How can those numbers be 'out of place'? Just last month the state of São Paulo started to remove assassinations by the police from the official murder stats [1] to make it look like things are getting better.

Also:

"Between January and November in 2014, 816 people were murdered by military police officers in the state of São Paulo." - and it did not reduce crime [2]

Do you realize we got a civil war in Brazil, where 60k people die every year?
It's the media like CNN that make my blood boil. I am not sure why Trump is in every other story on the international channel. Actual reporting does not sell.
