On The Night Watch In Post-Hurricane Puerto Rico (HBO)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2017
- Hurricane Maria brought everyday life in Puerto Rico to a standstill -- destroying roads, cutting off water, and turning the lights out on 3.4 million people. Nearly two weeks later, there have been some signs of progress - most of the island’s gas stations are open, and its main highway is clear. But about half of Puerto Rico’s residents still don’t have running water, and almost the entire island is without power.
On top of everything else, Puerto Rico is also struggling to keep order in the post-hurricane chaos. Cops in Puerto Rico have been working 12 hour shifts, with almost no days off. Many of them patrol the night, after the island-wide curfew kicks in and the streets go dark.

Hurricane Maria was three months ago, but the power is still out in most of Puerto Rico - and may not be back on until May.

"That was a normal night" as a pig goes by.......
john smith I’m puertorican and I honestly laughed at that
A. B. , I just thought that was funny & surprised that pig wasn't cooked up ( given all the hungry folks )
Bruh, it wasan't enough not having a good retirement, a decent salary, you still have the balls to call em pig.
Can you do a video on the devastation for the citizens of Puerto Rico please? I hope this will not be the only video. We need to get the truth out there. Not many people care about our island or telling its story. :(
I love u guys from Spain
Sad that Is the place that I was born and live in ,but proud of being a Puertorican
Biger Boy me to my mom famliy from lozia
You should put a epilepsy warning on this video. Those police lights are insanely stroboscopic.
tjaster94 you should see them in person, it's disorientating. I'm convinced it's why so many drunks hit squad cars on side the road.
Like a moth to the light.
I remember running from these guys during the curphew LOL .. I love my island... dimelo boricuaaa
That happened a few weeks after hurricane Maria after they did not get paid we when months without police protection all sort of crimes and murders started to raised.
Muchachos sigan pa lante y DIOS los cuide siempre. Policia de Puerto Rico nesecita ayuda. Por favor ayudenlos a completar su tarea. DIOS los ampare👌
Hermoso trabajo orgulloso de la policia de Puerto Rico y aunque nos han quitado mucho amamos lo que hacemos,orgulloso de ser policia
Abusadores que son nadamas
Hay unos pocos buenos pero toma este ejemplo, no les importó la ley (constitución) para nada solo para implementar las reglas de políticos sin importar que fueran órdenes ilegales. Al igual que lo de las inyecciones de terapia genética. Usando la violencia para implementar órdenes ilegales. 🤷♂️
@@patsnationok1373 Ok, a ver quien llamas cuando te roben 😂😂
@@Borinquen_1 yo no tengo miedo que mi roben al final la policia de Puerto Rico son unos 🐀
His eyebrows is done
Its part of any haircut to get them clean over there.
More the reason not to give them aid.

