Women confront military police officers as they gather to show their support for the presence of the Community Police of the FUSDEG (United Front for the Security and Development of the State of Guerrero), during clashes in Petaquillas, on the outskirts of Chilpancingo, in the Mexican state of Guerrero February 6, 2015. Approximately 500 members of the Community Police from the FUSDEG took control of the security of Petaquillas on the night of January 30 at the request of the people tired of the actions of organized crime, local media reported. Based on the traditional indigenous justice system, the Community Police is made up of volunteers from different communities of Guerrero, and was created in response to the spate of violence in several locations in the state. The villagers demand the release of two community police officers who were arrested on the morning. (Photo by Jorge Dan Lopez/Reuters)
