Juárez:  Municipal Police Officer Murdered in His Home

It Gets Complicated:  The Victim Video-Taped a Man Being Tortured by Police

From Diario this morning: A municipal police officer whose name has not been released was shot and killed by armed gunmen who stormed into his home in Los Ojitos last night shortly after midnight.  The officer was a member of an intelligence unit of the police, and apparently had taped a portion of a torture session against an alleged sicario of La Linea.  Readers who wish to see the recording can click here.  The video shows a man being held down by men in municipal police uniforms, with a plastic bag over his head.  At times he is deprived of the ability to breathe.  The video circulated widely in Juarez on social media yesterday.

Mayor Cabada took action yesterday morning to dismiss police officers involved in the torture.  He ordered an investigation and asserted that he did not know these types of practices were being undertaken by municipal police.
