I gotta say, this police raid on that favela in Rio was pretty messed up
. Like, I know the Red Command is a big crime syndicate and all, but do we really need 2,500 cops and soldiers storming into these neighborhoods, causing chaos and killing 132 people? That's just crazy. And what's with the fact that nobody knew about this operation beforehand? It sounds like a huge mess.
I'm not saying the Brazilian government is off the hook or anything, but I think we need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture here. Is it really worth sacrificing lives like this in the name of "security" and "law enforcement"? And what about the poor civilians who get caught in the crossfire? They're just pawns in a game that's more interested in perpetuating itself than actually making progress.
And don't even get me started on the fact that Governor Castro is refusing to resign despite all this outrage. Like, come on dude, you need to take responsibility for your actions and step down if people are calling for it. This whole situation just smells like a cover-up to me
