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.
