Santo Domingo.– A police officer has been detained in the killings of two people who were protesting the country's rolling blackouts, a prosecutor said.

According to Alejandro Moscoso, the killings are still under investigation and asks that witnesses step forward.

The two victims had joined a crowd that was burning tires and threatening police with sticks and stones, authorities reported. Protesters blame police for the shootings. One victim was 13 years old.

Hey winstric, that's nothing America hasn't done. You are a hypocrite. Your US Government slaughtered all those people in Waco, Texas and at Ruby Ridge. Shot a mother in the head while holding her child. America holds nothing but butchers in their Government. So STFU.

The man oppressed will seem to do the worst
But with all he possesses self preservation comes first
His damnation comes not from burning free
As destruction of the poor is their poverty, is their poverty


While oppression is the poor man's choice
Ah, but in this he does rejoice
His burdens though heavy, he somehow bears
As for his seed, there's only one who cares
There's only one who cares


Though his prilgrimage extends, his progresses ascend
But as the prudent one exalts, he is gonna find his faults
But as the wise man sees, he knows, he knows
There's no rest in the west, so to the east he goes, to the east he goes
Where he can find peace of mind, oh
