Before we give today’s headlines, I wish to apologize to all of you for the late time of this post. It’s inexcusable and hopefully won’t happen again anytime soon.* Chile: A police officer was indicted by authorities for the shooting death of an indigenous Mapuche last week.
* Honduras: Police brutality in Honduras has been rampant in the seven weeks since President Manuel Zelaya was ousted according to a report released today by Amnesty International.
* Mexico: Workers at the Puebla Volkswagen plant have gone on strike and are seeking higher wages.
* Caribbean: Days after running a world record 9.58 seconds in the 100-meters at the World Championships, Jamaica’s Usain Bolt is aiming for another top performance in the 200-meter dash.
