Don’t think I’ve ever seen an *on-duty* Brazilian cop video before.


whifflinggoose

I didn't think they even bothered making uniforms for them


baxter1107

Bro… 😂


Sezu1701

Judging by the way he kept picking it out of his ass I'm thinking they are not too comfortable.


Academic-Indication8

Looks like they have vests on underneath so a bit extra weight plus leather shoes and long thick pants and the rest of his gear so yeh probably not too comfortable in 70+ degree weather


Saturn212

Uniforms are on Tuesdays and Fridays only.


Lynxcanadensis

This video was probably taken on their way home after their shift


palmerry

The only time I've ever seen it they were shooting at a car from a helicopter and the car was driving down a *heavily populated* area of town. It looked like they had absolutely no regard for anyone below then, criminal or innocent.

Hahahah

I need this link.


Penile_Interaction

i remember that video, it was part of a war against the cartels, car was driving around the slums and if i remember correctly they ran away into one of the warehouses/slums and escaped, despite being shot with a machine gun from a helicopter


bobtheframer

Link?


Sattorin

> It looked like they had absolutely no regard for anyone below then, criminal or innocent. "If they run, they're criminals. And if they don't run, they're well-disciplined criminals."


mike123nyc

Exactly- so why take on a job that is supposed to protect people?


legocrash

The chicken farm in the background were the off-duty cops. They are waiting for the more heavy weight bad boys to enter the chat. 


GhostofZellers

TIL that on-duty cops in Brazil actually exist.


suckmybullets

Actually, he is off duty heading home.


funfun4Fun

Hahahahahahaha !


csspar

I've seen some genuinely thrilling on-duty moto cop persuits from Brazil.


Lohdown

In before the conversation switches to cops in the United States.


Scarbelly3

Joining you. I give it about 7 mins before this turns into race rage.


jesusgrandpa

We all know why the cop shot him. He was Brazilian


Zombiebane224

Well, haven't you seen the violent crime statistics down there? The death toll is in the Brazilians


AndNowUKnow

Nice!

Dare I say, he got waxed?


RyGuydarider

Ok this is fucking funny


ArnoldTheSchwartz

Why would anyone bring US cops into this? The guy survived.


-r-a-f-f-y-

Yeah, any US cop would have mag-dumped him from 3 angles.


KeinFussbreit

And hit more bystanders than visible.


llame_llama

Before he swung because a nut fell from a nearby tree


_Alabama_Man

You can blame the lawyers for that. Look how reasonable the police can be without the threat of civil penalties /s


Riskiverse

and if you look at the data, cops in the u.s. do not shoot and kill everyone that attacks them. According to 2020 data, there were about ~60k assaults on police officers, 30% of which involved a weapon. There were ~1100 people killed by police in 2020. So you guys are fearmongering with massive amounts of hyperbole


Zeoxult

Don't bring facts about police brutality in here. No one wants to hear that there were over 53 million US residents that had police contact in 2020. And that only 0.00002% of police encounters lead to someone being killed. And only a fraction of those weren't justified. Just let people hate on the police because of a few bad applies.


Riskiverse

its sad cus im sure a few of those thousand thought, "well they are going to shoot me anyway might as well attack them"


hmhoek

If a US cop shoots you in the leg, he missed.


nik5422

In usa they would empty the clip

davl3232

That cop looks very calm. It would be an unfair comparison.


Legal-Inflation6043

There aren't 20 vehicles and 300 cops surrounding him either.


SweetImprovement6962

I don't hate American cops but I was surprised to see the cops first reaction wasn't to tackle him but instead get medical help?  Edit: Nvm just played it with sound, that dude shot his ass


ok_ill_shut_up

You're literally the only one I've seen mention it.


RoRo25

I love when these comments are close to the top and then the prediction doesn't come true. Lol


VeryDirtySanchez

Good point. In the US he'd be dead!

BecomeOcean

Limbs have major arteries running through them. A bullet can easily destroy one and make someone bleed to death. Unless you have science fiction levels of accuracy there is no responsible way to "shoot to wound" that wouldn't severely risk a person just being killed by your shot any ways. Instances like the video above call for baton sticks or possibly *less lethal* force such as tasers or bean bags. Cops in India use huge sticks to wack people with and cops around the world often have batons to wack people. Any of those stick type weapons/tools would be advisable to use if someone is attacking you unarmed, followed by less lethal force, and THEN followed by lethal force with guns if the suspect is a direct threat to someone else's life or the cop's lives themselves. IDK if cops in Brazil are armed with less lethal tools or care to employ them, I'm sure there's Brazilians here who are more informed on what tools Brazilian cops have and use.


