In the drug-plagued western state of Michoacan, meanwhile, the entire 45-man police force resigned in the town of Purepero on Tuesday, saying their jobs were too dangerous, Mayor Luis Alberto Tellez Pulido said. Soldiers and state police temporarily took over patrolling duties in the town of 25,000. It was the second town in Michoacan to face such a mass resignation in less than a year. In December, all the town officials in Tancitaro, Michoacan, resigned, also claiming their jobs were too dangerous. A month later, a new town government took over and fired the entire police force, suspecting its officers were in league with drug gangs. Michoacan is considered the home territory of the violent La Familia drug cartel, which has mounted several ambush-style attacks on police. http://www.brandonsun.com/world/breaking-news/police-force-resigns-in-mexican-to… http://sportimes.com.mx/portal/images/stories/redesdepoder/redes15eptiembre/renu… added by: ibrake4rappers13
