The police brutality does not stop in Rio de Janeiro.

Last week, one child was killed by police in Rio de Janeiro. The boy, three years old, was hit during a police pursuit in which the police shot 16 times against the car in which was the boy’s family (he was in the car with his mother, Alessandra Amaral, and younger brother). The police had confused her car with another one and, when approached, they started to shoot without having spoken nothing before. Witnesses confirmed that they saw what the mother told the press.

The Secretary of State Security of Rio, Jose Mariano Beltrame, called the operation of “disastrous” and said he regretted so much for what had happened. He said that new investments will be made for the training of police. That decision came too late because another citizen died in a police pursuit yesterday.

The administrator Luiz Carlos da Costa, 36, who was also returning to his home was yielded by a thief. When his car passes by a police car, the policemen distrust and initiate the persecution. They both were killed by the police.

What makes this fact even more regrettable is what the police did after the victim’s car stopped. I will not describe, watch the video added to this article and draw your own conclusions. Pay attention to the following detail: the victim removed from the car was still alive.

This is why i stop travelling outside the United States. I see too much about brutality in other countries and we have enough of that here in this country. Although it seems worse overseas.

The world at large seems to be becoming a very brutal place. The US is no different form any other country.

I don’t know what is happening! That comment is not mine. When I saw I got confused, probably it must be some sort of bug, unless I’m completely crazy.

Oh Brazil is an extremely violent country especially in the slums. There are countless, and by countless, I mean really countless unaccounted numbers of cases where the police showed utter contempt for human life. They cleaned streets of homeless people comprising mostly children and teenagers by shooting them dead.

The Brazilian slums are the fertile grounds where criminals breed. They are the nurseries of criminals and almost all young men are sucked into it. We cannot blame only the police officers for such actions. They are too stressed in Brazil.

The whole of Latin America is like that only. No surprises if the police mistakenly shot and killed. By the way such incidences happen routinely around the world. It has happened in the United States as well and it will continue to happen in the future.

I don’t know of any metropolitan site that doesn’t have its share of violence. Social malaise seems to be relegated much in cities.

It’s also where the police seems to be busiest, in more ways than one.

Another child was killed by the police today. And the Governor of Rio keep saying that the Police is right.

More and more that song ”Kill the poor” (Dead Kennedys) is becoming reality.
