On the eve of Black Awareness Day (11/20), a video of a black man beaten and killed at Carrefour, in Porto Alegre, circulated on social networks, generating much revolt and protests. In the images, João Alberto Silveira Freitas, 40, is beaten and killed by two men, a security guard at the store and the other temporary military police officer - an employee hired by the Military Brigade for a fixed period of time, for administrative activities. The investigation treats crime as a qualified homicide. In the images there is also a woman, supposedly an employee of the chain, filming the whole scene. The Military Police of Rio Grande do Sul reported that the spacing began after a disagreement between the victim and an employee of the supermarket, which is in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, in the Passo d'Areia neighborhood, in the city's North Zone. Witnesses told the corporation that he would have made "aggressive gestures" while passing by the cashier. After security was triggered, the man was then led out of the store, while his wife continued shopping. On the way, the victim would have punched the security guard, being later beaten to death by the security guard and a military policeman, who was not at the service of the corporation. After being beaten, Samu was called, but the doctors were unable to revive João Alberto. The suspects were arrested in the act. Carrefour regretted the case, saying it had initiated a rigorous internal investigation, calling the act a criminal and breaking the contract with the security company. Full supermarket note: "Carrefour informs that it will adopt the appropriate measures to hold those involved in this criminal act responsible. It will also break the contract with the company that is responsible for the security guards who committed the aggression. the store will be closed to the victim. We will contact Mr. João Alberto's family to provide the necessary support. "Carrefour deeply regrets the case. Upon learning of this inexplicable episode, we initiated a rigorous internal investigation and immediately took the appropriate steps to ensure that those responsible were legally punished. For us, no type of violence and intolerance is permissible, and we accept situations like these to happen. We are deeply dismayed by everything that happened and will follow the developments of the case, offering all support to the local authorities ". Video: Playback / Social Media Show more
