Jon Benjamin, the British ambassador to Mexico, has been dismissed from his post after a video surfaced showing him pointing an assault rifle at a local embassy employee. According to the Financial Times, the incident occurred during Benjamin's official trip to Durango and Sinaloa, areas known for strong organized crime groups. The video was released on social media by an anonymous account, leading to Benjamin's prompt removal from his position in April.
