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.

Well, I guess it’s all over then. Might as well turn over all 400 million of our guns and face our fate now.

Liberal soccer moms and tranny judges was all it took to defeat us. In the end we were nothing but talk, and never did deserve this great country. Look how easy it was for a bunch of freaks and deviants to take it from us.

You’re right, Drew. We’re all cowards at heart. All this posing on Free Republic has been one gigantic circle jerk.

Thanks for setting me straight.

Recall how much chaos two guys in an old beater in Virginia, one annoyed cop in Los Angeles, and two guys in Boston caused.

Yep. Now multiply that by tens of millions of pissed off patriots who've got nothing left to lose.

The federals would surrender within the week, and we'd begin a complete re-set of our government.
