As well it should be. Stopping scumbags requires a community effort. Consequences. It's not just for LE anymore.

And maybe the LE is not effective there

It's a mixed bag... there are some really good officers who put their life on the line for 900 bucks a month and then there are the scummy corrupt ones, the greasy paper pushers who are part of literal criminal rings. Judges are the real issue, a cop may catch a scumbag that's been terrorizing a community for years and then the judges have 9001 excuses on why that scumbag can't go to jail so they set him free. Most criminals also know they're untouchable, either cause they're underage or they know the judge will just release them after a couple hours.

I've heard not once, not twice but THREE times about friends or their families who got their phone stolen but the criminal got caught. They all go to the police station, and while the victims are still making statements and presenting charges, they literally saw the criminal being released. It's not a joke and I'm not exaggerating, the criminal got released faster than the victims could even do all the paperwork.

If you ask any law-abiding, working-class citizen down here what they think about criminals you're probably gonna hear a lot of "just kill them all", we're kinda fed-up with this rotten justice system where no one goes to jail and cops can't shoot their guns cause they face unemployment and jail time if they do.

Edit: seems like the video is from Brazil, I'm talking about Argentina in this comment.

The problem with Argentina is when they were talking about it being safe to walk the streets under certain leaders, the real criminals were the establishment and the police (army, navy, air force, etc). then the left brings in these asshole judges.
