In Holland civilians would patrol on the street if something happened like this and there was no police. But that is too risky in Brazil.

But in the end, what are we talking about? I saw bigger demonstrations in Holland. And in the USA something happened after Rodney King and people also start robing after Hurricane Katrina.
