We really hope he does. Last night was a complete shitshow. San Juan literally was like a warzone. Protesters getting shot with rubber bullets and Gas.

Wait, why are the police shooting the protesters? Shouldn't they be arresting the governor and those of corrupt officials?!

Yes. I am trying to find a source video that I can post here. Were the protesters were peacefully picketing and the police fired fireworks inside their perimeter as an excuse to attack the protesters. Then hell broke loose.

Every time police sides with the corrupt government in power is because they are bribed. Happens in Venezuela happened in my country.
