Today we congregated again in the streets of Caracas to protest against the crisis we are currently living. But today it was different. We had more people on the streets. The people seemed exhausted of the government and ready to clash against the police.
The clashing began and people had from rocks to slingshots to fireworks. What we didn't perceive was that the police had weapons under the sleeve. This meaning lethal weapons or better known as guns which are ilegal for use in riots. Today I'll show you proof that Venezuela's government is corrupt and in Steemit there is no restriction or control of social media. The next video will show a police officer pointing and firing a gun against protesters leaving a 17 year old student dead. I recorded the video and I could have been the 17 year old student.
your own thoughts, comments and share.

Damn!
Yep. Insane right?
so you happy to throw bricks and rocks at police - but get upset when they retaliate? You do know that police are people too, with families, brothers, parents, children? Do you realize that? When did it become ok to take out your frustrations on a government on the police?
You are very wrong my friend. First of all, the most corrupt government on the planet is the Venezuelan. The minimum wage is 25$ which it is not enough to sustain for 3 days and when you offer an officer lets say 40$ to fight people in order for them to feed their families they would obviously do it. The problem is they should be protecting the Constitution and the people's rights but they protect a socialist party for their own gains. I understand that we are all humans but do you think a rock is more lethal than a gun? You won't understand since you haven't seen the lives of every venezuelan living in poverty. Please read a little bit more on why we are protesting or just watch winter on fire to see how ukraine defeated the government by taking out their frustrations on the streets.
Who started attacking who? and if you don't like the minimum wage YOU start a business. And you live in democracy, so you vote them out. Have you ever heard, a country gets the government it deserves?
WE DON'T LIVE IN DEMOCRACY. THAT IS WHY WE ARE PROTESTING. You may not start a business in a country where everything is controlled by the government. LIKE CUBA. The biggest companies like Polar cannot produce because the governmet controls the prices of their products and if you don't comply with these prices, the government expropiates your company. You literally don't have bases to discuss this topic. Please read a little bit more.
I am sure the government you have today also threw stones when they where young. Takes a certain kind of mindset. But the fact that you want to hurt someone - but cry when you get hurt, speaks volumes.
We are trying to send a message to the world. Our purpose is not to hurt the police. We want them to serve us and not the corruption. Both sides get hurt, but the deaths are only on our side. Nice talking to you. If you wish, follow me back.
