Dirty Harry on policing minority community

- Close to opening scene from Dirty Harry The Enforcer, after freeing hostages by "excessive use of force". This scene is immediately followed by Harry's first experience working in "personnel":
• Dirty Harry on feminis...
If this video "disappears" you'll find it here: odysee.com/$/invite/@thepointingfinger:d
The next scene is even better:
- "Dirty Harry on feminism and women's quotas": th-cam.com/video/9rcIJIWqYmo/w-d-xo.html
- Also, see this brilliant debunk of "racist police": th-cam.com/video/ioxWvjiB9YY/w-d-xo.html
Yes, the next scene is one of the very best of all the true “Harry Callahan” personality examples! Maybe my favorite!
The third scene after that was ten times better than the scene after this!
The police captain and other guy are completely right about Harry and his actions.

Millennials watch this movie thinking the captain is the hero.
Nah, ACAB.
Because he is. So many minorities are shot for being in the wrong place or wahtever. Cops aren't all wondeful.
MasterGhostf White people are too.
That has a lot of truth in it
@@MasterGhostf Thats just NOT TRUE and the FACTS prove the case. The is no solid evidence whatsoever that minorities are being targetted. That said in area with high crime rate more people are likely to get shot but its f*** all to do with race colour or creed its do do with excessive criminality in that area
Love the sound of the doors opening and closing in these old movies. Also the background sound of typewriters.
THATS FOR AHOLES!
They should have listened to Dirty Harry, look at San Fransisco now!
@daAnder71 it wil be the country of California soon enough,with a wall around it of course.

@Speed Two so rather than counter his argument, you point out misspelling and declare moral victory? What, are you from an early 2000s blog? Get a life marxist trash. Trump is STILL your president.
@Speed Two People like you declaring others to be "unfit voters" over a spelling mistake is the essence of why I will never vote for a left winger under the current political paradigm ever again. And this is coming from someone who used to take Jon Stewart's word as gospel truth.
1:56 - Clint's delivery of "yeah" is too epic. A cross between "oh shit" and "that explains it." This will never cease to cause me to laugh my ass off. Lol.

"EXACTLY!"
Naw, Harry shoulda said, "Case in point, REMF."

@@monsieurcondottiero2685 Yes! They do your paperwork, you leave, your promotions, your pay (along with finance), you ID cards (like the dmv), etc.
@@monsieurcondottiero2685It's basically HR - human resources - which is no small thing when it comes to recruitment, billeting, rotations, promotions, retirement planning, pay & benefits, etc etc. Harry says "that's for assholes" coz they're not down in the trenches looking for perps and arresting and shooting people or detective work or investigations, forensics, etc. Hey -- if it was an asshole job or a worthless job it wouldn't exist. So whatever -- they might not be collaring people and firing rounds but Harry wouldn't have had his job without them.
The downfall of San Fran began in the 70's just like this.
It began in the 60's, at least.

@@marcellisrobinson Unlike the sheep who bleat praises of Biden, the veggie.
"Personnel, that's for assholes." Possibly one of the greatest movie lines ever. This may have been the reason why the name was changed to Human Resources. It used to be such innocent fun to call up personnel at the weekend and leave this message on the answerphone. It was a nice treat on Monday morning when they checked their messages.
Stephen Spot On!
My dad is now retired, but when I was a kid i would hear him bitching to my mom about "Personnel." He thought they were assholes too.
Someone told me this years ago, and most time it is correct. People end up in "Human Resources" because they aren't butt ugly, and usually pleasant, have a degree, and are totally fucking incompetent at what they do. There is usually one or two people who are lower responsibility who gets all the works done.
The folks in charge are usually total morons. Most places it works like that.
sigma80 yup. Heads of training ditto
It was changed to "Human Resources" when people became interchangeable numerals... expendable and renewable from the chute out of the "Humans" Bin.
Management like this are one of the reason that cities are falling apart. They refuse to see the real crime for what it is. It's not sweet a pretty when someone gets shot or stabbed or raped. But they want it to be.

