For comparison, US police have killed 323 people so far in 2019[1], and the US is widely regarded as the shootiest, killiest first-world country. Illinois, which has twice the population of Rio and contains the notorious crime-ridden hellhole known as Chicago, has had 5 police shootings in 2019. Assuming a similar trend over the full course of a year (that number is for 3 months), that gives Rio a murder rate by the police of 27.5 per 100k; that is higher than the murder rate by criminals in Newark, NJ. In short, that is just an insane number of people being summarily executed on the street without charges or trial by the police.
