Not sure shooting him was the best course of action, and not because I think the thief didn't deserve it. The guy whose bike was just stolen is literally standing behind the thief when the cop shoots him. If the cop's aim was off by just a little or even if one of the bullets had over-penetrated the target, the guy with the helmet cam would have been hit. I'm glad just the asshole trying to steal the bike took some rounds.

Yay Brazil.

The guy isn't shot dead-you can see him moving towards the end of the video as the high-jackee verbally abuses him.

He might not have been dead immediately after, but he died eventually.

According to the user who posted the video, the thief later died from his injuries.

And now that I've thought about it some more, I believe that the way things unfolded in the video was probably the best possible outcome. If the cop had tried to get him to surrender, the assailant could have either started a full-blown gunfight in the middle of that intersection or tried to flee on that bike, in which case the cop would have had to try to hit a moving target or chase the thief through the streets of that Brazilian city COPS-style. Good on the officer for putting a couple rounds on target before the criminal had a chance to react.

According to the news down here, he survived the shooting, unfortunately.
