Who is it to Blame for Drug Wars in Mexico

Blame isn't all to the cartel's or the drug lords. Everybody thinks it's the cartels alone but it isn't, who also is to blame is the corrupt cops and government officials. I found this out because i was reading an article and they captured a drug lord from the Juarez Cartel. He said that he was a police officer once before but he got bribed in 2004. " Acosta, who was himself an officer with the Chihuahua state police before he was recruited by the gang in 2004". He also said that officers and government officials would give them information, they give them information about were there was police check points, and military check points, they would also tell them were soldiers would be at. "“[They were telling us] where there were checkpoints, where federal or soldier units were located and even the [location] of ministerial and municipal police,” Acosta said about the government help" Another kind of information they would give them was who was informing or getting bribed by rival cartel, and when they find that person they would get killed. "The suspected gang leader also admits responsibility for the deaths of hundreds of individuals in Ciudad Juárez and the city of Chihuahua. Most of the victims were suspected of working with the Sinaloa cartel. As you see some people are using just the cartels as a scapegoat but it's not all them doing these things.
