Diego KravetzSecretary of Security of the city of Buenos Aires, stated in LN+ that the actions of the police officer who shot and killed a man who tried to stab him in a Buenos Aires bar “it was perfect” and went a little further by pointing out that, in these types of cases, Police officers should use firearms instead of non-lethal weapons.. “The Taser is not enough,” she said.
“I am one of those who believe that when there is only one officer and he is in a situation like this, he has to use the firearm and not the non-lethal weapon.. The same as when she was discussing whether she should have shot his leg. They are hundredths of a second where if the Taser collides with any piece of clothing, it does not make contact and misses that first shot, even if there is a second shot, the hundredth of a second that the action lasts makes it kill him [al policía]”Kravetz considered.
The former Secretary of Security of the Buenos Aires municipality of Lanús added: “If there are two officers or more, it seems to me that one uses the taser and another reinforces”. “Here apart we are not counting, but out there he is saving other lives. This person [quien falleció] I was crazy. If the cash did not intervene, possibly he ended up killing the mother or some other diner, we don’t know,” she said.
Kravetz justified the procedures carried out by the City Police in which they evict homeless people and throw their belongings at them. “There are a lot of opportunists who are on the street that we are working on a system in which Buenos Aires Presente comes first with a capsule and Public Space comes next.. If they do not want to leave the street, they proceed to throw away what they have. And if they do not comply with the order, there is the police capsule that makes them comply with the order.“, held.
The official made a differentiation between the different types of cases and the approach they take. “In people who are homeless today we have, on the one hand, those who fell out of the system. We do work with Social Development to try to lift them up. With inns, with housing subsidy, with courses to be able to re-enter the workforce,” he said.
“Then you have the people who have psychological, psychiatric problems. We include addicts due to the profile. Here we are working with another logic, which is to go out and look for them with Buenos Aires Present and then call the psychiatric SAME and see if a hospitalization can arise from there,” said the former candidate for mayor of Together for Change in Lanús in the last elections. , who after eight years as head of Municipal Security and a few months as interim communal chief lost by 10 percentage points to Julian Alvarezfrom Unión por la Patria (UxP).
In relation to the attempted robbery this Thursday of the truck of the president of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (CSJN), Horacio Rosatti, Kravetz described it as “very strange that [el ladrón] be so little lucid to go to a place where there are always police officers” and added that “The habitual criminal in the area knows perfectly well that the parking lot on the street belongs to the Supreme Court.”.
The Buenos Aires official maintained that since he took office as secretary he has stopped crime in that area. “We had a very particular situation in the Courts area, when we began the administration. We had the Court Square taken over by some Quom on one side and on the other we had a ranch of some guys, some criminals, who I literally met when I crossed the square to see a court judge when I took office. It was 10:30 in the morning and one of those who were ranching was stealing the cell phone of a boy who was passing by to go to study at the school across the street,” he recalled.
”We went, we swept, we took them all out. The place was literally taking between some Indians and some criminals. I don’t say anything about the Indians because they are people who were demonstrating, but they couldn’t demonstrate there, we took them out; and these were a tremendous thing”he added. And he concluded: “When we solved the issue of the ranchada, crime automatically began to decrease in the area, but it does not mean that there are no criminals living there.”
The attempted robbery of the president of the country’s highest court is the fifth suggestive episode that Rosatti reported between September 2022 and the present. Those around the minister pointed out THE NATION They take it as “a personal intimidation related to the sensitive causes that were resolved this week.” The case fell in the court of Ariel Lijoone of the president’s two candidates Javier Milei to become a magistrate of the Court.
