Brazilian Police Film Their Own Deaths

Posted Aug 29, 2011 by vlogger

In 2014 the World Cup will be held in Brazil. A lot of money is invested in infrastructure and safety for foreigners. Those taking care of that safety are underpaid and in constant danger. An unknown person is protesting against the low salaries of Brazilian policemen and released this film showing the death of two policemen in a Favela (a shanty town) near Rio (attack occurs at 01:12). Translation of the text in this video is as follows: 1. In clashes with heavily armed gangs, police and fireman risk their lives in the shantytowns (favelas). Their work is not appreciated enough but they continue to do their jobs. 2. When a police officer leaves his home for work he does not know if he will be back. If the officer is killed his family will only receive a pension. How much is the life of a police officer worth? 3. Police officers were patroling in a violent neighborhood. One of them was using eyeglasses with a camera in order to record the events since they already had been targeted with stones. Unfortunately the camera recorded their deaths when they were attacked with gunfire. 4. PEC 300 would provide better salaries and work conditions (PEC 300 is a package of benefits that police and firemen want to be turned into law).

    We all want to see everyone receive better pay & benefits especially those honorable police officers, fireman, military personnel who truly protect the innocent in the pursuit of justice against the lawless. But no amount of money will bring back the dead officers or assuage their surviving families anguish. There's more to the story of the Brazilian police and this video with it's caption tells only a truth and not the greater truth. Indeed the favelas and their violent armed gangs are to be reckoned with, they imprison their own neighbors & neighborhoods under an umbrella of violence disguised as supposed "protection". But the caption intro points out a long known flaw/problem of the LEOs of Brazils' most violent municipalities/prefectures: THEY are also known for their corruption & violence towards any citizens they selectively deem criminals or threats while hiding behind the color of authority. Police officers have been video taped (summarily executing) murdering suspected or indentified gang members when they're detained, that is not justice and compromises justice. No amount of improved wages will remove this culture of contempt & corruption, they need to create a culture/..

    ..attitude of professionalism in service to their law-abiding citizens and adhere to principles of justice. Until the LEOs behave as true goodguys instead of their own version an armed gang the plague of reciprocating civil violence will continue.
