Retired cop said the guy shot first... video suggests otherwise.

According to the São Paulo Public Security Secretariat, the retired police officer was in a commercial establishment on Anacé Avenue when a thief tried to steal a delivery man's motorcycle.

The establishment's security cameras captured the exact moment of the incident. In the images, you can see the former agent, dressed in a green blouse, being served at the counter. Meanwhile, the delivery person leaves and returns from the establishment with purchased goods. At that moment, a man in a black t-shirt approaches and tries to start the motorcycle.

The delivery man, upon noticing the robbery, runs to his vehicle and tries to stop the suspect, who pulls out a gun. The retired police officer, upon seeing what was happening, identified himself and ordered the arrest of the criminal. However, the robber shot first, which caused the officer to respond with several shots.

The criminal, 24 years old, was transferred to the Campo Limpo municipal hospital, where he died. Next to him, five gold rings were found, stolen in previous robberies in the same area.

Think he's already dead right there in the street.

a belt and some dignity would add 5 minutes to every robber's getaway time, but nope

Looks like the robber was putting his gun away, then whipped his head around toward the ex-cop as the robber went to pull his gun out again. Then the ex-cop started shooting. From that action, it looks to me like the ex-cop announced his intent and then timed it as close as possible before shooting, while minimizing opportunity for return fire. Well played.
