The opposite actually, left up to him, this relationship will last forever while women and children get raped, robbed and murdered. We need hundreds of brutal cops to come in the city with one thing on their minds... no drugs. Get rid of the drugs, get the people back up on their feet. I give it 4 months.
Captain Obvious I met him today because he came to our school and had a talk with us. He spoke of all of the people who spoke down on him and talked about how one bad move could get us on skid row. It was very motivational and he is an amazing man. Much love for him.
NOW, this is a policeman. This guy has CLASS, and is a good idea of the perfect policeman, and we would be proud if he was part our community, in fact this officer should be teaching courses to other policeman, and he needs a promotion.
Jaime Alonzo That’s not true. Maybe based on your experience, cops have been jerks. But you can’t most cops are that way. The only way you could make that statement is if you met every cop out there. It’s impossible.
@Jaime Alonzo Yes exactly, who is to guarantee me u are not one of those secretly wishing to be in that position huh? FKn think u better than me or what then? The people who have the most to say how or if a government shd or shd not exist are the last ones id give power over others.
@Jaime Alonzo Arrogant morons? Law Enforcement officers were trained to be your so called "jerks" because they need to make sure that people will follow the law and not start a ruckus of profiling and the "My rights are being tampered by a person in uniform." type of scenario. If you want tp learn more on law enforcement Im glad to answer a few.
This cat put himself on street level. You can see at the end, he legit likes the challenge and respect and process that he gets from facing that beat 5 times a week.
Some of us know that virtue is it's own reward. And we are the happiest MOTHERFUCKERS on the planet. I can't ASK you to put your life on the line for me, I can only put my own life on the line BECAUSE I'M A GOOD MAN.
My policy. If you're being arrested, your punishment is not to be treated poorly by police officers. The punishment is your loss of liberty, and then whatever punishment is given by a judge. I try to treat my custodies with respect, and in general they treat me with respect. The whole process is then done quickly and fairly. It makes everyone's life easier.
As a police officer this is how I act and it's how we all need to act in my opinion. It probably has to do with me growing up poor and having addicts in my family I got to grow up and see that's what not to do, im not afraid of it. This officer in the video i can tell he's not afraid of it and people pick up on that. it's super stressful but best job in the world. I love helping people especially in the city I grew up in.
@@wildlight9111 I dont know about being lucky to meet him, but talking with this Black man and his knowledge about Black history and his faith and how he feels and deal with racism in the police department was very interesting to hear..
What a solid man! He doesn’t judge people by the way they look. They know the struggles and the way of the streets. Harassing or arresting them isn’t helping anything but putting more people in the system.
i bet legalization or decriminalization which is actually better than legalizing it so people can make profit off of it, would help a lot of these people get off the street and into a job and a more stable life.

That’s awesome! Maybe it would be a good idea to change your profile pic to people like him instead of Lebron James who, is no doubt a great athlete, but doesn’t work directly with or help people on the streets like this officer does. Just a thought...
Now do something thats really "FELONIOUS LIFE THREATNING STUPID" & see how quick he does his job while he aims at you. UC being a decent cop, kindness can be very limited & on any potentially life & death situation & on ANY st in america, be it in beverly hills or in a skid row community. & please don't forget, that they are trained to kill you no matter how nice they may seem at the moment.
@Terrill Nope! He doesn’t want an award. What this cop want is more of his colleagues to help him extend the empathies to the crestfallen transients & vagrants; and more safety nets & recovery centers.
LMFAO... 100’s maybe.... a good cop is rare or there wouldn’t be such a negative outlook on law enforcement. what surprises me it’s usually the white cops that give a bad rep.. you don’t see much asian or black cops whooping ass...
White people are taught from school in history they are the great conquerers thus they are the parents or the rulers of all self righteous some can't help what they have been taught since childhood. Only a true righteous man of GOD can rise above this satanic force of hatred

What difference? When he arrests the criminals preying on those people, the "justice system" turns them loose to prey on them again in a few hours. Impossible to make a difference under those circumstances, no matter how good an individual officer is.
