Rio de Janeiro Drug Gang Shoots Down Police Chopper

submitted by gtjwkq

10-17-2009 - The police chopper was shot over a favela and landed and burned down inside the Olympic Village in Vila Isabel. Two military police officers in the chopper died either on the crash or burned to death. It has been an all out war today, ten were killed by the police in retaliation, at least seven buses burned down by criminals.

Brazilians must be happy this didn't happen before Rio got the 2016 Olympics.

Apparently the buses were burned down in another part of town in a concerted effort to divert police while the criminals responsible for shooting down the chopper escaped.

Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Saturday, October 17th, 2009 3:07pm PDT - promote requested by original submitter gtjwkq.

Horrible. But until they end Drug Prohibition they'll be massive profits for the scum to make and the war will continue.

Even if 30% of Rio became coke addicts, how could that be more anarchic/worse than this?

hahaha see guys? much better pick then chicago!

Indeed. Isn't it interesting that this is how bad things are in Rio, and the majority of the International Olympic Committee would still prefer to go to Rio over Chicago??
