Video shows cartel sicarios attempting to assassinate two Mexican police officers, but the cops' situational awareness and quick thinking allow them to not only survive, but turn the tables on the criminal gang.

As the wannabe hitmen open fire, both officers rapidly dive out of the driver side door of the pickup and take cover behind two different vehicles. They hide behind the engine and wheel structure of the vehicles, which doesn't offer a lot of protection but more than any other part of the vehicle.

One of the officers waits patiently for the thugs to run out of ammunition and return to their getaway vehicle. At that point, the cop grabs a rifle out of the truck and lights up the sicarios' vehicle as they speed off.
