about 2,500 security personnel
That's the size of a small army.
80+ arrested 50+ (gang members) dead. That ratio is insane.
The Red Command (Comando Vermelho) responded with gunfire, burning barricades and dropping bombs from drones, officials said.
That's also insane.
This is maybe a bit of a harsh opinion, but I feel like these gang members got what they deserved.
