Ending the military police doesn't mean to end the police. It means replacing them with civil forces, trained to deal with the civilian population rather than being trained in a military fashion.

Also... Globo are known to be biased towards Lula? This is a joke, right? Their very owners invited Flávio Surubinha for a "casual" lunch on the day of his interview. Lula didn't get the same treatment.

> It means replacing them with civil forces

In other words, ending the military police. Replacing something with something else implies the destruction of the original.

They already ended it in practice. Nobody sane wants to sign up to be a military police officer in 2026. Anyone who does will end up getting sued by the very state they're supposed to be protecting before they're even out of the police academy, and it will screw up their future concurso options. São Paulo police forces had to expand their recruitment efforts to the whole country in order to find people dumb enough to sign up for it. The future is bleak.

> trained to deal with the civilian population rather than being trained in a military fashion

... The civilian drug trafficker population? The ones that walk around the favelas with pistols and assault rifles? The ones that drop grenades on police and rival gangs with drones?

Starting to wonder if you even live here.

> This is a joke, right?

No.

Must not have been a good lunch then. Their journalists were literally sitting among Lula's people during the debate. They repeatedly tried to help him out with his time management instead of just shutting up and allowing him to screw it up. Their post-debate "fact checking" was also quite generous towards the old man.
