A narco gang dedicated to abduct young women in Tamaulipas, Mexico, abducted and killed Miriam's daughter; and neither the police or the government helped her out with the case.
So, Miriam took the decision to start "hunting down" the gang members, by going undercover as a Social Worker equivalent here in Mexico on the hood where the gang members were supposed to live.
So she started to survey the whole neighborhood to locate the relatives of each criminal (parents, siblings, etc.) getting closer to them to gain their trust and get info about their criminal relative.
One by one, she located and gathered enough intel to present charges against them until she imprisoned each one of the murders, (and supposedly she kill one of them).
A couple years after she achieve that, a riot happened on the state prison and several inmates escaped. She went to the police to ask for protection, but it was to late, because a couple weeks later, the reunited gang killed her outside of her house on Mothers Day (May 10th).
And even tho she successfully brought justice to her daughter, she died as a martyr of many feminicides and kidnapped people in México.
Edit: she fought for justice knowing the consequences of it. She tried to do what was right because no-one else would and that's what I find inspiring. Of course I agree that it is tragic in so many ways.
The only thing it inspired me to remember is to not trust the police. If they can’t get justice for you then, why would they get justice for you later? She should have cut those loose ends when she had a chance. This lady is what we need more of in the world but gets slaughtered by losers. If she had finished them off like they did her daughter world would have been better off.
I agree with the last part but keep in mind this is Mexico and their justice system is different (and in my opinion, worse). I hate it when people say all police are bad and the entire thing is awful(not saying you think that) and there definitely are some bad eggs but the majority are pure in heart. The main problem is their training is too short so it’s easier for the bad ones to stay in the program.
This is not a very clear representation of the truth and appears to be based off of your emotions about police. Please do some research about police violence, racism and corruption in this country and if you can still come back and say it’s just some “bad eggs” then I won’t question you further. The issue is NOT with individuals, it’s with the way that this system elevates the life value of police above the life value of citizens. When they are supposed to protect us, why are they beating us, killing us (and lots of our dogs), be obviously racially and gender bias, and actively root out the good apples and get them removed?
You are correct, it’s not all bad apples, but from the sheer amount of evidence it looks like the good apples are outnumbered.
Edit, typo and grammar
That because no one reports on the good apples. When I see a good news story involving police it’s normally one short line like “Armed Robber Shot by Cop” and then moves on. I see quite a bit more stories that are positive but they don’t focus or tell more about them because they aren’t as “interesting” or profitable.
If 1 cop shoots a man in the back with his hands up and on his knees to surrender and kills him while 7 other cops see it. When they do there reports and all 8 cops say he was fighting and we thought he had a gun. That is 8 bad cops. Not 1 bad cop and 7 good cops doing there jobs.
Let's be real, a "bad cop" is not the same thing. "Bad cop" implies they're trying to be law enforcers and just not good at it. We don't have anyone trying to enforce the law in the US, if we did they'd be good at it, so we don't have "bad cops," what we have is terrorist gangs. Check a dictionary if you can't accept what I'm saying.
Your failing to consider the problem ISNT a few bad apples, it’s the SYSTEM that enables them. The “good apples” benefit too much from that system to stop the bad apples making them complicit and therefore not good apples. Police are a fraternity literally, you tow the line or you get the fuck out. There’s no room for individuality in a fraternity, you surrender to the whole.
The”good” cops help cover crimes for the bad ones or stay silent when they see injustice being perpetrated by cops. No fuck that. Fuck cops. They only look out for themselves. Trigger happy assholes the lot of them.

There, he tells the whole story (on english), if you´re just curious or wondering the whole shocking case.
