"The edition [of the Brazilian TV journalism program] Profissão Repórter [profession reporter] this Tuesday, Aug. 15 tackled the issue of police lethality. Reporter Danielle Zampollo went to the community of Prainha, in Guarujá [in the state of São Paulo], to find out more about the deaths in Operation Escudo, which has left 16 dead, 12 in Guarujá and 4 in Santos. At the scene, a policeman pointed a rifle at the journalist during the reporting.
[...]
The journalist introduced herself: 'I'm a journalist, may I ask you what work you have come here to do today?' The policeman did not answer. The journalist took out her cell phone and started recording the policemen entering the community. Danielle said again, 'I'm showing your work, okay?' The policeman started pointing his rifle at her. The action lasted 17 seconds."
