An unfortunately typical scene unfolds under the streetlights in a Buenos Aires suburb.

Shaking from fear, still dressed in her nightshirt, Zhao Fuzhong stands on the pavement outside her house. The 41-year-old, originally from China, has just been the victim of a violent break-in.

The masked gang entered her house through a door leading onto the flat roof. The gang smashed through the bars that had supposedly secured the door, shouting "Police! Police!"

Armed with revolvers, the men beat and threatened Zhao, whose husband was away on a business trip. Finally, when they turned their attentions to Chini, her three-year-old daughter, Zhao handed over her savings.

You can't have crooked cops without first having corrupt/cronie politicians. (And in this case, Democratically elected politicians.)
