Protests swept over the city of Guadalajara, located in the western state of Jalisco, after 30-year-old builder Giovanni Lopez was found dead. The last time Lopez was seen was documented in a video circulating on social media earlier this week.
The video showed Lopez with police officers who were arresting him because he was not wearing a face mask. Enraged by the video, protesters took to the streets, burning patrol cars outside of the Governor’s Palace and writing messages demanding justice for Lopez on the walls in the historic center.
Later that evening, Lopez’s family went to the police station to pick him up. The police told the family that he was at a public hospital in Guadalajara. By the time the family arrived at the hospital, Lopez was already pronounced dead.
He suffered blunt-force trauma to his head and had a bullet wound in his foot.
Enraged by the video, protesters took to the streets, burning patrol cars outside of the Governor’s Palace and writing messages demanding justice for Lopez on the walls in the historic center.
In the video circulating on social media on Friday, protesters can be seen in the historic center of downtown Guadalajara. A group of people appear to be arguing with a police officer before he attempts to leave, getting on his motorcycle.
A masked protester quickly runs up behind the officer, dousing him in what appears to be gasoline and lighting the cop on fire. The person has not yet been identified.

So Mexico rioters HAVE to wear a mask or get arrested?
The article mentioned that the police had arrested and disappeared somebody for not wearing a mask (that is, violating an order, not committing a crime).
This is not good, and I think one of the reasons it was so easy to stir up anger against the police here in the US is that they have been used by Dems to enforce these insane “lockdown” and “social distancing” orders. They’ve closed businesses, raided church services, etc. and I think that has lost them a lot of support among just average people. Antifa and BLM are just exploiting this.
No, he was arrested for not wearing a mask.
Turned up dead, and then the riots started.
They just sent a message to the corrupt govenor that they will neithor wear stupid masks nor tolerate being forced to. The real story is the police beat a man to death for not wearing a STUPID mask and they paid for it.
Lock everyone in their homes for months - impoverishing them, let out all the criminals, and then steer millions of slush fund ‘grant money’ to leftist anarchist “community organizing’ groups hoping for revolution. I think the riots and looting are exactly what the Democratic Party wanted.
