Police Warning on Election Risks

Your life is at risk, and I want you to watch this video until the end,

because then everything will make sense. You know I'm a civil police officer,

you know that

I worked in the Homicide Division of the Civil Police of the State of Rio Grande do

Sul,

that I am a trained tactical operator with the Special Operations Unit, which

is CORE, in the Special Tactical Operations course

here at the Civil Police of Rio

Grande do Sul. And I need to warn you about something that is

entirely connected

to Sunday's elections. And I want you to think carefully about what

I'm going

to say, because your life really is at risk

and you will understand why,

okay? Stay with me until the end.

This is a magazine that is inserted into the weapon.

It can be a pistol, a submachine gun, a rifle,

it doesn't matter.

And here the magazine pulls, and here we have a cartridge. Perfect?

Cartridge, casing, projectile. The projectile here, right, we have the

casing being ejected. Every firearm shot ejects this

casing.

The projectile goes forward, exits through the barrel, and hits the target or not.

Then this will also be used— forensics will use it.

But the gun makes this motion here, right?

With every shot, it opens this chamber and the casing is ejected,

right? The projectile exits, the casing remains at the scene.

Where I shoot is where the casing remains, right at the scene. What happens?

Forensics goes to the scene, the police go to the scene,

and try to locate the projectile.

If it is in the body, it will be used for forensic analysis,

to see whether the gun is the same,

and so on. And the casing remains. I want to talk specifically about the casing

now.

And you'll understand why this is extremely serious,

what's happening and why

your life is at risk. I'll try to find it here,

which is very hard to find,

because you need a magnifying glass for this, okay? But I think I found it here, here.

If you look closely, there's like a little mark, okay? Here. On the cartridge base too.

That little mark is actually the marking.

This is later enlarged by the tools used by forensics and the police, and

it has the marking. Every, every round of this, every

cartridge, in the end, every casing, has a specific marking.

We know the batch, we know where it came from,

we know where it was sold,

we know everything from that. So, in a homicide investigation, it's

very

important, you'll know where that

ammunition came from.

Then, knowing where it came from, you go to, say, a battalion, a

police station or a store and explain: “Hey, come here, how was this ammunition

diverted?” Then you'll find out, usually, who made

money or

who diverted this ammunition, right?

Then, through this person's connections, you begin to

reach the people who ordered the crime,

the killers. This is very important, especially in Brazil, which is one of the

countries with the lowest homicide clearance rates in the world, and one of the

countries with the highest rates. But one detail, right.

In the last year of the Bolsonaro government, there were 52,000 homicides.

Now under Lula's government, 32,000, that is, 20,000 fewer. Now they

want to say things were better under Bolsonaro. But that's beside the point,

or is it?

Now I want to talk about this.

Thanks to this, thousands, perhaps millions of homicides have

been solved, through the ability to trace the

ammunition.

Even Mariele Franco's murder, which could only be solved

because of this record on the ammunition.

And then I ask: do you know who's against this marking on

ammunition? Flávio Bolsonaro, through Law three— the law is

3723 of 2019. And he wants to remove the requirement for this

here. And then you start thinking, right, 2019, Mariele Franco,

Flávio Bolsonaro sending two hundred thousand reais in public money to the NGO,

the brothers

Brazão, the masterminds behind Mariele Franco's murder.

Franco.

Him honoring Adriano da Nóbrega, the biggest militia hitman from the same group

that

killed Mariele Franco, he honored him and put him on his staff.

his relatives as well.

relatives of Adriano da Nóbrega.

He also defended the murderers of Judge Patrícia Acioli, who was investigating organized crime

in Rio de Janeiro, including the militias,

with 21 shots from

a rifle, and it was only possible to identify the masterminds and

the murderers because

of that record. And Flávio Bolsonaro defended the

murderers.

Also Ana Clara, a five-year-old girl,

killed by a rifle

shot at her front door. It was only possible to find out who had

killed her through

that record. Do you know who defended the killer?

Flávio Bolsonaro.

Just look it up. And then I ask you, sir and ma'am,

if a family member

of yours, you yourself, your wife, a friend, a female friend, becomes

the victim of a robbery-homicide, they tried to rob them and killed them,

of a homicide,

You won't be— won't want to know where this

ammunition came from, you won't want to

know who ordered it, you won't want to know who's behind

this

murder? Honestly, think about it, drop this whole "Oh,

I hate Lula" thing. That's not

the point. You won't want to help the police

investigate the crimes of

murder and robbery-murder? Are you seriously not going to want the

police to have

investigative tools simply because it's a— you want to vote for a guy

who clearly has ties to organized crime, from Banco Master to the

INSS, and to actual organized crime?

This ammunition, this law of his shows who he's

working for, in my

view, because it greatly hinders the

investigation of murders.

This is an officer from the homicide division speaking, and I hope I've made it very

clear

how difficult investigating will be and how much this helps investigations.

It isn't hard to understand.

Perhaps, unfortunately, even your death or that of a family member

of yours,

which may remain unsolved thanks to a Flávio Bolsonaro law.

And that's why on Sunday you have to think carefully about where you're going to cast

your vote and who each politician is working for.

For me, anyone who opposes ammunition marking

is working for

organized crime.
