The police chief and all 38 police officers of a northeastern Mexican town have quit following a series of drug cartel attacks, including the decapitation of two of their colleagues.
Soldiers, state and federal police had been deployed to patrol General Teran, a town along a notorious drug-smuggling route to the U.S. border, said Mayor Ramon Villagomez.
The police quit after the discovery Wednesday of the mutilated bodies of two officers who had been kidnapped by gunmen two days earlier.
The killings followed three attacks on the police headquarters since December. Gunmen hurled grenades and sprayed the building with machine-gun fire.
Do you see this happening in the good 'ol US of A?
If enough cops get attacked will people quit their law enforcement jobs?
If they do and the national guard comes in, will they just be trigger happy pests in the city?

I haven't seen any evidence of LEOs being attacked more than normal..
Sure there's been a couple of cases lately...But nothing extreme...
Mexico has been ruled by the cartels for decades..
They ARE the law in most parts..
Nothing extreme?? Are you serious?? I would call a man walking into a police station in Detroit and opening fire pretty damn extreme. I can not think of any time where that has happened before.

I'll use simple reasoning that could justify it based on what you said...
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
Authorities are worried a recent wave of police officer shootings may not be a coincidence.
In just 24 hours, at least 11 cops were shot around the country.
The most recent incident at a fugitive's house in St. Petersburg, Fla., left two officers dead and a U.S. marshal wounded Monday. Hours earlier, an Oregon officer was critically wounded after being shot multiple times during a traffic stop.
Monday's violence followed a bloody Sunday that left an officer in Indianapolis critically wounded during a traffic stop shooting, four officers in Indianapolis wounded after a gunman opened fire in a precinct and two more officers in Washington wounded in a shootout in a Walmart parking lot.
"It's not a fluke," Richard Roberts, a spokesman for the International Union of Police Associations, told MSNBC.com. "There's a perception among officers in the field that there’s a war on cops going on."

In Egypt, I saw a tweet about Egypt's
Security Forces have abandoned the streets.
Leaving the Capital open to the approaching
protesters. That's not good for Hosni Mubarek.
