On Sunday, the taxi driver Paulo Roberto Amaral, father of John, the boy of 3 years shouted in Rio for two PMs, made a moving and desabafo question: "What is the police?"

The police, of Rio de Janeiro, is what kills most of the world, today informed the Estadão. And this is not a recent fact: the police apparatus Fluminense is in this macabre podium since 2003.

This year, died as a result of police action 1195 people. Deaths occurred in confrontations, by the criteria of the police. In police jargon, this is "file of resistance."

The five murders, is one of authors of the police.

The journalist Bruno Paes Manso found that not even the South African police, taken as the violent, is páreo for police fluminenses. In South Africa, in 2003 the deaths resulting from clashes gave a total of 681.

The United States, where parents also thrives on violence, are far from the podium macabre: that year, up 370 recorded victims of police actions. This total, up notes, refers to the total number of all regions of that country.

In the State of Sao Paulo, the total "file of resistance" is less than that of Rio, but still are significant: there were 756 deaths that year.

The violence of the police in Rio and Sao Paulo is how it is absurd when compared with that of some European countries. In France, in 2003 two people died in such circumstances. In Portugal, only one.

Such comparisons, of course, must be viewed with some reservation, because the criteria for registration of deaths at odds vary from one city to another. In addition, interest of the corporation by police, the records can be manipulated (United States date, for example, I was not very convincing).

We also need to take into account that most of the cities of poor countries do not keep records of that cause of death. What we do not serve as a comfort.
