Mexican citizens are becoming correspondingly desensitized to such blatant displays of state military power in the civilian realm."<br /><br />Exactly. I am a native of Tijuana who wasliving in San Diego for the past few years, on my return in October I was shocked at the military presence in all aspects of daily life. It's strange when everyone takes for granted ski-masked federal police coupled with armed military patrolling city streets, digging bunkers alongside residential roads, stopping people indiscriminately. Sadly, the preemptive use of military force in a domestic labor dispute is a logical extension of Calderon's modus operandi.Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776621409606485183noreply@blogger.com
