Police on the streets of sorrows

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. People, in general, have little confidence in the National Civil Police. I wish they were as effective combating crime as they are in combating demonstrations, protests, and marches.

On this picture you can see the street’s name on the wall, right above the policemen heads.

    Police need the approval of their master, like dogs (unfortunately).

    The policemen were smiling because one then said to another, “you will be famous now, tomorrow you will be on the front page of the newspapers.”
