Want to see the (real) face of SWAT Brazil ? John and I went on a trip to Brazil very recently, and joined the team for a paintball battle and an excellent post-war dinner at Braz – arguably the best chain of pizzerias on the planet. This post is mostly pictures, putting a face on the Brazilian SWAT team. You may have seen the movie “Elite Squad”, or “Tropa de Elite” as it is known in Brazil. The contestants in the epic paint-ball battle in Morumbi were certainly inspired by the movie…
