Milton Morales Figueroa reportedly killed by gunmen while enjoying a family day out

Mexico City’s head of intelligence and police operations has been gunned down in an apparent drug cartel hit.

Milton Morales Figueroa, 40, is reported to have died instantly in a hail of bullets in the town of Coacalco, just north of the Mexican capital, on a family day out on Sunday.

He was hit at least twice in the head when gunmen jumped out of two SUVs with darkened windows which had suddenly pulled up as the police commander and relatives stopped at a small supermarket in a residential street. Two other people were reportedly injured. One is thought to have been a bodyguard and the other a family member.

      Like, we go bomb the shit out of them and keep the country in limbo long enough for the power vacuum to be filled with a couple of larger terrorist groups?

      What’s the “Iraq treatment”? The U.S. spending a trillion dollars to create enough instability for something like ISIS to emerge?
