Law and order with a Brazilian flavor.........

Law and order with a Brazilian flavor.  Check this out:  
"A leading candidate in Brazil's presidential election said police should be given license to kill criminals and those who do should receive medals not face prosecution.
Hard-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro said in an interview Tuesday night that he would "leave good people out of range of the shooting" and go at criminals full steam.
"This kind of people (criminals), you cannot treat them as if they were normal human beings, ok? We can't let policemen keep dying at the hands of those guys," Bolsonaro said on TV Globo's main nightly news program. 
""If he kills 10, 15 or 20 with 10 or 30 bullets each, he needs to get a medal and not be prosecuted.""
I understand Mr. Bolsonero.  The violence is out of control in major cities.  

At the same time, he is overreaching with these comments.  

A better idea may be to declare "martial law" in certain areas and go after the gangs with full military force.  Secondly, Brazil has to tackle its porous borders!
