More than 100 officers injured as protesters attack police, breach barrier at Mexico's National Palace
Fox News ^ | 11/15/25 | Alexandra Koch

Thousands of protesters swarmed Mexico City Saturday, attacking police officers and attempting to breach a security barrier around the National Palace, which houses the federal government's executive branch.

Plumes of tear gas filled the street as hooded protesters dragged riot police out of formation, beat them with hammers and chains and threw explosive devices at them, as they were stripped of their shields and communication radios.

The Secretariat of Citizen Security of Mexico City announced via social media that at least 60 police officers had minor injuries, and 40 officers were taken to hospitals.

Of the 40 officers hospitalized, 36 had contusions, cuts and minor injuries, and four are receiving specialized care for trauma and other injuries that are not life-threatening.

As of Saturday night, at least 20 people were detained, and 20 others were referred for administrative offenses.

The anti-government march, which became violent at Zocalo Square, was organized by members of Gen Z, those born between the late '90s and early 2010s.

Protesters told The Associated Press they were rallying against corruption and safety concerns.

The Secretariat of Citizen Security noted Mexico City Police only carried out containment work and did not repress protesters or respond to the provocations.

Had to search to find videos on this from YouTube and elsewhere. Looks like your textbook antifa flavored riot.
Strange however, to see so many of the protest signs written in English. Things that make you go Hmmm.

just my $0.05 (sorry but we don’t mint pennies anymore)

Sheinbaum is a failure.

Perhaps that is the wrong term. I think what you are looking for is "compromised".

Now look south of the Rio Grande. There are nearly the same natural resources and opportunities, yet there is much corruption everywhere, in particular Mexico.

It has to do with the history of how the colonies were established in the Americas. Spanish colonies were focused on extracting resources.

The English did not not have same fortune, they couldn't find gold so they had to take the time to develop the 13 Colonies.

But the cartels are probably better armed than the military.

“Sheinbaum is a failure.”

Just another one in a long list of female “leader” failures.

I was surprised Macho Mexicans would elect a woman as president.

Catholic church bears a lot of blame. Vatican made it policy to send their troublesome commie trash priests to the Americas. Plus, the last pope actively defended convicted pedos.
Kinda like Starmer of Britain.

Fight to the last man, then we’ll roll South and make them a protectorate.

This cartel run country on our border is nuts.

Or maybe it’s just Mexicans fed up with their government acting as agents for the cartels?

I agree 100%. As son as things get violent it is no longer a protest, it becomes a riot.
