Title: Dissonant Security
Description: ""I looked [former] President Dilma [Rousseff] in the eyes and told her she is the hope of more than 60,000 'Mothers of May' produced by my country. [But] she should stop celebrating the end of the dictatorship, because we live in a false democracy, a democracy that kills tens, scores, hundreds." Debora Maria da Silva - the mother of a young Black man killed by São Paulo's police in May 2006 and founder of Mães de Maio (Mothers of May), an organization of similarly afflicted mothers - routinely denounces what she calls the "democracy of massacres" (democracia das chacinas) meticulously executed by Brazil's Military Police forces"--
