[EDITED TO ADD WARNING - This clip contains footage of someone being shot]
[EDIT 2 - As anticipated, the original clip has been removed from youtube. Luckily I saved it beforehand, and i'm reuploading it now.]
Every biker's worst nightmare. The main issue with motorcycles is they're incredibly easy to steal, and as this clip demonstrates there's nothing between you and anyone willing to make a grab for it. In less than half a minute they've got the guy off the bike, and ready to make good their escape.
Having said that, I have to say, I have no issues whatsoever with how this video ends.
According to the video description, the police wounded but didn't kill the hijacker. More importantly, the motorcycle only suffered minor cosmetic damage. Shame the other biker orchestrating the attempt didn't get caught too, but with his face clearly visible on the footage, there's every chance he'll be found.
Sao Paulo constabulary do not fuck around.

Well, that's a one messed up country. Just Jeez, out of nowhere everybody have guns and it's funny how this policeman just jumps out of his car, shots thieve, says something and leaves. For him it must be pretty normal to shot somebody, like everyday routine. :D

It looks like that police officer just hops out of the cars stopped on the other side of the road and puts some rounds in the hijacker. I think they picked a bad spot to rob somebody.

Maybe motorcycle laws are different in Brazil but this guy was riding like a tool and had it coming... take his bike AND his license for that. Although on the other hand it's nice to see cops actually protecting someone from crime instead of writing tickets for petty bullshit. PLUS, stealing a bike(or attempting to) at gunpoint is probably the worse crime, here.
Also, I guess this guy could have known he was being chased, hence the "creative" maneuvering.

Yes, guns might kill people but they also keep people from stealing your hard earned stuff.
That policeman has some outstanding skills. He was able to assess the situation, plan it out and execute all within seconds. His shot placement incapacitated the theif rather than killing, which is better I guess. I never thought I would ever see a guy wearing capris and flipflops get shot. Thank you this video has made my day.

This is what I would image would happen in Texas. Hate to say this, but you bring a gun to a gun fight you better be ready for the repercussions. Great argument for conceal and carry. Was there some kind of motorcade going on there or close to a station with a shift change going on? seemed to be like three cops the one in uniform and the guys in street cloths just stepped right out.
Also shows that you can take some one down with out killing them that cop was a good shot. He is just like you idiot did you not see the camera on my helmet.

What's the purpose of that? To disable the bike?
If you're unarmed and you think the armed man is going to take your bike and leave you, that's not a good strategy. Don't frustrate the guy with the gun and trap him there with you.
I go armed, but I'd still rather lose a motorcycle than start a gunfight I don't have to. Fights are chaotic, and you can do everything right and still die or spend years defending your actions with your home and family at stake.

did you bother to watch the whole video, or just kinda do the cliff notes thing? He got his car out of traffic, while calling it in to the station. You can tell that's who must have been called by the cops that show up later, and you can see him right there.

I think it should be noted that in this situation the officer shot to WOUND. He shot the guy in the arm. Here in the USA they would have aimed for the heart and head. Or if the cop was undercover in a motorcycle club, he would have smashed his his windshield.

In this case, civilian gun ownership is what allowed the theft to happen. If he didn't have a gun, he probably doesn't get that bike in the first place. The gun that ended it was a police officer's, and their gun rights aren't really up for debate in most gun control arguments.

That's actually normal behaviour here in Brazil... Traffic laws are more a suggestion than actual laws, and the cops don't pull people over like they do in the US and UK. They just mail the fines later on if you screwed up. Or if you didn't, but they felt like screwing you up anyways. Don't believe me? Here's a speeding ticket issued for someone who was doing 880 kph, which I think is slightly impossible.
And here's one for 4800 kph

Would probably be easier to hit the killswitch, but this is on the basis that we know the outcome. If the cop hadn't intervened, he'd probably have been best off letting them take the bike and go. Assuming they weren't planning on shooting him anyway since he saw both their faces and had them on camera.

That was more satisfying then the video I just watched about the 25 y/o blackhead being removed.
Someone posted that this shows "you can take someone down without killing them". Don't know how the police operate in Brazil, but in the US law enforcement don't shot to wound or kill, they shot "to stop the threat" and shot at the easiest target on the body, center mass.
That said, good shooting on the part of the police here.

riding with a gopro is necessity these days. though american police for some reason think that riding with a camera on is probably cause enough to pull you over and try to confiscate it. then when you try to tell the police politely that they just can't take your property. They just arrest you for some BS and take it anyways.
as far as motorcycle theft prevention goes. I believe there are devices that will disable the bike, if the bike is a certain distance away from the fob. So you can ride with the fob on your person and watch as the thief gets a few feet away and then abandons the dead bike.

At 1:40 a guy in a dark blue shirt wanders into the frame with a handgun in his hand. Later on he is in the video standing around. Is there any indication as to who he is? Can civilians carry handguns in Sao Palo/Brazil? If the shooter was a police officer of some kind, as is implied, why would a civilian become involved AND display a gun doing so? That would get him shot in the US 99% of the time, I suspect.
And if enough civilians carry like that, isn't sticking someone up for their bike dangerous? Or for that matter if there are uniformed officers *right there* all the time?
