BRAZIL: Police unrest on hold until after Carnival
Two strikes by state police forces, a violent one in Bahia, a lower-intensity one in Rio de Janeiro, ended within days as a result of the rapid response by state and federal governments — the former seeking to meet some of the strikers’ demands, the latter making it clear that violence would be resisted and those resorting to it would be prosecuted. The two were called off before the beginning of Carnival, but there are indications that police dissatisfaction will surface again once the tourists have left.
