A federal agent fired shots at an unarmed Black man during a recent traffic stop while patrolling the nation’s capital for President Donald Trump’s law-enforcement surge. But a police report on the encounter doesn’t mention the shooting. The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the Oct. 17 shooting by a Homeland Security Investigations agent, who was with police officers and other federal agents when they stopped a car driven by Phillip M. Brown. Lawyers for Brown claim the police department tried to cover up the shooting by leaving it out of a police report and refusing to provide them with body camera videos.
About 2,500 Brazilian police and soldiers have launched a massive raid on a criminal gang in Rio de Janeiro and arrested 80 suspects while sparking shootouts that left at least 10 people dead. Authorities called it the biggest such raid in history and said it targeted drug trafficking ring Red Command in the low-income favelas of Complexo de Alemao and Penha. Police did not confirm any deaths, but local media reports said scores of people were believed killed. An Associated Press journalist saw at least 10 bodies arrive at the Getulio Vargas hospital in Penha, two of them police officers.
