In response to this, the police officer on the other side of the phone said, “You got it, sir. I’ll tell the police squads to fall back.” Moreover, the conversation also showed the corruption within the ranks as El Mencho said, “Because all of you happily accept my money. So if you guys want us to be friendly, then you be friendly. I’m so f****** fed up that you guys can’t understand instructions."
