There’s so much about South American football that deserves praise and respect, especially that unique passion. However, sometimes, scenes from that part of the world can be upsetting and shocking. Like the ones coming from the Brazilian regional championship. Gremio Annapolis and Centro Ueste were playing a game of football, and instead of goals and chances, we’re looking at the upsetting wounding of goalkeeper Ramos Souza, who was shot by the police with a rubber bullet!? It made a serious hole in his thigh.🇧🇷 Grêmio Anápolis goalkeeper Ramón Souza was shot with a rubber bullet by a policeman after a skirmish following a 2-1 home defeat to Centro Oeste in the Goiás State 2nd division.If you are squeamish, do not look at the next tweet… 👇 pic.twitter.com/kUfJE3zmio— Tears at La Bombonera (@BomboneraTears) July 11, 2024 One policeman got into a verbal argument with the Gremio goalkeeper and shot him in the leg from a few meters away. Souza managed to flee the scene, before collapsing at the other end of the pitch. Only later photographs showed that the wound was quite serious.The police have already reacted by announcing that an investigation has been opened due to the excessive use of force. Gremio Annapolis stated that they will seek justice in court.”After the match, our goalkeeper was cowardly shot with a rubber bullet by a member of the special police unit (CPE). A horrible, unbelievable and criminal act by someone who should value the safety of the people at Jonas Duarte Stadium first and foremost. This violent, dirty act will never be forgotten. We will do everything to ensure that justice is served and that this criminal act does not go unpunished.”##NAJAVA_MECA_8204378##
