This is a list of notable cases of police brutality in Argentina.
• 1904: during a long campaign of general strikes organized by the Argentine Workers' Federation, a clash in May 1904 between workers and police left two dead and 15 injured at Rosario, Santa Fe.
• 1909: on May Day, a large march through Buenos Aires was broken up by the police, resulting in 12 deaths and a hundred wounded.[1]
• 1919: a series of riots and massacres took place in Buenos Aires in January, when anarchist unions declared a massive strike remembered as Tragic Week.
• 1921: several policemen were killed in the first phase of the Patagonia rebelde, assisted the army in the massacre.
• 1932: Federal Police chief Leopoldo Polo Lugones introduced the picana, a torture device adapted from the electric cattle prod, in Buenos Aires.[2][3]
• 1966: During a protest led by professors and students of the University of Buenos Aires, five university departments were brutally cleared by the Federal Police, in a repressive action known as La Noche de los Bastones Largos (“The Night of the Long Batons”).[4]
• 1966: student Santiago Pampillón was shot dead by police during a protest in downtown Córdoba in September.
• 1969: the police killed two students during the riots known as the first Rosariazo, which took place at Rosario in May. The police were overwhelmed during the second Rosariazo in September, and the army moved in, suppressing the protest.
• 1969: shortly after the first Rosariazo there was a general strike in Córdoba, which provoked the police repression and led to a civil uprising later termed the Cordobazo.
• 1991: Walter Bulacio was killed by the federal police's beating after a razzia when he was taken to the police sectional.
• 2001: during the December 2001 riots, there were violent incidents between police and protesters throughout the country, mostly in Buenos Aires and in Santa Fe Province. Five people were

As I understand, in some areas of the country, foreigners are being banned from entering traditional restaurants for beef, because foreigners should not eat beef that Argentines should eat.
I know there is a poster from Argentina that had been warning non-Argentines that Argentine culture had made a fundamental shift from being pro-European to being extremely anti-European, anti-American, and remaining anti-Latin American. That his generation had been both taught in school to despise foreigners and also through the actions of many nations to harm Argentina.
So clearly he is correct, foreigners are persona non-grata in Argentina.

Just because you reset your online persona doesn't mean you won't end up a raving lunatic like you usually do.
You are so predictable.
It would be interesting that instead of all those fantastical insinuations and farouche paranoia you would pore over the evidence presented about the radical shift in Argentina towards inwardism and isolationism.

As for poring “over the evidence presented about the radical shift in Argentina towards inwardism and isolationism”
I will gladly pore over it when such evidence is provided. The rabid ravings of one autistic youth from Mendoza is not evidence. Neither is the video provided above which is solely about a SINGLE dance contest.

45. Toby, I think you are misunderstanding what happened in your video. BA city authorities were terrified and thought that there was a very good chance a foreigner would win and qualify for the BA Tango champion and it would have been pretty embarrassing that a foreigner was representing Argentina in the Tango Wold Cup or whatever its called.
Sep 20th, 2014 - 10:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0Nobody cares about Argentina. Your isolation is as relevant as North Korea. If you want to further destroy one of the few hard currency industries and a huge employment base its your call. It won't matter to anyone in the civilized world.
I am guessing whatever meds were keeping you on the edge of sanity are no longer available or you can't afford to buy them.
With as much psychotic drugs your society takes and its unavailability were going to see a lot of people getting nuttier and nuttier by the day as the withdrawal sets in.

it was not a military objective, and was made after Germany had already been rendered.
about the boer wars, read a book once in a while:
During the Second Boer War, concentration camps were established initially for use by refugees.[12] As part of the strategy to defeat the Boers, farms were destroyed including the systematic destruction of crops and slaughtering of livestock (Pakenham, 1979, p. 440), the burning down of homesteads, poisoning of wells and salting of fields. This was to prevent the Boers from resupplying from a home base. 45 tented camps were created for Boers and 64 FOR BLACK AFRICANS.
Tens of thousands of women and children were forcibly moved into the concentration camps via open cattle trucks in freezing rain during winter, without being given adequate food and water.[12] 107,000 people were interned in the camps. Of which, 27,927 Boers died along with an unknown number of BLACK AFRICANS.
Wow ! our embassy at London is finally doing something good !!!
