Maybe the protestors are right and Panama's government is corrupt and deserved to be protested.

I’m sure their government is corrupt, just like every government around the world.

And it is a citizens right to protest… even though some of those “citizens” are paid to be there.

But, it doesn’t give them the right to impede regular peoples lives and create a scenario that could hold up any emergency services or just regular people going about their lives.

And since it’s obvious that law enforcement won’t do their jobs (likely due to corrupt politicians), inevitably regular citizens will. And it’s hard to blame them.
