After the murder of the police officer Juan Roldán a few meters from the Malba, stabbed by a neighbor in broad daylight, one of the debates that arose was the use of electric Tasers.
While the macrismo and even the Buenos Aires Minister of Security, Sergio Berni, asked for its implementation, the Government rejected that possibility.
The national chief of staff, Santiago Cafiero, remarked that "the incorporation of Tasers for federal forces is not under study, although he left the decision in each of the jurisdictions.
"In the federal forces the subject of Tasers is not being studied, because what we follow is our security line. Today that is not the debate. The debate is violence, the loss of a life, of a family that is destroyed ", justified Cafiero, by leading a tribute to Father Basilico" Bachi "Britez one month after his death.
Asked at a press conference, the Chief of Staff added that "jurisdictions have autonomy to use this."
Inspector Juan Pablo Roldán was 34 years old and had a 4-year-old son.
The debate around tasers arises with increasing frequency in the face of events of public shock.
It had already happened last December, when a policeman repressed a man who had threatened passersby in San Cristóbal and was carrying a knife.
The officer kicked him in the chest and the 40-year-old man died from the blow he suffered in the fall.
Now he returns to the scene for the brutal crime of officer Roldán, who on Monday received four stab wounds with a knife when in broad daylight he tried to arrest a man who threatened customers of a bar, on the corner of Figueroa Alcorta and San Martín de Tours, in Palermo.
"It was an unfortunate event. The President of the Nation was very sorry, so he decreed a mourning. It was an unfortunate event, with the loss of a 34-year-old boy with a family," Cafiero continued.
