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.
