Teams of marksmen next year will patrol swaths of Rio de Janeiro with high-powered weapons and a license to kill, said a security adviser to Governor-elect Wilson Witzel.
As many as 120 sharpshooters will accompany police incursions into the slums of Brazil’s postcard city to exterminate gun-toting criminals, according to Flavio Pacca, a longtime associate of Witzel who the governor-elect’s press office said will join the administration. The shooters will work in pairs -- one to pull the trigger, one to monitor conditions and videotape deaths.
“The protocol will be to immediately neutralize, slaughter anyone who has a rifle,” Witzel, a federal judge and former Brazilian marine, told reporters in Brasilia on Dec. 12. “Whoever has a rifle isn’t worried about other people’s lives, they’re ready to eliminate anyone who crosses their path. This is a grave problem, not just in Rio de Janeiro, but also in other states.”
Rio has long exemplified Brazil’s charm and its chaos, and what happens there echoes at home and abroad. Like President-elect Jair Bolsonaro, Witzel cruised to victory in October promising a brutal crackdown on criminals who make daily life a harrowing ordeal. Rio will be a proving ground for Bolsonaro’s philosophy of maximum force -- and whether law enforcement devolves into a storm of extrajudicial killings.

coming to a neighborhood near you soon after 2020 or 2024.
I’m rooting for the people with rifles.
During Barrack presidency more than 400 million firearms were bought by civilians in the United States of America. That is more than the army, navy, airforce and marines own, combined. No, this will not happen here.
““The protocol will be to immediately neutralize, slaughter anyone who has a rifle,”
Some Democrats dream of doing this.
But I am open to the idea of letting citizens handle the job.
Famous last words.
Yes they do, and soon there will be a lot more of them than us. A LOT more.
I suspect turnabout will be fair play.
The army, navy, airforce and marines have a lot more than just firearms.

Same.
A whole city full of “Dirty Harrys”. With a REAL attitude.
Who guards us from the guardians?
I am aware, you must find someone to use those devices against countrymen, in order to make them count.
It is truly mindboggling how many people remember saying this in 1934 Germany.
“This” is an anagram of “$#!+”.
Substitute that in the phrase. Then it becomes even more “famous last words”.
If you think there will be a shortage of volunteers willing to do that type of work, you are deluding yourself.
Normally I would agree but the citizens are living in total fear of the gang violence that has taken over. Only the military can bring it under control.......
"SÃO PAULO, Brazil — Brazil has beat its own macabre record for homicides: 63,880 people were murdered across the country in 2017, up 3 percent from the year before, according to a new study.:
Organized crime is one of the driving factors behind the rise.
"Brazil’s murder rate has soared as rival drug gangs battle for territory in a country that shares borders with the three biggest cocaine producing countries in the world — Colombia, Peru and Bolivia. Brazil is a major consumer of both cocaine and crack and a key transit point for cocaine headed to Europe and Asia."
I can see the revolution going full bore with the elimination of local politicians, police chiefs, teachers, and bureaucrats.
Not delusional, realist. One must own several firearms, and thousands of rounds of ammunition. Just as the founders, some of us will die, we will win.
