Violence in Rio’s Complexo do Alemão continues with the death of two police officers over the past week. The growing number of civilian fatalities during clashes of this nature in Brazil has attracted international attention. Between 2001 and 2011, more than ten thousand people were killed during police confrontations in the state of Rio in cases classified as ‘acts of resistance’, according to a study by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), led by sociologist Michel Misse.