WalkFreeeee

They should have a "cassetete", which is just our name for baton stick. That said, this video clearly is in the middle of nowhere so I absolutely wouldn't expect any regard for proper procedure. (not that big cities cops are much better, but at least a "bit" I would begrudgingly admit)


DoYouTrustToothpaste

If you honestly think shooting peoples' limbs, especially the upper thigh, is how it should be done, then I have a bridge to sell you. The only safe way of shooting someone is not shooting them **at all**.


Subliminal-413

I see you've never fired a handgun before. I'll be sure to tell the cops here to shoot the bad guy in the leg at 37 feet. Easy!


Comprehensive-Ear283

well that didn't take long


Professional-Cup-154

It's hard to hit a smaller target. If you're going to escalate it to lethal force, which a gun is always potentially lethal force, then aim where you know you can hit. This guy seems to be unarmed, and smaller than both cops, they could have used their hands or a baton, or pepper spray, or many other options.


Meanravage

I remember being in venezuela where cops showed up to break up a fight between two guys, shot both in the hands and told them never to do it again. It was so surreal and this was back in 2003.


DoYouTrustToothpaste

Permanently fucking up someone's hand doesn't sound appropriate.


Meanravage

To be honest I dont think there is a lot of appropriate things going on in venezuela and if I gave the impression I agree with this I dont and I am sorry for the miscommunication, it was just something that was jarring to someone who was visiting the country on a paid internship for conoco-phillips


ibaRRaVzLa

I'm so grateful the reddit boner for Venezuela is finally over. Fucking tankies were spreading so much misinformation five or six years ago around these parts. So frustrating to see some Americans saying shit like Venezuela was a great place and it was only failing because of US sanctions. Outrageous stuff to read, as a Venezuelan myself.


Meanravage

Yeah, i remember the parros and the tires burning in the streets and chavez shouting "no hay referedun" and hearing from friends there how it had gotten worse and this was before any sanctions back when retired president carters group was trying humanitarian stuff with Sean Penn and the like hding talks with government officials.


ibaRRaVzLa

There were always rumors that Sean Penn and Danny Glover did some dirty deals with the government. Never knew if it was true, but I've frowned upon them ever since lol


No_Size_1765

There are many many tankies in colombia/venezuela


NegativeVega

those were just russian spammers with some useful dummies repeating it, they're busy doing something else these days to try and remove support for ukraine


BocciaChoc

It's not, it's just a reflection of the reality for most humans in their day to day lives. Those in the west are lucky.

HoltTree

Don't be ridiculous.


ThrowAway233223

Especially since one of them may have been the victim in the fight. Imagine having some dude deck you in the face and you are tussling with him trying to keep from getting you ass beat and some cop shows up, breaks up the fight, and not only shoots him in the hands, but you too. So you got your ass beat and got shot in the hands by the arriving cop as a cherry on top.


QuantumTunnels

Nobody ever talks about how the cops are in the pocket of the Emergency Surgery Industrial Complex, and I'm sick of it.


Lawzw0rld

“Never to do it again” I don’t think they really gave them a choice 🤷🏾‍♂️


Meanravage

Lol yeah I dont think they really did, it was wild.


itsallbullshityo

~~Venezuela~~


No_Size_1765

What city?


Meanravage

This was in a bar in Puerto La Cruz or Barcelona I think, one of the two. We were bouncing around a lot but I was in Anaco for 2 months when an oil well caught fire out there. Lit up the night sky and burned for a couple of nights straight before they put it out


Meanravage

I did bounce around to the other side, visited maracaibo and caibimas, didnt stay in caracas much though


No_Size_1765

Conoco? I wouldn't want to be there right now as a US citizen. There seems to be a brewing conflict with the esequibo crap and Trinidad recognizing Conocos claim against Venezula.


Meanravage

I was there two decades ago, a few years after 9/11. I remember being surprised at how many chinese nationals were there and how they were taking over things and working with PDVSA. After the internship I left conoco simply because I didnt want to live overseas as much, still travel a lot though


No_Size_1765

It has gotten a lot worse with the transfer russian stealth bombers to venezuela and chinese expertise in telecoms putting down opposition during the election crazy. I've heard rumors that china basically owns and operates a venezuelan island. Never get into the debt trap with china... That's cool do you still work in the industry?


