TECATE, Mexico - The death of a police officer is generally greeted in Mexico with a knowing smirk. All too often it is assumed the officer in question was playing for both sides in the drug war, which has claimed at least 2,000 lives in Mexico this year.
Mexican authorities suspect police were involved in the slaying, either as the triggermen or the lookouts for hit men. Nobody has been arrested in the case.
