Whack-a-mole: Tijuana Police Chief Battles Corruption, Cartels

This cop really whacks those moles!

Tijuana Police Chief Battles Corruption, Cartels : NPR: "In Mexico, Tijuana's police chief is known as an enforcer: In his two years as chief, Lt. Col. Julian Leyzaola has purged his force of corrupt cops and returned a sense of safety to the city.

But human rights groups say he has gone too far — even using torture — in his battle against some of the most powerful criminal syndicates in the world.

Leyzaola is a fit 50-year-old with sinewy forearms and a furrowed brow over an intense gaze. He came up through the ranks of the Mexican military and demands military-style loyalty and discipline from his troops." Nov. 22, 2010
