BRASILIA, Brazil — A Black man who died while being beaten by supermarket security guards was buried on Saturday following protests that echoed those of the racial justice movement in the United States.João Alberto Silveira Freitas, a father of four, was buried wearing a white T-shirt in a coffin draped with the flag of his favorite soccer team in the city of Porto Alegre.
The outrage was fed by a widely circulated video showing one guard restraining Freitas as another hit him repeatedly in the face.him. Another clip later showed a guard kneeling atop Freitas’ back in the parking lot of the store in Porto Alegre. The France-based CEO of the Carrefour supermarket group, Alexandre Bompard, sent tweets Friday calling the video images “unbearable” and vowing to go beyond the"insufficient” steps already taken by the company's Brazil branch.Carrefour earlier said it would end its contract with the security company and fire the store manager who was on duty.
His son Eduardo, however, sent a social media post accusing Brazilian leftists of using Freitas as “their George Floyd,” a reference to the man whose death at the hands of police set off protests this year across the United States.
And I we had a monopoly on this........
Keep spreading hate. That's what the Media/Press does best. YOU people are responsible for hate crimes and murders. I wouldn't want to be you when you face your Maker. HOW proud you must be. I hope none of you hate spreaders have children.
What about this?
Dehumanizing 'the market place' no cashiers just guards at every transactional moment - margins of violence - profit driven -
MY EXISTENCE HAS BEEN HIDDEN FROM THE WORLD I AM MARGINALIZED FOR MY DISABILITY ASSAULT AND PERMANENT DISFIGUREMENT AND A 15 YEAR RECOVERY since 2006 NOT PROSECUTED COVERED UP I WAS A CHILD It's FAILURE to PROTECT AND CRUELTY TO CHILDREN It's CONSPIRACY

Bolsonaro, the Brazilian Trump. Proudly.
Black lives matter EVERYWHERE
Murdered.
No racist incident, the guy attacked security team as showed on the records from security cameras. Was a crime but not because the victim was black. Please, be more presice and don’t do assumptions.
Sad God bless him
I’m sure the man was just minding his own business, right, just checking for some fresh fruit, right....maybe squeezing the Charmin, right?!
Homem morto no Carrefour era racista - E agora, esquerda? E vejam também a ficha dele e do pai que são espancandores de mulheres.
Yada yada yada
Era só um bandido que deveria estar preso.

Two mixed guys killed a mixed man, nothing to see here...
O cara é criminoso o cara ameaçou a funcionária do supermercado tem uma ficha criminal extensa ele agrediu um dos seguranças da loja nada justifica sua morte
Fake News, this crime had nothing to do with racism.
There are some information you missed: He spanked a woman in the supermarket, spanked the security, was accused for aggression by his ex-wife and used to call her a BLACK MONKEY.
fake news AP!!!
They are left-wing terrorists!! Like BLM!!
Brazilian left wouldn’t exist without American left. Everything they do is copy paste US politics, it’s quite funny and pathetic actually.
This was NOT a hate crime. Stop spreading misleading information.
Just shut up!! It is like the crying wolf. When racism truly occurs no one will believe because AP amplified things. Leave us alone!!! This hurts us mixed children the most. Shut up and stop causing division among us. ENOUGH!
Bolsonaro, the Brazilian Trump. Proudly.
There is a PLA counterpart of the academic P4 lab in Wuhan. Both labs are in the same WIV building, but different floors. 石正丽may not created the C19 virus but she transferred the samples & knowhow to the PLA researchers. Now she is helping CCP to cover up the virus origin.
... and just like in america it is all BS!! The 'black man' initiated the violence against security and had a long long criminal record including years of domestic violence against his wife!!
Comply?
That’s why I didn’t vote for tRump. All of his degenerate followers would think that would be ok to do.
Trumps fault
F*cking Trump.
Send Chavin to Brazil. They’ll take care of him better there.
Did we need the picture?
Damn, really...now in Brazil...
Our issue why ? Oh yea the media. Don’t forget we are the group ready to protect
The system of white supremacy is a global system!
Would you visit racist Brazil now?
RIP
