Spirit7 said:It's always been known that the National Police is corrupt to the core; just a reflection of of this mostly uneducated society where most of the people are
all too willing to look for the easy way out, even if unethically, morally or
legally wrong.
It's beyond me why now, suddenly, people are surprised that police officers are in possession of hundreds of stolen luxury vehicles with an obvious complicity with criminals. This has been the standard operating procedure
in this society for decades and neither the 'authorities', 'free press' nor the people have ever bothered to unmask and have been accomplices by looking the other way.
The National Police cannot be salvaged and a completely new attitude needs to be taken by establishing a FEDERAL POLICE FORCE (FPF) while the National Police is methodically eliminated and disbanded. This new FPF
can use military personnel, trained with police methods, with a decent salary and commanded by proven, honest and capable people. Young people can be recruited and also trained with the most modern police training methods
but not from marginal 'barrios' or allowing the typical 'tigueres' to get in as has always been the norm (crime-oriented low class characters have joined the police or military just to get the protection and immunity the uniform provides). Just an idea that will never come to be.

bienamor said:The only way that the situation can be reversed is to punish the corrupt ones, but the good ol boy sentiment is so entrenched that it will never happen!
True. But corruption is such a relative thing. There are enough "less-corrupt" (mainly young) ones to dramatically improve the situation. In fact, that should be the PLD's campaign slogan: "We're markedly less corrupt"; or "we stop at selling our own mothers."MrMike said:There aren't enough non-corrupt officials in the country to recruit or train such a force.
