![]() ![]() Like Cláudia Ferreira's death four years before, Marielle Franco's death was yet another disturbing reminder of the complex ways that Black women experience police violence in the Americas. I use the term to describe the lingering, deadly aftereffects of police terror on the bodies of the living in the aftermath of police killings. Following the work of Andreia Beatriz dos Santos, co-coordinator of the React or Die! Campaign Against the Genocide of Black People and co-founder of the Winnie Mandela School in Salvador, Bahia, I call this process sequelae, which draws from the medical definition of the term sequela, meaning “a condition that is the consequence of a previous disease,” as I have written in recent articles. Black women are also shot, tortured, and killed by the police in addition to facing sexual assault and terror due to both physical threats and the lingering, deadly effects of police terror. Police violence is a phenomenon that gravely affects Black men, but it also disproportionately targets Black women. Soon thereafter, it came out that the bullets that the killers used to kill Franco and Gomes were from a lot of ammunition that the Federal Police had purchased in Brasília in 2006, that an alleged death squad used to massacre 17 people in metropolitan São Paulo in 2015. The assassin(s) shot her four times in the head, killing her, and also shot her driver, killing him as well. Silva Ferreira was pronounced dead on arrival at the Carlos Chagas State Hospital.Īlmost four years to the day later, on the night of March 14, Rio de Janeiro councilwoman Marielle Franco was riding home with her driver, Anderson Pedro Gomes and her assistant, when an unidentified car pulled up beside her and shot repeatedly into her car. The police officers, who either didn't notice or didn't care, proceeded to drag her for approximately 250 meters until they reached a red light where they stuffed her limp body back inside the car. On the way to the hospital, she fell out of the trunk but stayed pinned to the car, held by a piece of her clothing. They refused to let any of her family members ride with her. The police waited until the battle was over and put the unconscious Silva Ferreira in the hatchback trunk of the police car to take her to the hospital. ![]() She was leaving her house to buy groceries at a local market in her neighborhood when she got caught in the crossfire of a gun battle between police and alleged drug dealers. ![]() It lured me in with its goofy concept and charm and made my stay with its exhilirating and varied gameplay.On March 16, 2014, military police shot and severely wounded 38-year-old Cláudia da Silva Ferreira in the suburban community of Madureira in Rio de Janeiro. This means that you'll be switching weapons on the fly like a during firefights like a maniac and it is that element of added quick thinking and strategy that prevents the gameplay from getting too stale in its 8 hours Cons: - There were 2 game breaking bugs that made me crash but that is really about it What can i say, this is easily one of the better games i've played this year. Every single enemy has a different way you need to go about taking them down with different methods from your weapons. One of the best things about the gameplay in my personal opinion is the enemy variety. It is old school doom mixed with Doom Eternal but more fabulous. ![]() Everything from the art style, to the enemies, the protagonist's clothes, the excellent writing, the weapon selection, everything is made to fit with the premise and concept and it works marvelously -The gameplay. And boy oh boy does this game ever commit to it. I am a firm believer in the fact that if you're gonna go with a silly goofy over the top concept, the only way for it to work is to commit fully and completely to it. So, what makes Fashion Police Squad work? On to the review then: Pros: -The humor. One of the most original games in the line up of Old School FPS homages that are popping up recently or Boomer Shooters as the kids call them these days.
