These kinds of things seem to happen often in Brazil, like the wild west out there.

There was a good documentary on young Brazilian cops trying out for the elite part of their force, a cross between SWAT and commando, they were only 22-25yr's old and they had already lost a number of kids that had gone through the academy with them.They had been mainly killed off duty, as the cartels had death squads out hunting the young cops to discourage others joining they were even targeting their families if they were involved in high profile arrests that's why they all wear masks and were all under orders to be always armed.

The other longer video shows the red car with witness driver nearly running her over and she bent over to pick up the suspects gun. Was it a witness or the suspects getaway car as it sped off?

It was nice of the driver to back up so that the policewoman had a clear view of the perp.

Somebody messed up the video, cut off parts of it that are very worthwhile. Best to seek out another copy of the video and post it.

If this happened here the woman would probably be facing charges.

I understand it is illegal to own a gun in Brazil, thus only the criminals have guns and you are right about the criminals hunting down the police.

Anyone notice the perp had 13 on his back (beginning of the clip)? Was he MS-13?

... did you see the mother & child that walked quickly through the frame from left to right ... they seemed alerted that the perp was no good ...

perp’s fatal error was switching targets towards the crowd ... good chance he’d gotten away with it before though with all I’ve heard about street crime in Brazil.
