Brazilian Military and Police Raid on Rio Slum

Normally, police and military raids to control drug gangs wouldn't be of much interest. However, this raid (involving 3,000 troops and police) on the Rocinha slum seems a little different. Note the tactics--snipers on roofs, helicopters, pre-raid intelligence gathering, and overwhelming military force.
