The authorities reported acts of vandalism by a group of people protesting in southern Cali for the death of lawyer Javier Ordóñez in the Santa Cecilia neighborhood, in the town of Engativá, in Bogotá, in the middle of an act of police brutality.
Around 6:00 in the afternoon, in the Pan-American park, known as Las Banderas, in Cali, a concentration began to request that the death of the lawyer be investigated in the Colombian capital.

Some of the protesters spread out in the park and some put signs on the façade of the Police Integrated Attention Command (CAI), installed at one end of that public space, on one side of Fifth Street. A motorcycle belonging to the institution was also allegedly vandalized.
Then, a crash started in which a massive MIO integrated system bus was the subject of messages like ‘Wake up Cali’.
In a video you can see when two young people climb on the roof of a Masivo bus. Mobility was paralyzed on La Quinta, one of the busiest roads for public and private vehicles.
At the top they unfolded a parade: ‘The Police everywhere, justice nowhere’.
Then the situation became critical when there were clashes at the intersection of Fifth and 34th Street and there were detonations. Around 8:30 in the evening, several people were racing on the Andes and the roads.
The MIO transportation system had to interrupt several of its routes through that section and resort to detours both in its routes from south to north and from north to south.
