The terrifying scene reportedly went down in Sao Paulo at 3 p.m. Saturday – caught on the victim’s helmet cam – and starts with him driving his Honda Hornet down the street. As he approaches an intersection, another bike pulls up alongside and the armed passenger jumps off.
Whipping out a .38 caliber revolver, the man orders the biker from his wheels, and then tries to mount the ride off.
Out of nowhere, a military police officer sprints across the road and shoots him in the leg. The accomplice escapes.
Santos was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery.
One Internet transcript of the entire scene, including the interaction between the driver and the attempted thief after he was shot is noted below:
Victim: Now you’re gonna rob in hell you son of a bitch.
Robber (whining): I got shot!
Victim (pissed off): You go fuck yourself! You’re the one pointing gun at other people’s face!
Robber: Oh, I’m gonna die.
Victim: You sure will! You should have already! Son of a bitch.
Robber inaudible, apparently asks someone to get him something to drink.
Victim: You’re gonna drink in hell! You’re gonna drink the devil!
The popular assumption online is that the thief will be fine and many are hailing the cop as a hero, saying the thief got exactly what he deserved. Others commenters just seem to chalk it up to another day in Brazil.
Civil Police released a statement defending the shooting.
“Preliminary analysis of the video suggests that the action of the military police was legitimate and correct, with the observance of police techniques,” it said.
“(It) clearly shows that the robber pointed his gun towards the police officer. The actions demonstrated commitment to public cause, defending society from violent criminals.”
Old West justice!
Instant justice!
