Immigrant Woman is Brutally Murdered by Mexican Police alas George Floyd

 


Reminiscent of the murder of George Floyd, Mexican police pinned down to the ground a handcuffed Victoria Esperanza Salazar Arriaz, with a knee on her back. The policewoman used so much force that the woman's back was broken. This begs the question whether U.S. police learned their brutality from lawless societies like Mexico or conversely. In both cases, the police showed no regard for human life. In this case it was a Salvadorian refugee whom law enforcement apparently thinks as deserving of such abuse. In the U.S., African-Americans are routinely murdered by cops simply for being black:

On Saturday, 36-year-old Victoria Esperanza Salazar Arriaza, a Salvadoran immigrant and mother of two, died a brutal and painful death at the hands of police in the Mexican tourist city of Tulum. Her murder was caught on a video which has gone viral on social media.

The horrific footage shows Salazar handcuffed and pinned facedown into the asphalt and screaming as a female police officer forces her knee into Salazar’s back as three male officers stand around her. It is unclear how much time Salazar spent in this position. The video cuts to Salazar’s limp body. She is still handcuffed, and the unaffected officers pick up and heave her limp body onto the bed of their police truck. No resuscitation or medical services whatsoever were attempted on Salazar by the officers.

 


Her body was dumped on a pickup truck. No respect even in death.

Send a Message to GOP Voter Suppression: Drink Coca Cola

Image
  The GOP is hopping mad that major corporations are refusing to go along with their voter suppression laws in Georgia. How dare they criticize their hateful agenda. Coca Cola is one of those companies. Top Republicans are incensed. We should pour fuel on the fire and support MLB (which pulled the allstar game from Atlanta) and Coca Cola. So drink up : A group of eight Republican state legislators sent a letter to the president of the Georgia Beverage Association over the weekend asking to have Coca-Cola products removed from their offices after the company's CEO criticized the state's controversial new voting law. "Given Coke's choice to cave to the pressure to an out-of-control cancel culture, we respectfully request all Coca-Cola Company products be removed from our office suite immediately," the group said in a letter that was obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The beverage giant, which is headquartered in Atlanta and employs about 4,000 Georgians,

Trump supporters discussed how to execute members of Congress prior to Capitol siege

  The evidence is overwhelming that the insurrection on January 6th was planned well in advance. But the architects have not been arrested. We must demand it. The masterminds of the attack on our republic cannot go unpunished: Others argued instead that a guillotine would showcase better symbolism, but lamented over the likely difficulties in transporting such a large blade. The comments are raising serious questions about the intelligence failures of law enforcement in the lead up to the failed insurrection. Although TheDonald.Win is no longer online, cached versions of the comments were collected in a 145-page report by the nonpartisan research group Advance Democracy. Daniel J. Jones, a former FBI analyst and former Senate investigator, told the Post that the report shows just how central of a role the now-defunct forum played in the attack on Jan. 6. “The website, TheDonald, played a far more central role in the January 6th Capitol insurrection than was previously known,” Jones sai

250,000 Americans Died Awaiting the Covid-19 Vaccination

Image
  Much of it is the fault of Donald Trump and the Republicans. But even under Biden the stories of our fellow citizens struggling to get vaccinated are many. Constant searches on online; refreshing of computer screens. This is no way to do it. There was no central place to get information about available centers for vaccinations. There should have been a hotline for people to call and get an appointment. Why force people to scramble to save their lives and the lives of their loved ones. In fact, no computer, no luck : More than 247,000 people have died of COVID-19 in the U.S. since vaccines first became available mid-December. Officials had warned that dispensing enough vaccines to reach herd immunity would take months. And with the initial vaccine supply extremely limited and the virus running rampant across the nation over the winter, it was a sad reality that some would contract COVID-19 and die before they could be inoculated. With surveys showing a large percentage of the U.S. pop
