Rio police targeting slum where gang based<\/a><\/p>\n

Elite police units in borrowed navy tanks rumbled through a heavily fortified slum Thursday in an effort to apprehend drug gang leaders they blame for five days of widespread violence even as scores of armed youth fled the shantytown for a neighboring area.<\/p>\n

Authorities say the gangs have erected roadblocks on major highways to rob motorists en masse, torched more than 40 cars and buses, and shot up police outposts, all to protest against a security program that has been pushing them from slums where they’ve held sway for decades.<\/p>\n

The officers arrived under the cover of police helicopters and amid the constant rattle of high-caliber gunfire despite the gang members’ efforts to block access with burning vehicles.<\/p>\n

But scores of gangsters were seen fleeing down jungle-covered hills, across an area known as “the green hell,” to a neighboring gang stronghold, the Alemao slum.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is this impossible in the USA? Could things get this bad in our border cities and other border areas?<\/p>\n

Well…. yes. If we let it happen. <\/p>\n

We already have places where the federal government has placed signs warning civilians not to enter, areas along the US\/Mexico border, in US territory.<\/p>\n
