As the World Cup quickly approaches,
there is little time to complete the necessary modifications.
One of the most important ones is
controlling the favelas in Brazil which are run by the most notorious gangs in
Brazil, like, Comando Vermelho.
More than 6000 troops occupy these
streets and things are only getting worse. “An escalation of murders, revenge
killings and fire-bombings have prompted talk of a war between the police and
gangsters. Favela residents and NGOs say the situation is now more tense than
at any time since 2010, when the authorities began a "pacification"
programme to regain control of communities from armed traffickers”. The stand-off
between gang members and officers is going to erupt into a war if something is
not negotiated with these gangs.
People will be flocking to Rio for
the World Cup and they will be passing through these streets, on their way to
and from the Brazilian International Airport. If they do not control these
people soon it will need to disastrous results come June.
The Police have a role in the problems
going on in Rio. Their rude treatment of the people has resulted in little
faith of the peace procedures. Both parties need to get their priorities straight
before something extreme happens during the World Cup.http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/24/brazil-army-rio-slums-violence-world-cup
I am also a FIFA fanatic. I think that security will be an issue in Brazil because it is a developing country.But it will not stop tourist from coming to the games. I hope Pele is in one of the games. How would you fix the problem would you add more forces? would you have sensibility training, or is it lack of education? Many people who become police officers in third world countries cause more chaos than what they fix. The other issue is that police brutality is common in third world countries its ridicules and people complain in the US.
ReplyDeletethat is very true, and police brutality has to end. But i actually do not know what i would do, because of how police behave i don't think having more would be a good idea but i also dont want the tourists who go their to end up dead.
