I knew violence in Brazil was bad, but not quite THIS bad..

Right in front of where I work, and I mean literally, it's 20M away, on the other side of the street, there was a massive shoutout last year, guys had heavy machine guns and explosives, it was an one hour long non stop one sided shooting against our helpless police.
I've never seem anything like that, crime is pretty damn common here, all kinds of robbery, yeah, they tried to enter my house several times as well, one time I was right next to the door (a glass door, but filled with iron bars), using the nootbook on the table next to it, and the guy tried to enter from that door, saw me there, and gladly didn't have a gun and ran away, but this kind of massive shootouts was a first to me, though it happens on Rio all the damn time.

I'm not an expert on this topic, but I honestly think corruption has destroyed so much of Brazil. It's on a level I never expected.

 

In the middle east, I lived in a very poor region of Palestine. I never saw any huge issues (besides the rare fight or two) and most people lived with each other quite fine. Even without the best economic conditions, people were at least partially happy.

 

What exactly has the government done to establish such high levels of corruption? Every place has crime, but hearing these stories really leaves me speechless. I really hope it doesn't get much worse from here
