Off Duty Brazil MP Defends baby in his arms

Post by bignflnut »

An off-duty military police officer shot dead two armed robbers while holding his child in one arm when the pair tried to hold up a pharmacy, CCTV footage shows.

Sergeant Rafael Souza had walked into the business 40km outside the city of São Paulo, Brazil, with his wife and child to buy medicine when the two men burst in wearing hoods and wielding guns.

One of the men - Jefferson Alves, 24 - then reportedly pointed his weapon at Mr Souza, who drew his pistol and is seen on camera shooting the attacker at close range.

The in-store video shows the officer disappear from the frame while his wife is seen taking cover in an aisle with her hands over her ears.

Mr Souza then appears back in the picture and hands his child over to the mother.

I'm glad they included the totally objective opinion of YouTube user 13athanatosgr13 at the end. Really added a lot to the article.

"Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom? Congress shall have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American ... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the People."
