September 16th, 2020 Copyright: Esteban Vega La-Rotta for Revista Semana Bogotá, Colombia #HarperCollins, in Colombia violence never stops. Not even when there is a virus killing us. Six months after coronavirus had arrived in the country, the body of Javier Ordoñez, a man pinned to the ground by Colombian police officers who shocked him repeatedly with a stun gun for more than two minutes, and then beated him to death, is mourned in Bogotá. According to the autopsy, Ordoñez died from 40 blows that ruptured his liver. However, he had previously received 13 taser shots that the police officers gave him in the middle of the street and which were recorded on video. Within 24 hours, thousands of Colombians had taken to the streets of Bogotá, in protests against police violence without caring of getting the virus.
