The colombian police was trained to go to war against the different guerrillas, paramilitaries, and narco groups. Also a consequence of the failed war on drugs and the cold war. We, as a country need a profound reform in our armed forces, or at least the police because sadly, the war continues, and the Colombian state is indeed in need of a capable army, mostly because the narcos and guerrillas are, in most cases cold blooded killers. Shit's too complex and it makes being Colombian a constant of stress and deception.
They had to become cold blooded killers bc Colombia genocides indigenous and afrolatinos and USA knows damn well about the false positives by Colombia military, they murder indigenous and afrolatinos that are innocent then tells USA they were drug dealers while letting actual narcos live, Colombia military admitted it and USA gave them 54 million a week later and just like Mayan genocide, USA trains them in USA and makes them believe all indigenous people are communist bc they're still trying to stop the browning of the Americas, 85% of CIA intervention victims are indigenous while only 8% of Latin America population. These people are usually fighting narcos for their land too.
The US doesn't have money for healthcare but when it comes to Colombia's police force, the sky's the limit! Edit* It has been brought to my attention that I misspelled Columbia. My apologies. Fixed that for everyone. But the point remains the same.

That's because our corporations exploit poorer countries for cheap resources. Authoritarian governments in target countries are easier for corporations to get good deals in? You just have to bribe the correct officials. ... Healthy democracies generally want a fair deal for all their people? Which means a worse deal for the big corporations. Less profit.
I'm sorry but weren't these police forces trained ages ago to fight the Colombian drug trafficking? Pablo Escobar and all? Back when Colombia was almost a failed state and could not combat it's drug kingpins on it's own?

Contrary to the US a militarized police force in Columbia actually makes sense because they have to deal with extremely well armed cartels and terrorist organizations. The problem is that they aren't trained on how to deal with normal citizens using their basic democratic right of protesting.
Many rural fire departments have miltary trucks. I guess fire departments are miltarized. Oh, and police have always been, everywhere in the world paramilitary organizations.
Its a good thing. Colombia is a warzone and need these cops to be hot headed. They need to make it like brazil. Shoot every bad guy and not bother arresting

Although the government responded with way too many force in a few cities, these protest have also often derived into pure vandalism and a pre-campaign leftist political opportunism. Closing main national highways, cutting the entire economy and communication isn't a protest, but rather terrorism, our economy has suffered greatly because of this mixed with g pandemic; having urban guerrillas train children to join the riot isn't humanism, it's populism and adoctrination. Having violent football hooligan groups or rather gangs to join the riot and destroy public and private spaces is just a way to tempt law enforcement to respond with force and then make propaganda on how these young boys where being maltreated by the police. The use of force in 70% of the cases was truly necessary.

10 or 20 protesters killed by the police in several months of protests by thousands and thousands of protesters , does not make this number of killings something systematic. Nevertheless Colombian police are brutal with many detained people “they don’t like” , I know that because I am Colombian and lived there for many years . Still, nevertheless once more , I do believe what the executive director for Human Rights Watch said, that abuses by the police are systematic, because he IS a neutral observer as far as I am concerned, and not some ignorant journalist sent to report on human rights abuses in some 3rd world country he was sent to report on , and which he knows nothing about.
@@bernardotorres2532 yes and no. It's good that you recognize police brutality. But there were far more killings, disappearances, sexual abuses and human rights violations during the protests than 20 people, and reports of such acts were practically given from each hot spot, every couple of days during the demonstrations. These are not the only instances in which the Colombian police has been involved in brutal acts for political purposes, with political support and with paramilitary assistance throughout history, so these events are not isolated and, again, repeat regularly in each phase of the Colombian history. Besides, at least during the current year, those have not been the only killings in the country for political or economical purposes. The only thing that changes is the one pulling the trigger because of the amount of violent actors present in this conflict, either legally or illegally involved. Though both selective and indiscriminate killings, sexual assaults, 'falsos positivos' and forced displacement do happen on a regular basis and following goals explicitly stated by those who carry them out.

