It looked fairly obvious in the video. M2 mounted technical shooting at the police? Obviously you can’t identify every cartel member on sight. But cut me a break, do not our police and FBI, DEA, etc not already know the identity of many cartel members? Are you saying we are working from scratch and we have no clue who in the US belongs to MS13, Sinaloa, etc?
What I am suggesting is that once we declare a group like MS13 as a organized criminal terrorist organization then we go hunting the known members. Not to arrest but to kill. Some of them even advertise their affiliation I’m told.
And yes I think we do know some of the members of AQ and ISIS, no? Maybe even use spies, drones, electronic surveillance. You know terrorist hunting type stuff. Or is that all new to us?
You seem to like to play the contrarian, but sometimes it gets petty, grasping for something to criticize. Most here are trying to mull around better ideas. The war on drugs is a hugely expensive abysmal failure. And cartels are many times more powerful today than when the WoD started 40 years or so ago. Your ratio of criticism to ideas offered is high side.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry in an address at St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia, on March 23, 1775.
