- (General Dispatch) – Recently, students at Cornell University held an activity aimed at the abrogation of police agencies. But, in a totally unusual perspective.
- The event was orchestrated by members of Cornell University’s LGBTQ community, who expressed their rejection of law enforcement by means of the “Quee” symbol.
- Apparently, this bizarre modality was taken from Greek culture, which relates outsider ways of life and their link to law enforcement authorities.
- According to what was reported by one of the participants, the power of police officers forces them to act in a certain way, and this restricts their rights to express themselves.
- Evidently, the development of this activity caused great incongruence among the spectators, as they did not find coherence with the purpose of the event.
- Commentators expressed the opinion that the lack of rationality was one of the banners that stood out during the rally.
- Police officers only make sure that they fulfill their assigned functions, in no way are they an obstacle for the community to express and assert their rights.
- To conclude, this is one of the first occasions in which a demonstration of this nature is not clear about its objectives.
