What is happening in Brazil.

[O Ilusionista]

In recent days, we're living here in Brazil tense moments that popular revolt. The outrage took care of almost everyone. Began with an increase in bus fare and grew into something bigger.

Unfortunately, many excesses occurred. Some protesters, acting like rabid dogs, smashed, looted, vandalized public property. On the other hand, police excesses committed, attacking good people, shooting at the people.

In the last protest, the police did the correct ensured the physical integrity of peaceful demonstrators. Only small groups of rioters insisted cause confusion.

I support any manifestation, provided it is peaceful, respecting people, public and private property and the rights of others. But totally condemn claim by force, assaulting, committing crimes. I was taught that it is not good if you use it for evil.

Let me explain for people who live outside Brazil what is going on:



Thousands Gather for Protests in Brazil’s Largest Cities

SÃO PAULO, Brazil — Protesters showed up by the thousands in Brazil’s largest cities on Monday night in a remarkable display of strength for an agitation that had begun with small protests against bus-fare increases, then evolved into a broader movement by groups and individuals irate over a range of issues including the country’s high cost of living and lavish new stadium projects.

The growing protests rank among the largest and most resonant since the nation’s military dictatorship ended in 1985, with demonstrators numbering into the tens of thousands gathered here in São Paulo, Brazil’s largest city, and other large protests unfolding in cities like Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Curitiba, Belém and Brasília, the capital, where marchers made their way to the roof of Congress.

Sharing a parallel with the antigovernment protests in Turkey, the demonstrations in Brazil intensified after a harsh police crackdown last week stunned many citizens. In images shared widely on social media, the police here were seen beating unarmed protesters with batons and dispersing crowds by firing rubber bullets and tear gas into their midst.

“The violence has come from the government,” said Mariana Toledo, 27, a graduate student at the University of São Paulo who was among the protesters on Monday. “Such violent acts by the police instill fear, and at the same time the need to keep protesting.”
