Washington–(ENEWSPF)–September 8, 2011. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights Division released a much anticipated report on police abuse of power and use of excessive force in Puerto Rico that paints a clear picture of systemic and sustained violations of constitutional rights of the Puerto Rican people. The report, dated September 5, confirms what Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez (D-IL) has been warning the nation about with regard to Puerto Rico since he began making a series of speeches on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives to call attention to civil rights abuses on the island.
