    It is common for either:

    A - cartel to dress up to look like police men (commonly recognized through wearing masks over face)

    B - police men to be in cahoots with cartel (iirc this is becoming less and less common)

          (Read the next line with your inner Forrest Gump) And wouldn’t you know it? It worked.
