Riots in Argentina

In Argentina the police have gone on strike because they want more money, because of this many people are rioting. Recently 5 people were killed. It is spreading throughout the country and causing a lot of problems. What do you think about this?

  • I think they shouldn't go on riot since they have a duty to do. They need to get back to work, and hope that better pay will come. If people are being hurt because of this, they should see that they need to get back to work.

  • Money can motivate people to do a lot of things so this doesn't really surprise me. 

  • I think that they need to pay the police more so that they can get this under control. Hopefully both sides are willing to compromise and there is no more killing.

  • I think that the police should call off the strike and go back to work. They should try to keep working while they negotiate better wages. In my opinion police officers and the fire department should not be able to go on strike.

  • The riots are terrible. So many people can get injured or killed. I think that the rioting should stop. As for the strikes, I'm not sure what they should do.

  • Again, great job replying but brief in your write-up.

  • I think the police are doing the wrong thing. There letting people die and its there job to keep them safe. I just dont see why pay would be that big of an influence.

  • I think that the police need to stop and just get over. They also need to stop the rioting.

    • Yes, if the police stop their strike, then the riots should slow down.

  • The cops shouldn't be rioting because they probably don't even need a raise in the first place. They need to go back to work so crimes aren't happening and they need to protect their own people.
