Summary
In Rio de Janeiro, a team of privately funded are patrolling the street in tourist areas and hauling homeless people off to police stations. The Officers are currently serving military police officers working on their days off and ex-army officers, wearing identifiable high-visibility vests, colour-coded by area. Although hey has been accused of unfairly targeting young black youths and the homeless, others disagree. The government said it regards the project, the first of its kind in the city, as “fantastic” and “absolutely positive”.
Opinion
Targeting only dark-skinned people is terrible, of course. But it is the case; they protects the citizens’ life. We should take into account it when we think of police. In japan, police officers often hide and ambush in order to catch and punish speeders. Some people, including me, say “They are cowardice.” I also think, however, it is “Necessary Evil” because of their acts rightly contribute to our peace. We might have to search the way to coexist with them.
