i assumed you were going to bring this up. a lot of the people who joined the fbi were actually already employed by the united states government in some form of law enforcement, they were already there.

but what i wanted to show you were some numbers.

mexico:

  • 128 million people
    760,000 sq mi
    500,000 police
    1 cop for every 256 people
    1 cop for every 1.52 square miles


united states:

  • 326 million people
    3,800,000 sq mi
    765,000 police
    1 cop for every 426 people
    1 cop for every 4.96 square miles


mexico has practically double the police force per capita and per square mile coverage that the united states does. aside from that, mexico border patrol and full time active military are also used basically as police agents against drug involved persons. when i've been to mexico, i get harassed by the military constantly. they have no qualm with using their military against the population. so that actually means they have even more police units per sq. mi. and population.

but still they fail. corruption, ignorance, plain incompetence. hispanics are about 8 IQ points dumber, on average, than whites... maybe they just cant figure it out and keep throwing numbers at the problem
