I can tell you right now that the guy who was killed was not a gang member he was just an average joe. I’m from Humacao. My family knows his family. The cop got aggressive with him and coersed him into an argument with turned physical. The officer had no neeeeeeed to assasinate him.

Once he was down… it was enough!

in PR the “Police” are the biggest and worst gang members on the island. Cops pick on innocent ppl all the time. 1 out of every 5 “unsolved murders” in PR are commited by the cops.

Just cause your related to a cop doesn’t mean that they don’t commit crimes.

Sometimes you have to be from the streets before you comment on what happends on them.

I am very disappointment to heard this about the murder of innocent people. I honest with you that I personality don’t like police it’s because they are dirty justice and not pure. Lord God and Lord Jesus are number one. I am obey to my father above Heaven Lord God and Lord Jesus Christ more than human create the political and science too. Say it, “IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST”. GOD BLESS YOU. Just remember that you can’t have two master of Lord God and the Money. I chose Lord God and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

What happened to Miguel Caceres is horrific! I can’t imagine what state of mind this officer was in when he decided to shoot this poor guy. Don’t they train cops to shoot a warning shot first? I’m happy that the person who decided to keep the camera rolling wasn’t hurt. If people don’t take a stand to show our Goverment Officials what the cops are doing all over the world this cop would have never been brought to “JUSTICE.” I commend the person/s who decided to continue taping, because of you Miguel Caceres killer is in jail with no bail!!!!! I applaud you 100%. As for Miguels family my heart goes out to them and May Miguel RIP….

This is just one incident of what the Puerto Rican people have been dealing with since the United States took over the island on 1898. The individuals who wanted independence for Puerto rico have also been persecuted since the early 1900’s. They were arrested for desiring freedom for Puerto Rico from the United States oppression. Anyone who expressed their rights (freedom of speech, rght to assemble) was arrested and even shot. So the Puerto Rican police in conjunction with the United Statian authorities have violated the rights of the Puerto Ricans. The puerto Rican flag which was created in 1895 prohibited and not allowed to be displayed until 1952. anyone who did so before 1952 was arrested.

What I saw in the video is unimaginable. The Police in Puerto Rico is corrupt and beyond repair. I hope that GOD will judge this man accordingly; but I pray that I would never do something like that. And for the family of Miguel Caceres may GOD bless them.

What the police officer did was fucked-up, but don’t blame the police force. My uncle is an officer in Puerto Rico and he tells me that almost everyday they are shot at by gang members, which take pride in killing officers. I used to live in Puerto Rico and I’ve seen the fucked up shit gangs do to people. By sample in the barrio I used to live in, a man was killed by a gang and they cut the guys body apart and threw his remains in front of his moms house to put fear in the people. ( What if the guy that was shot was a gang member or a gang leader?) Will you think different? Yeah, maybe the cops in Puerto Rico could be mentally disturbed, but they they see a lot of fucked up shit everyday. Oh, and I own property in Puerto Rico, but you couldn’t pay me enough to live in it. Just because of the gangs out in Puerto Rico are cold blooded killers. The officer in involved in the shotting is not related to me. The last name Pagan in Puerto Rico is just like last name Smith in this country.
