Luiz Pereira da Silva Neto Moura de Macena Mendonça is a military police officer. His attack on the 18-year-old gym-goer occurred at a facility in Goiania, Brazil. The incident was caught on camera. The footage went viral on social media.
Illegal Encounters
The Military Police of Goias State have said that the policeman has not been fired for his off-duty conduct. They did state that the incident “is being monitored by the Corrections and Discipline Command, which has instituted a Disciplinary Administrative Process.”
The Jam Press states that the police officer and his wife were angered by the fact that the girl was sitting at the machine scrolling through her phone between her sets. Her time at the machine prevented other people from using it.
The wife apparently initially approached the young woman and asked her how much longer she’d be at the machine. That conversation started an argument. The woman eventually got up and wandered to another part of the facility. “You can use it now, chicken,” she commented.
Wild Fights
Mendonca didn’t appreciate the comment that the young woman made toward his wife. He approached the young woman who proceeded to shove him. He comes at her and lands a left hook into her cheek. The young woman loses her balance and stumbles backward.
Her friends attempt to break up the fight, and the officer attacks them as well.
A complaint has been filed by the young woman and several witnesses. The cop has since been banned from the facility. They’ve also expressed that their gym is not a place where physical violence will be tolerated in any way, shape, or form.
