I liked your photos of the softer side of the policia though.

Excellent post. I am so sorry to hear about all the drug-related murders in Mexico, e.g, mayors who are executed when they stand up against the drug crime bosses.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587300140099806425noreply@blogger.com
