“It was a war, and the state came out on top. And that’s the question I leave for the governor--Is he governing the city of Rio de Janeiro only to deliver bodies? Only to take lives? Is that what his government is all about? Did he run for office for that? To deliver death? Wasn’t it to change the state? Wasn’t it to change the lives of these people? Wasn’t it to try to do things differently?”
