A federal police looks for the assigned weapon that corresponds to the rural police's identification card before the start of a ceremony in Tepalcatepec, Mexico, Saturday, May 10, 2014. At the ceremony in the town where the vigilante movement began in February 2013, officials handed out new pistols, rifles and uniforms to 120 self-defense group members who were sworn into a new official rural police force. Mexico's government on Saturday began demobilizing the vigilante movement of assault-rifle-wielding ranchers and farmers that had succeeded in largely expelling the Knights Templar cartel from the western state of Michoacan when authorities couldn't.
