Heroes: Mexican Photojournalist Braves Drug Crime Wave The New York Times Drug-related violence in Mexico has claimed the lives of some 45 journalists since 2007, but the danger is most acute in the state of Veracruz, where at least nine journalists have been killed in the past year and a half.

The man, Antonio Buehler, says Austin policeman Pat Oborski shoved him against his truck before handcuffing him. Oborski says Buehler resisted arrest…and spit on him. Buehler later found a video recording of the incident made by another witness that appears to contradict the cop’s story. Buehler’s not off the hook, however. Despicable.
