cops had additionally been harmed. She said that nobody had requested police to take shots

at nonconformists, particularly not in an unpredictable way, however that there was proof

of Javier Ordóñez in Engativá. The video shows Mr Ordóñez stuck to the ground by two cops

in a private road. One of the officials over and over utilizations his Taser on Mr Ordóñez,

who can be heard saying "enough please, enough, no more, please" and "I'm choking". The

officials keep on bowing on Mr Ordóñez and keep on utilizing the Taser. The individual who

is recording the occurrence on his telephone, can likewise be heard begging the officials.

"He's telling you 'please', we're recording you, don't continue... why do you continue

harming him if he's said ‘please’?" the man recording the video says. The exact opposite

thing the video shows is a third official showing up. Mr Ordóñez was taken to a nearby

police post and was at that point oblivious when his companion showed up at the post to

request him. "When I arrived, my friend was practically dead, he was not moving. So I began

to yell at police and told them, 'please help him, let's take him to the hospital'," Juan David

Uribe disclosed to Reuters television. Mr Ordóñez was moved to a neighborhood clinic

less four," she included.

The reason behind Mr Ordóñez’s arrest that night is based on the fact of violation of the

rules of social distancing and drinking in the street. Mr Ordóñez, a dad of two who was

going to graduate as a legal advisor, was associating with companions in his level the

evening of the occurrence. His companions state that when they ran out of liquor, they went

out to load up. They state that on their return they were halted by police who revealed to

them they would be fined for disrupting social separating guidelines and drinking in the

road. It isn't clear how that circumstance finished in Mr Ordóñez being stuck to the ground

and tasered. The video shows a tranquil road and just two different voices can be heard

encouraging the police pleasantly to stop. This incident was met with necessary action from

the higher officials. The outrageous behavior of the police was highly disgraceful. The two

cops have been suspended. Protection Pastor Carlos Holmes Trujillo said there would be an

inward examination concerning the occurrence. The case is likewise under scrutiny by the

investigators' office. President Iván Duque said there would a "rigorous investigation". The

city hall leader of Bogotá, Claudia López, denounced what she called "unacceptable police

brutality" however she additionally asked nonconformists to avoid defacement and

viciousness. "Destroying the city won't put an end to police abuses," the left-wing chairman

said. There has been shock via online media, where the video of Mr Ordóñez being tasered is

by and large generally shared and the hashtag #ColombiaLivesMatter is drifting. Many are

contrasting what occurred with Mr Ordóñez to the instance of George Floyd, whose demise

in police guardianship in the US prompted a rush of fights against police fierceness.

As per Civic chairman López, there have been 137 objections of police mercilessness in

Bogotá this year. Ms López has encouraged the police to research all the grievances. It isn't

the first run through the capital has seen far and wide fights against police fierceness. In

November, a huge number of individuals rampaged in memory of Dilan Cruz, an understudy

who kicked the bucket subsequent to being hit by a shot discharged by revolt police during

an enemy of government fight. Also, in 2011, there was a clamour following a 16-year-old

spray painting craftsman was shot dead by police after shower painting at a scaffold. The

cop behind that shooting was condemned to 37 years in jail in 2016. López censured the

occurrence on Twitter, considering it a case of "unacceptable police brutality," however

asked dissenters to forgo defacing and brutality. "I am absolutely aware that we need

structural police reform," López said. "But destroying Bogotá is not going to fix the police."

In a meeting with Reuters, Ordóñez's family called for equity and quiet dissent. "He was

murdered by the police officers," said Eliana Marcela Garzon, his previous sister-in-law. "We

don't want (deaths) in a country already full of conflict, we want justice." Garzon said police

change is required, particularly for youngsters like her nephews. "I don't want them to grow

up feeling like there isn't justice in this country," she said. "I want them to grow up knowing

laws are followed."
