and don't let it smack your pompis on the way out.
According to a BBC report, some 3200 federal police officers of varying ranks have been sacked - some 10% of the force - for corruption or incompetence. Adios! Of course, many will now probably find work with the cartels, which is little more than a change of uniform since the job is the same.
The federal police force in Mexico has sacked almost 10% of its officers in an effort to combat corruption.
The 3,200 fired officers had either failed to do their job properly or had been linked to corruption or organised crime, said Commissioner Facundo Rosas.
Mr Rosas said more than 1,000 others faced disciplinary proceedings and might also be sacked.
He said none of the officers would be allowed to work in police forces at local, state or federal levels.
More than 4,500 officers have been sacked since May, said Mr Rosas - many had been charged with crimes.
At a news conference, Mr Rosas, said some of officers had been accused by subordinates of having links to drug cartels in Ciudad Juarez, the country's most violent city.
The commissioner said this was only the first stage of a purge of Mexico's forces and that more than 1,000 others faced disciplinary proceedings and may also be sacked.
