Brazil police filmed 'shooting boy' in Manaus - Polidicks

[quote=BBC] [img]http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/51832000/jpg/_51832658_011609759-1.jpg[/img] The footage was recorded by a private security camera Five Brazilian police officers have been arrested after television stations broadcast a video in which some of them appear to shoot a 14-year-old-boy. The footage - captured by a security camera in the city of Manaus - shows uniformed men pushing the teenager before shooting him in the chest. The boy survived with several wounds and is now in a witness protection programme along with his family. The incident happened in August but has only recently come to light. The boy's family and the person in charge of the security camera, as well as the first reporter to see the footage, initially held the video back because they feared retaliation if it was made public, prosecutors said. Amazonas state prosecutor Joao Bosco Sa Valente said the officers would face charges of attempted homicide. "I have been fighting organised crime for 30 years, but every time I see those images I feel indignation and disgust," the prosecutor told the Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo. The images have attracted widespread media attention across Brazil. Police officers in Brazil are frequently accused of using excessive force against criminal suspects, including extrajudicial execution.

[QUOTE=dogmachines;28801429]What the fuck. Is this fun for them?[/QUOTE] Basically yeah. The brazilian police force consists of bunch of assholes mostly. They like to push around and beat up the poor people.

And who shot the police? [sp]A camera[/sp]

:v: Why do I have a gut feeling this is fake? Its just a gut feeling but I don't know, something about it just seems off.

[QUOTE=Hullu V3;28801545]You don't seem to know how the law works in Brazil.[/QUOTE] NO I don't. That's why it feels off.

BBC isn't exactly known for spreading lies

[QUOTE=Swilly;28801556]NO I don't. That's why it feels off.[/QUOTE] Well the footage is very real and this isn't the only time something like this has happened.

Also, I have brazilian friends, they can vouch that things like this aren't completely unheard of

Wow! That's a fucking hard situation that kid was in... hopefully he'll fully recover.

[QUOTE=Hullu V3;28801545]You don't seem to know how the law works in Brazil.[/QUOTE] It doesn't. :v:

brazil police u so funny

Looks like the kid didn't give his moneys to some other kid, and he was reported for real. Jokes aside, this is just awfull, but strange. Wasn't he shot? Shouldn't he be all... dead?

At 0:37 it looks like the other police officer shoots the officer who shot the boy.

He looked absolutely fine even though he just got shot in the chest, what a hardcore kid.

That is straight out fucked up. But I love the hero cop that shot the cop that shot the boy.

[QUOTE=Matix;28801501]And who shot the police? [sp]A camera[/sp][/QUOTE] Like a modern version of the pen being mightier than the sword :v:

[QUOTE=Hullu V3;28801413]Here's the video if anyone is interested. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh__IZuNsqM[/media][/QUOTE] Jesus christ, that was hard to watch. Kid looked terrified and the guy just shoots him out of nowhere.

He gets shot in the chest and is able to run away? FUCK THAT GUY IS STRONG. :psyboom:

And I thought I was desensitized to shit like this.

Surely they were using blanks? There was no blood, and if it had been a real bullet it would have pierced his lung and theres no way he'd be able to run away. *EDIT* [quote]The boy was hit five times, Valente said. He spent 10 days in a hospital, according to the prosecutor's spokeswoman, Cristina Magda Pereira Goes. One of the shots punctured his lung, requiring him to spend two days in the intensive care unit, Pereira said. “He didn't die because of sheer luck,” she said. [/quote] Wow

[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;28803956]Armchair Forensics Analyst right here.[/QUOTE] Well its common sense really....You dont need to be a forensics analyst to know what blood looks like, or to see where someone was shot. Instead of blindly defending my statement at least I went out and disproved myself.

[QUOTE=Hullu V3;28801413]Here's the video if anyone is interested. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh__IZuNsqM[/media][/QUOTE] He took that like a champ. I hope he's doing ok now.
