Talk about an interesting juxtaposition. This photo, taken by Brazilian photographer Tatiana Cardeal, is part of a brilliant set which chronicles a youth outreach program called Afroreggae.

The slums or favelas of Rio de Janeiro are some of the most dangerous, crime-ridden neighborhoods in the world. This particular Afroreggae event was an attempt to bridge policemen and the favela people. I think the picture says it all.