@@idahorx1 There is a way to make a difference, they just aren't allowed to anymore. Back in the day, people misbehaving would get a beatdown and then they'd get kicked loose with some new-found perspective. These days, it's just jail for a day before being released to go back and do it again.
As an LA native, thank you for this. This is the real, ugly side of LA. The side that all of these influencers and media outlets don’t want you to see. The city of angels needs help
@Shawn Webb The media , and police Union prefer a White face. Most of Amerikkka does. Also those who seek attention for their good deeds are doing it for personal gain also, not just for goodness. The bible speaks against those who seek attention, and praise for helping the needy.
I can't believe a guy with this intellect and personality on a street like this for work. He should be so higher up teaching this behaviour in the police force, clearly he has a brilliant demeanor
What a beautiful Angel. Mayor Garcetti you better give this officer a medal for what he is doing. He is doing God’s work. Skid Row is such a sad and desperate place. Bless him and all that he does.
Mark Hunter . Well he's (God) not blessing the folk on the streets........ I know I know, he works in mysterious ways. Mysterious??? Cruel if you ask me.
Eric Moir you need to study up on God before you criticize , God made his first attempt at a perfect world once and it was ruined by sin , we are now paying for that sin , ask for forgiveness and sin no more and you too can make it to heaven , this cop shows that he is working on his path to heaven
Ummm.... Yeah. Ok. You see; it's because I study up on the scriptures is the reason I so don't want any of it. I'm a realist. So what your saying though is, screw this life because we've sined and hurry up and die just to get to the better one where we are forgiven? Thank god I'm an Atheist.
God is what you want him to be. Just be nice to people and love your family. fuck scripture. I would rather believe in books that start with once upon a time and end with The End.
Albert De Castro I haven’t really had any runs with the police but I watch enough live PD to see that they are all not this caring no matter what unfortunately.
How can a corporation care? A corporation is an entity.and besides that, I don't think it's the job of corporations to save the world. They have a duty to their stockholders to make money for them. And you can't save people who don't want to save themselves. I know this from my own experience. They will bring you down with them
This officer needs to train other officers in our country! He's one of a very few that is professional and knows how to do his job without abusing his authority.
@@theoriginal668 I'm guessing it is SKID ROW after all. I'm sure the officer when he first showed up to COMMUNITY POLICE, which is how most offers should work as it builds TRUST and help REBUILD COMMUNITIES. See Tommy Norman in Arkansas as another fine example like this cop instagram.com/tnorman23?igshid=zpjmsyljsdxf We got to stop this divided rhetoric, mainly coming from the EXTREMIST FAR LEFT and EXTREMIST FAR RIGHT. I just learned the other day about how DOGS ARE RACIST AND A SYMBOL OF WHITE SUPREMACY!! I thought it was a joke at first, but it's not. See Tim Pool, who is a DEMOCRAT, explain how people come to these conclusions th-cam.com/video/9SDlp_1ULZ0/w-d-xo.html We are....AMERICANS first and foremost, and yes racism exists on all sides, sorry to say. We need to listen out opposing viewpoints and challenge them, both right and left, if we want to get things resolved. If the current PROGRESSIVE LEFT continues their rhetoric, then you'll most likely see Trump in officer for another 5 and 1/2 years. And while the Bernie train is the front runner, and with me being a moderate that believes in social classic liberalism (not EXTREME FAR LEFT PROGRESSIVE LIBERALISM) and economic conservatism, I would much rather see someone like Tulsi Gabbard be the Democratic Nominee. It's a far shot for her, as Bernie is taking in the "cultural Marxists" and the extreme far left in large numbers, and the Dems will take in anyone to beat Trump, I just dont think hes close to some of the decent Democratic runners such as Tulsi. Ultimately, I believe if the dems want to continue with Bernie and the rhetoric of the far left, as I said Trumo will most likely be in office for another 5 and 1/2 years. If it came down to Bernie or Trump, I hate to say it but I will probably vote for Trump or as I did last time in the Libertarian nominee. Another thing I want to add since both parties have skewed so far from their original values, we need more party nominees at the Presidential debate, but our 2 party system wants to keep it as is from...scared of the American people seeing more than just the Dems/Republicans. Feel free to respond if you want to discuss.
