Dystopia by Bryan Hammond

Rather menacing but rather good!!

Thank you David. Yes, not your local bobby at all.

... only in Brazil eh? !

I like your drawing, your description is right on the button too.

I hope it stays only in Brazil Heather.

Thank you Lewis.

Very unusual, quite scary but based on fact and drawn so well.

Mmmm he doesn't look like my cup of tea. But nothing surprises me anymore I guess. Great illustration.

Thank you Chris. I just couldn't believe that this is how some police in Brazil walk around in public.

Thank you Spencer, I think it must be very frightening for the public to see this on their streets.

Interesting image Bryan, I wonder if it’s meant to provide the police with some sort of anonymity like in the show Watchmen, so they don’t suffer retribution from the criminals. Alternatively it might just be terror tactics.

Thank you Andrew. Having looked into it a bit further, I think it is a bit of both. Protection for the officer and to intimidate the criminals. There is such violence on both sides away from the tourist areas it's almost a civil war seemingly.
