Brazil security failings on January 8 draw growing scrutiny | CNN

Security forces have come under scrutiny not only for failing to stop protesters from advancing on Brazil's government buildings but, in some cases, for failing to react

A police sniper peeked out of a helicopter as it performed a low flyby just a few meters above the Ministries Promenade in Brasilia. He was one of hundreds of officers deployed to secure the enormous grass patch – which sits in front of the Brazilian Senate and Congress and is surrounded by most of the country’s ministries – where protestors were expected to gather last week.

On Tuesday, dozens of military personnel were also dismissed from their positions at the Alvorada Palace, the official residency of the Brazilian President. No reason has been given publicly for their firing, but both Lula and first lady Rosangela da Silva have been publicly critical of the military police’s conduct during the insurrection, accusing some of those tasked with guarding not just the Palace but the other attacked buildings of colluding with rioters.
