Carabineros de Chile (national police) in the year 2020, when both Covid and the social revolt were out of control, spent 15 million pesos (27,000 NZD) in 18kt gold and pearl earrings for female police officer graduates as part of their mandatory uniform. During one of several violent street confrontations that year, two ill protected female police officers sustained serious burns by Molotov cocktails thrown at their pearl adorned faces.
