Security Forces Involved In Brazil Riots, Pres. Says

BRAZIL – Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva says security force members were complicit in letting an anti-government mob ransack the seat of power in Brasilia.

Thousands of demonstrators calling for a military coup to oust Lula and restore Bolsonaro to power, stormed the supreme court, congress and the presidential palace on Sunday, leaving a trail of smashed windows, furniture, computers and artwork.

The police force responsible for public security in Brazil’s capital did not stop the mob advancing on the building, and some were seen in social media images taking selfies and chatting with demonstrators.
