This compilation of security and helmet camera footage shows what happens when two would-be robbers try to shake down another bike rider in Sao Paolo, Brazil. The problem for these two gentlemen is this: their mark is an off-duty police officer with previous experience in a detention center and social work. In other words, he is armed and extremely street-smart. The officer takes his opportunity and lights up the robbers. One, a 20 year old male is killed, and the other, a minor whose age was not given, was wounded and detained. In his own words, the officer was not trying to kill, but to ward them off. However, he advises that most people with less training should simply comply in robberies such as this, since fighting back can be extremely risky.
