Negro Matapacos Passes Away (2017)
Sat Aug 26, 2017
Negro Matapacos ("Black Cop-Killer") was a famous stray dog from the streets of Santiago who joined student protests across the city in the 2010s, the 2011 movement for free education in particular.
Negro Matapacos was seen regularly at demonstrations, defying tear gas and water cannons, and always barking at or attacking only the riot police, never any students or rioters.
Matapacos died from old age on this day in 2017.

A riot dog is a stray dog that accompanies street protesters. The term originated during the 2008 Greek riots when a number of stray dogs remained among the protesters even when violent rioting broke out. A few riot dogs have acquired a large following of fans around the world such as the Greek Loukanikos and Negro Matapacos in Chile.
