Law Enforcement in the Colony of Puerto Rico

Police corruption in Puerto Rico is at an all time high. It peaked on Saturday in Humacao when Miguel Caceres Cruz was wrestled to the ground by officer Javier Pagan Cruz and shot to death as two other officers watch. The incident was captured on video and spurred the FBI to start an investigation.

“We have enough information to start that investigation,” said Puerto Rico’s FBI director Luis Fraticelli. He said the bureau will look into “possible illegal acts involving police brutality or the excessive use of force.”

Possible? You can see the incident yourself after the jump. WARNING : It is graphic.

The cop committed a murder; an assasination of a citizen that was not presenting a threat anywhere severe enough to warrant the response from the "killer cop."

The poor man may have stood a chance ( to live ) after being shot several times, as he was still moving and not posing a threat. And still, the cop committed a "coup de grat" by finishing the innocent man off with a shot to the head, when the man clearly posed no threat. How many times has this happened where digital technology wasn't available??

This cop needs to be shot in front of a firing squad, in public, and soon. If not, Puerto Rico is looking ripe for a revolution, as this may be the "hair that broke the camel's back" on top of everything else the PR people have been enduring.
