A police strike has unleashed violent crime in Brazil's third-largest city just two months before it is set to welcome hordes of soccer fans for the World Cup. At least 22 people were killed in and around the northeastern city of Salvador after state police went on strike early on Wednesday (April 16) to demand better pay and other benefits, the Bahia state government said on Thursday, prompting the federal government to dispatch troops to restore order.
