“It’s obvious and evident” that crime has gone up,” Buenos Aires Province Police Chief Juan Carlos Paggi said in a radio interview Thursday.”

Fernando, you might want to take your angry rant to the police chief, who lives on the frontline and probably knows better than anyone what is happening with crime. I’d take his word over yours any day. Meanwhile, BA Province policemen I have spoken with say the same thing.

The data you point to only cover up to 2007. They’re not relevant to this story.

Once again, you’re comparing apples and oranges here. The blue bar in 2009 clearly shows crime rising, indicating an upward trend. Will it continue? Who knows. I certainly don’t, but for the time being, it indicates more police are dying, and this is what this story is about, not 2003 or even 2008.

Let me get something… the bars show one-third of the deaths in 2008 vs 2003, and you call this worsening?

“But Fernández, a man who repeatedly has declined to provide statistical data to back up seemingly optimistic claims about crime, is not the most inspirational source of confidence on this issue.”

This is PURE BULLSHIT, and you know it.

Here are the stats…

When will your biased Anti-K bulshitting end, Tao?

And how well does the US embassy pay? I´m looking for work after the gloabl financial crisis hit the UK hard.I don´t mind writing anti-K stories, as long as it puts food on the table. Those seem to be in high demand.

For what I here from Argentinians a fair share of these are because the police itself is very active in organised crime.

I still wonder whether that is true.

This is frightening. Are there any studies done as to the reason why such violence against policemen and violence overall is increasing now? Also what kind of incidents or what kind of incidents have these murders taken place? Is there a similarity between them all?

take a look at the 70s figures and you’ll find out something very interesting… That’s how everything started 30 years ago… We are going back, baby! They are f… back!