I feel bad for the people who are protesting having to be beaten down like not even human by security forces and they president do nothing to give them the Justice they deserve.
So incredibly sad and he deserves justice! No one deserves to be treated like and that especially by a public servant. They should get just penalty and more because they should be held to a higher account. Absolutely disgusting!
Foreign friends, know something: in Colombia the armed forces of the State are mainly armed arms of drug trafficking. After Pablo Escobar, the cocaine business in the country was reconfigured since a part of the country's drug trafficking groups reached political representation with Alvaro Uribe Velez, one of the most protected criminals in the country and one of the allies to the interests of the United States in the region. He along with his political entourage are the political representation that the Medellin Cartel always wanted; Thanks to him, drug trafficking managed to penetrate the Colombian State. Do not think that by "fighting" with the FARC guerrillas he was fighting against drug trafficking, no. It was a group of drug traffickers fighting against another group of drug traffickers to divide up the logistical routes and control the supply of cocaine. In conclusion, the US paradoxically finances the war on drugs by financing drug traffickers.
Y'all we are literally living hell on Earth! It's time to get right people! Keep our houses in order clean your rooms your closets get all those dusty skeletons out! Honestly I am a proud American but right now I feel as if America is laughable due to our lack of governing! It's really sad because the American dream used to be somebody's Utopia now it's all of our dystopia.
America just makes things worse wherever they go- in Colombia, in Afghanistan, in Vietnam and more. Trillions of citizens' money spent and things left worse than where they were before. The world should just reject US "assistance" not just for their own countries' benefit, but also for the poor US citizens being deprived and left to suffer homelessness and poverty.
More documentation and investigations are needed. If the police will not be forthright than they need to be investigated by some other agency or organization.

Cause who will stop him. That is the answer. Protest have been happening for a while in Colombia. It's alot better than the past. Yet this and other stuff like this still happen.
Because Colombia is in an internal war. That's why the National Police is under the command of the Defense ministery. We need to have a militarized police force to deal with all of this.

But there were far more killings, disappearances, sexual abuses and human rights violations during the protests than 20 people, and reports of such acts were practically given from each hot spot, every couple of days during the demonstrations. These are not the only instances in which the Colombian police has been involved in brutal acts for political purposes, with political support and with paramilitary assistance throughout history, so these events are not isolated and, again, repeat regularly in each phase of the Colombian history. Besides, at least during the current year, those have not been the only killings in the country for political or economical purposes. The only thing that changes is the one pulling the trigger because of the amount of violent actors present in this conflict, either legally or illegally involved. Though both selective and indiscriminate killings, sexual assaults, 'falsos positivos' and forced displacement do happen on a regular basis and following goals explicitly stated by those who carry them out.
@@erguismartinez1031 Yes , I am Colombian but I have not lived in Colombia for many , many years, and yes, I know that what you are saying is true.

Endless gratitude for your hard work exposing the human rights violations committed by Colombian authorities!
Reminds me of the my country. We've gotten used to corrupt officers and human rights abuses. I just want to graduate, go to college, work my ass off, then work abroad in Canada.
@Your God My aunt worked abroad in canada. She says all seems peaceful. She got married and had a peaceful life. All in all pretty good.
Very peaceful here
Watch out for "rogue" police. They might assault you.

