Year 2015, Argentina, province of Tucumán.
The police officer claims that this young man was "causing trouble" during his working hours. He sounds irritated, as if this were not the first time he had had to deal with this particular boy.
The man asked him, "Why the fuck are you causing trouble during my shift?" And also: "Why don't you listen to what I'm saying?" As the beating continues, he repeats the same questions to the teenager, "Why do you keep causing fucking trouble?" and "How many times have I told you?" And when he sees the suspect covering his face to avoid another blow, he tells him not to cover himself with his hand and to stand firm.
The police officer is heard repeating, "Why don't you respect me?" and also "Why don't you obey me?"
The name of the police station where the incident took place was not disclosed in the news report, as the name of the specific facility is unknown.
The Tucumán police chief, Dante Bustamante, could only confirm that the events did not take place at a specific police station initially identified as the location where the torture video was recorded.
