The person depicted in this part of the video
has the logo of SMDS on his chest. Googling
“SMDS Rio de Janeiro”, a Twitter account of
the organization can be found. A translation of
the bio of this account states that this
organization fights poverty and social
exclusion in Rio de Janeiro through projects
and actions. Multiple people wearing this logo
are seen in the video and they all seem to be
communicating with the protestors.
Conclusion: The video depicts a civilian protest in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with the municipal
guard of the Rio de Janeiro responding to the protest with a response team. The municipal
guards are mainly using riot shields and rubber batons. Their response, shown in the video,
includes the forceful removal of certain civilians participating in the protest. Additionally,
an organization fighting poverty and social exclusion in Rio de Janeiro, called SMDS, is also
present amongst the civilians.
2.3 Step 3: Location of Events
This image depicts a woman taking part in the
protest holding a Brazilian flag. This could be a
key indicator and worth remembering.
However, one should not jump to the
conclusion that this event is taking place in
Brazil simply by the flag being in the video.
This could, for example, be a Brazilian
community protesting in London. The people
in the video are speaking Portuguese; this is an
additional identifier but for the same reason
should not lead you to make the assumption
this event is occurring in Brazil.
This is the first structure contained in the video
which could be vital in geolocation. This
appears to be a town hall, shopping mall or
something similar. It is also worth mentioning
that the palm trees in front of the structure
could also contribute to identifying the location
of events. Additionally, the title of the video is
Prefeitura, meaning City Hall in Portuguese.
