It is interesting to note how incidents like this, on behalf of the military, legitimize the methods of the police. It is assumed that the drug dealers are playing by their own rules instead of adapting to and exploiting a corrupt system. The impoverished people they supposedly prey on do have rights to security, though this "crackdown" comes as a result of the international press and their interest in showcasing the powers of states.
i heard last semester on a class i had, that the police is trying to keep favelas more secure and have a better relationship with the people who live in them, because as you may know, the World Cup is taking place in Brazil in 2014.So i believe more incidents as such, are going to keep going on until than
