Ecuador Lynching

Yesterday or the day before in Valencia, Ecuador, a crowd of hundreds of people lynched two alleged robbers and burned down the police station. After what I've seen and read about in Ecuador, I'm not surprised. There might be some honest, hardworking policemen there, but for the most part, the policemen in Ecuador are corrupt and/or ineffective. Eventually, people will take matters into their own hands if the civil authorities don't make a decent effort to protect them.

It is so wonderful being back in the USA where corrupt cops are the exception, not the rule.
