Are the cops in open revolt or just on strike? Because I remember them and the firefighters being on strike all the way back to the Olympics in Brazil.
Both. Brazilian police is divided in Military Police and Civil Police. A military policeman was arrested by the civil police because he was found burning some lady's car. And earlier this week another MP-man was arrested because he was driving around using balaclava and shooting upwards.
Also the PM (brazilian to military police) ordered shop owners to close down their shops, under threat. The PC (civil police) ordered them to open back. things be crazy.
@TempestOfTempo the pm are repressive forces, so naturally the state invested heavily in them to the point that every city has PM but not all cities have PC. The pc are smarter and has better 'quality' for lack of better wording since they work with intel.
The PM are qualified as military so they cant legally enter on strike. But since they are doing it they could at least keep the civilians alone in peace, but no. In times like these they actively work with the bandits. The multitude of errors with that senator with the bulldozer is so long that it doesn't fit here. Both sides are wrong, sadly.
