This article is WRONG, BOPE is not only in RJ. There is BOPE in Brasília also, and in São José and in many other cities. Please, mark this article for a complete revision.

THE ABOVE STATEMENT IS RIGHT. I it is right that the first BOPE was created in Rio de Janeiro, but the Distrito Federal (Brasília) also has one, as well as other states. This needs to be updated --Pinnecco (talk) 12:07, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

THE BOPE, the famous battalion, is the BOPE-PMRJ (PMRJ being 'rio de janeiro military police). there may be other BOPEs. --189.12.151.216 02:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV

This article is full of poor grammar, hyperbole and NPOV. Please correct these issues before seeding links to the page on other tactical force pages. MKV 04:18, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

--- There are no hyperboles in the article... But you should help with the grammar. --Levy 14:15, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

There are three very obvious examples of hyperbole: "BOPE is considered the best tactical police team in the world when the matter is urban warfare" (uncited), "The international interest for BOPE is the recognition of BOPE as the best troop of urban combat in the world. That is what demonstrates a documentary named “Wardogs”, produced by a foreign TV station." (Youtube is hardly a valid reference), and "In 2005 a United States National Guard member, Bain Serna, spent 5 weeks with BOPE team in Rio de Janeiro and revealed in an interview to a Texan newspaper he considered it the best urban combat unit in the world. "Our troops in Iraq should learn with Bope" (uncited). Not very impressive. Nick Cooper 13:06, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I tried to remedy some of these issues by editing for NPOV, removing unsourced comments and removing some redundant statemtns.--Dali-Llama 02:27, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup looks good. MKV 02:13, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Movie

There should be references to the movie "Tropa de Elite: BOPE" since this movie is about an event with BOPE in Rio de Janeiro. IMDb --Skippern 21:00, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

There is a reference to the movie, but the reference begins by discussing the book on which the movie was based. It's a question of precedence.--Dali-Llama 19:02, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BOPELOGO.gif

Image:BOPELOGO.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
