Rio's massive police operation was necessary to combat narcoterrorism from Comando Vermelho gangs using drone bombs against officers. The well-planned raid mobilized 2,500 officers, equipped with advanced technology, to dismantle criminal syndicates controlling over 100,000 residents. This coordinated effort highlights serious law enforcement tackling organized crime that has long terrorized these communities.
Rio's police operation was a reckless massacre that turned favelas into war zones, killing 64 people in what amounts to state-sanctioned executions. The operation continued despite being leaked beforehand, showing complete disregard for civilian and officer safety. This bloodbath shows failed leadership prioritizing spectacle over actual public security through intelligence and planning.
