(2,274 posts)My brother is a police officer. I don't dispute that interfering with an arrest will get one arrested also.
It's the harshness and brutality of the police overall that is disturbing. That doesn't happen in Cuba.
Another poster who seems to think that Castro is still alive falsely claims that Cubans are "disappeared" after an arrest. Ummm. No. We'd be hearing about it in bold headlines in the Miami news regularly if it were to be true. It's not, and it is not.
FYI, I am a Cuban-American Jewish liberal who votes straight Dem every election. I know what is going on there because my family lives there and I go many times every year, and I keep in close touch with all of my family and friends via phone, zoom, Facebook, twitter, etc etc on a daily basis.
