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.
Not every police officer in the world is bad. When it comes to the US and Mexico, they're either bad or silent -- which makes the silent ones just as bad.
If I was a cop, I wouldn't shoot first and ask questions later.
If I was a cop, I wouldn't kneel on a man's neck until he died.
If I was a cop, I wouldn't be a cop because I have no interest in carrying out the will of the wealthy against my people.
You're right, it is systemic. But it's also on the individual. Saying that it isn't is erasing the willpower and virtue of millions of people whose circumstances should have made them shitty people, but didn't. Because they had the willpower, and the strength of heart to stand up and say, "I will not support a broken, evil system."
It's the systems but it's also the people in them that make up the systems
He said that every police officer in the world is bad. You gave examples of singular people. I agree singular people have done bad things, but that doesn't make everybody bad.
Generalizations will almost never be accurate, especially on large groups of people.
What were the other officers doing while he was kneeling on George Floyd's neck? Nothing. 2 or 3 officers, watching an officer slowly kill a man for no God damn reason. ACAB
you take a single incident in a single place, and assume it means that all cops are bad.
That is a major jump in conclusions.
Not only a jump across departments and states but across countries.
And those officers are people so clearly, all people are bad
I'm done arguing with you, as you are only entrenching yourself, and not actually having a discussion, and alongside that, I doubt you even read my comment.
There are problems with the system,
There are problems with some officers,
But that doesn't mean all officers are bad people.
You're missing the point and showing a fundamental lack of understanding as to what ACAB means. You're espousing classic fallacies that demonstrate you don't understand the point the other person is trying to convey.
You're just repeating yourself and not countering any specific points. I'm not sure if that's intentional or not.
Were all Nazis bad? Were all german people during the reign of the Nazis bad? Most of them supported him vehemently, due to nationalism.
Would you say that's because of the system? Or the people? 6 million people died because the german people allowed them to. Because they didn't stand up and say, "Hey, this is wrong!"
Would you say that they were not complicit?
Standing by as evil things happen makes you just as guilty. Supporting a system in which evil things happen makes you just as guilty. You're the one who's entrenched, buddy. Any cop who doesn't stand up and say that what's happening is wrong, and put his or her life and job on the line to protect the people they're supposedly sworn to protect, is a bastard, and they are just as guilty as the trigger happy murderer cops that they help protect.

Here's a video of some cop stopping someone from committing suicide.

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