A protester runs with a make-shift shield, right, as others throw rocks at police who are firing tear gas at them a few miles from the soccer stadium where Spain and Italy will play in a Confederations Cup semifinal soccer game in Fortaleza, Brazil, Thursday, June 27, 2013. It's the latest in a series of massive, nationwide protests that have hit Brazil since June 17. Demonstrators are angered about corruption and poor public services despite a heavy tax burden. Protests are also denouncing the billions of dollars spent to host the World Cup and the 2016 Olympics in Rio - money they say should be going toward better hospitals, schools, transportation projects and schools.
