Police inspect the remains of one of their crime-fighting helicopters lying in a soccer field after it was shot down when trying to intervene in a battle between two opposing drug gangs, in a Rio de Janeiro slum October 17, 2009. Police sources confirmed at least two policemen dead and two injured in the crash, as the gangs began to attack and burn public buses to distract the police away from their battle.

Rio or Chicago?
Jack Bauer has downed multiple helicopters with his pistol. I thought that was unrealistic, but I guess not.
Good thing Rio got the Olympics; much safer than Chicago... < /s>
Nothing to see here. They’re just gearing up for the new Olympic game; Target Copter at 400 yards...
I suspect a military style police purge of Rio criminals prior to the Olympics.
in Chicago this would have been an Olympic event
A former friend of mine returned from Rio and called it the largest enclave of thieves and whores in the world.
More Chicago than Chicago.
Brazil is much more advanced that us. Their gangs can actually shoot down police helicopters./s
I've also read about a 'private walled community' of 30,000 that has its own 1,200 man security force and all no-resident visitors are searched coming and going to this community.
Hell Yeah,
So let’s put an Olympics in this third world cesspool. Instead of the first world cesspool known as Chicago.
I bet corruption is about the same in both toilets.
More backgound on the drug fueled wars

Near as I can find the A/C was a locally built Eurocopter EC 135 variant. EC135 = (about) Bell JetRanger.
Wow, when they say war on drugs down there they aren’t kidding.
