Rio Protests Erupt After Deadliest Police Raid Kills 121 in Favelas

Imagine police went into some neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro to catch bad guys.

But during this police action, a lot of people died, over 121 people, including some police officers.

This made the people who live in those neighborhoods very angry and sad.

They came out to the streets to protest, asking for fairness and an end to police violence.

Some officials say they were just doing their job and the people who died were criminals.

But others, like human rights groups, say the police used too much force, especially in poorer neighborhoods where many Black people live.

It's a very sad situation, and people want to know why so many people had to die.
