The DrugCriminal-police clash in Brazil’s Rio has risen to military level combat.
The amazing aspect is the anti-Police pushback by people and organizations that should be supportive.
Reminiscent of the support in NY Queens for Mafioso John Gotti.

Apparently no tears or commendations for the four officers killed.
How deep into the carpet of society have the criminals infiltrated in order to generate that much local support and sympathy?
Wonder: How many American’s have these Drug people poisoned?

About 2,500 Brazilian police and soldiers launched a massive raid on a drug-trafficking gang in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday, arresting 81 suspects and sparking shootouts that left at least 60 (132?) suspects and four police officers dead, officials said.
-
The operation included officers in helicopters and armored vehicles and targeted the notorious Red Command in the sprawling low-income favelas of Complexo de Alemao and Penha, police said.
The police operation was one of the most violent in Brazil's recent history, with human rights organizations calling for investigations into the deaths.
-
Rio’s state Gov. Claudio Castro said in a video posted on X that 60 criminal suspects were “neutralized” during the massive raid that he called the biggest such operation in the city's history. Some 81 suspects were arrested, while 93 rifles and more than half a ton of drugs were seized, the state government said, adding that those killed “resisted police action.”

Rio's civil police said on X that four officers died in Tuesday's operation. “The cowardly attacks by criminals against our agents will not go unpunished,” it said.

The number of people known to have been killed in a deadly police raid in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday has risen to 132, officials say.
This is more than double the figure cited after the police operation in the favelas (poor neighborhoods) of Alemão and Penha, in the north of Rio de Janeiro, on Tuesday.
