Topic: Is this real? Brazil pre-WC clean up - graphic Posted: May 28 2014 at 1:05pm |
On Facebook a picture has gone viral titled ‘Street kids murdered to clean up Brazil ahead of the World Cup’.The message claims that the picture has been made in Brazil, right after the Brazilian police shot multiple kids in the favelas. As the World Cup is going to take place soon, a lot of media and attention is being given to Brazil. The ‘Street kids murdered to clean up Brazil’ picture is one of the shocking things that are taking place in the Brazilian favelas.

^^This picture was posted by the police on their Facebook page, where they bragged about their “successful” work. They say: “We don’t go into favelas to die. We go in there to kill.”

@the wonderful.....
there was no article with the pic. Its a viral image. Allegations-- but the daily mail has more -- military/police have in fact gone into the slums to "clean up"...but daily mail doesnt mention murders...
The Brazilian government has deployed forces to one of Rio de Janeiro's largest slums - in a clean-up operation which aims to reduce crime in the city ahead of the World Cup.
Federal forces are here pictured entering the violence-plagued Complexo da Mare - one of Brazil's biggest slums - 'favelas' in Portuguese.
These pictures show troops storming the favela bearing guns in bullet-proof vehicles while a helicopter circles above.
The faces of the 130,000 residents who live on the Mare complex have also been pictured. Mare is formed of 16 separate communities and has been riddled with drugs and dominated by gangs and militias.
It is close to Rio's international airport, which means that visitors must drive past it on their way into the city.
Senior officials have denied that the Mare clean-up is related to the World Cup - claiming that they aim to improve the lives of Rio favela residents.

One police officer is pictured here holding a man up against a wall while he searches him. Troops took over the favela this afternoon - six weeks before the World Cup

Pacification officers, known as the UPP, will soon occupy and control life within the slum. UPP officers come in after federal troops 'clean-up' a slum imprisoning drug dealers in an attempt to rid the favela of crime. Pictured behind the children are community posters advertising items that are up for sale.....
these pics...the photography so beautiful, but the images are so sad at the same time
Community spirit is strong in the Brazilian slums where residents exist almost apart from the rest of society. Shanty towns in Rio are built into the hills weaved into the city

You should definitely add "dead children pics" to the disclaimer in the title Hopefully that's not real
