who is committed to protecting Sao Paulo&#8217;s downtrodden, the regression to blood-bath streets is unbearable.<\/p>\n<p>She said: &#8222;This is my state. I was finally seeing Sao Paulo deal with its lethal police force. To see all that work thrown into the garbage by the new governor is really desperate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And she doesn&#8217;t believe that the words of leaders promising to change are genuine &#8211; but rather driven by a need to protect their public image.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"article__quote\">\n<div class=\"article__quote-copy\">\n<p>So far we have got just empty words and empty promises &#8211; because nothing changed.<\/p>\n<p><cite class=\"article__quote-credit t-p-color\"><span class=\"quote-credit\">Camila Asano, Connectas<\/span><\/cite><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On the arrest of the cop who threw Marcelo off the bridge, Camila said: &#8222;This case was very visible, and the governor and the secretary said: &#8216;There&#8217;s going to be an example of punishment and holding this officer accountable.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8222;But we&#8217;re not talking about only the officer who did the throwing. That kind of action would have come down as an order. If you really want to solve this case, you have to go up the whole chain of command.<\/p>\n<p>&#8222;There are so many other cases that don&#8217;t get visibility,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>She also said that the killing is not random: &#8222;We are operating here in Brazil in a very racist context. For every three people that are killed, two of them are black.<\/p>\n<p>&#8222;The people dying are black people in poor areas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Sao Paulo is important because the attitude there has the potential to spread nationwide, she said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"article__media\">\n<div class=\"article__media-img-container\" data-index=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Police detaining a

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Between January and September 2024, police killed 496 people in S\u00e3o Paulo, according to data from the State Department of Public Security (SSP).<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s 75 per cent up on the same period the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>Some 130 of those victims died in the state&#8217;s capital, Sao Paulo city, and 109 in the Baixada Santista coastal area &#8211; staggeringly high for a population of just 1.7million.<\/p>\n<p>For comparison, just one person was killed by police in London during that time.<\/p>\n<p>The run of eye-catching violence late last year grabbed the world&#8217;s attention &#8211; but did not appear out of the blue.<\/p>\n<p>It came in the wake of two of Sao Paulo&#8217;s most lethal ever police operations &#8211; dubbed Escudo (Shield) and Ver\u00e3o (Summer) &#8211; that killed 28 and 56 civilians respectively between July 2023 and March 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Both of these were as &#8222;revenge&#8221; for ROTA cops being killed.<\/p>\n<p>And there is no mystery surrounding why more people are dying.<\/p>\n<p>Camila said: &#8222;Not only did de Frietas say in public that body cams were useless, but there was a 37% reduction in investment in them in 2023.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These &#8222;useless&#8221; cameras &#8211; alongside other measures &#8211; had overseen a 63 per cent reduction in police

above cases were reported across the globe, and piled serious pressure on de Frietas to promise change.<\/p>\n<p>Camila said: &#8222;After the cases of the medical student, the bridge and the little boy &#8211; he had to give a response to Sao Paulo&#8217;s society.<\/p>\n<p>&#8222;It was really damaging his image, so he was forced to recognise some mistakes, but so far we have got just empty words and empty promises &#8211; because nothing changed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One step Camila and others want to see is the scrapping of a dud police regulator de Freitas set up.<\/p>\n<p>The original regulator was doing too good a job of holding police abuses to account, so &#8222;de Frietas decided to set up another one&#8221;, Camila said.<\/p>\n<p>She continued: &#8222;He created a parallel ombudsman for the police, linked directly to Derrite, without any kind of independence. This reassures police they will not be held accountable over abuses and illegal killings.<\/p>\n<p>&#8222;But even after all the pressure, even after he recognised there were mistakes, he hasn&#8217;t revoked that yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Camila also says that, if de Freitas was serious about changing Sao Paulo&#8217;s path, he would sack trigger-happy Derrite and commit to properly enforcing body cams.<\/p>\n<p>But instead, de Frietas is reaffirmed his support for the brutal secretary, and is replacing all the body cams with new ones that do not run all the time.<\/p>\n<figure

mandatory police body cams to the Supreme Court in December and won, meaning cops must wear one.<\/p>\n<p>In December, over 80 NGOs signed a letter to the Organization of American States to sound the alarm about the growing brutality under de Freitas.<\/p>\n<p>The church joined the chorus &#8211; and warned that police were adopting a motto that has lurked within Brazilian politics for years: \u201cThe only good bandit is a dead bandit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Father Julio Lancellotti said: \u201cThere\u2019s an institutionalised kind of violence against the poor, against those who don\u2019t have any protection.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added that the attacks \u201ccome precisely from those who should defend the people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt looks like that form of managing violence is planned, justified and deliberately implanted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Franciscan Father David Santos, an activist in Sao Paulo, told Catholic news site Crux: \u201cDerrite and Tarcisio have been winning elections with the support of uninformed people.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe inhumane solution is to kill the Blacks and the poor, who disturb the rich.