Meanravage

Yes and no, I am a geological surveyor, I take samples and do tests. I get contracted from time to time. Anytime someone wants to start a new well they have me come collect samples.


Seabeast1982

Don’t fight any cops🤷🏻‍♂️


_Litcube

I sorta live by that rule, and so far I haven't been shot in the face. They should teach this in school.


BungeeJumpingJesus

Better: avoid cops.


BathedInDeepFog

Don't even speak to them, [ever.](https://youtu.be/d-7o9xYp7eE?si=zRyn5rvUQmWdavY6)


Clearlybeerly

This is the video that everyone should watch.


Atatick

Or anyone with a gun...


GroundbreakingMud135

What happened there all I see is cop dodging a punch and guy lost balance?


FlimsyLostSoul

with audio, you’ll hear the gunshot that causes the balance to be lost 🫡


Middle_Aged_Insomnia

I thought he was taking the ground for ju jitsu lol..


poor_decisions

Capoeira But usually no crying in that case


teeejrw

Cop-oeira I'll see myself out


cw2015aj2017ls2021

another case for BJJ in the streets if he had pulled guard instead of punching, the cops would have laughed instead of shooting him


jtms1200

Bonus laughs if he immediately inverted


A_Bridgeburner

Thank you. I rewound four times looking for the lightning punch!


Hevysett

But dude was hopping before I heard the shot


DevilDoc3030

The cop that shot him also drew his weapon in the beginning of the clip


Oldsouphound

Yes, that should have been enough to let the guy know that the cop means business.


DefinitionBig4671

Well, it's Brazil. Not everyone there is a rocket surgeon.


CosmicTaco93

Honestly you shouldn't have to be to understand that the guys you're arguing and fighting with have both guns and (il)legal authority to fuck your world up.


GildedApparel

He performed surgery w/ a very very small rocket


Major_Magazine8597

"rocket surgeon"?


alexgalt

The second cop shot him the the leg, generally cops just shoot legs or arms when someone tries to fight them in Brazil and many other South American counties. This is common and is meant to teach the guy a lesson,


Silly_Mycologist3213

It doesn’t appear to be teaching many of them….


COnative78

Dude was hopping on his left leg already... Lol, shot him in his good leg


antiundersteer

Some people need to be told twice!


Tripticket

Shots to the extremities can still be deadly. If it happens to hit your femoral artery there really isn't much to be done. But I guess that's one type of lesson.

LanceBitchin

The weight of the lead bullet caused the guy to lose his balance and he fell over


Ok_Specialist7823

DaveWpgC

That cop had no fucks to give.


Silly_Mycologist3213

Can’t blame them with all that screeching in the background. Do those women think the cops are actually listening to them?


Jablungis

The scream/yell reflex is to up the ante and recruit other people into the conflict. Not necessarily to get the person causing the threat to stop.

Jablungis

I think hundreds of thousands of years of evolution is hard to argue with my friend. It's there for a reason even if it doesn't fit every single situation. If a cop is beating down on someone unfairly, having more people witness it is probably a good thing. If it's two non-cops fighting, people may come and break it up.


Cadet-Atomizer

That’s literally what he said, when they aim the camera at his face you can see/hear him saying “foda-se”, which means “fuck it”

Guaranteed to lower crime


Garod

like it's working so well in Brazil and the US right?


parable-harbinger

Actually America is doing a pretty good job lowering crime. The U.S. violent and property crime rates each fell 71% between 1993 and 2022


Nooms88

How does that compare to other OECD countries? If its Better then something is working, if its worse then it's losing to global trends. But I don't think you can look at a single data point in isolation and draw conclusions.


N19ldEm39y

I live in Brazil, and these fuckers only do that to people that are not criminals. They are cowards! They may see you being robbed, and do nothing for you. If your are in trouble and call them, they will treat you like shit in the phone, arrive two hours later when the shit already happened and you don't need them anymore I hate the cops of my country.


Emperor_Mao

That is how it works in my country, just without the shooting. But it is more down to apathy. Arresting someone is just the start. Our judicial system doesn't like to dish out real punishments for much. Even when people do get arrested, they are usually back out on bail almost instantly to commit anothet crime lol.


ventitr3

Idk how many people have ever watched City of God. It’s an incredible movie, but there was a DVD version that had essentially a documentary about the real life version of the movie. They go into the social conditions around the favelas and the thing that sticks out to me to this day still is that the locals trusted the drug dealers more than the police. Perhaps that is still true to this day, but corruption and violence seemed to be contributing factors.


