  7. The military go for the gas tank, but these may have been real narcos, when the police do the killing and murder everybody in the car it usually is innocent people, women and minor suspects, some are 1 or 2 year olds in the 'comboyes' ambushing the police "officers" that get killed, see the difference when da police pick on somebody their own size? They even hide the confusing news the downed choppers, their casualties, heheheee...the former soldiers working for the cartels don't lose their cool nor their turf so easy
