he scale of Rio de Janeiro’s military and civil police involvement in the excessive use of force is chilling. And it is hardly a new phenomenon. In 2003 they were responsible for 1,195 civilian deaths across Rio de Janeiro state, most of them young black men. In 2007, 1,330 citizens reportedly died in the course of police action. These numbers are breathtaking when you consider that in 2015, across the whole of the US (a country with a population more than 50% larger than Brazil’s) an estimated 1,134 people were killed by police.

How did Rio's police become known as the most violent in the world?
Are Rio de Janeiro's military and civil police really the world's most violent? That is the conclusion of separate studies released by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch earlier this year
