Protesters rallied at the store to demand justice for 40-year-old João Alberto Silveira Freitas. Black Brazilians are nearly 3x more likely to be victims of homicide, per govt data. — AJ+ (@ajplus)The pardon for security agents who kill in the exercise of their duties has been defended by Bolsonaro for decades and was included in a security bill sent to Congress last year, which finally vetoed the article.&nbsp;Last week, Bolsonaro announced a new bill on the same subject, while calling the press and human rights organizations&nbsp;opposing the measure "hypocritical".The right-wing president has repeatedly defended the use of force to punish crime, thus justifying police brutality and the disproportionate use of force.At least 11 municipalities have been affected by rainstorms and flooding in southern Brazil. Landslides caused by the storm led to widespread destruction and blocked roads. — teleSUR English (@telesurenglish)byComment0Sign In or Register to leave a comment, use the forums and morePost with no comments.
