![]() In this handout photo provided by the Argentine Presidency, released Thursday, Feb. 1, 2018, Argentine President Mauricio Macri, right, shakes hands with police officer Luis Chocobar at the presidential house in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Macri hailed Chocobar after the policeman shot a escaping robber on the back, raising fears that Macri’s embrace will give the country’s police force, with a long history of abuses, a green light to shoot first and ask questions later.

Chocobar is a shooter not a runner....He was not in shape to run down a young thief, which the thief should have thought about before he took off running....This should be standard police procedure in the USA, which would put a real dent on our crime rate....In Mexico, crooks know not to run from police or resist arrest............

Gentlemen, please. I know that you are Americans. But there is not death penalty in Argentina. And shooting to the back of a running person, hundreds of meters away of the robbery place is not legal. So... Charges confirmed against officer in Argentine shooting

So, Gentle Reader: Argentina is under the Neofascist Macri Regime, now. Under that Regime, there is richness for a few and poverty for the many. This unfair situation brews social unrest and crime. The Macri regime uses the police for social repression, in turn: Video showing police violence against kids in Argentina goes viral
