They are killing us police officers on the way to and from their work in the Province of Buenos Aires. When they know they are police, criminals shoot faster. We have to review the laws to protect those who have a duty to care for us. pic.twitter.com/nH0wXEs0mh

One of the concerns he expressed was the actions of the police when encountering criminals. «What is the limit to which you have to expose yourself when someone already comes with a weapon? They are killing us police officers on the way to and from work because they make it known that they are police officers.. When they know they are police, criminals shoot faster. There is an issue of laws that we have to review,” said the Head of Government.
“The City Police have 11 deaths in the line of duty, but only one death in the City of Buenos Aires, and 10 in the Province,” he added. One of the most recent cases dates back to March 22, when a 37-year-old police officer was killed in La Matanza when two criminals tried to steal his motorcycle.
Although the officer did not lose his life, although he is seriously injured and in delicate condition, this episode is another example of the cruelty of some criminals in the presence of the police forces.
With statements like: «This is 42% more confrontations than in the same period last year. If that is the extent of the increase in crime in the province of Buenos Aires, it is tremendous,” and “In the province of Buenos Aires, they do not want to discuss drug dealing.” seemed to directly criticize the Buenos Aires governor Axel Kicillof.
He drug dealing It is the sale of narcotics on a smaller scale than drug trafficking. During the last few months, different operations have been deployed in the City to disrupt the trade in substances. Regarding this, Macri stated “In 100 days we have built five bunkers, the last one in Constitución.”
Finally, Macri commented on the situation of the police stations in the city: «We have already arrested 6,000 criminals. […] There are 2,005 detainees in police stations and wardens, out of a maximum of 9,000. We are asking the national government for a greater effort, because there are also 1,700 police officers distracted in police stations and wardens. “It is a risk for the neighborhood and a danger for the detainee.”
