A recent police operation in Rio de Janeiro has resulted in the deaths of at least 132 people, marking it as the bloodiest police raid in Brazilian history. The crackdown aimed at drug gangs has ignited widespread outrage, leading thousands of residents in the favelas to protest against the violence and demand justice for the victims. Witness accounts describe horrific scenes with bodies piling up as local families mourn their loved ones. The operation, which involved intense confrontations with gangs, has raised serious concerns about policing methods and human rights, with claims of executions and torture surging in the aftermath. Demonstrators are calling for the resignation of local officials, including the state governor, amidst calls for significant reform in policing tactics to combat organized crime effectively.
