Mexico Shootings

Discuss some of the broader implications of this weeks' protests over 43 missing students in Mexico. In Canada our right to protest is the freedom of assembly. What actions are the protesters taking? What have they achieved? What more are they trying to achieve? What challenges do the police fact in these scenarios? Are police merely trying to do their job? Or are they somehow a symbol of what protesters are rallying against? How has the freedom of assembly taking a twist in the modern era with protesters organizing themselves with bandanas, tear gas, etc.

Week 11

I'll start with the open thread here and add a few more in the next day. Use this thread to report on global news events taking place this week. You may use a global media or geopolitical theme if you wish (based on what we are discussing in class at the moment), or any other you feel relevant.
