The war on Rio's gangs | Hotspots

Brazil's right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro is overseeing a violent crackdown on criminal gangs and the police have been told to do it regardless of the dangers to innocent people who live in the favelas where the gangs operate.
Across the political and charity spectrum, people are questioning the tactics and the benefits of such an unregulated and unchecked campaign of violence.
Sky's Stuart Ramsay meets the drug gangs in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro and discovers how innocent people are getting caught in the crackdown.

Continental country but there is only Rio de Janeiro for the "Anglo-Saxon intellectual".

I use to live in Rio. In one neighbourhood, we lived close to Vidigal, a favela. They sometime contact the residents living close the favela, to give warning about future shootings in or near the favela (and hence residents living in the line of fire just outside the favela), so that we could plan accordingly. They call this "A boca da favela" (the mouth of the favela) where drug sales are rampant. But favelas are also areas of residence for many cariocas. A society within a society, neglected by the state.

the problem with countries like this is the rich / elite don't want things to change as this could lead to them having to share some of their wealth, Im 34 and its only been the last few years my eyes are truly open to the corruption in the world

Congrats on making a documentary on a first-hand experience of the crew on the ground. It was more impactful, focusing on contrasts viewed as a visitor (like if we were ourselves there) rather than causes.

Last time I was in Rio the policemen I met gave me a very strong impression that the police and gangs are essentially working together with clearly defined territory . They also boasted openly about undertaking assinations in the favellas. All very sad. This report is a silly bit of travel journalism essentially

That's the corruption, really commom anywhere. Money talks.

[@puravida5683]

As a combat soldier, I found this video of Rio very disturbing. As usual, the innocents are the victims. Until poverty and racism are eliminated in cash rich Rio, the well armed gangs will triumph. The police seem to have no rules for engagement, other than shooting anything the moves!
