Brazil: violence in (merged thread)

[davidbfpo]

Not what one expects, let alone the Brazilian military police:

Brazil's military police have killed six people in response to a gang assault against a Rio de Janeiro Police Pacification Unit, as the city's "pacification" program wavers in the face of regrouping gangs and a lack of progress in resolving social problems.Men in one of the cars opened fire, shooting two police officers, one of which later died.
