Thoughts on Jorgensen/Barao?

Considering the difference in the environments, I would think that the mindset of someone who signs up to be a cop in Brazil would, in most cases at least, be different from the mindset of someone who signs up to be a cop in America.

In the US most cops go their whole careers without ever drawing their gun . . . in Brazil I have to think that the likelihood of getting killed is much higher.

Well consider that maybe they don't know anything is wrong, or that things are different anywhere else in the world. Brazilians probably know about as much about america as we do about Brazil. Money is probably a big motivation too. Better to make your money walking a beat and shooting at criminals than wasting away sewing soccer balls.

No, I mean what would inspire someone to be a cop in a war zone, basically.

Oh, yeah I am sure. Also, I think most law abiding citizens in Brazil actually respect the police. I thought you just meant in general.

Ask poopoo, he wants to be a pig.

Yeah I thought about it, mostly because the pay was decent and it seems like a fun job for the most part.

[SPX]

I honestly think for most cops it is just something to do that sounds badass and not boring. Ask poopoo, he wants to be a pig.

Some people just feel like thats the only way to "make a difference" I think. Plus what kid doesn't grow up admiring cops and wanting to grow up catching bad guys?

Well I guess that's my question. Are the members of the police force in Brazil like, "We need to clean up this town! It's time to make a difference!"

Or are they like, "We need to get these drug dealers so that we can steal their drugs and get in on the profits!"

What kind of shape is mansur in? Is he alrihgt after all those yeqrs of shape bjj

He moves better than most 20 year olds, he actually suprised the shit out of me how quick he is. He is in great shape and still rolls and takes falls like a champ. It was pretty inspiring.

I've always wondered why someone would sign up for a job like that.

Is it for the adventure? To get in on the corruption? Or do the people who do it truly believe in what they're doing?

Pretty sure it is for the action and power. I applied for the FBI when i was younger, just wanted to whup some ass legally, run red lights, and when someone messed with me I could go "Special Agent, FBI" and whip out my cock- I mean badge.

[SPX]

He was a member of the special police (like Paulo Thiago) for like 40 years. A real badass, but a super nice guy.
