So far, police and army brutality has not gone beyond the usual. That's a plus. But it is a country wide strike of persons in varied sectors of the economy with little communication or considered cooperation yet.
The strikers all have very good reasons and call to strike. Among the various major causes for the strike is the way small set of oligarchic power wielders in Colombia relate to and collude with a set powerful among US power wielder's.
That is US citizens may see the strike as an example of their tax dollars at work.

As Citizens .......
Most of us are concerned about the killing we do and pay for. We know that the killing we do causes suffering, fear, strife, confusion, and death. We see that our killing costs us blood and dollars.
It seems to me worth while to come to a better agreement about when, where, and under what circumstances we shall kill. It seems good that we have a killing policy that is more generally understood. Shouldn't we agree that our killing policy be subsumed under our war policy and perhaps our foreign policy? Can we agree on what our war policy is to be? Can we agree on what we want our national foreign policy to be? Are we capable of the necessary dialogue?
How many have already given up our law and our responsibility.?

U.S. War Dollars
Right now we spend more money on war than anyone on earth has ever spent.
We spend more on war than any other country.
We spend more on war than the next 7 top war spenders combined.
The only people on earth who spend more for war per person than do the citizens of the US are the people of the U.A.E.
Let us remember that a principle purpose of war is to kill people.
