Violence in the ＂Carnival Capital＂ continues. In 2017, the number of military and police sacrifices exceeded 100.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:In recent years, although the public security in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil has improved, the problem of violence in the city is still endless. In 2017, a total of 134 local military police were killed in Rio de Janeiro, making it the state with the highest number of military police deaths in Brazil. In Rio State, military police have become "high-risk occupations".

　　　　　　 Brazilian sociologists say that Rio’s security strategy is completely devoted to the "war" with drug dealers, and Rio is trying to crack down on drug crimes in an all-round way. Therefore, patrolling military police often clash with drug dealers, especially in slums.

　　　　　　 Of the 134 Rio policemen killed in 2017, 28 were killed in the line of duty. In addition to being killed in the fierce struggle with drug dealers, more military and police officers who died were victims of urban violence.

　　　　　　 In addition, out of professional instinct, when faced with danger, military police are often the first to rush ahead. Last October, Jarma, a Rio military police officer, was robbed by a jewelry store during his vacation. He immediately tried to stop it, but unfortunately he was shot several times and died at the age of 36.

　　　　　　 CCTV reporter Yang Tanli said: "During the interview, we found that the police often avoid or turn their backs when they see the camera. This is actually out of a kind of self-protection. Many policemen don’t want their appearance to appear on TV, because the exposure of their identity may put them in danger in their lives. "

　　　　　　 In addition, the "engagement" between the military police and criminal gangs often affects the life safety of civilians. To this end, the Rio state government has repeatedly asked the federal government for help and applied for the Brazilian army to maintain law and order in Rio during large-scale activities. However, the local urban safety research institute pointed out that this method is not a long-term solution, and Rio’s urban safety strategy should be adjusted to strengthen intelligence and prevention of criminal groups and reduce confrontation, thus reducing the tragedy of military and police being killed.
