In 2009, Brazilian Police in Rio De Janiero had one of their helicopters shot down by drug dealers.
Fast forward to the video I posted yesterday and you find Brazilian Police shooting at a fleeing car.
Two wrongs don't make a right, but the police in that country are dealing with a threat that we (meaning those of us in the United States) cannot begin to comprehend. Think about it. When Brazilian Police buy armored cars its because they ACTUALLY NEED armored cars. They wear helmets and body armor because they face foes that are equipped with real deal, 100 percent actual and factual assault rifles...battle field level assault rifles.
We have SWAT teams in major cities that might get called out for questionable raids against mom and pop just so that those SWAT teams can justify their existence.
Brazil has Police Special Operations Battalions because they go up against gangs of drug dealers that number in the 100's if not 1000's in built up areas surrounding their major cities.
I still want to know more but this one time I'm willing to cut the police slack.
