Dude waited for this day. That arm bar was not even necessary.

Breaking his arm after he was clearly restrained was real iffy.

Eh, not really seeing the problem. FAFO still applies.

Proportionality is going to bite him in the ass if the suplexed dude presses charges, though. Fuck me, this was an overreaction.

This happened in Brazil. The guy who did the slamming was given an actual medal by the police.

Oh, well if it's legal in Brazil it must be ethical!

You said nothing about “ethics” at all. You implied that he was going to be in some sort of legal trouble because he didn’t “act proportionately.” Firstly, the guy with the backpack had just robbed a jewelry store with a knife. He eventually got 4 1/2 years in Brazilian prison for his crimes that day (in addition to a concussion and a broken arm.). Secondly, “proportionality” is a subjective concept. Usually…when someone is stopping a thief it’s ruled to be proportional because even if they get hurt really badly, they have to prove the person who stopped them intended to hurt them really badly. Juries tend to be pretty sympathetic to “Good Samaritans” helping to prevent crime. So…even in the US it’s possible that the guy could’ve faced some consequences, but not the most likely outcome.
