Police attempt to fight fear in Rio Favelas

Only a few weeks after Rio won its bid to host the Olympics Games in 2016, crime levels have become a major concern after a police helicopter was shot down. Since then, almost 50 people have been killed in clashes between police and rival drug gangs.

I think the lesson to be learned here is that when you allow your officers to randomly feel up teenaged boys, you're going to lose police helicopters.

put a woman in charge to make it softer....er......??

No fear? But frisk young boys a little too confidently without even saying anything.

A brazilian friend of mine who grew up in Sao Paulo favelas mentioned eye contact with the police...or rather you grow up learning not to give them any or you'd be in serious trouble...

..check 0.21....1.15...1.26...not even the rat looked them in the eye :o)
