And of course, dozens of innocents are going to get caught in the crossfire. This'll be lovely.

[QUOTE=Killuah;36081469]I think Mexico can take an example in Brazil, mainly Rio.
After decades of war police vs. Facelas, they completely changed strategy.
Rather than fighting criminals, they try to help the people who initially supported/ignored crime by taking certain social choke points and investing a lot of time into micromanaging local problems. Just saw a documentary.[/QUOTE]
The diffrences here make the sort of infeasible. For one, it's not Police V. Gangs, this is Gang V. Gang warfare that's spilling into the public sectory. For another, the gangs have enough financial and military power to potentially manipulate the government once one side wins the war. Finally while things may have worked out well in Brazil when we look at Columbia who had similar issues, it took the near whole dissolution of Pablo Escobar's drug-regieme (including not only "arresting" him, but ultimately having to send special forces to kill him) to put an end to JUST his terror and violence.
This isn't really a thing the cops will fix by just being really good at keeping neighborhoods clean.
And it's not like either side will run low on funding while America gets more 4/20er by the day.
[QUOTE=Garik;36080488]Hopefully they will all kill eachother.[/QUOTE]
They will at the very least cripple each other to a point where they won't have as much power as they do now, thus giving a chance to permanently destroying both of them.
Watched the Extra Credits episode on Call of Juarez: The Cartel today.
And it showed in what a disgusting way the game portrayed (as in the game being a racist peace of shit that simplifies the nature of the conflict and simplifies the partaking sides).
Got me thinking about what an informative and engaging video-game could be made out of the whole conflict if made right.

Which would never happen and would never be taken at face value due to games being for entertainment purposes.
