Disclaimer & comment rulesPatricia Bullrich, one of the most disgusting members of the Macri government, has openly condoned several happy trigger incidents that resulted in citizen's deaths, and rumours have her as vice-president candidate in a possible Macri presidential candidacy -- which would be an attempt to use the Bolsonaro effect in Argentina.

This pathetic character, who enjoys appearing in camouflaged attire among troops, will remain as one of the darkest sides of Macri's Revolution of Joy.
Police officers worldwide are trained to shoot as many rounds as necessary at the threat they are confronted with until the threat is neutralized – that is, they are trained to fire until the suspect is unable to shoot or in some other way injure the officer, other police or bystanders. Why on earth would anyone find this wrong, unless they're mentally deranged like Enrique Massot.

That is licence to kill on sight without warning. Anything is allowed.
Minister Bullrich is clearly enthusiastic at the prospect of being Macri's vice-president candidate in Oct. 2019, and she seeks to attract ”the bullet ballots.”
Of course, many believe the lie that giving the police licence to kill on sight will somehow reduce street crime -- until themselves, a friend or a family member is shot just because they happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
