This article is part of RioOnWatch\u2019s\u00a0#VoicesFromSocialMedia<\/a>\u00a0seri<\/em>es, which compiles perspectives posted on social media by favela residents and activists about eve<\/em>nts and societal themes that arise.<\/em><\/p>\n

In broad daylight, broadcasted by media channels, Rio de Janeiro\u2019s Civil Police kills 24 people in Jacarezinho<\/a>, the capital’s blackest favela<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/h4>\n

It’s May 6, 2021 in Rio de Janeiro. Teams from the Civil Police\u2019s Special Resources Coordination (CORE<\/a>) start a police operation in the Jacarezinho favela<\/a>, in the North Zone<\/a>. It was nine in the morning when the Jacarezinho Audiovisual Lab (LabJaca<\/a>), informed<\/a>: \u201cToday Jacarezinho woke up under gunfire, like we hadn\u2019t in a long time. Three people have been shot until now, a civil policeman and two workers who were on the metro.\u201d LabJaca requests: \u201cResidents, stay tuned! Our safety comes first!\u201d Through social media, residents of the community reported: \u201cWe are stuck inside our homes, unable to breathe with the pepper bombs, with no way of getting out,\u201d while an armored helicopter\u2014known as the “flying caveir\u00e3o<\/em>,” an air version of the civil police’s armored trucks\u2014flies over a sea of brick homes. It was the onset of the Exceptis Operation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the Civil Police<\/a>, the Exceptis Operation took place due to investigations that pointed to children and teenagers in the region being recruited by the drug traffic to join the faction that dominates the territory.<\/p>\n
