“We’re in a Black Hawk with Mexican police flying over Guadalajara’s Akron Stadium. As Mexico prepares to host four World Cup matches here in June, it’s pulling out the stops on security, deploying thousands more officers and beefing up surveillance. But here in the state of Jalisco, more than 16,000 people are missing or believed to be murdered by drug cartels, individuals, as well as corrupt police officers.