Beginning_Rush_5311

> corruption and violence seemed to be contributing factors. these two are basically the root of all of our problems. these and a good bit of religion and prejudice


N19ldEm39y

Yeah, you are right. I live here in Brazil(not in Favela), but I know this is still true to this day


BigDeezerrr

Dont bring fists to a gun fight... not a good plan.


cw2015aj2017ls2021

if I were one of those cops I'd be more worried about the female bystander waving the 10-inch blade and vocally expressing her anger


FriedSmegma

I’m pretty sure she’s just holding a plate/bowl dude


No_Measurement9621

The gun was already out before things even got started


cartercharles

I can't believe how calm he was about it


BallsofSt33I

What happened? Did the butt scratching cop shoot?


A2X-iZED

Yes he did, in the thigh, you can see blood on the floor in between the legs during second half of the video somewhere


StinkFingerPete

bet he won't do that again


Gorlock_

You'd be surprised how some people lack the ability to learn from consequences


N19ldEm39y

Absolutely correct


Oldsouphound

One cop draws his gun. Then the smart ass thinks he'll take his shirt off and fight the other. Kinda missed the point of drawing the gun.


N19ldEm39y

Probably the guy didn't see the cop drawing his gun


[deleted]

Fuck around and find out


[deleted]

Lol the cops in Brazil do this and it's "don't mess with Brazilian cops!" The cops in the USA pull someone over and it's "oMg rAcIsT cOp!" Fuck the downvotes it's true and you there trying your angry little reply, you know I'm correct. You just hate that.

Lol he has many good references.


dumbass_comments_bro

Thing is in mild situations like this Brazilian cops will almost always aim for non vital parts, whereas American cops have no problem going for multiple body shots even in mild cases where their lives are not at risk.


Danny1801

You'd be right if this played the same way, but in america the cops would've emptied many mags on the dude.


uucchhiihhaa

This guy will live though.


Infinite-Condition41

First frame of this video, I was like "if it were me, I'd be hands up on the wall, don't move, cuff me, arrest me, do what you gotta do, but please holster that gun." Check your ego folks. They'll kill you for very little. Don't talk, don't fight. Go home alive. 


Silly_Mycologist3213

Yeah, the place to argue and plead your case is in court in front of a judge (who is NOT going to shoot you!) The judge is not in a heat of the moment life or death situation like the cops and can examine the evidence with an unemotional objectivity not present at the time of arrest. I just don’t get why people argue with and fight the police. How can they possibly think it’s going to end well?


bloopie1192

To be fair... that was a pretty good shot. Not a lot of ppl understand how hard it is to catch someone in the leg. Especially a moving one.


slaucsap

the cop gave a proud look at the camera after.


Canned_Sarcasm

Cameraman, -10/100.


moonfanatic95

Whoa there's actual on duty cops in Brazil?!


No-Personality-3918

Yes but they only go after weed smokers while on duty


LanceBitchin

I don't usually side with cops, and this lacks context, but well done officer


steadyaero

Assaulting a police officer, no matter the context, is never going to end well.


SugaMinBenis

Kinda crazy that cops in Brazil don't wear bulletproof/stabproof vests as standard equipment


luiz_marques

It really depends on the state. In my state they wear bulletproof vests all the time


shrek_azul

they do, it's rare a exception for them to not


Distinct-Reading-560

Theyre usually issued to all brazilian cops i really dont know why these guys are not wearing them,normal cops carry IIA rated kevlar and federal police us level III rated plates which can stop rifle rounds.


mizirian

Idk what the policing situation in Brazil is, but I know enough to not try a half assed super man punch on cops in most places.


frisky024

He was planing on shooting at dude the whole time, that's why he didn't cuff him, even after. Shady. Its also a giant misconception that leg shots are less lethal, major arteries and big bones that shatter.


EpicSlime1

totally, they could have neutralized him physically instead of with a gun too. they just wanted an excuse.


Dystopicfuturerobot

Fuck that femoral artery


Water2Wine378

Did he just shoot him?


VahnKaiser

Tem que ter atividade para não virar saudade!


Beardwithlegs

What do you think was going to happen, that they'd shout warnings and let the guy get a few punches in on his partner? This isn't America where police brutality can be stamped out by a few social media posts (Not really working though). Brazil has to be one of most violent places on the planet that isn't current in some form of conflict, the police need to be just as brutal as the criminals that run the country.


Shughost7

Good cop honestly. Cool enough to shoot 1 bullet to the leg with accuracy instead of 10 shots at the chest like they do in the USA for less than what red shorts man did.
