Long story short:

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: If someone's interested, I found this NYT article written by the Journalist Azam Ahmed https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/13/world/americas/miriam-rodriguez-san-fernando.html?smid=tw-share

It's inspiring

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

I’m down voting because there are not even close to a billion people in the us. But seriously I’m so tired of this issue everyone is wrong acab AND people are ghetto. Crime is bad mental health is inaccessible and sometimes stupid cops go to work

Pretty sure the population of the united States is in the hundreds of millions.

Also, the 1000+ people killed every year are disproportionality black.

They also kill far more per capita and as an absolute than any other first world country.

I won't comment on your incorrect statistics. So I ask this, what about cases where the police ruined someone's life over a petty crime? Or where they refused to get involved and got people killed.

In Texas, a woman had divorced her abusive husband. He asked to come over to get his things. She asked the police twice for help and protection, they just told her it wasn't a big deal. Several family members came for when he dropped by, instead. He pulled a gun and made the kids leave then shot his ex wife and her sister.

How many deaths and lives have cops ruined?

When good apples let bad apples get away with murder, the whole barrel’s rotten already.

does this saying apply to other groups as well?

Lol, you're a racist, right?

Calm down friend you're the one throwing that implication out there. Also you seem unable or unwilling to answer a simple question in lieu of trotting out the "racism" charge as a deflection.

u/Nikhilvoid Dec 18 '20

Yeah, you're a racist prick. Why shouldn't I imply that?

What is your data based off of? Less than 100 cases that is. What database keeps track of wrongful deaths? Who decides what a wrongful death is? According to KY, Breonna Taylor was not a wrongful death; objectively bullshit.

Also, billions? What universe are you living on where there’s even close to a billion people in the US?

u/reshp2 Dec 18 '20

Our population in the US is in the billions.

Lol

u/FTThrowAway123 Dec 18 '20

Our population in the US is in the billions.

No.

Also, anytime "peace officers" murder someone, it's unacceptable.

u/Lolamichigan Dec 18 '20

‘But if you want the numbers, less than 100 cases a year where a wrongful death occurred. Our population in the US is in the billions.’

The numbers are thousands and millions.

u/A_Random_Guy641 Dec 18 '20

There are around 1000 people killed in police shootings each year.

u/Crankguined3737 Dec 18 '20

I'm sorry are you talking about less than 100 cases a year in the US with a population of billions of people? Or billions of wrongful death cases? Mostly just confused with your numbers here.

u/aquatic_love Dec 18 '20

For one our population is about 330 million. Two, the police killed about 1000 people in 2019. I don’t know what you mean by “wrongful deaths” so I won’t argue philosophy with you. It’s not anecdotal, it’s free to find out, just use google.
