Thousands of police officers have taken to the streets across Argentina in protest at pay cuts.
Argentina's gendarmerie members participate in a protest outside their headquarters at the Sentinel Building in Buenos Aires on October 3, 2012.
On Wednesday, protesting police officers marched through the streets of the capital Buenos Aires, waving their salary bills and chanting slogans such as “Nobody touches our pay,” AFP reported.
Similar demonstrations were also reported in other cities of the South American country, including Rosario and Comodoro Rivadavia.
Officials say the pay cuts, which are between 30 to 60 percent, are an administrative mistake and that the officers will receive their missing pay.

Storm the Bastille
The delusional who think they run things never studied in school. Their arrogance will cost them. They at least must be smart enough to know that once your police force goes on strike, you are finished. For when you ask your police force to turn their guns on their families, brothers, sisters, neighbors, children, they will tire of you and eventually rise up and perhaps even turn their guns on you. Assuming the cognitive capabilities of those who believe they are in control is perhaps assuming too much. This is why the Bastille was stormed, the event that set off the French Revolution. But again, they never studied their history in school. We would all prefer a peaceful revolution so we can be done with duality and conflict but not if we are pushed too far.
