that there are 400 unclaimed suitcases at bus depots in the route's final destination city of Matamoros.

Afghanistan: Nato soldiers shot by Afghan 'policeman'
Another Taliban Sympathizer in the Afghanistan police force?
It would not be surprising at all, and not the first time.
Bastards.
BBC
Two Nato soldiers have been shot dead by a man wearing an Afghan border police uniform in Afghanistan's Faryab province, officials say.
Nato is investigating the incident but said the gunman had fled the checkpoint where the shooting happened.
But another account says that the shots were fired from a nearby house and a police officer ran away at that point.
Nato is due begin transferring power to local Afghan forces in July.
If the attacker in this incident is proven to be a member of the security forces, this would be just the latest in a string of attacks by Afghan security personnel on foreign forces.

Taliban overrun remote district
So again we wait for another spring offensive, and again the Taliban is positioning themselves for it.
The security forces run away without a problem and the people stick their heads in the sand, this is Afghanistan.
Foxnews
About 300 Taliban fighters on Tuesday overran the tiny capital of a remote and mountainous district in northeast Afghanistan, forcing police to retreat from their small outpost in the area, an official said.
The takeover was another indication of the deteriorating security situation in the north and east of the country, and a sign that the Taliban are preparing for a spring offensive against Afghan security forces and coalition forces.
Nuristan provincial police chief Shamsul Rahman said the insurgents took control of the main village in rugged Waygal district during a pre-dawn raid. He added that police decided to retreat and said they suffered no casualties. By taking its seat, the insurgents essentially took over control of the small district.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said the district was captured along with 12 police officers and their weaponry. He said the Taliban met little resistance and the rest of the police retreated in the direction of the provincial capital.

U.P. man headed to court over explosive found at Detroit federal building
The Detroit Police Bomb Squad took it to Belle Isle. There, police tried to open a metal cashbox in the bag, when personnel heard a "loud bang, saw a grayish smoke cloud arise ... and saw debris from inside the box fly through the air and spread around the explosion site,"
Three weeks inside the McNamara Fed building, And it was a live bomb?
The Detroit Free Press
An engineering graduate from Michigan Technological University who blames the government for his father's death will appear in federal court in Marquette today on charges that he tried to blow up the McNamara Federal Building in Detroit.
Gary Mikulich, 42, of Kingsford, who allegedly claimed he was once the "nominated president of the United States," was arrested Thursday after federal agents linked him to a suspicious tool bag found Feb. 26 at the federal building.
According to the criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court, an FBI employee noticed the tool bag that had been abandoned outside the McNamara Building and reported it to building security.
For an unknown reason, security officers with Federal Protective Services kept the bag for more than three weeks. On March 18, a security officer ran the bag through an X-ray machine and noticed "wires, electrical components and dense masses," the complaint said.

Oklahoma Police Captain Faces Disciplinary Action for Refusing to Attend Islamic Event
Rotten Bastard, How dare this Guy not attend a Muslim get down at the local Mosque!
They just wanted to honor the police with a prayer service, a tour of the Mosque, a lecture or two on the Beliefs of Islam, And some talk about women!
Unbelievable, Outrageous!
I can't believe someone would turn down an offer to be Converted to Islam!(Sarc off)
Foxnews
The Tulsa Police Deptartment is investigating a captain who refused an order to assign officers to attend an upcoming Islamic event because he said it would violate his religious beliefs.
Capt. Paul Fields was reassigned after he refused to order officers under his command to attend the Islamic Center of Tulsa’s Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, a spokesman for the department said.
“It is my opinion and that of my legal counsel that forcing me to enter a Mosque when it is not directly related to a police call for service is a violation of my Civil Rights,” Fields wrote in an internal police department memo obtained by Fox News.
“I have no problem with officers attending on a voluntary basis; however, I take exception to requiring officers to attend this event,” Fields wrote in an e-mail to his superior officer obtained by Fox News. “I believe this directive to be an unlawful order, as it is in direct conflict with my personal religious convictions.”
Tulsa Police Chief Chuck Jordan told FOX23-TV the event was about community relations, not religion.
“This was not religious,” he said. “I would never assign a police officer to participate in religious service,” he told the TV station. “This is about a group who bonded together because of their religion. We are not going there because they are Islamic. We are going there because they are Tulsa citizens.”
However, according to a promotional flyer, the Islamic event included not just food and entertainment, but “presentations” on “beliefs, human rights, and women.” They would also be able to watch a Muslim prayer service and take a tour of the mosque.
“It’s up to you,” the flyer stated.

