You guys make it sound like if World Cup doesn't happen in Brazil, the mafia in the slums won't be a problem at all. This is a crackdown on criminals, and it will happen sooner or later, with or without a world cup. So shut your whining and watch the show.

This shootout reminds me of the ending of "city of god."
That movie is rated 16 or 14+ in Brazil, kids under that age must watch with an adult. It is Rated R in the US.

I wish America was more equal rights like Brazil? Why can't America become a beautiful paradise of human rights like Brazil?

[motivationmusicmm]

I see it as a fight between the poor and the rich (of course the rich are sending the police ( police represent the poor who were hired to be middle class
)), at the end the poor man shoots on the poor, while the rich laugh
