"Το κράτος δε μπορεί να έχει καμία ηθική, το μόνο που μπορεί να έχει είναι αστυνομία" - Αλμπέρ Καμύ"Η εξέγερση που ξεκίνησε στις 18 Οκτωβρίου δεν λέει να σβήσει στη Χιλή. Μέχρι σήμερα υπάρχουν περισσότεροι από 6.000 άνθρωποι που έχουν συλληφθεί, 222 άνθρωποι που έχασαν τα μάτια τους λόγω καταστολής, σχεδόν τριάντα θανάτοι, περισσότεροι από 2.400 τραυματίες, εκατοντάδες βασανισθέντες και φυλακισμένοι και δεκάδες άτομα που έχουν βιαστεί από μπάτσους και στρατιωτικούς." - H κτηνωδία της "νομιμότητας" στη Χιλή δεν έχει τέλος - ο κόσμος όμως συνεχίζει να αναπνέει μέσα από τον ξεσηκωμό...
"Cops are not the children of workers, they are the “dogs” of those in power: This slogan which was created and shouted during the
protests of the December Revolt of 2008 in Greece seems to be a universal reality, as depicted in this political artistic performance during a protest in Santiago, Chile, on Wednesday 6 November 2019.
This comes Chile's President, Sebastian Pinera, made the laughable claim that his government has "nothing to hide" over
allegations that security forces tortured protesters and has been responsible for the deaths of at least 20 people, while for weeks now the social media has been flooded with countless photographs and videos of police and army brutality.
Prosecutors also are investigating more than 800 allegations of abuse, including torture, rape and beatings by security forces during demonstrations and one can only imagine that this number is just a small fraction of the actual police crimes committed during
the protests.
We often hear that cops are here to protect us, that they are just working people like the rest of us and when people complain, condemn, defy or react against police injustice and brutality, then they say that, no matter what, the policemen are the ones keeping the peace, the ones that we turn to when something bad happens to us. But the question is would you ask for help from the thug that just broke your jaw for no reason, the one committing torture, raping and beating people up because they (the enemy of the cops) dared to demand justice?
And if -according to the cliche narrative- “not all cops are bad”, then why do the “good cops” tolerate and cover up the crimes of their colleagues? And how come their beatings, the infliction of injuries with their plastic bullets, their batons and their feasts, the asphyxiation caused by their teargas, and the firing of their pistols is considered lawful if you are a riot policeman and you are getting paid to act as a criminal against other people?"