+breighton2885 bisbane the only thing that video made me NOT want to be is someone high off of narcotics that was speeding over 100 mph on surface streets that later resisted arrest :)
There was another Senior Lead Officer named Willie Carter from the same Downtown Division that was just like Deon Joseph. Unfortunately he retired around 2012.
+ I'm That Fly Guy My point was out of all the LAPD officers I had contact with those 2 were the most professional & treated me with respect before and after my arrests.
That's one good cop I was a homeless veteran I have seen all that first-hand I chose San Diego and he's right being out there you can have the will to stay sober but the suffering is so great you will absolutely use again thank you for your service🇺🇸⚔❤
uvafan4life2 . Angel? Hmmm. These Angels don't carry much punch then like the good (?) book says they do. Why send a powerless Angel down to earth? What's the point or objective.........?
Officer Deon Joseph is a true hero... I, myself, have been down to Skid Row w/ my church to feed and clothed the people on numerous occasions. I'm aware of the conditions of Skid Row and have been praying for the population.. so to see that God has people like Deon Joseph patrolling Skid Row, helping the community, saving lives; that is truly a blessing to see. Hopefully, I can meet Joseph, some day. But in all honesty, I thank God I came across the clip. The world needs more people like him.
I've been looking for an outlet for officer DN this man has a beautiful soul he's a gift from God God bless this man God bless this country God bless the work that he does
Wow just wow! This officer has a huge heart and the love he has for these poeple is amazing. I wish there were more of him in LA or any other city dealing with homelessness.
we need to stop voting for TRAITOROUS politicians that have ABANDONED THESE PEOPLE to starvation, disease and madness. End the DEMONCRAT PARTY for GOOD.
Agreed that this cop is doing a good job. But, when California politicians spend $29 BILLION, EACH YEAR, on illegals, then that's $29 billion that could be spent building a TON of affordable housing units (and other valuable services) for AMERICAN CITIZENS. And now that Cali is a "sanctuary state" that $29 billion will only increase. It's a crying shame that scumbag politicians allow this to happen, but until the citizens of Cali wake up and vote those politicians out--and vote in politicians committed to HELPING AMERICANS--then it's going to continue to be the same sorry status quo. And to add insult to injury, Los Angeles decides to raise taxes to address the homeless problem?! Are you fucking kidding me?! I'm telling you, so long as you have a bunch of bleeding-heart politicians that won't put Americans before illegals, then ultimately the citizens who are the suckers. WAKE UP!
Dear my black brother. You’re doing a premium job and representing the Law with integrity. Excellent. God loves you too. Without Officers with integrity , society is exploited. Peace Love
Yeah because he is doing such a great job cleaning up the streets. He can glad hand with these nimrods all he wants but his city still looks like Mogadishu.
He is an outstanding special man & police officer. I have so much respect, admiration & thanks for everything he does. I wish this video was mandatory for every individual in the police academy to see before graduation.
Jeffrey Everette I agree with you Jeffrey my father was a policeman and Detective for 22 years auntie treated everybody with respect anyone that wants to play the race card they are immature and they need to let things go and go forward instead of living in the past they are ignorant
I feel sorry for him to be honest, he clearly wants to help, he wants to change these peoples' lives, and he's happy to do it himself if necessary. But you can tell from the things he says, and the tone he uses, he's not hopeful. He's patrolled this area for 20 years and seen no change. That must be incredbly demoralising.
Far from it, I think he’s living a rich and fulfilling life. He’s never going to solve all the problems but he’s a massively positive force helping people the way he wants to and that’s all that matters. You are the one despairing.
el f1del that make you mad? You realize America has more people in prison then any nation with more laws then any nation coupled with a for profit prison system?
