I have been to rio and for instance "Complexo do alemao" is the size of 100 soccer fields or more! And not all of the habitants are gangsters and drug smugglers you can't just kill them all, that's the difficult part of it! Anyone that doesn't have guns or drugs is not a gangster but they might just pick them up once police are gone! I'm sad for Brasil they deserve better but they are winning the war and the gangs are having harder times that's why they are in the streets trying to shut down the city but the normal people won't take it anymore and will help the police! Because for years the police were worse then the gangster because some dude that controled a favela(slums) would take care of the community much more then the government but right now brasil is better and are helping the poor communitys. This is another proof that the gangster are losing it! Boa sorte! e tem cuidado com esses filhos da puta! | ||

After Rio was chosen to host the 2016 olympics summer games and also some soccer games of the 2014 World Cup, all the world wasn't very sure if the "public security" of the city could handle such a thing, so the goverment came up with a thing that they call "UPP", which means "Pacifier Police Unit", this is a police headquarter that they want to build in every "favela" that is dominated by criminals, so they can take the control of these areas back to the State. So far they have been succesful executing this plan and building an UPP in some small favelas, but the thing is, after the police took control of some areas that were dominated by criminals, they didn't killed or arrested every one that was involved with the "mafia", so these ones that scaped had to go somewhere else, and they went to this exactly favela that the police is trying to build an UPP right now, the "Complexo do Alemão". The police found out that they were all hidden there because some leaders of the mafia in here ordered the bandits to make attaks in order to show the police that they didn't like the UPP thing. So all the mafia members went out the street making vandalism arround the Complexo do Alemão area, and by doing so they just got the police attention to that area and now they're so damn fucked up because this time the State really wants to put an end to their "drugs kingdom", only because of the 2014 & 2016 things. I am sorry for english mistakes, I don't really speak english =/ | ||

Id bet the governement is in alot of pressure to stop this now before the rest of the world hears about it. Exactly, the police wants to take control of the areas that are dominated by the mafia before the begining of the games, so brazil can pretend to the world that everything is OK arround here, but right after the end of the games everything is gunna go back to the way it was. | ||

They are kinda like a heavily-armored minivan for the army. It takes a few of the soldiers where they need to go safely. It'll really be time to worry if they bring something heavier into the city..... But this is already pretty nuts..... Keep safe! | ||

Dunno about quantity in Rio, but as a whole in Brazil there are many more cartels than Mexico (maybe because our country has a biger size...) About quality, i can't be sure but every news I read say they're well equiped with a great quantity of restricted use weapons (ones that can be only used by national army) | ||

Most likely to be civilians running away from their homes to find somewhere safe EDIT: Just found this video: Click to watch This video show criminals armed with heavy weapons positioning to engage against cops... The short description bellow the video reads : Police say criminals are willing to engage. Images show several drug dealers circling the area. Criminals set a truck on fire. | ||
