Venezuela's President activates Plan "Secure Homeland"

[MADem]

2. Well, the crime rate in VZ is through the roof, they are almost the murder capital of the world--I

think they're Number Two in murders per capita these days. The police are corrupt as hell, so they can't be relied upon, the economy is in shambles despite oil revenues, shortages of basic commodities abound, and it's just a dangerous, scary place. It's gotta be pretty bad when most of the country (supposedly) approves of this move:

De acuerdo con cifras que maneja el ministerio de Interior, más de 70 por ciento de los venezolanos aprueba la participación de los militares en la seguridad pública.

My question is, and I don't know the answer, are these deployed forces any less corrupt, and do they know what the hell they are doing? Or will they be 'the new boss,' same as the old boss...or worse, patsys who are targets?
