It's long been known the police force in PR is abusive and mostly corrupt. There are a few good apples but as for most its best to just avoid them and say yes sir, no sir when answering.
An incident happened in PR on Aug 12th that was caught on video. This is the supposed back story before the video starts---It was recorded at a 15 year girl's birthday party. Story is 3 cops (1 female and 2 males)pulled up to order some of the people to move their cars off the sidewalk and one car that was double parked, mind you this is a quiet side neighboorhood street where basically everyone that lives there is at the outdoor party which is taking place at the house and on the street in front. (they are not affecting the flow of traffic cause the street deadends further up. The cops were just there to fuck with people. Anyway the cops are shoving and giving people a hard time and one of the guests (I believe the uncle of the girl) said something about the police and they should leave them alone, the female cop heard it and tells one of the male cops he just insulted you. She and male cop #1 instigate male cop #2 saying he was being disrespected. male cop #2 starts walking toward the guy and the guy starts to back away trying to avoid the cop (this is where the video starts) the cop chases him to the other side of the street and then starts to beat on him. In the background you can hear people screaming "abuser" and "Hey whats that for" - when the cop starts beating him.
In the scuffle the cop's gun seems to go off in its holster shooting the cop in his own foot.
the cop then gets off the guy who is lying face down pulls out the gun shoots the man once in the back of the leg then in the back of the shoulder as the guy is lying face down on the sidewalk, then pauses carefully takes aim and shoots him twince in the back and once in the neck, then pauses once for for about 3 seconds, reaims and shoots the guy on the ground once more in the back of the head - execution style.
As the other 2 cops do nothing and in fact run away when the first shot goes off.
Afterward the 3 cops get in the car and just drive away not even calling in the shooting or asking for medical help.
Caution the video not graphic (no blood) but its very disturbing.

UPDATE***
Investigation so far has revealed:
The victim was handcuffed during the struggle.
The all the cops involved have prior charges of abuse, but had been later reviewed as "justified" and not excessive" (yeah.... right)

thank god the investigation is being taken over by the FBI or this would totally be swept under the rug.

A news station was doing a frame by frame analysis and they dont think the cops gun went off accidently, in the video at 47 seconds it appears a bystander shot the cop. It appears the man in the stripe shirt pulls somthing from his wasteband and then about 3 seconds later from off left side of the screen where the stripe man would be standing you see a hand appears and a puff plus shot noise.
Still doesnt excuse the execution, but ithink the cop thought the victim had shot him, and then decided he was going to kill him for it.
