Are those guys BOPE (I can't tell)? If so, I would have expected them to have better weapons. It's one thing for rank-and-file city police to have to buy their own shit, but I've always understood that BOPE is very well-funded and well-equipped (by South American standards). If I recall, they were one of the first customers for the FN P90.
