Gotta provide some details for us non Mexican folks.
They look like they are part of the federal government?
normally the cartel dresses like the military or three police, one big give away is that the cartel uses tennis instead of boots and act mostly like kids LARPing
It is common for either:
A - cartel to dress up to look like police men (commonly recognized through wearing masks over face)
B - police men to be in cahoots with cartel (iirc this is becoming less and less common)
There are autodefensas that dress up and have assault rifles, too. Probably not these guys though.
Thus, plus the random terf fighting in blatantly tourist areas makes me really not want to go there, even to the "safe" afeas
Why couldn't they get his wallet if he was handcuffed?
He’d lift his butt cheek to one side and when they walked over to the other side of the police car he’d switch sides. They were all giggling and finally he said, “I’ll tell you muchacho, you take these cuffs off and I’ll give you half my money.”
(Read the next line with your inner Forrest Gump) And wouldn’t you know it? It worked.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. The covering of faces I didn’t know.
Cartels maybe?
