    (39 Images of occupying Favelas in Rio de Janeiro that don't appear on TV) Here are some great pics of the police occupying the favelas or communities as most Cariocas (People from Rio) would preferred to call them out of respect. This is what they call 'pacification' where drug trafficking is eliminated and police enforcement is ever present.

  • As part of a program to quell the violence, 37 armed police bases have been established in favelas since 2008 in the run-up to the soccer World Cup this summer and the 2016 Summer Olympics. Some favelas have also been cleared to make way for works related to the events.
