Brazil is actually an interesting example, considering that the police inside thee favelas has been accused of extrajudicial killings and killing with impunity and form militias to extort locals(even their logo looks like a gang insignia) [1,2,3].
This actually highlights the different experiences between middle class white (or Brazilian) and a black person (or someone living in the favelas).
