A leading candidate in Brazil‘s presidential election said police should be given license to kill criminals and those who do should receive medals not face prosecution.
Hard-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro said in an interview Tuesday night that he would “leave good people out of range of the shooting” and go at criminals full steam.
“This kind of people (criminals), you cannot treat them as if they were normal human beings, ok? We can’t let policemen keep dying at the hands of those guys,” Bolsonaro said on TV Globo’s main nightly news program. “”If he kills 10, 15 or 20 with 10 or 30 bullets each, he needs to get a medal and not be prosecuted.”
Bolsonaro is polling second ahead of Brazil’s October presidential election, with jailed former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in the lead. But da Silva is likely to be barred from running by electoral authorities for a corruption conviction.
The Police are not immune to corruption so proper systems need to be in place otherwise the Police may think they are above the law and would do as they wish because they are allowed to!!
The problem with such a policy is that it allows police to be judge, jury and executioner – all rolled into one. Do you really trust the police to “have at it” (i.e., kill anyone they personally deem a criminal)? …Jeeze, talk about usurping the role of the courts!
