If you’ve seen Pixote (or read newspapers), you probably don’t hold Carioca policemen in high regard. But try Espirito Santo, a state in Brazil’s southeast, where military police “are developing interpersonal relationship skills, emotional balance and discipline in a Zen Buddhist monastery.” You can read more here. If you read Portuguese, you can see it in Globo. And if you don’t, you can still watch the video there.
