The protests in Colombia demonstrate that this country has a serious police brutality problem. What started as a protest against a tax reform has turned into a full-blown conflict that has left dozens of civilian and police casualties. The Colombian government, led by Iván Duque, has had to withdraw this tax reform. However, the protests continue, this time to denounce the excesses of the Colombian authorities.

It is clear that Colombia is an extremely violent country. Drug lords, terrorist groups and paramilitary groups have forced the state to militarize its police. Now Colombia has to modernize its security forces. But that's more complicated than it sounds. Why does Colombia have so much political opposition to modernizing its police and military? What is the Damascus Doctrine? What is the underlying problem in Colombia's protests? In this video we tell you.
