Brazil cop shot dead in prank hold-up
The news article isn't very long, so I'll just copy that out here. Details seem to be.. scarce.
[quote]A Brazilian police officer playing a prank on a colleague by simulating a hold-up has been shot and killed.
An officer in the city of Rondonopolis was pulling out of his garage to go to work, when his friend rode up on a motorcycle wearing a helmet saying it was a hold-up.
The officer in the car drew his gun and fired several shots into his friend's stomach.
When he realised it was his friend, he rushed him to a hospital, but it was too late.[/quote]

It doesn't say anything about whether or not the victim was carrying a weapon, so I assume that there wasn't one involved. Given what little information there is, do you think shooting someone several times is necessary in said situation? Do you think the cop who shot his mate should be accountable for his actions?

5 RepliesI think that you are misidentifying the victim. The victim is not the one with the bullets in his belly. The victim is the person who did nothing except react to someone else putting him into a situation where he felt that he had to defend himself using deadly force. If the idiot playing the prank had thought twice about attempting to simulate a robbery of someone who they know to be armed and decided, "Oh, this could be dangerous" then this event would never have happened. The person playing the "prank" should have reasonably forseen the danger and potentially harmful outcome of such a act and not caused the situation.
