World Cup complications

In the city of Salvador, Brazil, where the World Cup is scheduled to be held, has recently been undergoing quite a bit of crime and looting. In response to a police strike occurring, the citizens of Salvador, Brazil have created a forty eight hour crime wave to show how they have been effected by the police strike. With this being the destination for the upcoming football extravaganza, it is being questioned if the World Cup is safe to be held in this area because of the intense crime. During this streak of crime, there were thirty nine deaths and widespread trashing and littering in places such as supermarkets, pharmacies and some electronic department stores. This is causing quite the argument as to having a safe World Cup or not. This massive dispute occurred on Tuesday April 15, 2014, and the police officials said they back on duty and had the dispute settled and ended by Thursday April 17^th. This is not a very shocking event in the eyes of nearby Brazilian citizens or police. “The strike is now over,”… “Well above normal, though not absurdly so.”  Only two years ago, one hundred and fifty seven people died in a similar wave of violence after the Bahia police went on a strike for twelve days.

Instances like this are important for people to be aware of because of the disability to predict situations and crime waves as such. This is an area that many people may be traveling to because of the events taking place such as the World Cup, and it is important to realize and be aware of the danger of an area you are traveling near or to. Around the world, large events take place in different places, and people take vacations across the globe. This is something to continue to be proactive in learning about before traveling or moving to new areas. No matter if there is a “World Cup” or the Olympics, or even just a vacation, it is good to be cautious of what could possibly occur in an area while being there.
