Sao Paulo authorities are trying out a full-on approach to end the infamous Crackland area.
Residents say police aggression has escalated since earlier this year under Gov. Tarcisio de Freitas and Mayor Ricardo Nunes .
They say officers more frequently are using batons, preventing them from carrying bags where drugs could be hidden.
Experts say the cleanup carried significant costs: police brutality, the spread of security risks.
Gov. De Freitas , a former minister under President Bolsonaro , is reportedly considering running against President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the 2026 presidential election.
His rivals claim he stands to gain political capital by ending Crackland , which could also make way for a 5-billion Brazilian reais ( $900 million ) project to relocate about 60 state government buildings to the area.
Catholic priest Júlio Lancelotti , who has worked with homeless people for most of his 76 years , said police brutality and scattering of drug users will not solve the problem.
