For the original article “When Will Society Start Listening\u00a0to the Favelas?” by Mujica Salinas in Portuguese published by M\u00eddia Coletiva click here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

A controversial piece from writer and poet Anderson Dinho challenges state security<\/a> policies in Rio de Janeiro, with the Pacifying Police Units (UPPs)<\/a> as its main focus.<\/p>\n

The post, which deconstructs the discourse which says that\u00a0\u201cthe only good criminal is a dead criminal<\/a>,\u201d caused the\u00a0Independent Media Collective’s<\/a>\u00a0social network pages to be blocked for two hours.<\/p>\n

The writer uses a brilliant eschatological discourse, building his narrative through a series of shocking situations which occur daily in the favelas and are dismissed in the day to day runnings of the government, institutions and mainstream media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Facebook restricted access to MIC\u2019s page, the independent group that published the text. Facebook only retracted this after being served notice from efficient lawyers from the Mariachi<\/a> group who act in the defense of popular communicators in Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n

According to information collected by our reporters, activist and writer Anderson Dinho suffered threats after the big controversy. Last month, independent media group Mariachi\u2019s page<\/a> was also taken down, serving as an attack on the freedom of the press\u2013and once again igniting this furor was Facebook.<\/p>\n

The actions, or aim, of this group are considered to be “the voice for those at risk.” The persecution of independent media collectives intensified after a report by Mariachi<\/a> showed State Security Secretary Beltrame<\/a> in a t-shirt printed with \u201cPor um Rio Sem Barreiras\u201d (\u201cFor a Rio Without Barriers\u201d), but the actions of his team of men that day couldn\u2019t have been more juxtaposed to Beltrame\u2019s motto. That day we witnessed an unprecedented scandal when police acted as if out of the film Minority Report<\/em>, blocking any black or less wealthy person<\/a>\u00a0from getting to the beaches in the\u00a0South Zone<\/a> under the directive that they “would” carry out mass robberies.<\/p>\n

Now, we launch a new era in our popular media. We are no longer bound by social media that censors the actions or words of the vulnerable. Midiacoletiva.org<\/a> has opened possibilities for us to directly and publicly communicate with frankness and security, without being censored.<\/p>\n

Below is [a translated version of] the\u00a0piece by Anderson Dinho:<\/p>\n

You know I rarely speak of Public Safety because I have no clout for it but,
\nWHY DID RODRIGO PIMENTEL<\/a> ASK TODAY IN GLOBO NEWS \u201cWHERE ARE THE NGOs TO CRY OUT FOR THE POLICE OFFICER WHO WAS BURNT ALIVE<\/a>?\u201d
\n?
\nIt\u2019s not the role of any Rio NGO, Rodrigo, to protest for the police, EVEN THOUGH they understand the fair play of this. Ok. What you meant to say was:
\n\u201cWHERE IS THE CONCERN FOR THESE GUYS HEY?\u201d
\nThe concern is stuffed up their rears, my son.
\nThey don\u2019t care, Rodrigo. There’s no\u00a0concern with\u00a0THIS police force<\/a>.
\nAnd when I say THIS FORCE, I don\u2019t refer to a UPP or a battalion, it\u2019s the INSTITUTION that for years has lived, drained by internal and external corrupt agents.
\nIt\u2019s bigger than just one arm.
\nIt\u2019s a culture. It\u2019s a construct. A project of power.
\nThey didn’t care when two policemen dragged Cl\u00e1udia<\/a>, dead but bound by trousers, into a car? They didn’t care when a BOPE<\/a> agent called 10-year-old Eduardo<\/a> a bum on his own doorstep and shot him. They didn’t care when the three officers killed a guy and forged a crime scene<\/a>, placing a gun in his dead hand.
\nThey don\u2019t care.
\nThey exploded the quota for sensitivity so there’s none left available when they\u00a0come asking for a reaction.
\nNGOs are the response of civil society<\/a>, in many cases organized TO PROTECT PEOPLE FROM THE POLICE.
\nThis slack police force, badass cops, dirty cops, who do spot checks with their rifles in your face just to get R$10. This police force having BBQs in jails. This militia<\/a> police. This police force who get their cut every Friday. Who organize at the Legislative Assembly. Who organize with the courts.
\nHuh? Speak up.
\nThe voiceover actor of that nerdy trilogy will die<\/a> and there\u2019ll be guys burnt, yep. And if you complain, more will die.
\nIt is not the fault of a\u00a0society “defender of criminals.”
\nAnd there won\u2019t be any NGO crying. I, Dinho, I cry over the deaths of those I love. No resident ever signed any government document submitting to understanding the risk in the profession of being a resident. You did.
\nResidents die from stray bullets during operations where the criminals are NEVER found.
\nPolice know the risk. They’re in this with awareness.
\nYou really think I don\u2019t have friends and relatives in this?
\nYou really think they think about this here?
\nWith guns pointed out, you all think you’re Superman.
\nWhether you\u2019re a woman, whether you\u2019re a man.
\nThey become ironchested.
\nAnother time, one of you was staring at my wife from inside the car, bitching and degrading her.
\nWith me there, alongside.
\nTell me.
\nFor whom do you cry
\nIt\u2019s fairplay that you want?
\nIn Rio, you want fairplay?
\nYour pastor harms you and\u00a0you beg for the help of your holy father? What schizophrenia is this, man?
\nNGOs were created to cry over other deaths. EVEN THE HOMELESS. But not yours.
\nYou have to go to the governor. Where are you, Luiz Fernando Pez\u00e3o<\/a>? Where are you, Beltrame<\/a>? Was it not you that put these guys in the street? Is it not you that train them and pay their low\u00a0salary they earned to die, burned? Is it not you that are so lost and call the DEA to resolve the mess?
\nRio\u2019s Public Security is so broken. Has been for decades<\/a>.
\nDecades.
\nYou have to stop seeking society\u2019s reaction, because if they could, society would never see a Police like this again. You<\/em> are the bad guys.
\nGo cry in the PMERJ (Rio Military Police).
\nBlackmail the commander. Go to the Lieutenant-Colonel. Go to the chief. Bribe them. Go on strike. Take your family, wife, son,\u00a0take everyone, let them threaten you with exoneration, FEEL DEEP IN YOUR SKINS HOW IT FEELS TO BE THREATENED BY THE MILITARY POLICE, because it is with them that you need to resolve this, not with society.
\nInvade the Guanabara Palace and blackmail Governor Pez\u00e3o<\/a>. Invade Central and bribe Beltrame.
\nDamn!
\nI didn’t want the guy to die.
\nBut I cry for the deaths of people from here, get organized, damn it, so no one else will die.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