I am Colombian I have been leaving outside of Colombia for a while now and Everytime I see a police officer in any country I am immediately afraid.
Where ever U.S.A go it's Chaos
US foreign policy in a nutshell
Its almost like throughout time world super powers meddle in the affairs of other countries to keep power. Its almost like dynasties of every kind throughout history try and hold on to their power. Its almost like since agriculture was created thousands of years ago the person with the most land kept control of the lesser landowners because he didnt want competition. Its almost like humans do this no matter what age, nationality, religion, or type of rule throughout human history. God thats crazy.
@@aliadroendriaste5527 I know right? I hear Russian or Chinese foreign policy is composed of puppies, sugar, and hugs. Im not stupid enough to believe that American exceptionalism is real or that America doesnt have its share of serious issues, but if you think the world will be more stable with China as the worlds sole super power I think you are using some seriosuly flawed logic.
Same exact situation in Honduras. Same. Same same same. US funded police KILLING people, with impunity. Been going on for years.
"The police have concluded their investigation on the police and have found no evidence of wrong doing and that they also deserve a raise and 2 weeks paid vacation during Carnival your honor"
Ever heard of israel army that also funded by the us
Everyone knows
And Zetas or now the northeast cartel
The U.S. needs to step up and put pressure on this injustice.
Their police must've learned from ours
😉😂🤣Exactly! We taught them well. 😢They grow up so fast 🤧
Does your police dismember protesters and throw them into the rivers? That is exactly what happens here.
@@clarainesrodriguezmedina5032 No they just pistol whip black people for no reason th-cam.com/video/ntyexFKr2MY/w-d-xo.html
Nah they've been the elites guard dogs since forever, sure they hav financing and equipment from the US, and learn new ways of being cruel, but is not like they were turned from a competent and respectful force into this by the US
I see it across the world that the police needs to be reinvented into something better. This is getting too old and becoming normal.
It's the difference between hunting for crimes to be a hero (usa) and helping the community to prevent crimes with civilian input (eu)

Oh my god. The shot on the phone of that bystander of the victim (Elvis) bloody all over at the police station was so frightening.
- There are people who want the government and the police to fall, regardless of the suffering of the Colombian people.
- There are people who defend the government and the police, regardless of the suffering of the Colombian people.
- There are people who want the Colombian people to stop suffering and aspire to a better life.
I am in the third group.
This is stupid to say, of course everyone wants the third one, the way you phrased it all makes it obvious to pick the third one.
@@c0ltz450 theory and practice differ quite a bit, people who say they want the third party will always look for ways to justify the unjustifiable, whether it is the acts of the protesters or what the police and the state do.
WHAT IS . . . THE US GOVERMENT ?
@@guadalupevasquez8964 Yes, but there is no way to fulfill the third groups wants without crossing the lines with the first or second group, making what you said not justifiable.
This is a war, the government against the people. How can there be a war without suffering ?
I'm always dumbfounded when politicians asks the people who does the crime to investigate themselves.
Makes sense that they were trained by US police
Yeah but this journalist doesn't provide proof. Just psuedo journalism. Hearsay.
Police violence against citizens in Columbia is essential to US national security.
Why is it essential
Fear nothing Colombia UN will Help like they help Myanmar.. oh Wait....
Clearly someone should follow the cops home from their shift and do their patriotic duty and take care of them one by one
is there a gofundme for a private paid lawyer?
Went to Colombia, what a beautiful place with beautiful people.
I noticed the corruption everywhere.
Had a vehicle stop and search (drugs) everybody on the coach had to hand over their C.C (Id cards) but me being foreign they left me alone, kept arguing with the nationals.
This is what happens when you can’t run a piss up in a brewery (USA)and you try to help another country with theirs.
I feel bad for the people who are protesting having to be beaten down like not even human by security forces and they president do nothing to give them the Justice they deserve.
They laughed at my people but here we are
Let's not forget the 2020 definition of "Protestor" includes rioting , arsonist , looter and murderer.
When you have the same minister responsible for both militaty and Police matters it couldn't really go in any other way.
Notice how the minister said security forces not police.
So incredibly sad and he deserves justice! No one deserves to be treated like and that especially by a public servant. They should get just penalty and more because they should be held to a higher account. Absolutely disgusting!

