On June 13th ill-trained, brutal police turned a mostly peaceful march into a terrifying rout. Officers with their name tags removed fired stun grenades and rubber bullets at fleeing protesters and bystanders, and hunted stragglers through the streets. By June 17th the movement had spread to a dozen state capitals as well as the federal capital, Brasilia. An estimated 250,000 took to the streets across the country the following nights. Small protests have recently escalated into mass movements in other countries, including Britain, France, Sweden and Turkey. Those countries variously suffered from high youth unemployment, ethnic conflict, falling living standards, authoritarian government and worries about immigration. Brazil is a different story. Youth unemployment is at a record low. That has left commentators--and some marchers--struggling to explain why Brazil has taken to the streets.
