After units of the CTI of the Prosecutor’s Office arrived at the CAI of the Villa Luz Police in Bogotá, where the two policemen involved in the alleged murder of the lawyer, Javier Ordóñez, were lending their service, a group of protesters attacked the uniformed men with stones and sticks.
The CTI commission was trapped in the place by the misfits who, enraged, undertook it against the vehicle of the Prosecutor’s Office and the CAI facilities. Although Police units had arrived to protect the officials, the number of attackers also increased exponentially.
It was necessary to deploy Esmad units, which at this time are confronting the protesters to try to contain the disturbances and destruction in the place.
Immediately, dozens of people with megaphones and banners surrounded the Immediate Attention Center, so it was necessary to deploy more police units to protect the officials who work there.
In a video, published by Blu Radio, two patrolmen are observed to use force with the man, who was already reduced on the floor of a public road and asked: “Stop, please.”
In the same radio medium, Colonel Alexander Amaya, operational commander of the Metropolitan Police of the capital, detailed that a quadrant of the town of Engativá received a call to report a fight and that was the reason why the patrolmen went to the place .
“Upon arriving at the site, there are about eight people arguing and everything seems to indicate that with the intake of intoxicating beverages. It is about dissuading these people, but they become aggressive against the Police ”, she assured.
According to the colonel’s version, “some of these people were taken to the CAI and at that moment, one of them presented discomfort in his physical health and was immediately transferred to the nearest medical center, where he unfortunately arrived without vital signs.”
The operational commander added that the Police Disciplinary Affairs Unit will open an investigation to clarify the facts. Likewise, the CTI of the Prosecutor’s Office is also conducting the respective investigation.
Duke condemned the fact
President Iván Duque condemned on Wednesday the events in which the 46-year-old lawyer Javier Ordóñez died after a controversial police procedure and emphasized that there must be “zero tolerance” with cases of abuse involving officials of the public force.
“All of us as a society must demand zero tolerance with the abuse of human rights by members of the public force,” he said emphatically on Wednesday afternoon in the midst of the commemoration of National Human Rights Day. As they have earned that place in the hearts and admiration of the people, we have to be clear that there can be no tolerance when the uniform and authority are abused, “said Duque.