Two dead as Tunisian police fires on protesters
You gotta love Islam, Strife, unrest, riots, police bitch slappin women in the streets and then shooting people because they did not like it.
The later part I don't understand, I thought it was allowable to Bitch slap your women in Islam? Maybe that is just your own Women.
(Reuters) - At least two people were killed and 17 others wounded in northern Tunisia on Saturday when police opened fire to quell a protest after a senior police officer slapped a woman in the face, official and media sources said.
The head of police in the city of El Kef was arrested after the shooting, an Interior Ministry source said.
Four policemen had been arrested earlier on Saturday on suspicion of links to the death on Friday of two civilians while in police custody in Sidi Bouzid, the epicenter of a popular revolt that ousted last month President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali and reverberated across the Arab world.
Public confidence in the police has been at a low since the revolt, with many Tunisians blaming police officers for killing protesters and associating them with the ousted president.

I think I would quit too if my partners were having there heads cut off.
Foxnews
The police chief and all 38 police officers of a northeastern Mexican town have quit following a series of drug cartel attacks, including the decapitation of two of their colleagues.
Soldiers, state and federal police had been deployed to patrol General Teran, a town along a notorious drug-smuggling route to the U.S. border, said Mayor Ramon Villagomez.
The police quit after the discovery Wednesday of the mutilated bodies of two officers who had been kidnapped by gunmen two days earlier.
The killings followed three attacks on the police headquarters since December. Gunmen hurled grenades and sprayed the building with machine-gun fire.

La Familia cartel in retreat
La Familia Disbanded, I don't think so.
Maybe laying low, but disbanded; No!
Foxnews
The Mexican government vowed Tuesday not to back down in its fight against La Familia drug cartel, despite mysterious banners proclaiming that the brutal gang has dissolved itself.
Lawmakers and drug war experts expressed skepticism about the banners, saying the message could be a ploy to divert the focus of federal security forces away from the cartel, known for beheadings and bold attacks on police and soldiers.
Alejandro Poire, the federal government's security spokesman, "there would be no truce" with La Familia. He did not comment directly on the banners but said La Familia has been weakened since its leader Nazario Moreno was killed in a gunbattle with police last month.
"What is clear is that this criminal organization is weakened and in retreat," Poire said at a news conference.
The banners claiming "La Familia is completely dissolved" appeared Monday on bridges in western Michoacan state, the cartel's stronghold.

Mexico arrests hitmen blamed for Acapulco slayings
While reading this it hit me, all the big arrests you hear about in Mexico; you never hear about what happens to these guys.
(Reuters) - Mexican federal police have arrested seven drug gang members in the Pacific port of Acapulco, including the man behind the murders of 22 people in the resort this month, the government said on Sunday.
The group is a splinter faction of the Beltran Leyva cartel, which has fragmented since Mexican marines killed its leader, Arturo Beltran Leyva, in December 2009, the federal police said in a statement. Police said the group's leader, Jose Lozano, was behind the 22 Acapulco murders.
The police did not provide other details or explain why the arrests, which occurred on Thursday, were not announced until Sunday.

