Terrorist mobs have destroyed <a href="https://www.eltiempo.com/bogota/vandalos-nos-amenazaron-con-quemarnos-la-casa-586349" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">25 police</a> emergency response stations in Bogotá, Colombia, alone as of Wednesday night in a spate of violent attacks nationwide. Eyewitnesses say the assailants were attempting to burn police officers alive and, in some cases, succeeded in setting them on fire.<br />
<br />
Colombia is in the midst of what leftist movements are calling a “national strike” against the government, police officers, and authority in general. Some unrest began last week in response to conservative President Iván Duque proposing a large tax hike on most of the country, claiming it necessary to combat the negative economic effects of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. Widely panned by a bipartisan coalition that including the head of Duque’s party, former President <a href="https://www.semana.com/economia/macroeconomia/articulo/los-duros-reganos-de-uribe-al-gobierno-por-la-reforma-tributaria/202111/" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Álvaro Uribe</a>, the tax reform failed to pass and Duque <a href="https://www.france24.com/es/am%C3%A9rica-latina/20210502-reforma-tributaria-colombia-duque-retiro" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">announced</a> Sunday he would no longer pursue it.<br />
<br />
The end of the tax controversy did not stop nationwide protests, however, which turned violent when radical leftists organized on Saturday, a Marxist holiday known as International Workers’ Day. Far-left unions and syndicalist groups have insisted on continuing the “national strike” despite no longer having a political goal or concrete objective. The calls for more protest have resulted in roving mobs attacking police stations, public transit stops, hotels, banks, and civilian residential property in the capital as well as large cities like Cali, Medellín, Barranquilla, and Cartagena.<br />
<br />
Photos of the daytime protests preceding the nighttime mob violence show little indication that those involved are concerned about tax hikes. The English-language acronym “ACAB,” or “all cops are bastards,” has become a rallying cry for “protesters.” Many openly advocate attacking and killing police. Also common are offensive depictions of police officers as pigs.</div>
