Justin Bieber shows Colombia´s police force is for rich and famous?

Canadian super star Justin Bieber was snapped last night graffiting the streets of Bogota while Colombia´s police force stood guard.

Just two years ago police shot dead a Colombian for doing the same.

Why did the police protect Bieber while he did what they have pursued Colombians for?

According to the annual Transparency International index, 40 per cent of Colombians believe the police force is “extremely corrupt”, and a third have admitted to bribing officers. Last night will not have helped this perception.
