Abstract

On September 9, 2020, members of the Colombian national police killed Javier Ordóñez, a young lawyer from Bogotá. This event generated public outrage, sparking a wave of protests that lasted six days and left at least 12 people dead and 435 injured, among them civilians and police officers. This essay analyzes the dynamics of these protests to understand whether the collective action of citizens should be attributed to a structured process of conflict that aspires to social change or, on the contrary, to a particular form of frustration-aggression where factors indirectly affecting collective individualities—beliefs, customs, world views, rights, and obligations—prevailed.
