it happened at an "unknown location" in Brazil

the rider just happened to be filming his ride

an undercover cop just happened to be at the location of the theft

the thief dying was reported by the film poster

I don't know . . . . a bit skeptical

it wasn't the owner just trying to get his bike back from a thief ? No questions, no warning, just shoots the guy.
There's something weird about the perps gun.

Fishy, very fishy.
