Overview

• Active and retired SSC officers and relatives gathered at the Zócalo, then moved to city government offices to deliver demands; La Jornada reported they handed a petition to Subsecretary Fadlala Akabani without receiving a response.
• Protesters sought the removal of mid and senior commanders they say lack experience and put front-line personnel at risk.
• The march triggered roadblocks including roughly an hourlong closure at Eje Central and Avenida Juárez after an earlier 30-minute stop near Fray Servando and Eje Central.
• Participants called for flame-retardant uniforms, sturdier helmets and riot shields, plus updated protocols for handling violent demonstrations.
• Coverage cited 94 officers injured on Oct. 2; one outlet said five remained hospitalized as demonstrators decried limited medical support and voiced fear of reprisals.
