Since June the Federal Supreme Court had suspended POLICE OPERATIONS in favelas during pandemic. Although they claim the operation was legal, the letality of it shows CLEARLY the abuse of power and cruelty of the police. They claimed the dead were criminals but didn't offer ID

"They said the main reason of the operation was to protect the kids. Now I ask you what about the 12 kids that died last year because of the police brutality, weren't they deserved of being worried for? there's no excuses for what happened today" https://twitter.com/carolenin21/status/1390430327970148357?s=19

Rio is known for having it's territory subdivided in the Red Command gang (CV), the Milicia (a criminal organization ran by police officers, military personnel and politicians) and the First Capital Command gang (PCC). Drug and gun trafficking, alongside money laundry, are common
