Brazilian Officers Have To Follow Insane Use of Force Rules
This video analyzes a critical incident in Paraná, Brazil, where officers faced a knife-wielding suspect holding a hostage. Experts John Correia and Mike Willover, identified as an Evidence-Based Defensive Trainer and Former Fed respectively, critically examine the restrictive use-of-force laws in Brazil. They highlight the dangerous hesitation these laws can induce in officers, forcing them to prioritize suspect apprehension over immediate threat neutralization, potentially endangering victims. The analysis includes tactical breakdowns of the takedown, disarming, and application of a vascular neck restraint (VNR), contrasting it with evolving US policies.
