License-to-Kill Policing to Get a Trial Run in Rio de Janeiro
Via Drudge ^ | December 22 2018 | David Biller

Teams of marksmen next year will patrol swaths of Rio de Janeiro with high-powered weapons and a license to kill, said a security adviser to Governor-elect Wilson Witzel.

As many as 120 sharpshooters will accompany police incursions into the slums of Brazil’s postcard city to exterminate gun-toting criminals, according to Flavio Pacca, a longtime associate of Witzel who the governor-elect’s press office said will join the administration. The shooters will work in pairs -- one to pull the trigger, one to monitor conditions and videotape deaths.

“The protocol will be to immediately neutralize, slaughter anyone who has a rifle,” Witzel, a federal judge and former Brazilian marine, told reporters in Brasilia on Dec. 12. “Whoever has a rifle isn’t worried about other people’s lives, they’re ready to eliminate anyone who crosses their path. This is a grave problem, not just in Rio de Janeiro, but also in other states.”

Rio has long exemplified Brazil’s charm and its chaos, and what happens there echoes at home and abroad. Like President-elect Jair Bolsonaro, Witzel cruised to victory in October promising a brutal crackdown on criminals who make daily life a harrowing ordeal. Rio will be a proving ground for Bolsonaro’s philosophy of maximum force -- and whether law enforcement devolves into a storm of extrajudicial killings.

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Barack Hussein Obama, 7/2/2008
They don’t call it a Civil Defense force, that would imply we need (or perhaps that we deserve) defense. The official name is National Civilian Community Corps.

I think of it as the NatCCC, or more simply, as the NatCs...

If you don’t ‘shoot and scoot’ in an urban environment when facing superior fire power, fire will be concentrated on you and you will die.

That's good advice - for the gun confiscators. There will be thousands of citizens shooting back at them.

Shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there was a symposium of high ranking military officers at a conference in Europe. I forget where it was held....perhaps Germany.

During a break period in between lectures and other meetings, a number of these high ranking military officers from around the world were having drinks and snacks in an informal setting.

One of the American military officers asked his Russian counterpart, “Tell me, during the Cold War, did the Soviet Union ever consider invading the United States?”

The Russian general laughed and said, “Oh no, you people have too many guns over there!”

Reminds me of Japanese Admiral Yamamoto’s comment when his fellow officers asked about the possibility of invading America during World War II....”I fear there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass” or words to that effect.

Brazil probably needs this.

Mexico absolutely needs this.

But Mexico is incapable of any such cleansing. It is a corrupt leadership wrapped inside a corrupt populace.

Probably Mexico should sub it out to another country.

French Foreign Legionnaires already know the territory.

Every time I read the quote from RatBoy, (?) I think how like his father he is. Quick and deadly with wit and words! Good job, both of you!

As for the ping. I love reading about things I’ve missed witnessing due to the fact that my ancestors chose to go WSW rather than SSW.

How’s the weather in Washoe county? Ice predicted for here. But it’s a steady 40°.

I am sure the UN is watching and hoping. Probably developing a committee/team to be placed down there and take notes....

Exactly my point.

The American people cannot be disarmed by force. Those who think we can, just aren't thinking with the sheer numbers of gun owners who would resist such an effort to the death.

We're talking tens of millions of armed and angry people who would decimate any aggressor they faced.
