Puerto Rico is literally a colony of the US.

From Hawai’i, to Puerto Rico, to Guam, to “American” Samoa, and the “US” Virgin Islands, free all sovereign nations from US colonial rule!

Este 23 de mayo…

Here’s the police body cam video showing what happened when a @Hertz worker at the New Orleans airport called police because a Puerto Rican man kept insisting that his drivers license was valid. The Hertz worker denied the man his pre paid rental car because he couldn’t present his passport. The Hertz worker thought Puerto Rico was another country and so she insisted the man needed to show a passport. He didn’t. He is a U.S. citizen as are all Puerto Ricans.

This body cam video was first obtained by @FOX8NOLA.

You can judge for yourself the unidentified @KennerPolice officers demeanor / behavior. Marchand found it to be extremely rude and demeaning.

As for the Hertz worker, she seen on video saying to the customer, Humberto Marchand:
“Because you recorded as you’re not gonna be able to rent from Hertz ever!”

That’s not true. Hertz has already apologized to Mr. Marchand publicly and stated that the employees were wrong and will be retained.

It is clear that neither the officer, nor the Hertz employee, know that Marchand is right: his driver’s license is as valid as any other license issued in any other state. He didn’t need to show a passport to anyone. The officer could’ve provided clarity to the situation based on the fact that Puerto Rico is not a foreign country. He did not or was unaware of that fact.

In my initial report, I stated that Marchand heard the officer say that he would call border authorities. The body cam video does not show that.

As @FOX8NOLA’s @news_fuentes reported, the officer said: “Do not come back up here and cause any more disturbances.”
In the body camera video, Marchand asks, “You’re going to call what? Border services?”

@drcorazon2016 @UPR_Oficial @rcmupr Qué fácil es hablar sin saber. Un doctorado no lo hace buen administrador y esa persona es excelente. ¿Lo mejor de todo? No se rige por la política sucia o poderes religiosos.
