“Neither bandit nor hero. A policeman is a worker”: The anti-fascist police movement and the police in politics
antifascism, politics
Studies and research dedicated to the participation of police and military personnel, especially in Brazilian public and political life, are many and diverse. Diverse in terms of perspectives, sources, methods and forms since their initial appearance in the late 18th1 and early 19th centuries. Such quantity and diversity would obviously also raise divergences, mainly regarding the participation of these agents in the course of political and social life. However, this diversity is somewhat limited in two respects: the political character in which these agents are situated, mainly focused on the conservative perspective, and in relation to the institutions to which the Brazilian Armed Forces (FAB) generally belong.
