Does anyone have any idea how well armed the Mafia etc. are in Brazil, are we talking quality and quantity of the cartels in Mexico?
probably way way more quantity with similar or lower quality.
its a fuckton of guys with assault rifles and rocket launchers, they are organized and getting beaten.
Just saw a live video of around 30-60 guys leaving a favela by the hills hiding the woods, all had tons of gear, granades, rifles etc...
This is probably just a small part of a group, and theres more than 800 favelas in Rio, id they united, they could put anything mexico drug lords are able to muster in shame

I didn't knew stuff got so serious up there. Hope they can handle this well, looks like a pretty tense situation. Good luck man, stay safe

Criminals escaping to a neighboring slum.

Thats terrible news, stay safe

Stay safe and lie low man.

Seems like all the gangs being attacked by the police are running to the Complexo do Alemao where they are makinga hell of a stand, we probably wont take em down today
edit: damn this is bad news, live news are filming hundreds of gangsters heavily armed all going to the complexo do alemao because thats the hardest one to invade of them all, probably the most badass favela in the world atm.
|
Police Bigfail time...
all the gangs crossed the little jungle and reached complexo do alemao.
|
If they all get stuck in the same place can't the police just rain tear gas in there?
|
Man this is the kind of shit i'm scared about... war where I actually live. Don't die bro.

It might be a ludicrous and immature question, but why can't the government call in some truly heavy-duty weaponry (i.e. air support or the army, etc.)? Why can't it request help from military contractors or get all the troops to organize?

Thousands of innocent people live in the favelas, most of the time the gangsters will invade people houses and use them as human shields then the action beggins.
So police only attacks when they are 100% sure of success
edit
theres already tons of tanks and heavly armed vehicles everywhere, copters and the like, its just hard to get a clean target in the middle of all the mess
|
The criminals use innocent people as shield.
Thats what sucks, there are innocent people in the favelas. People who live a poor life of honest and hard work. We cant just send all the army shooting everybody in the favelas.
|
Man, this is geting worse and worse...

My girlfriend lives in Rio, and I was going there for 12 days. Turns out, now she is coming over with both of her parents. Can't really enjoy the city when it's like that =/

this is the area where the gangsters are bunkered up

Everyones guess is that they wanted the population to get pissed at the state and its failure and this halted the process of eliminating gangs and pacifying favelas that has been going strong lately.
To be honest, they are not really versed into a lot else than bribery and violence.
|
Do the police really need to raid Complexo do Alemao? Can't they just patrol the area and make sure no one with weapons escapes? That'd probably reduce casualties by a lot and would prevent some civilian casualties.

Wow, scary stuff. Keep us updated :o
