From what I understand it’s not officially sanctioned but the local governments often turn a blind eye to the killing of the homeless. Police brutality is still a present problem in urban areas of Brazil and continues to be a topic discussed in the news there. For an interesting documentary on the subject I would suggest watching Bus 174, the story of a young man who survived on of these raids and then took a bus hostage in retaliation.
