In Rio, organized crimes do control most of the slums, and yes, they heave a lot of big guns (not rocket laucher or nukes) but some nice guns...


Actually, Im pretty sure they have american grenade launchers, and night vision goggles. Saw it in a documentary and they showed the confiscated weaponry.

But yeah, the state is so corrupt and the gangs thrive off the police, and vice versa. It was only a matter of time. The structure is too unstable.

The funny thing is, the police ram down the doors of favela civilians, but the rich are the ones buying the drugs.The wealthy class in Rio doesn't want the drug gangs on theuir turf but they're willing to buy their drugs. The policve know this but you don't see them busting down the doors of the wealthy.

I'm not saying this is an excuse for the gangs, just a reason.



Yes, they do have heavy guns, including rocket launchers. Last year they even took down a helicopter.

No its not, things are going pretty bad. But its nowhere near collapsing. Actually the government is getting some serious support from the population because of how antagonistic Drug dealers have been to the population.

Not that I think this war against them will do much, but please don't make such huge statements about stuff like that

I'm not referencing the helicopter. I saw in a documentary one of the BOPE officers saying that they found high tech equipment in the favelas, including launchers and night vision, stuff that even Brazilian athorities don't have. I'm just taking his word for it.

It's not wide-spread obviously but there are some cases where such weapons were confiscated. This is straight from a BOPE so if I'm wrong don't blame me.

I didn't say they took the helicopter with the rocketlauncher.
I said they took down the helicopter, which they did.
And that they have rocket launchers, which they do.