Gameboy Hotline many puerto ricans do their eyebrows. Nothing wrong about it, the world isnt just north america.
It's called staying clean.. Not a hairy mess😂😂😂
That dude's eyebrows are on flek.
everything seems way scarier with the spooky music. its every fucking episode...
No matter what during a disaster or shtf the government ain't gonna be there for you right away!!
Good thing you have strict gun control....... bad guys can't get guns.
I love listening to her hypocrisy
:14
Goddam tactical mall ninja sighted
Wow Trumpy is doing such awesome job rebuilding PR.... NOT
Hard to believe this place is part of a first world country
It's a US territory, but if it was a state it would look much better.
It's semi-colonialism. They (Puerto Ricans) are obligated to pay more to receive goods from the U.S. mainland.
Mamao sal de tu comodidad y mira tu país y verás lo mismo, First Country ja ja ja ja mamao
This was filmed in San Juan in a place heavily populated by Dominican illegals residents. Just sayin
Cruz dont blame it on them its mostly us
His eyebrows are on fleek
ew lol
I thought the majority of Puerto Rico spoke English? Or is it bi-lingual?
defectivepixel Spanish is the Island's first and dominate spoken language. Only the younger generation of Puerto Ricans are billingual due to schools enforcing it at a young age and theres English and Spanish cable TV.
Average puertoricans not. Most of the people that speak English are because they went to private schools. My girlfriend was an honor student though school, now has a a Bachelor Degree in Education, also Master Degree in Counseling and came to the states incapable to sustain a simple conversation in English.
Julian Gorrido i never went to a private school in puerto rico and i can speak english... thanks to cartoon network 😂
Ppl lie so much probabbly never lived in the island most ppl dont speak english thats the truth ppl think its all just san juan and isla verde thats turist area ofcurse most ppl will know inglish yes iknow inglish because i lived in usa to but most ppl are poor and of low resoirces dont be fooled that is the capital and u can see how most ppl just speak spanish everything is spanish here but wt an american twist
People never learn prepare be prepare you live in a place that is proven to have this happen. Yet they complain and want help from everyone else because they are not prepared
RViscara what part of "the strongest hurricane to ever hit the island" hit the damn island. There aging power grid was completely destroyed and they have no running water and the island was already suffering from a financial crisis.
Not to mention who prepares for a month (possibly multiple months) without food, water, and power? I know my family couldn't prepare that much and I damn sure know you couldn't.
Please think and research before you comment
StephySon "What part of the strongest hurricane ever to hit the island" Well what part of "Living on a island" What part of "Living in a hurricane prone island and location historical" What part of that do you not get? I lived in Hawaii and its pretty amazing most Hawaiian people and japanese people in Hawaii are prepared for exactly what happen to Puerto Rico.. Why? because they are not lazy they are logical enough to realize they live out in a island in the pacific a area prone to hurricanes title waves and storms. They know how to be self sufficient. They also know how to pay for their electrical system and power grid and fix and update it which costs money that they pay and maintain. The Hawaiian islands had disasters equal to Puerto Rico in the past yet they did not demand that Main land us save them and cry and complain they where out of electricity for 2 weeks or no power for a months they patiently waited and helped each other. They waited till people could get to them because they knew its very hard to reach a "ISLAND" it takes time to send boats and ships. It takes time to even locate and find who and where the help is needed. They are grateful for any help they get little or small. Because they are APPRECIATIVE at the mere FACT that NO ONE HAS TO HELP THEM ITS CALLED GENEROSITY!!! Because others are not OBLIGATED OR NO ONE OWES THEM SQUAT! THAT ITS ALL OUT OF THE GOOD NATURE AND HEARTS OF PEOPLE TO HELP THEM NOT REQUIRED OF THEM! To hear the puerto Ricans complain you think that its Legally mandatory that us AMERICANS HAVE TO HELP! THAT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE TO DO IT! NO ONE IS! We could tell them lump it and for them to figure it out on their own much like all the other countries near them.. Where is canada? where is Jamaica where is all the other countries near them? doing? NOTHING.. The french barely sent a single team to dig people out of rubble and thats it they are already gone back to france. Why aren't the people of Puerto Rico complaining about the french or canadians not doing more for them? why are the people not complaining about their politicians who stole all the money from the coffers of the country instead of using it to build up infrastructure and emergency plans to help its own people? Why dont they complain about those leaders of puerto rico? The world does not owe you shit.. You can ask for help but you can demand it or expect its a given or legal right to get it. Let alone complain about how long it takes and that you want things yesterday. TO Fing bad! dont like it go and figure it out on your own!!!! This is what happens when people are spoiled the demand more and complain more about what they do not get. The people of Sri Lanke when the title wave hit their side of the world were very grateful for any of the help they got no matter how long it took to get to them. They did not expect anything they asked but they did not think it was A DEMAND THEY SHOULD GET BECAUSE THEY ARE OWED THIS! No they where appriciative and grateful for ANYTHING THEY GOT. SO STEPHY SON unless you give up everything you own and are on that island building them a new electrical grid or having a family from peurto rico living in your home you need to sit your ass down and can it! Heart bleeding idiot that is on a couch talking as if the money being spent from USA is your money and you EARNED THE BILLIONS Spent to help them. Like that money grows on trees and comes from the skies. The ships and helicopters fly on your dime sending supplies. It costs 1800 dollars a hour per helicopter to operate on the smallest of helicopters let alone the crew the supplies to go along with it. You are clueless.. So sit down and can it!
I'm Puerto Rican. That doesn't matter what does is that the United States helps Puerto Rico and our people. 40 percent on food stamps and no help from anyone. Trump just made things harder for Puerto Ricans businesses to I can't remember what exactly . C'mon yo
No, the government should not be your safety net. Puerto Ricos collapse was their own fault m because of overspending. The liberal media loves to push their own agenda and say that puerto rico collapsed due to u.s. policies rather than say, it is democratic policy making in puerto rico that collapsed the economy.
alonzo slade you're an idiot what do you mean a safety net they are the ones that use people's tax dollars for the country. The United States has a colony and that's Puerto Rico. You have no clue what goes on there obviously
alonzo slade
Puerto Rico is not a commonwealth it's a colony. Yes they've done bad spending and their GDP like anyone else but the United States has enough power to make that country more sovereign.
You must have thought we did a good job with New Orleans to huh?
TupacWestsideOregon it is not our responsibility to make them more prosperous. You expect everything to be done for them.
alonzo slade PUERTO RICO GOV IS USA GOV. USA OWNS THE ISLAND
I fully expected a Trump comment, you know, some bullshit.
JUST LEAVE THE DAMN ISLAND! The Island already declared bankruptcy. All puerto ricans should cut their loses and migrate to the mainland because Puerto Rico doesn't have the money to fix the damage.
Nah he's right. The island is fucked, i'm Puerto Rican and agree.
alonzo slade so sorry that 3.4 million people can't just pack up and leave. Apart from the fact it's their damn home where are they all going? What jobs do they have lined up? And we are already cutting back on refugees and immigrants you see the current administration, u think they want millions of people flooding the mainland!?
Just like the USA doesn’t have the money to pay its nacional debt
Uh... This vid was weak af.
