> they'd most likely arrive shooting, as they do when there are parties in slums.

Can you please link to the news articles about these slum parties that are broken up by officers who start shooting the moment they arrive? Seems like something that would definitely get reported on.

In all my time living in low-income housing, I never witnessed something like this. And I had plenty of sleepless nights when neighbors would throw ragers. Some got broken up (mostly when a fight would break out among attendees), and I'm sure some of the cops weren't pleasant. But I never witnessed cops jumping out of their cars with their guns blazing.

Although I'm one piece of anecdotal evidence, so I'd like to see the evidence you have of this event.

You can read about one such case, one that created enough social repercussion that the cops involved had legal trouble, here:

Most often nothing happens.


I see this link happened in Brazil. Definitely a horribly incident.

My comment, and my personal experiences, relate to America. At least here, I don't know of any events where police have opened fire on a pack of teenagers partying without reason. But they could exist, which was why I was asking for evidence.
