Are those guys BOPE (I can't tell)? If so, I would have expected them to have better weapons. It's one thing for rank-and-file city police to have to buy their own shit, but I've always understood that BOPE is very well-funded and well-equipped (by South American standards). If I recall, they were one of the first customers for the FN P90.

Does that one shirtless dude have his wallet tucked into his pants?

They´re not from the Bope (they don´t wear urban camo uniforms), they´re from the Military Police (gendarmerie, not part of the armed forces).

PS:

This is our GEOF from the Federal Police, sometimes they´re better armed than the army:

None of this would be necessary if drugs were legal.

It needs a KAC RAS. :p

Theres a difference between letting potheads get some weed at 7-11 and legalizing meth, heroine and cocaine and all those other baddies.

Gun control wasn't an issue in this country until after drugs and alcohol were made illegal. Chew on that for a few minutes.

Homicide Detectives wouldn't be necessary if Murder was legal

Take your pothead agenda elsewhere, this is a movie gun forum...

The prohibition of murder hasn't lead to the militarization of police, the massive encroachment on our basic civil liberties, overcrowding of prisons, wasteful spending of tax dollars to appease a moralist minority, or the endless cycle of violence perpetuated by the ridiculous profits margins that can be obtained from an untaxed and unregulated market with an unending demand.

Most murders are drug related by virtue of being gang related, so it would actually make homicide detectives jobs (and the jobs of all law enforcement) a whole lot easier to just axe this gigantic bloated Sisyphean assault on common sense.

This is the Just Guns subforum, movie discussion not necessary. And I don't have a "pothead" agenda, I have a freedom and liberty agenda. Banning something because you don't like it is the exact opposite of what being an American is supposed to be about.
