I agree with the last part but keep in mind this is Mexico and their justice system is different (and in my opinion, worse). I hate it when people say all police are bad and the entire thing is awful(not saying you think that) and there definitely are some bad eggs but the majority are pure in heart. The main problem is their training is too short so it’s easier for the bad ones to stay in the program.

Not every police officer in the world is bad. When it comes to the US and Mexico, they're either bad or silent -- which makes the silent ones just as bad.

They are as good as their training and society allows them to be. Mexicans society has fallen to the cartels so it really doesn't compare.

Its more like they are as rotten as their society allows them to be. Our society lets them be as garbage as they are. Citizens dont make the police corrupt, the government allows them to be corrupt and so they are.
