SAO PAULO (AP) — A leading candidate for Brazil's presidency says police should be given license to kill criminals.
Congressman Jair Bolsonaro says that criminals can't be treated as "normal human beings" and that police should be allowed to kill them.
In Bolsonaro's words, "If he kills 10, 15 or 20 with 10 or 30 bullets each, he needs to get a medal and not be prosecuted."

A Brazilian judge has ordered a conservative Brazilian congressman to pay a colleague more than $2,500 for saying she wasn’t worth raping.
Judge Tatiana Dias da Silva ordered Jair Bolsonaro to pay Maria do Rosario 10,000 reals ($2,560) for saying last December in a newspaper interview that she is not “worth raping; she is very ugly”.
One day before the interview, Bolsonaro said on the floor of congress that Rosario had called him a “rapist” in 2003, adding that he would not rape her because she didn’t “deserve it”.