One of the most gentle hearted people I’ve seen in a long time! This officer proves this is his passion, not his job. I pray for his safety & that God continues to cover him in the blood of Jesus while he’s out patrolling on Skid Row
How can you say "not anymore?" Most cops are still good people. It's just the criminal black community who's trying to paint a negative picture of law enforcement. The whole country is starting to see through that though. Sure there have been bad cops. There have been bad everything. The majority of police are good. The solution is this; if a person doesn't like bad cops then that person should not put themself in situations that involve police. Sooner or later a person might have a "bad cop" respond to the call.
This piece and the people within bring me closer to humanity. Thank you for sharing and showing this with me and others. Props to this Officer and the work he's been doing in one of the darkest and scariest parts of our existence.
This guy is a legend. Arresting these people isn’t going to change their habits. Loving on them and building relationships will. Broken people need people to love on them.
Officer Joseph is such a kind man…the people of the street really respect him. I love that the sweet lady trusted him enough to introduce the new resident to him.
But your not street wise- I've interacted with cops like him- camera off different story- he'd turn streets back on u if crossed- corrupt with badge- YT commenters r so gullible- y u think they acting so nice to him- 18 years & he relishes that shit hole- it ain't adding up
I was a city manager and the vast majority of the officers that I worked with were similar to Officer Joseph here.. wonderful, caring, smart and professional. Amen to that! Thank you to these men and women who are attempting to save our cities. In my view many politicians come in with very positive intentions but get sucked into the vortex of a party agenda. Common sense and intelligence often are sacrificed in favor of group think and the desire to remain in office. This officer is truly a saint and a hero in my eyes. Frank
Well, I wish that more city personnel would be serious about creating affordable housing in Los Angeles and other counties!! Besides obvious mental health and drug issues, housing is too expensive,even for working class people. Billions are being wasted or stolen,which was set aside to build affordable housing for homeless people.
Wow. Tough job that he puts himself in. The courage it takes to go there everyday and put yourself in danger and try to make a difference. He is a true gentleman. He is hero without a cape. God Bless him and protect him.
We need more cops like him. He's obviously a good man trying to help people.
He’s obviously a good man who has gained their respect.

@Shawn Webb The media , and police Union prefer a White face. Most of Amerikkka does. Also those who seek attention for their good deeds are doing it for personal gain also, not just for goodness. The bible speaks against those who seek attention, and praise for helping the needy.
S O this must be your p.r. stunt your a person who walks with no faith a souless germ never speak again..
I can't believe a guy with this intellect and personality on a street like this for work. He should be so higher up teaching this behaviour in the police force, clearly he has a brilliant demeanor

What a beautiful Angel. Mayor Garcetti you better give this officer a medal for what he is doing. He is doing God’s work. Skid Row is such a sad and desperate place. Bless him and all that he does.
Whos god?
@@kensims4086 the one who made the world.
That cop is a good man. He has heart.
Thats a good officer God bless him
camera it's CAMERA
if your going to speak our language please dont butcher it. We have enough illegals over here that dont even speak english.
Mark Hunter . Well he's (God) not blessing the folk on the streets........ I know I know, he works in mysterious ways. Mysterious??? Cruel if you ask me.
Eric Moir you need to study up on God before you criticize , God made his first attempt at a perfect world once and it was ruined by sin , we are now paying for that sin , ask for forgiveness and sin no more and you too can make it to heaven , this cop shows that he is working on his path to heaven
Ummm.... Yeah. Ok. You see; it's because I study up on the scriptures is the reason I so don't want any of it. I'm a realist. So what your saying though is, screw this life because we've sined and hurry up and die just to get to the better one where we are forgiven? Thank god I'm an Atheist.
God is what you want him to be. Just be nice to people and love your family. fuck scripture. I would rather believe in books that start with once upon a time and end with The End.
dude is a shining light of sanity in a dark lost world.
You can tell he is a very intelligent, caring, and all around stand up guy. Officers take notes.
About every officer I've ever met has been perfectly reasonable. Be respectful to authority and you'll go a long way.
Albert De Castro I haven’t really had any runs with the police but I watch enough live PD to see that they are all not this caring no matter what unfortunately.
