Police officers stand outside police headquarters after refusing to work in Monterrey
Police officers stand outside the police headquarters in the suburb of Santa Catarina, Monterrey May 24, 2007 after refusing to work, demanding more pay and protection due to increased attacks by drug hitmen. Mexico's poorly paid and undertrained police are often accused of working for wealthy drug traffickers, who corrupt them with offers of "money or death" cash backed by threats of violence.
