Bogota sees third night of anti-police protests

(12 Sep 2020) The third day of protests against police brutality took place on Friday in the Colombian capital of Bogotá, following a lawyer's death under police custody. At least 10 people have been killed in and around the capital since Wednesday when video emerged of officers repeatedly tasering, Javier Ordonez, who begged for mercy and later died. In Bogota, more than 60 police stations have been attacked and, in many cases, torched. More buses were set on fire, and more businesses were looted and destroyed on Thursday. Local media reported that rioters hijacked a city bus and ran over a woman, killing her. There were also clashes in other towns across the country, from the Venezuelan border, to the western coffee growing region, to the Caribbean coast. So far, at least 209 civilians and 194 police officers have been injured nationwide over the last two days, according to the Defense Ministry. The clip of Ordonez being killed was reminiscent of the death of George Floyd during an arrest in Minneapolis in May, which began months of protests across the US.
