Death of 2 police official in Mexico
















CNN's Harris Whitebeck recently contributed a story about the recent deaths of 2 police officials in Mexico. Esteban Robles Espinosa and Edgar Eusebio Millan Gomez had been gunned down in the streets of Mexico this week, Espinosa at 8:30 this morning leaving his house and Gomez around dawn Thursday in Mexico City.

Whitebeck's though mentioning the tragedy of these deaths did not make it the main focus of his story but used it as a way to transition to the bigger picture in the situation which was that the Mexican government has recently been facing much opposition from the drug cartels in Mexico after president Felipe Calderon announced a crackdown on the drug cartels in Mexico.

These conflict against the drug cartels are incredible because pf the fire power that the cartels posses as Whitbeck described them to being close to small military conflicts. It has been made apparent that as the U.S. has fought a war on terror. Mexico is fight a war on drugs and crime.
