Brazil Similar to Mexico

The Guardian reports on the tremendous violence taking place in Rio de Janeiro.

Triggered by a spate of attacks on police and drivers, the incursions began on Tuesday and involved hundreds of heavily armed police operatives, bulletproof vehicles and helicopters.

About 150 people were arrested during the sweeps by 17,500 officers while at least 22 people have been killed since Sunday, according to Rio's military police.
Did they say 17,500 police? That really is a war.

You know when the American press picks this up they'll be reporting on where all the guns down there come from. I can't wait. What about you?
