Colombian Army Deploys Black Hawk Helicopter To Throw Smoke Grenades At People

COLOMBIAN ARMY – Tensions further escalate in Colombia as the army deploys Black Hawk helicopters to control the public.

For over a week, Colombia has felt like a warzone. Protests rage as the public call for reforms on tax laws. However, the government continues to push through their plans leaving protesters with no choice but to fight.

Amid the coronavirus pandemic, unemployment rates skyrocketed in Colombia. However, despite the hardships, the government decided to impose a higher tax for basic needs.

Due to this, riots have been going on for over a week with the military having ordered to attack protesters on sight without any repercussions. Additionally, they had also deployed military helicopters to subdue the public, even innocent civilians.

But, much like the public, a Redditor from Colombia said the military and police both get paid less than minimum wage (300 dollars per month). Furthermore he stated:

Most of the soldiers and police officers don´t even get a pension, have access to working healthcare or get paid extra hours. I don´t know how much more they will keep pushing before realizing they are literally being used as pawns.

Here is the video he uploaded showing Black Hawk Helicopters raiding the streets of Colombia:

One Redditor commented:

They’re not, it’s being covered up. We’re going to see these clips for a while then nothing. Remember the Hong Kong protests, what happened with that? Did the CCP explain why they were violating their agreement with Britain? nope.

Still, the fact remains that the tension between the government and the public continue to rise. Moreover, the government refuse to hear out the pleas of the masses amid the pandemic and economic turmoil.
