I usually don't like bad mouthing my country, but I am outraged. As some of you might know from reading previous post, I am From San Francisco de Macoris. Well just last night a friend of mine got killed by the police right in front of my house. They were looking for a man that killed a policeman and decided that he might be it since to their knowledge he looked like the killer.
As some of you might know, when a police officer (if they can be call that) is killed, the police department starts going through every neighborhood to look for the killer, well I guess it was time for this poor guy, who was actually on vacation for the first time since he moved to Spain.
He was sitting en la galleria (front porch) of the house when the police car passed by. One of them said doesn't he look like the killer and the other one said oh think he does. They drag him out of the house and shoot both of his legs. Then another officer came in and said "Pa' eso matalo" (for that kill him) and shot his head.
Not because he was my friend or anything, but this guy was one of the nicest, educated young man I have ever meet. He was always respectful and by no means was a killer.
I don't even think this can be called police brutality, it goes a lot further than that, I mean didn't they killed Trujillo for doing things like this.
I am tired of this kind of things happening in our country, they did not even asked him anything, and without even knowing anything about this kid they just killed him. This kid was 23 years old; I am so frustrated right now that my stomach hurts.
Am not sure if this is ever going to stop, but it needs to. I am tire of police officers going around killing people, cutting their hair because they are against man having long hair, ripping earrings off because man should not wear earrings and so on. I thought police force was there to protect the public not to kill them or act like judges. I don't even know why we have a justice system, because we surely don't use it.
This is something the government should work on, it's like they are going out recruiting criminals that will kill just for the fun of it. Something needs to be done, hiring educated people, having guidelines for god sakes. It?s like a police man in our country goes out and does what ever they want and nobody can say anything about it and even if they do nothing gets done.
Supposedly police man are put on the street to take out the criminals, I think they are the criminals that should be taken out of the streets.
To tell you the truth I don?t even know what more to say about what should be done about this situation, I can?t even describe my feelings at the moment.
All I know is that there is a 23 year old nice young man is dead right now and that probably nothing will get done about it, how sad.
