Intimidating as hell too.
Bulls on parade
Make Bodycam buffalo squad: Brazil a thing now

repost
Just run in wooded swamp with trees four feet apart or less. You good.
Man on a Buffalo.
Across the globe, [Yaksmen](https://youtu.be/PKubZ5btqC8) are a country’s premier law enforcement agency.
Guy on a buffalooooooo!
“Good morning, Officer Mongo”
Are the reins going through the buffalo’s nostrils? Is there a reason they aren’t using a type of bridle and bit like with horses?
Sorry if I got the terminology wrong.
If this isnt bad ass, I dont know what is
That’s the most badass irl mount I’ve ever seen.
Obviously they go the idea from the [guy on a buffalo](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ4T9CQA0UM).

can you imagine using those for crowd control? It would take some real cojones to try to face those horns down.
I’m not saying this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen, but it is.
“Yama” a character in Hindu mythology is tasked with collecting and judging the dying souls of the mortal world. Sort of like the combination of the death Reaper and Anubis.
He supposedly rides around on a bull just like this

Brazil is a fucking GTA online modded lobby
I am Brazilian and never knew that, internet sometimes does a incredible job.
Just for information, Marajo, is not pronounced as in English/Spanish, like “Mara-ho/Mara-ro”, where the J sounds like R / H or something like that, The Jo of Marajo, sounds like Jo of Joseph, and it has a tone in it, so the name of the island is Marajó.
There was some Native Americans who lived in the Northeast part of Brazil, before it was colonized by Portugal, who lived in swamps and rivers. In a Portuguese priest (do not remember his name) journal, it’s said they ran on the swamps so fast it was scary, no one could best them in running, from how much they were so used to it, they had the habit of eating their enemies and were so energetic, when a man hit one of them on the head with an axe and it penetrated his brain, he kept fighting fiercely till eventually dying.
Northeast region of Brazil is so much rich in culture and nature, one of the best places to visit independently if you are or not from Brazil. I am from Southeast, here we have cool places too, like Rio de Janeiro where I come from, beaches and points of interest like Pao de Açucar or Cristo Redentor and Minas Gerais, where I live who has great Mountain range and cities with amazing architecture like Ouro Preto.
Suddenly all those police SUVs and Chargers are pathetic.
Whoa!
So wait how do you distinguish the regular buffalo from the off-duty cop buffalo
