  How many times have we said " If they try and steal my bike I'd blast em"... Well, there's one that didn't get away.
   I don't wish the thief too much ill will but I do wish him a  bit of pain so maybe that will teach him a lesson.

other news outlets reported that he died, actually.

Looked like that cop aimed dead center mass, and by the way he dropped I'm not surprised he's dead. That was a helluva risky shot with all those pedestrians around.

Nice shot!

Hate to sound like a d!ck but you use a hand gun or any firearm in a robbery you have to think that it's always a strong possibility you will get shot yuorself.
Karma can be a real pregnant dog

No loss to the world at large...........  That being said one has to be nuts to deal with Brazilian cops at all.  I remember a bank robbery video where the cops executed the guy that did it.  Cold blooded execution behind a van. 

Personally I think if you are caught using a gun in a crime the penalty should be death, by gun.  I have no love in my heart for violent criminals and would just assume shoot each one.  That's just me though.

Years ago in Long Beach I had some scumbags try to take my bike at a light.  They had no gun because when I told them they could have it if they could take it I placed my hand behind my back like I was about to pull a pistol.  They all ran.  I still thank my lucky stars they did not have a gun or I would have been shot.  Not the brightest move.........

a wise man once told me , "you never wield a weapon unless you intend to use it. using it as a threat isn't use, and it most likely will be turned against you if you use them in that way"

Heard two shots - one in each nut so the bullets would get caught in the seat padding and not damage the paint....(yes, I am warped).  

Was that a VR46 hat the perp was wearing backwards?

How do you pull away on a bike with a gun in one hand, anyway?

Nevermind the legal implications if you use it with the intent to threaten but not as deadly force.

That's scary.  I mean the rider didn't have time to do anything even if he wanted.  Scary scary stuff.

He probably wouldn't have been shot, but he raised his gun at the cop.  Not the brightest move.  If he was desperate he should have simply fled.  There would have been an excellent chance that the cop wouldn't have fired a shot.