Joseph Smith ok lol are you saying the officers on tv are fake?
@@haleyrowe1394 The officers on live PD are told to act more dramatically.
There are many types of intelligence.
This man shows a wealth of HEART intelligence. That leads to Wisdom.
This is a great cop. You can tell he has compassion for people and respect for the law. He knows his stuff and isn’t out for his ego. Good job!
A rare kind of human being. Imagine if most politicians are like him. Imagine if giant corporations care like he does.
How can a corporation care? A corporation is an entity.and besides that, I don't think it's the job of corporations to save the world. They have a duty to their stockholders to make money for them. And you can't save people who don't want to save themselves. I know this from my own experience. They will bring you down with them
This officer is amazing he’s a good ass dude we need more cops like this dude
This totally choked me up...this guy is amazing, what a great testament for the job police officers do
I worked as an advocate at LAPD central and I always loved walking into officer Deon. What a great dude!
What a truly fantastic human being that man is
This officer needs to train other officers in our country! He's one of a very few that is professional and knows how to do his job without abusing his authority.
Communication is key to everything.
The lady is so scared lmao
Pearnut who wouldn’t be scared on skid row? Crazy crackheads could stab you with a dirty needle and boom you got aids
Typical white woman.
@@theoriginal668 I'm guessing it is SKID ROW after all. I'm sure the officer when he first showed up to COMMUNITY POLICE, which is how most offers should work as it builds TRUST and help REBUILD COMMUNITIES. See Tommy Norman in Arkansas as another fine example like this cop instagram.com/tnorman23?igshid=zpjmsyljsdxf
We got to stop this divided rhetoric, mainly coming from the EXTREMIST FAR LEFT and EXTREMIST FAR RIGHT.
I just learned the other day about how DOGS ARE RACIST AND A SYMBOL OF WHITE SUPREMACY!! I thought it was a joke at first, but it's not. See Tim Pool, who is a DEMOCRAT, explain how people come to these conclusions th-cam.com/video/9SDlp_1ULZ0/w-d-xo.html
We are....AMERICANS first and foremost, and yes racism exists on all sides, sorry to say. We need to listen out opposing viewpoints and challenge them, both right and left, if we want to get things resolved. If the current PROGRESSIVE LEFT continues their rhetoric, then you'll most likely see Trump in officer for another 5 and 1/2 years.
And while the Bernie train is the front runner, and with me being a moderate that believes in social classic liberalism (not EXTREME FAR LEFT PROGRESSIVE LIBERALISM) and economic conservatism, I would much rather see someone like Tulsi Gabbard be the Democratic Nominee. It's a far shot for her, as Bernie is taking in the "cultural Marxists" and the extreme far left in large numbers, and the Dems will take in anyone to beat Trump, I just dont think hes close to some of the decent Democratic runners such as Tulsi. Ultimately, I believe if the dems want to continue with Bernie and the rhetoric of the far left, as I said Trumo will most likely be in office for another 5 and 1/2 years. If it came down to Bernie or Trump, I hate to say it but I will probably vote for Trump or as I did last time in the Libertarian nominee.
Another thing I want to add since both parties have skewed so far from their original values, we need more party nominees at the Presidential debate, but our 2 party system wants to keep it as is from...scared of the American people seeing more than just the Dems/Republicans.
Feel free to respond if you want to discuss.

Most definitely not your average beat cop. He’s a senior officer. Unfortunately not all cops are of this caliber.
There was another Senior Lead Officer named Willie Carter from the same Downtown Division that was just like Deon Joseph. Unfortunately he retired around 2012.

She could not be any cuter!
Officer Joseph is a true angel on earth
uvafan4life2 . Angel? Hmmm. These Angels don't carry much punch then like the good (?) book says they do. Why send a powerless Angel down to earth? What's the point or objective.........?
Dude seems like a real one. We need more of you man.
