Female Police Chief Murdered in Mexico

[Cigar Cowboy]

Hermila Garcia, 38, was shot on her way to work Monday by a convoy of gunmen. Garcia, a trained lawyer, took the job as police chief on Oct. 9 in the town of Meoqui, in drug violence-ridden Chihuahua state.

The assailants intercepted her in the town of Los Garcia, some 10 kilometers from Meoqui around 7:20 a.m. Monday. Garcia was in charge of up to 90 police agents in a mostly agricultural region of the Chihuahua state, some 70 kilometers south of Chihuahua City, the capital of the state.

They really need to clean house down there. There would be blood spilled on the streets. But just clean out the cartel.

Why didn't she believe in security? She lived by a saying "If you don't owe anything, you don't fear anything" Thats fine and good if you live in a civilized community, not when your a top cop, with a bulls-eye on your back in the middle of an archery contest? RIP

Actually I called the 20 year old, who is still alive, but dead woman walking. She'll be dead or on the cartel payroll before the end of 2011. Of course I hope I am wrong, but this recent murder just proves it does not matter if you are a man or woman.

That's one job I wouldn't apply for. It would be hard for any police force to stop a convoy of gunman, who are better armed. There will have to be some military involvement, and even then, it will be hard to stop. Too much money is involved for the drug runners, and when you don't have anything to live for, dying isn't a concern.