If I read United States & any South American country in the same sentence, it never ends well.
I hope more see this. Incredibly sad.
Foreign friends, know something: in Colombia the armed forces of the State are mainly armed arms of drug trafficking. After Pablo Escobar, the cocaine business in the country was reconfigured since a part of the country's drug trafficking groups reached political representation with Alvaro Uribe Velez, one of the most protected criminals in the country and one of the allies to the interests of the United States in the region. He along with his political entourage are the political representation that the Medellin Cartel always wanted; Thanks to him, drug trafficking managed to penetrate the Colombian State. Do not think that by "fighting" with the FARC guerrillas he was fighting against drug trafficking, no. It was a group of drug traffickers fighting against another group of drug traffickers to divide up the logistical routes and control the supply of cocaine. In conclusion, the US paradoxically finances the war on drugs by financing drug traffickers.
Y'all we are literally living hell on Earth! It's time to get right people! Keep our houses in order clean your rooms your closets get all those dusty skeletons out! Honestly I am a proud American but right now I feel as if America is laughable due to our lack of governing! It's really sad because the American dream used to be somebody's Utopia now it's all of our dystopia.
how can you be a "proud american" ? really?
There isn't a lack of governing, there is waaaayyy too much governing, that's what's causing hell on earth
@@Da808Boii You can be a proud American without approving what your government does
Always what the police do but never what the protesters did to get that treatment
Asking the police to investigate themselves is like asking the wolves to guard the henhouse....
For once I could trust the wolves lets not insult nature bro
is called an oxymoron
What's it called when a group of people in the same colours go around the neighbourhood commiting violent acts? Gangs or police???
IN MEXICO THEY ARE CALLED PORROS.
Offer your prayers as much as you can. It is easy to feel helpless at these times.

America just makes things worse wherever they go- in Colombia, in Afghanistan, in Vietnam and more. Trillions of citizens' money spent and things left worse than where they were before. The world should just reject US "assistance" not just for their own countries' benefit, but also for the poor US citizens being deprived and left to suffer homelessness and poverty.

More documentation and investigations are needed. If the police will not be forthright than they need to be investigated by some other agency or organization.
I blame America for everything bad in my life. And that’s a lot of blaming.
Comments like this whether trolling or not are not only an exaggeration but also takes away from the real mess the US have caused because people will assume everyone criticizing them are exaggerating.

Colombia needs a constitution and a second amendment equivalent
Yeah because a constitution always solves everything
Nothing solves everything but it would be better for the people if they could at least legally defend themselves wouldn't you agree?
@@Paulito941 there is no *legal* way to use violence, the state always corrupt the justice system, do you really think that even americans are protected because of the constitution? The only way out of this is to take the capacity of goverment to have acess to income.
@@miranda9691 no legal way to use violence? People do it all the time its called self defense
And there are conservatives who will find a way to defend this. They do this with black people all the time.
I'm a conservative and I think this is fucked.
amateurs are better at solving crime than the professionals.
the next big issue is why does the same person have control over the military and police? thats fucked
Cause who will stop him. That is the answer. Protest have been happening for a while in Colombia. It's alot better than the past. Yet this and other stuff like this still happen.
Cities themselves don't even have their own police
Because Colombia is in an internal war. That's why the National Police is under the command of the Defense ministery. We need to have a militarized police force to deal with all of this.
I blame both protesters and police brutality. If it weren't for them, we would be still having a good time in peace and good future
Understandable, thry are just gonna stay quiet and not fight for their rights. Letting the abusive police and government do their bad work

They wanted to impose a massive tax reform that would even tax fucking funerals when everybody was broke by the pandemic, you wanted people to just silenty kneel and get fucked in the ass by the government?

Everyone is so quick to blame the us when it’s Colombians own government causing these atrocities, blaming the us will definitely help Colombia’s issues right?
I think it is a click-bait headline that does nothing good for the debate. I hate police violence, but this time it has nothing to do with US. It is an domestic conflict in Columbia. Best regards from Copenhagen, Denmark

If you genuinely care about how the police should handle things why did your first thought go to BLM? What about all the other extremists groups like the capitol hill riots where police were a lot softer than they were against BLM protesters? Yet you decided to comment about BLM on a video that has nothing to do with BLM. This only just shines a light on your insecurities.

What does Colombia have that the US needs so much, they're willing to start wars for it?😂😂
