Five Brazilian police officers have been arrested after television stations broadcast a video in which some of them appear to shoot a 14-year-old-boy.

The footage - captured by a security camera in the city of Manaus - shows uniformed men pushing the teenager before shooting him in the chest.

The boy survived with several wounds and is now in a witness protection programme along with his family.

It is probably more like the extremes between them are very blurred. Not all police are gangsters. Generally there are many police who are under extremely dangerous circumstances who overreact when they perceive themselves to be in danger.
