The racially charged killing of teenager João Pedro Matos Pinto has drawn comparisons to that of George Floyd
“He had dreams. He wanted to be a top lawyer,” said Neilton da Costa Pinto, the father of the Brazilian teenager, whose shooting during a botched police raid has drawn comparisons to the killing of George Floyd, 9,000km north in Minneapolis.
João Pedro Matos Pinto was young, gifted and black, and he died last month with an assault rifle shot to his back.
