As America battles racist cops and police brutality it seems like this is happening in Brazil as well.
Even as protesters and police face off on the streets of Minneapolis after the murder of 46-year-old African-American George Floyd on suspicion of committing fraud, 14-year-old boy João Pedro Matos Pinto was on Monday, May 18 shot dead. He was playing with a cousin in his uncle’s house in São Gonçalo, in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, when Civil and Military police supposedly on the heels of drug dealers shot him dead in the stomach.
Pinto was airlifted by the security agents in a Civil Police helicopter and taken to the Firefighter aerial operations, south of Rio, about 18km away without notifying any family member of the boy. According to the Fire Department, Pinto was already dead upon arrival per a doctor’s assessment.
It will be on Tuesday morning, May 19, a whole 17 hours later that Pinto’s lifeless body was found at the IML (Legal Medical Institute) of the city. The Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro (PCRJ) claimed it has initiated an investigation to look into the death of the teenager killed during the police operation.
While PCRJ noted that the operation aimed to carry out two search and seizure warrants against leaders of a criminal faction, it added “during the action, drug dealers’ security guards tried to escape by jumping over the wall of a house. They fired at the police and threw grenades at the agents.”
Pinto’s cousin Daniel Blaz, who witnessed the invasion and was with him gave a different version of events. Blaz stated aside using firearms, agents of the Federal and Civil police threw grenades at Pinto’s home, adding the security agents invaded the residence and threw a grenade at the door.
“Closest to the door were me and João. There was a buzz. Then they took a lot of shots at the window, and we came out running to the room. We ran to the room, João and Duda were in the pantry, lying down,” the young man continued. “The police came in, told us to lie on the floor and everyone to shut up,” he detailed.
Pinto’s father Neilton Matos said officers forged a version of the police action that killed his teenage son, adding the walls of the property have at least 72 marks of gunshots.
He also denied criminals had invaded the residence, as stated in the police version stressing “there were no bandits. They entered the house and threw two grenades, besides the shots. There were only teenagers of the family.”
“João was not on the street in confrontation. He was inside a house, a home. Nobody has the right to enter someone’s home and take the life of a 14-year-old,” he lamented.
“If justice is not done here, God’s will be, but we hope it will be fulfilled here. My son had dreams, he already knew what he wanted. He wanted to be a lawyer and he was able to do that. A son with good grades, a boy 100%”, he recalled.
This is not good. What’s really going on with law enforcement across the globe?? It seems like an all out attack on melanated people This is ridiculous and it must be stopped.


Excellent post. I used to be checking continuously this blog and I am impressed!
Extremely useful information particularly the remaining part 🙂 I handle such
information much. I was seeking this certain info for a long time.
Thank you and good luck.
It’s great that you are getting thoughts from this piece of writing as well as from our dialogue made at this place.
While watching calorie consumption is necessary,
extreme calorie restriction can be counterproductive and probably harmful, especially when coping with
a serious medical condition. A balanced approach to food regimen, specializing in nutrient-dense
meals and portion control, is mostly more practical
and sustainable. Patients with persistent diseases, corresponding to rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel illness, who
require long-term steroid therapy, face ongoing challenges in managing weight achieve.
For these individuals, the steadiness between controlling their
AAS‐dependence was evaluated in a standardized clinical interview using a model of the Structured Scientific Interview for DSM‐IV, adapted to
apply to AAS‐dependence. This research used cross‐sectional information from a longitudinal examine
on male weightlifters. This might help treat autoimmune circumstances, corresponding to rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, which
are brought on by the immune system mistakenly attacking the
physique. Inform your physician when you take another medicines, together with natural treatments and supplements, earlier
than starting steroid tablets.
Ophthalmic and ultrasound examinations showed no
indicators of temporal arteritis. They were
adverse for autoantibodies (RF, anti-CCP antibody, ANA, anti-SS-A antibody, anti-SS-B antibody,
MPO-ANCA, and PR3-ANCA). Their white blood cell counts and ranges of creatinine
and liver enzymes were inside the regular ranges.
A 76-year-old feminine patient couldn’t get out of the car after a three-hour experience one day in February 2020
because of shoulder and pelvic area pain. Two months later,
an MRI showed fluid in the bursa around her shoulder (Figure 2D).

If you’re a competitor in any sports activities or contests, Anadrol falls beneath the
same guidelines as all different AAS in that it’s completely
prohibited. But that doesn’t imply you’ll be capable of get your arms on pharmaceutical-grade Anadrol.
To obtain it legally, you’d need a prescription from your physician to use
Oxymetholone to treat anemia. Sadly, pharma-grade Anadrol isn’t only hard to seek
out but also very expensive. Folks should spend several thousand dollars within the US to buy Anadrol for medical purposes.
Recovery between sets will be much more
