Police on the streets of sorrows

This photo was taken the same day as the previous entry on the Teachers demonstration. It is funny how there never seems to be enough police to combat organized crime and thieves, but they appear out of nowhere to keep teachers, students, workers, farmers, unions, etc. in order.

    [...] You ask yourself, so what is the big deal? Well, if you consider we are talking about a tiny town in the mountain range of Central America, Guatemala to more specific, a third world country, with all the problems in justice, education, public transportation, infrastructure, safety, et-cetera.
