Police brutality: scourge of the Americas 2 minutes read
Los Ángeles/Bogotá, May 11 (EFE).- Violence by police forces is a scourge of societies across the Americas, an apparently incurable social ill that has penetrated much of the continent despite widespread calls for gun control and greater respect for human rights.
Countries such as the United States, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia and Chile have been the scene of episodes of extreme use of force, leaving dozens of victims in their wake.
The root causes of police violence differs across the region: in Colombia, which has lived through decades of uninterrupted civil conflict between the government and various armed drug trafficking rebel groups, armed police and soldiers are a regular sight on the country’s streets.

On 14 August last year, LAPD officers were responding to reports of an alleged burglary attempt when they came upon Daniel Rivera, 37, standing near a ravine. Body-camera footage showed he hopped a fence into the wash, and was lying face down on the ground, largely motionless, as police approached.
Even though he was unarmed and not moving, one officer kneeled on his back, two others handcuffed him, one shoved his face into the ground, and another shocked him with a Taser four times, causing his body to convulse, according to a lawsuit and footage. He appeared to call for help and scream in pain, but officers kept him largely face down for about seven minutes.
