Since he was filmed in a car on the green line 2 of the São Paulo subway kissing another man, military police officer Leandro Prior began receiving messages of death threats from internet users and other police officers who were uncomfortable with the soldier's overexposure on social media. Recently, the print of a threat made by a soldier from Rondas Ostensivas Tobias de Aguiar (Rota), an elite troop of the São Paulo Military Police, made him the target of an investigation that investigates the threats received by Prior . In the text, the Rota PM calls Leandro, his professional colleague, a “dirty scoundrel” and states that he “deserves to die on stones”. “Here we do not accept a uniformed police officer in the middle of the subway kissing a man on the mouth. Disgraceful, dishonor to my corporation. This one had to die on the rocks! You naughty scoundrel! If anyone doesn't like this comment, f**k them too!”, the police officer wrote on his personal Facebook page. The case is being investigated by Decradi – Police Station for Racial Crimes and Intolerance Offenses. Although homophobia is not considered a crime in Brazil, threats and insults with homophobic content will be investigated and those responsible may be held criminally responsible. In a note, the São Paulo Public Security Secretariat (SSP) reported that “the case is being investigated by the PM Internal Affairs Department and by the aforementioned police officer’s battalion.”
