Ya know I was planning to go to Brazil for World Cup 2014 but I saw what the World Cup did to South Africa. Already it seems that Brazil have plans to wall off the slums and make certain they can't be seen by the visitors.

That got me thinking...is there any social action group in the US that can use the World Cup as a back drop to help the Brazilian people obviously one that already has roots in Brazil? I think it would be a great idea while all eyes are on Brazil to not shy away from showing how the slums around Sao Paulo are being shut down and cleared out. Or are we gonna continue to see every once in awhile something like this?

What is happening at ca 0:34 and a few seconds onward? Looks like another cop coming to the boys aid shooting or shooting a warning shot at his colleague? More info on this whole thing would be interesting, I knew the Brazilian police was corrupt but shooting a 14-year old boy in the chest in broad daylight is something else.
