Rio 911

You may have heard of the War going on in Rio de Janiero.  It is a war between the Civil Police and the Drug Cartel.  You may also have heard that the Olympics and the World Cup are in Danger of being moved due to the violence in Rio.  1st off, we are fine where we are.  There is little violence where we are in comparison.  The Drug Cartel is huge in Rio de Janiero and is progressively getting worse.  Actually, Brasil has been cleaning up the Favelas (poor areas) for some time now and now a cleansing is long overdue in Rio.  The drug cartel has taken over an area let’s say close to the size of Fort Collins.  In this area police are not allowed in.  There is a line and if police cross it they will be shot at.  The problem is that there are a lot of civilians who live there that cannot get the help of the police if needed.  There only hope for justice is up to the drug cartel.  The cartel has taken care of the people but it is up to their digression as how to handle the problems.  Finally the police, the Government and the people have had it.  A week or so ago the Cartel wanted to show the police who was in charge and crossed the lines into the city and began to burn Busses and Cars.  Like 300.  Then 3days ago the police gave all civilians a chance to get out and for the cartel to surrender by midnight.  Those who did not leave or surrender are now going to be cleansed.  As of now the police are clearing out the Favelas one by one in hope to create a more peaceful place for the people and tourists.  Rio is a beautiful city and a very popular tourist destination.  I want to go.
