Cuban police, from the sensible to the gang member

The Cuban police have devolved to the rhythm of the structural crisis of Castroism, from operational serenity and agility to mobs of gang members who exercise excessive violence against citizens; including women and young people, they sell protection to drug traffickers, patrol car parts to the highest bidder, they charge sexual favors to pingueros and jockey girls and they adorn themselves with a rudimentary guapería, which only reveals their great educational and civic deficiencies.

Late Castroism no longer even makes an effort to cover up the lyrics; It only takes advantage of acts of police violence in the United States for its propaganda campaigns, which amplify police brutality and reduce sentences; lest things happen to him like Fidel Castro, who had to improve the food in prisons, especially for his political prisoners, when the Cubans discovered that the five failed spies ate better than them in American prisons.

A prosperous society articulates a sensible police force, respectful of laws and procedures and with the capacity to prevent and reduce violence; A tyranny only manages to bring into uniform functionally semi-illiterates, with marginal attitudes and who have found in the police a way of escape from their poverty and marginalization.

Suffering Cubans, crushed by poverty and the wave of crime it generates, often comment that the police come quickly to erase a sign against the government or to subdue someone who loudly criticizes them, but are slow to go to the scene of a robbery with violence, a femicide, an armed robbery, etc., etc.

Faced with growing citizen complaints, the government adopted propaganda drills in which uniformed men appear returning what was stolen by criminals to the victims; except for the cases of opponents and anti-government activists, who die abandoned to their fate.

Images of police violence against Cubans appear every now and then, but two unfortunate events portray the poor preparation and lack of rigor in the PNR units: the murder of a police officer and the injuries inflicted on two others, while they were sleeping at the Calabazar substation in Havana and the feminicide of a young woman from Camagüey in a police headquarters in Camagüey.

When the Cubans unite in a 11J, the police are seen retreating at supersonic speed and afraid of what may happen the next day; since their only incentives are the salary and the inventions they can make during their work day.

Recently, the oldest dictatorship in the West propagandized that A police officer from Ciego de Ávila rejected a bribe of four million pesos; Unfortunately it is the exception and not the rule. For years, the PNR and the Technical Department of Investigations (DTI) were effective, but the latter has already entered the game, selectively selling protection to organized crime bosses.

Many traffic police usually stop cars rented by tourists, including emigrants, to try to take five or ten dollars from them, under the pretext that it is their birthday; They are not the only ones, doctors from "Cira García" and other dollarized hospitals also do it.

Recently, a little horse (agent on a motorcycle) stopped an immigrant on board a rented car and - after requiring the pertinent documentation - questioned why, being Cuban, he handed over a Spanish passport and driving license; The visitor explained that the vehicle rental contract was related to those documents and that he no longer had a Cuban Identity Card or driving license, although he also had a Panamanian passport.

The police officer didn't think about it and told him: "Okay, but don't act as my passport." Attitudes like these only reveal the wealth of ignorance they possess and their multiple techniques for retail horse riding, in imitation of the large-scale horse riding practiced by the government against Cubans.

Internal order is serious business in most of the world; In Cuba - as in almost all areas of life - it moves on two levels: the harsh street reality and the propaganda of having the fifth best police force in the world, while citizens suffer from the lack of protection with which every open field attacks its victims.
