From http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-12857100">BBC:

Five Brazilian police officers have been arrested after television stations broadcast a video in which some of them appear to shoot a 14-year-old-boy.

The footage - captured by a security camera in the city of Manaus - shows uniformed men pushing the teenager before shooting him in the chest.

The boy survived with several wounds and is now in a witness protection programme along with his family.

More at the link! Tragic story revealing there is no bottom to police brutality without oversight. Reminds me of the death of Muhammad al-Durrah.

3. I remember when they were shooting homeless children there in the late 1980's. They didn't 'look

good for the tourists apparently. Fuckers.

Can't find out what boy was supposed to be doing to "deserve" to be shot. Fuckers.

4. For many years, Brazil has had a problem with police "cleaning up the streets"

by murdering street kids and kids the police suspect are street kids
