A policeman used violence to restrain a 51-year-old black woman during a riot over commercial activity in a bar in the south of São Paulo during the Covid-19 pandemic.
A video recorded by residents, shown by Fantástico, from TV Globo, on Sunday (12), shows a sequence of PM actions during an occurrence on Saturday afternoon, May 30, in Parelheiros, because of a customer who parked the vehicle with high volume sound, while consuming on site.
