The guy's luck they cop didn't miss.
The theif is unlucky that a cop happened to be nearby. I'm guessing on his way to work.

Theif also got what he deserved. I imagine the owner was saying something like, "Well?! Was it worth it mother (expantive) ?!"

I used google translate here's what it said in the article

Escarante Leonardo Santos, 35, was rushed to hospital after he Saturday afternoon tried to rob a motorcycle.

He drove also on a motorcycle with a friend when he with gun forced a driver of a Honda Hornet to stop in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Santos, with sunglasses, jumped off comrade Honda Twister and pointed to the motorcycle driver with a .38 caliber revolver and demanded to take over the motorcycle.

A member of the military police appear to be random over the robbery when he was on his way home from work.

He shot at the robber, who was wounded in the leg and stomach - his condition is unknown.

Authorities establish that the military officer's behavior is correct, as 'robber pointing at him with the gun'.

In a press release states Civil Police, the 'action shows that he will protect society from violent criminals'

Haven't controlled every words, so it could be some misspelled or not gramma correctly written(Yoda-stil you know)

The owner after thanking the police man, pretty much insulted the robber and says that he (the robber) is now going to assault in hell and now he will die, that is never going to do that again. Rants about the robber being treated as "mr". ANd talks again that he worked hard to buy the moto and the robber is a lowlife that only assaults people, etc.

Man, I love that cop. If someone stopped me like that, however, it would have been a big mistake. As soon as the robber turned to pick up the bike I would have pulled my 9.

Thanks for the translation. How about what the rider said as he was being jacked?

Basically along the lines of "it's ok, you can take it, I'm not going to raise trouble." He was in real danger there, the perpetrator would not hesitate to kill him if he wasn't fully cooperative.
I've never visited Brazil, but I get the distinct impression that L.E.O. behaviour is proportional to the cold hearted violence displayed by local criminals. Some areas in major cities seem to be true war zones. Possibly not unlike Ciudad Juarez.
A friend of mine spent 6 months there, and he told me he had to keep his cell phone out of sight all the time while out in the streets. If needed, he would have to go somewhere private like a toilet before flipping it out. The cell phone, that is.

Edit: I tried, but didn't find, a link to watch online "City of God". It's as realistic as can be, if you can find it.

Neal,! What Bruce said above! He also says that he is not armed and to the robber be calm, normal for anyone in a similar situation!
The brazilian police is a shoot first, ask questions latter if the person is still alive!
