For his part, López celebrated that the Attorney General’s Office has decided to undertake the process carried out by the Police Inspection regarding this case, but requested to resort to a different instance of the Police to decide whether an investigation like this should go to the Military Criminal Justice or not: “We would like to invite that in this reform it is contemplated that the Attorney General’s Office and the Ombudsman’s Office are the ones who make the first filter and determine if a case is of use or abuse. And if it is of abuse, it should not go to the Military Criminal Justice “.

The mayor indicated that Javier Ordóñez’s case is not isolated, because the district administration has records of 137 complaints of police abuse so far in 2020: “Here is a behavior, I would not say systematic, but it is recurring (…) We do not have one, we do not have two, we do not have three. We have at least 137 complaints. “

In this regard, the mayor highlighted what for her is a disparity in complaints, since the command of the Metropolitan Police of Bogotá reports that it is only processing 38: “It is frankly incomprehensible that at the human rights table, in which the Police has participated since January, we have been talking about 137 cases for nine months and, however, when the Police are called to account (…), they tell us to has knowledge of 38 “.
