A police officer in Mexico prevents someone's suicide attempt, on a bridge, with no safety equipment.

Most police do good. You only hear about the bad ones because they get more views.

Definitely not the case in Mexico..

Lived in Tijuana 5 years and I was WAY more afraid of the police than the cartel or any local gangs.

Ahh, Mexico had to completely reform their federal police department cause it was so corrupt that literally there was no point in it. Also, it should be pointed out that one time mexican police caught a criminal, and the gang the criminal was linked to told police "release him or will kill you till you do' after multiple murders police released him. If that shit was done in the US, the Marshals would be dragging those gang members out "hubbled"/hog tied and you will see why they are known as the blood hounds of American law enforcement. So, while maybe one or two police officers are good, the entire thing is the last place we should ever take an example from on how a police department is ran.
