Shock Battalion back to use tear gas against students

   The Shock Battalion of Military Police threw tear gas against students who performed the protest against the 6.5% increase in bus fares in the Metropolitan Region of Recife, on the morning of Monday (23).
   They were at the intersection of Avenida Conde da Boa Vista with Aurora Street, in downtown Recife, interrupting the flow of vehicles. Because of the bombs, the protesters arrived to disperse, releasing the traffic on site. But returned soon after to focus on the intersection of Count of Boa Vista Street to the Hospice.

 

There were also police officers ostensibly for Round Support Motorcycles (Rocam). Some students had their arms raised and kneeling with hands on head, appearing to be rendered.
