Dramatic video shows a Brazilian biker being held up at gunpoint before an undercover cop shoots his attacker down so he can't escape.

Check out the video at the link. It's just over a minute long. Incredible stuff. One for the good guys and will give you a warm fuzzy on this Monday morning.

If someone can post a direct link to the video that would be cool too.

Don't think I'm going to Brazil any time soon.

But proves we need more guns on the street to prevent crime.

I can't help but notice that lane markings, speed limits and read lights doesn't seem to mean much in Brazil.
Even so, one less robber is good.

They are holding the World Cup in Brazil next summer. All those rich tourists. The robbers must be going through pre-season to prepare for the influx. I’m sure this criminal will tighten up his game once he gets out of the hospital/jail.

According to the video posting on Liveleak, the thief later died of his wounds. I wonder if they ever found his accomplice.

My father-in-law was a colonel in the Military Police and one brother-in-law was a sergeant. They don’t fool around and while there is corruption, it is much less rampant than in the municipal forces.

I very much want to move to my wife’s hometown but with strict gun control, I would be an un-armed American and that would be a magnet for trouble.

..most likely, his face was very clear in the vid, the cops down there know exactly who he is...

They must have Obamacare in Brazil, you can bleed out from a couple of crappy shots by the cop.

I hope it didn’t dent anything or bend the handlebars too bad.

Civs require special permits in Brasil and they are rare. My last trip there, I asked a niece about an old boy friend I had met years before. She told me he was shot and killed during a robbery. What shocked me was the matter-of-fact way she told me. She then added that she too had a gun placed to her head on two occasions during robberies of the motor cycle shop where she worked. How people come to accept this is beyond me.
