Brazil Gunmen Kill Police Abuse Witness
Gunmen shot and killed a man who spoke to a U.N. investigator about police death squads, an attack that came a day Brazil's president pledged to protect witnesses who come forward to testify about human rights abuses.
The killing of Gerson de Jesus Bispo on Thursday shocked human rights officials who have struggled to control rogue police accused of torture and summary executions in Latin America's largest country.

Bispo was the second person killed after speaking to Asma Jahangir, the United Nations official investigating extrajudicial and summary executions.

Take a good look at the social conditions in Brazil to see what America will become if the conservatives stay in power.
