Last year in Brazil a rich right wing white man opened fire on the federal police and even threw grenades at them.

Here's a picture of him talking to the police after the shooting (he's the old guy on the left): https://www.cnnbrasil.com.br/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2022/10/ED_VIS_241022_IL_PF_JEFFERSON_frame_935.jpeg?w=876&h=484&crop=1

I wonder what would have happened to him if he was a poor black man.

More specifically, he was part of the fascist group supporting the coup at the time.

To be clear, he still supports it.

ACAB still checks out outside the USA as well. Police are trained to only defend the bourgeoisie whose boots they lick clean every day.
