BOPE - The Rio Aftermath

This NPR report covers the aftermath of a massive and deadly police raid in a Rio de Janeiro favela, which resulted in over 130 deaths. Officials called it a success against the Red Command Drug and Extortion Gang and the people that live in the favelas were 87% in favour of the police.

Graças a Deus, 76 anos de idade! Até aqui nos ajudou o Senhor....(1 Samuel 7:12)

Obrigado pela vida, saúde, discernimento, sabedoria e pela minha esposa, amiga e companheira de todas as horas.

Thank God, 76 years old! The Lord has helped us so far....(1 Samuel 7:12)

Thank you for life, health, discernment and wisdom and for my wife, friend and companion at all times.

Who am I?

After completing my high school I took a 6-year painting course at the School of Fine Arts. Then I worked more than 30 years as an illustrator in advertising agencies. While working for them I focused on story-boards, layouts and art that went to print. During this time I used traditional art materials, pencils, brushes and air-brushes but at home I was already using computers such as a Commodore Amiga and custom built PCs to do my personal freelance work. When Thompson turned its traditional Studio into the Computer Arts Department in 1994 I was one of the people who joined the change from brushes to mouse. Today, at the age of 73, I am retired but I continue to work, learn and research. I went through all the stages. Photography, airbrush, computer and now I'm entering this new world of AI. I'm not afraid of the future nor do I want to be left behind...
