Police officers in Espírito Santo, Brazil have been on strike for five days, prompting a crime wave that has taken the lives of over 80 people. Over 1,000 soldiers have been mobilized, but officials have requested 800 more. The police offers walked out last week over a dispute over wages. Espírito Santo has been plagued with assaults and looting during Brazil's worst recession in history.
