[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 2385410, member: 1294"] Mexican police start to disarm vigilantes in Michoacán Leaders of the "self-defence groups" have given contradictory statements as to whether they would disarm. The leader of the General Council of the Community and Self-Defence Groups of Michoacan, Jose Manuel Mireles said in a video message from Mexico City - where he is being treated for injuries sustained in a helicopter crash - that he would "heed the call from the interior minister"... But in a subsequent video published on YouTube, Mr Mireles denied he had ordered his group to disarm, saying he could not give such orders without calling a meeting of the group's general council. Other vigilante leaders were adamant they would not lay down arms. Estanislao Beltran who heads a vigilante group in the town of Tepalcatepec said two of his men had been killed amid a tense standoff with federal security forces... "We're here to the death, all of us," he warned. There has been no official confirmation of the alleged killings. Hipolito Mora, who founded one of the first "self-defence groups" to emerge in the town of La Ruana also said that his movement "would continue".
