Brazil at war with drug cartels As some of you may know, one of the main strategies to combat organized crime of the elected Rio de Janeiro government was to create Unidade de Polícia Pacificadoras ("UPP"), which consists mainly of two steps: (i) a huge police task went and expel the drug dealers and then (ii) occupy with police to ensure the security, while providing the residents with public services that they were denied by the organized crime (hospitals, schools, internet access and so on). The goal was to integrate the police with the residents, thus creating a positive environment which could repel the drug dealers by itself when they returned (this may seem dumb, but the lack of society in the slums create a perfect environment for the drug dealers). Everything went fine and slum after slum received its UPP, but as simple math can show, the drug dealers had to go somewhere. And they were holing in a slum known as Vila Cruzeiro (aprox. 70 thousand residents) and decided they had to shoot back. And so they started to create hell: burning cars and buses (I guess over one hundred by now) and shoot the police. What they couldn't foresee was the reaction from the government. Local police, military police, federal police and the navy went in full force to counter it. The result? The city is at war. http://n.i.uol.com.br/ultnot/album/2...3rio_f_164.jpg http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/5564/18648517.png http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/2351/78278578.png http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/7251/51762263.png http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/6218/36740663.png http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/6836/bope.png Fucking awesome pictures... looks like its out of a movie or video game |

this could make into a good movie with the premises |
MAN these guys look fucking BADASS! |
If only they did this in downtown Eastside and anywhere else with drug dealers in Canada, I'd be grateful. |
Good on the Brazilian gov't for taking serious affirmative action. I wonder if they have brought in PMC's as well. Posted via RS Mobile |

First pic is straight gangstaaaaaaa. |
The police look more gansta than the gangsters! |
Many of the photos show the human face of the conflict, the polica officers are very brave as are the soldiers, but its the photos of innocent people bleeding, children having automatic weapons pointed at them and bodies laying in the street that everyone should see. Our city was in panic when the shooting spree began, but these people are living through something much worse everyday. I wanted to post some of those photos, but I can't figure out how. |

yeah saw it on the news earlier i guess that explains why google street view had to remove lots of dead bodies because of the gang war and the gang/police war prolly wont change anything though |
Absolutely not surprised, it's been the fucking wild west in the slums down there for a long time. |
