18 murders per 100K? Roatan has a population of about 30K
No need to read any more if the rest of the post has to do with this ridiculously wrong statistic. BUT I already read it so lets see, "heavily armed"... Honduras is poor, If they had the chance do you think they would turn down the opportunity for police to all have a new glock or S/W, or similar on their side and the long rifles in the trunk of each of their cars as in much of North America. The M16 and AK style rifles you see are old cheap surplus from various prior military happenings, Kind of like local police now having full military gear . You see many in one truck because it is often the one vehicle that is running just as you will often see two police on one small motorcycle, SURE they would prefer to each have their own vehicle, there is NO money.
