Our cops in the USA have very strict rules of engagement. I was talking to a couple of really cool cops in my area and we got to talking about when it is legit and not legit to pull your firearm. They told me that even if I came at them with a knife, they weren't supposed to kill me. It was strange for me to hear that. I thought that if a cop was under any sort of life danger, he could shoot to kill after verbal warnings, proper escalation, etc. Those Brazilian cops may have different rules for using lethal force.

I liked watching them in action by the way. I'm wondering why I didn't see any GSW or blood on the suspect they dragged out to the van though.

Couple things that does not make much sense. Through out the video you see these 2 rambos shoot and run but you don't see the bad guys, then all the sudden 4-5 cops are carrying the body of a half naked man who seems either unconscious or dead, but there is no blood. Also camera guy is moving under fire with the 2 cops, seems kinda staged to me.

I don't know if it's staged, or if it's real, but if the Brazilian cops are really like that, kudos to them.

I'd like my local police to be that bad@$$. This........almost...makes me want to join the SWAT team........almost. The fact that I don't like bullets in my body would probably be the one thing keeping me from joining.

Hm. You know you have to earn your paycheck the hard way when they hand you a Bren gun, shit..!
Copa de elite and City of God are good movies that shine some light on the situation with the criminals and police down there.
Cops are crooked, Bope shoot crooked cops and gangsters, and the gangsters are trying to survive by any means possible. Or they do stuff like kidnap cops en masse, and blackmail the government into shoving football in the prisons..! Crazy shit!

That sort of thing (with the knife) is dependant alot on departments and city politics. Where I live (in the USA) if you brandish a knife at a cop and go at him, he is going to shoot you, and be justified in doing it (just like the cops in your area could, but departments are weird). One department did have a weird rule for a while regarding someone trying to kill them with a car, they were not allowed to shoot at the car, and were the only PD around with that policy. So alot of times rules like that are 100% political and can vary wildly even in neighboring towns/counties.

Brazilian cops are pretty badass for sure. A totally different breed than the law enforcement we have in the States. Hell even the guys they have to change the money on the ATM scared the fuck out of me.
