Cartel Gunmen Steal All of Town’s Police Weapons
(Xalapa, Veracruz)  The Veracruz municipality of Rafael Lucio, nestled in the mountains, had all of the police department’s weapons stolen by an armed group of gunmen.  Now the municipal mayor of this town of 7,000 people, has refused to equip the 13 officers with replacement weapons. The Secretary of Pubic Safety has denied the municipality even has a need for weapons. [More]
See? You don't need to set up any elaborate cross-border scheme to have it happen...

And the mayor wants to LEAVE them disarmed? HAH! That police department is now a laughingstock! Los Keystone Kops, writ large!

IF we assume that the Mexican police are the good guys, isn't it interesting that there's great emphasis placed on the requirement that THEY have to comply with federal gun law while the cartels say "F--- THAT sh--."