“She overdosed 6 times after that and never got off skid row”
Interviewer: 😄😄😄
Officer Deon Joseph is a true hero... I, myself, have been down to Skid Row w/ my church to feed and clothed the people on numerous occasions. I'm aware of the conditions of Skid Row and have been praying for the population.. so to see that God has people like Deon Joseph patrolling Skid Row, helping the community, saving lives; that is truly a blessing to see. Hopefully, I can meet Joseph, some day. But in all honesty, I thank God I came across the clip. The world needs more people like him.
JustPierre I wish I could help. glad u did that for them.
cop shoots innocent man views 2m+ this guy is down to earth and a nice cop 6700
because we want to see whats important u stupid
Thank god liberals are there so you don't have to rub two brain cells together.
this video has blew up since you made that comment thank god
Everyone is an armchair QB nowadays. The media has turned the world into a soap opera...ratings and shock value sell.
Dean Jax perhaps you should educate yourself and actually take a look at the DOJ stats of your chances of having a violent encounter with a officer
Respect to you sir. Definitely we are in need of more police officers like you...God Bless.
I've been looking for an outlet for officer DN this man has a beautiful soul he's a gift from God God bless this man God bless this country God bless the work that he does
Wow just wow! This officer has a huge heart and the love he has for these poeple is amazing. I wish there were more of him in LA or any other city dealing with homelessness.
He’s a good man need more people like officer joe
we need to stop voting for TRAITOROUS politicians that have ABANDONED THESE PEOPLE to starvation, disease and madness.
End the DEMONCRAT PARTY for GOOD.
We need more people like Officer Joseph!

When you fall through the cracks , there is always an Angel available for you . No matter who you are.

He does. Luke Cage babyyyyyy
“Skidrow vs Badass Cop”
THAT IS WHAT A POLICE OFFICER IS SUPPOSED TO DO. this should be the job training vid 😂
He is on good behavior.... on camera.
Agreed that this cop is doing a good job. But, when California politicians spend $29 BILLION, EACH YEAR, on illegals, then that's $29 billion that could be spent building a TON of affordable housing units (and other valuable services) for AMERICAN CITIZENS. And now that Cali is a "sanctuary state" that $29 billion will only increase. It's a crying shame that scumbag politicians allow this to happen, but until the citizens of Cali wake up and vote those politicians out--and vote in politicians committed to HELPING AMERICANS--then it's going to continue to be the same sorry status quo.
And to add insult to injury, Los Angeles decides to raise taxes to address the homeless problem?! Are you fucking kidding me?! I'm telling you, so long as you have a bunch of bleeding-heart politicians that won't put Americans before illegals, then ultimately the citizens who are the suckers. WAKE UP!
Impressive officer knows his job and very knowledgeable about the people and area he's working.
@Mike W Not quite.
Too bad he has to work for the people who run that city
what a great cop. i'm glad i saw this i hope he's doing well.
@ Ohhh spoken like a true idiot.
Hats off to this amazing officer! They're blessed to have him. Imagine America if all cops had his heart!!!!
Dear my black brother. You’re doing a premium job and representing the Law with integrity. Excellent. God loves you too. Without Officers with integrity , society is exploited. Peace Love
Can we clone that officer and put a million of them on the streets? what an inspiring guy. THANK YOU for your service officer Joseph
Yeah because he is doing such a great job cleaning up the streets. He can glad hand with these nimrods all he wants but his city still looks like Mogadishu.

What a great man. Massive respect. Thanks for recommending this to me, TH-cam.
He is an outstanding special man & police officer. I have so much respect, admiration & thanks for everything he does. I wish this video was mandatory for every individual in the police academy to see before graduation.
This is what policing should look like. Need more cops like him.
Jeffrey Everette I agree with you Jeffrey my father was a policeman and Detective for 22 years auntie treated everybody with respect anyone that wants to play the race card they are immature and they need to let things go and go forward instead of living in the past they are ignorant

Damn! Now that is a fine example of a “Peace Officer”. I wish we had more men and women serving our communities that were like that!!
What a good and pure heart he has. Its incredible after that many years his heart has not hardened, and he hasn't lost his optimism.
