It's about police brutality in Colombia including in this small country since 2017

40,481 documented cases of physical violence,
639 homicides,
241 sexual assaults,

and harassment of protestors. Some victims are Afro Colombian and some parallels to George Floyd are drawn.

Ick. I stand corrected, apparently. Rob

wait – this is for the entire country of Colombia of 20 some million? What? Hell my city reaches that homicide rate in 5 year clumps.


However I did scan Google hit lists about Columbia and one of them came up with the idea that “inequality “is a very serious problem in Columbia and it ranks number 7 on someone’s “inequality “scale. I also doubt that police enforcers are kind you’re caring there too people of color or people without means.

I have a good friend who lived in Colombia for some years.

He speaks the language. His wife is from Colombia, and has family there. He had great pre-existing government and business contacts before moving from the USA.

He ran a small nice hotel/cafe, and a decent sized cattle ranch.

The corruption, crime, and human rights issues became overwhelming. They now live in Florida.

Is that really much of an improvement?

I suspect that gives you some context as to just how bad it was :-)
