Juarez on Monday: Not At All Like Friday

In my posting on Friday I implied the use motorcycle police all over town might signal a strategic shift of resources. It appears I was wrong. I was in Juarez this morning and the motorcycles were gone. Possibly the governor, or a cabinet officer or other VIP, might have been visiting on Friday, accounting for the very heavy presence of motorcycle police all the way through Anapra. This morning I saw a few more patrol vehicles about, and a few more soldiers--nothing like Friday's show of force.