Four Detroit police officers shot inside precinct
Things are heating up in Detroit.
Blistering cold temps, no work, rampant anger!
Oh it can get nuts here.
All the officers shot will be o.k., and you can bet no one will ever just walk into a Detroit Police station unchecked ever again !
Detroit News
A gunman walked into a Detroit police precinct this afternoon and shot a commander and three other officers before he was killed, police sources confirmed.
Cmdr. Brian Davis, in charge of the 6th precinct, was shot in the hand and side and was undergoing surgery this evening, a police source said. Officer David Anderson was shot in the head but is alert and talking and moving his limbs, the source said.
Other reports indicate two other officers were grazed by gunfire and suffered minor wounds.
Police said the man was armed with a small shotgun.
The victims were taken to nearby Sinai Grace Hospital shortly after the 4:30 p.m. shooting. Detroit Mayor Dave Bing and Police Chief Ralph Godbee arrived at the hospital early this evening to visit the wounded.
Earlier, Bing and Deputy Mayor Saul Green visited the police precinct to offer support.
Sunday's shooting capped off a bloody weekend that saw at least 10 people shot since Friday night — four at the precinct, three outside a strip club, and three murder victims found in a house in the 14000 block of Faircrest.
The shooting occurred at the 6th Precinct, just west of the Southfield Freeway and south of Interstate 96. Like most precincts in the city, there are no metal detectors in the entrance and visitors can come in and talk face-to-face with officers.

Detainees don police uniforms in Iraq jailbreak
What a joke, how did these guys get the Uniforms the Police force wears?
It is quite odd that there were only twelve prisoners at the jail and twelve Uniforms were there for the Taking.
Foxnews
A dozen terror suspects disguised in police uniforms broke out of an Iraqi jail Friday, prompting a manhunt across the nation's south for what officials called a dangerous group of top-ranking insurgents linked to al-Qaida.
At least two of the suspects had formerly been held at Camp Bucca, the sprawling prison on Iraq's southern border with Kuwait where the U.S. military held tens of thousands of suspected insurgents — all of whom were transferred to Iraqi custody when the prison camp closed in September 2009.
The 12 suspects were awaiting trial when they obtained the police uniforms and walked out of the small, temporary detention center in one of Saddam Hussein's former palaces before dawn in the southern port city of Basra, said three Iraqi security officials.
Iraqi security forces immediately set up checkpoints on two major northbound highways to stop cars, asking all police to display their official ID cards as they urgently tried to track down the suspects. Basra is Iraq's second-largest city and is located 340 miles (550 kilometers) southeast of Baghdad.

9 Policemen Killed in Ambush in Western Mexico
Jalisco authorities complained that Michoacan officials had not joined in the search for the attackers.
Obviously the Jalisco Authorities did not realize that the Michiacan officials don't want to help out, Why would they turn in the people who supply Money to them ?
Foxnews
GUADALAJARA, Mexico -- Unidentified gunmen ambushed a convoy of five police vehicles in the western Mexico state of Jalisco on Thursday, killing nine officers and leaving one missing.
The 20 officers in the convoy were outnumbered by the attackers, who were riding in about ten sport utility vehicles, the Jalisco state public safety department said in a statement.
The ten officers who survived the attack fought an hours-long battle with the gunmen, and several were wounded.
The attackers used grenades and assault rifles before fleeing into neighboring Michoacan state.
Michoacan is home to the violent La Familia cartel, which has been known to launch fierce attacks on police convoys.
Jalisco authorities complained that Michoacan officials had not joined in the search for the attackers.

WTF? It's now illegal to burn qurans in England? When the f**k did this happen? Telegraph
Officers detained two men on September 15 and four more yesterday and all six were bailed pending further inquiries, Northumbria Police said.I wonder if the same police would arrest anyone for burning bibles or any other religious book for that matter.
''The arrests followed the burning of what are believed to have been two Korans in Gateshead on September 11,'' the spokesman said. [...]
Northumbria Police said the men were not arrested for watching or distributing the video, but on suspicion of burning the Koran.

Mexico: Soldiers kill 25 in gunbattle near border
At least the Police had the Upper hand in this one .
I wonder if it has anything to do with the firing of 3200 police personnel the other day ?
El Paso Times
MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) - A shootout between soldiers and suspected drug cartel members in northeastern Mexico left 25 purported gunmen dead Thursday, the military said.
A reconnaissance flight over Ciudad Mier spotted several gunmen in front of a property, according to a statement from Mexico's Defense Department. Mier is across the Rio Grande from Roma, Texas, in the border state of Tamaulipas state, just south of Falcon Dam.
When troops on the ground moved in, gunmen opened fire, starting a gunbattle that killed 25 suspected cartel members, according to the military. The statement said two soldiers were injured but none were killed.
