CCTV security footage shows an armed mugger get shot down by police seconds after he attempts to rob a pedestrian.

It may take a couple views of the video to realize how the scenario goes down, but two crooks on a single motorcycle pull up to a busy sidewalk, and one jumps off to rob people at gunpoint. The policemen were also on a single motorcycle just behind the thieves. It's not clear if they were following them intentionally as part of a sting operation or if they just happened to be present at the time of the incident. Regardless, their reaction is immediate.

One of the officers shoots the suspect to the ground, and the suspect attempts to fire back, but the second cop is flanking around into the street and delivers another shot into the criminal, neutralizing him. They then disarm him before the video ends.

The dateline on the screen suggest the footage is from 2022, but the exact location isn't known by us. If I had to guess... Brazil. It's always Brazil.
