Sargento Getúlio e outros sargentos: matar e morrer entre policiais militares em Salvador

Abstract

O presente trabalho trata do tema morte que tem pairado sobre a atividade policial e ganhou notoriedade nas últimas três décadas. Para as ciências sociais, ainda há uma grande lacuna no campo de estudo sobre a morte. Em um inevitável campo de batalha, o uso da força letal por parte dos policiais militares e as mortes violentas destes mesmos profissionais se tornam tão banais que precisavam ser estudadas sobre o prisma que vá além da racionalidade e do pragmatismo. A concepção que o policial militar tem acerca da morte tem sido estruturada nos duros conflitos diários, bem como provoca um efeito devastador na relação que estes tem como os seus contendores na violência urbana em Salvador. Os discursos dos policiais militares denotam uma sensação de falta de reconhecimento da sociedade acerca dos esforços envidados para manutenção da paz pública, tendo em vista que muitas ações policiais condenadas, até pelo próprio comando da corporação, não levam em consideração as contingências da atividade. O limite da legalidade tem norteada a ação policial no âmbito uso da força letal, por isso, as questões de ordem ética são posta de lado quando é possível a justificação legal da morte do oponente. A intolerância dos policiais segue movida por uma ação política, exige respostas imediatas aos clamores sociais por segurança, sem que outros fatores de desajustes das condições de em comunidade sejam minorados. Ciente dos limites dos discursos, o romance “Sargento Getúlio”, escrito por João Ubaldo Ribeiro, traz, em meio a violência, elementos culturais, ideológicos e emocionais compondo um cenário que transcende o tempo e espaço na atividade policial militar no Brasil. Muito além da simples condenação da violência policial, o romance se integra a investigação através da compreensão de virtude ostentada pelo personagem Getúlio, em consonância com o próprio sentimento dos policiais informantes.