We all need more people like you,bro thanks. (I came hereto save lives,not to watch people die).God bless you,man.
He is what an officer should be! Good Man!
This the most wholesome police officer I’ve ever laid eyes on. God bless his soul
Much respect sir. Thank you for your brave service
A true hero. He defines integrity. I visited skid row in 2014 and the people were cool as hell! God bless you all.
I feel sorry for him to be honest, he clearly wants to help, he wants to change these peoples' lives, and he's happy to do it himself if necessary. But you can tell from the things he says, and the tone he uses, he's not hopeful. He's patrolled this area for 20 years and seen no change. That must be incredbly demoralising.
You can't help stupid....this is just maintenance.
Far from it, I think he’s living a rich and fulfilling life. He’s never going to solve all the problems but he’s a massively positive force helping people the way he wants to and that’s all that matters. You are the one despairing.
I think he wants it fucked up because it gives him a job
oh stfu jake
el f1del that make you mad? You realize America has more people in prison then any nation with more laws then any nation coupled with a for profit prison system?
I've walked skid row at night all alone. Crazy place
He's a good guy straight up - need more people like this in our country.
One of the most gentle hearted people I’ve seen in a long time! This officer proves this is his passion, not his job. I pray for his safety & that God continues to cover him in the blood of Jesus while he’s out patrolling on Skid Row
Amen my brother. He clearly knows the Lord’s will for his life. Wish ALL law enforcement had his passions. Be blessed.
What an amazing cop. You can tell he truly cares for the community.
That's probably the most honest, caring cop I've ever seen.. used to be - "To serve & protect".. not anymore.. this is refreshing
"we're in a public space"
Lmao suddenly that's illegal when you try to film the pigs
How can you say "not anymore?" Most cops are still good people. It's just the criminal black community who's trying to paint a negative picture of law enforcement. The whole country is starting to see through that though. Sure there have been bad cops. There have been bad everything. The majority of police are good. The solution is this; if a person doesn't like bad cops then that person should not put themself in situations that involve police. Sooner or later a person might have a "bad cop" respond to the call.
It still is, the media has you fooled to believe otherwise
This piece and the people within bring me closer to humanity. Thank you for sharing and showing this with me and others. Props to this Officer and the work he's been doing in one of the darkest and scariest parts of our existence.
This is not only a good cop he is a good Man, he has my respect!
worst job ever but also one of the most important
He's a walking target as well, Titan. And I highly doubt it's stress free.
Did you fully read his comment?
Definitely not the worst job. Not even close. Steady paycheck and retirement.
Name one job that's stress free@@damienholland8103
TheEnd Cop hating liberal. Will you call the "pigs" when you get shot at or if you overdose on soy?
This guy is a legend. Arresting these people isn’t going to change their habits. Loving on them and building relationships will. Broken people need people to love on them.
Officer Joseph is such a kind man…the people of the street really respect him. I love that the sweet lady trusted him enough to introduce the new resident to him.
This officer is very street-wise; I can tell from his vernacular. I respect that. lol
But your not street wise- I've interacted with cops like him- camera off different story- he'd turn streets back on u if crossed- corrupt with badge- YT commenters r so gullible- y u think they acting so nice to him- 18 years & he relishes that shit hole- it ain't adding up
SouLitaFire he doesn’t relish it he sees the potential in it and wants to save it
@@soulitafire2445 What have you done to help people or make a difference other than run your mouth?
I was a city manager and the vast majority of the officers that I worked with were similar to Officer Joseph here.. wonderful, caring, smart and professional. Amen to that! Thank you to these men and women who are attempting to save our cities. In my view many politicians come in with very positive intentions but get sucked into the vortex of a party agenda. Common sense and intelligence often are sacrificed in favor of group think and the desire to remain in office. This officer is truly a saint and a hero in my eyes.
Frank
Well, I wish that more city personnel would be serious about creating affordable housing in Los Angeles and other counties!! Besides obvious mental health and drug issues, housing is too expensive,even for working class people. Billions are being wasted or stolen,which was set aside to build affordable housing for homeless people.
