The police of Hatai are now telling the population that they are better off at it themselves <\/a>then rely on the police. Not only that but actively encouraging them to shot and kill criminals. <\/p>\n

\n “If you don’t kill the criminals, they will all come back,” a Haitian police officer shouts over a loudspeaker in the country’s most notorious slum, imploring citizens to take justice into their own hands.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yep you read that right, how often do you hear something like that today?<\/p>\n

The call for vigilantes comes as influential gang leaders who escaped from a heavily damaged prison during the country’s killer earthquake are taking advantage of a void left by police and peacekeepers focused on disaster relief.<\/p>\n

“Even as we are digging bodies out of buildings, they are trying to attack our officers,” Cite Soleil police inspector Aristide Rosemond said, surrounded by officers wielding automatic weapons.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I know we have not had anything on this scale, but what where to happen if there was a major disaster that really causes things to get blown wide open. <\/p>\n

But don’t worry the the UN is on it, sorta.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian peacekeeping unit assigned to Cite Soleil lost 18 of its 145 soldiers in the earthquake. Ten perished when the “Blue House” \u2014 a landmark concrete tower converted into a U.N. post near the slum’s entrance \u2014 collapsed, leaving weapons and equipment readily available to fast-acting looters.<\/p>\n

The U.N. peacekeeping mission also lost its chief, deputy chief and acting police commander.<\/p>\n

The police lost an uncounted number of personnel and equipment, leaving a group of officers who in large part are just recently recruited and trained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So I would really like to see a reply on what would happen able to hand a situation like this if full gun control would be in place? I mean this is not just a hypothetical one, this is happening today, now as we speak. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
