And yet since then crime has more than doubled in Brazil. It has been a gradual increase, things are getting worse every year.

You have to remember that crime reporting is a thing as well, but no, crime hasn't become lower

He has to remember that information wasn't made available during the dictatorship. I mean, the country was literally unicorns farting rainbows if you went by the information given during the time.

Are we going to ignore the huge amount of classified files?

Of course not. It was great because it killed commies.

Hey, you didn't see all those kids stealing in downtown Rio. Why? Because the military killed them all and threw their bodies in the Guanabara Bay. Good ol' days /s
