A few of the high speed fellas down this way have had a fair bit to do with training some Brazilian units(BOPE I believe) back in the day post service.
I've always been fascinated with Brazil's mix of mega city cosmopolitan mixed with the self governed mega ghetto/favelas.
It seems like a mix of Bladerunner, Judge Dredd, and Kilcullen's "Out of the Mountains".
As I understand it, Brazil's mega ghetto gangs are largely controlled from prison.
I wonder what leverage those gangs are putting on government and LE, and what leverage government and LE are putting on the gangs to "play nice" for the duration of the Olympics?
I hope the games go well, but I would not want my kids competing there.
