Dozens of heavily armed commandos could be seen Thursday frisking residents and going house to house in the Mare complex of slums
Elite special forces raided a slum in Rio de Janeiro Thursday after officers providing security at the Olympics made a wrong turn and encountered gunfire. One police officer was shot in the head, and was recovering at a local hospital.
The officers from Brazil's national security force were using a GPS device to navigate unfamiliar streets when they took a wrong turn off a highway leading to Rio's international airport. Their truck was sprayed with bullets, and one officer, Helio Vieira, was shot in the head.

Of course....a new Olympic event! Urban shithole survival marathon....
Should have been awarded to Chicago only 9 murdered their yesterday
Holding international events in third world countries is such a great idea that we should move the United Nations World Headquarters to Mogadishu.
Fun, fun, fun in third world hellholes... then again it’s probably NOT as bad as Chicago...
Nice place.
I’m asking my GPS vendor for a new map category: Neighborhoods Where They’ll Shoot Yer Azz Just For Being There. It’d probably be a big seller.
What was it that black muzzie fencer said the other day about not feeling safe in the United States?
Could have been worse, they could have been in Chicago.
BTW, since it is winter south of the equator, shouldn’t these be the Winter Olympics? I mean, beach volleyball in cold weather gear ... sheesh!
Kinda like Oakland...
But, but, I thought Brazil banned civilian ownership of firearms.
“...only 9 murdered [in Chicago] yesterday...”
It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity causing this! /s
I agree with the FReeper who wrote, a while ago, that the Olympics should be held in Greece, and Greece only. They could establish permanent facilities there with top-notch security. There is no reason to keep switching sites every four years.
They’re their there.
The reason for moving the venue every 4 years is that it results in great profits for the elites who rule our society.
I’ve made the same mistake... It’s funny when and where it pops up while typing.
Chicongo, you say?
Shooting from taylor into Comiskey park!!!
LOL!! Excellent!!
That is why Chicago wanted the 2016 Olympics.
