According to the Brazilian press, there will be 15.700 cops covering the Stones show.
It is more than the capacity of Centre Bell (15.000) or 1st Marina Arena (13.000) for a "civilian" audience.
I don't to spoil the pleasure of anyone, but don't you think the things are going upside down ?

given the propensity of crime I've reading about there, I'm not sure 15 thousand cops are enough!

Really,
1% of estimated total crowd doesn't sound too far out of the ordinary.
What do you think the attendance is truly going to be?

By the way: officials expect 2 million fans! Wow! I hope most of them can really enjoy the show.
Here's the report:
Brazil readies for big Rolling Stones show
By MICHAEL ASTOR
Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - The Rolling Stones promised a bigger bang, and they'll get one in Rio.
City officials said yesterday they expect nearly 2 million people to turn out for the Stones' "A Bigger Bang" free concert on Copacabana Beach Saturday.
Crowds are expected to fill fully half of the beach, with the Stones performing on a single stage. Eight video screens and 16 sound towers will allow fans far from the stage a glimpse of the sexagenarian rockers.
The show marks the Stones' third visit to Brazil, but the first for free in a country where few can afford tickets to see top international acts. Fans across Brazil were chartering vans and buses to get to Rio, and Mayor Cesar Maia said tourists from as far away as Chile were coming.

Now imagine the worst : the 15.000 cops and soldiers (Terra website reads : 'policiais militares') , lead by rogue officers, enjoys the event to maka a classic Latin-coup, and bloodly overrule Lula. While the city is completly nuts because of the Stones.
Don't say too fast I am nuts. I react as a journalist. This sort of thing happens.

The number of cops is proportional to the number of the crowd
No one here in Brazil wants to overrule the President by using the force. If the people is not happy with him, he simply won´t be re-elected in this year´s election. Besides, the President lives in the capital, Brasilia, which is a 1000 km far from Rio de Janeiro.

Petromilfont : we know where the federal capital lies. In this case, it is like comparing NYC to Washington.