There have always been three kinds of government employee:
-The dipshits who rarely do their job and are busy politicking to climb the ladder at the expense of everyone and everything else, including the mission of whatever agency/department they work for. (Great example here is the captain who doesn’t want the police to do any police work because it’s bad for his career goals).
-the guy who puts in an hour worth of work in an eight hour work day, collects his pay and doesn’t care. (Not seen here, but visible at your local social service office or DMV).
-The true believer who is there to complete the mission to make the part of the world they are responsible for a better place. (As illustrated here by inspector Callahan)

Cities were booming until Trump let the virus take over. Also, there is more crime in rural areas due to the opiate epidemic. Crack isn't really a thing anymore.
Sometimes violence can only be dealt with from major force. You sometimes have to fight fire with fire.
@@nicholasdickens2801 Then burn down courthouses and the property of politicians, not black business owners (which is ironic, screaming for equality, well guess they got it in that regard), and screaming at the rest of the police force that is sent out to help keep the peace during protests/riots... screaming at them to make change, when they don't have the power to do so. Those in power to make the biggest, most meaningful change, is the politician to reform police, increase training variety/efforts/quality. However, even if the police were perfect, we still have the other side of the coin, if those who wish to play the victim card, don't look at consequences and make changes, then nothing will change. A revolving door if you will. I'm not saying the police are faultless, they're human and make mistakes (or are just bad people) but the left is also greatly ignoring that many who break the law, no matter their color of skin, had no good intentions when doing so, and got their 'just desserts" as it were.
@oldcorps76 With respect, that's bullshit. I lived 10 miles from Portland Oregon for 25 years, and trust me when I tell you that there is not ONE fucking Liberal in that shithole city that would vote for a peaceful Republican over a violent Democrat. Take what's going on with Mayor Wheeler right now......go tell his citizens that they have to pick between him and a Republican/Conservative candidate. He could literally hose people down in the street with a M60 machine gun and they would still vote for him.
If Ted Wheeler goes after ANTIFA tomorrow with all the police resources at his disposal, and tells his officers to do what needs to be done, even the most extremist Left-wing cocksuckers in that city will vote for him over a Conservative Republican candidate, any day of the week.
They aren't afraid of losing votes.....they are afraid of losing money.

@ed miller - You must work in Personnel.
I love the concept....Hey boys, Jerry from HR just made Captain. lol. wtf.
Was hilarious
When I first saw this I thought the captain was about to answer "yes that's why I am putting you there"
But HR guys aren't usually bright enough for that.
Over 50 years ago, and here we are. 1970s/80's a lot of vigilante movies came out and the audience loved them, because it tapped into their sentiment about crime in America and something needed to be done - unleash the law dawg to kick ass and take names.

Movies are wish fulfillment. It’s very entertaining, but it’s fiction. In the real world, people didn’t mind when cops shot violent criminals. They got fed up with some cops just shooting innocent people for no good reason.
There was nothing dirty about Harry, just a man with common sense and a firm grasp of realities. An example to us all.
Harry is the sort of cop Americans wanted in the seventies; totally above taking bribes, bending the rules if it means the public are safer and stopping very dangerous people.
He got his hands dirty by doing the work of policing rather than hiding in an office spouting PC jargon.
That's now all been replaced by PC crap.
Every dirty job that came along, they gave to Harry. That's how, he explained, he got the nickname.
Look at sf now. They actually did employ these policies and it’s a cesspool.
From what I've seen in many comment sections here on TH-cam, one of the main themes behind the Dirty Harry films that most people forgett is that every film portrays an extreme version of the binary political spectrum. In this film the "Far Left or Democratic ideology" is trying to overprotect the criminals by giving them rights they don't deserve under the crimes they commit, however in the next film when the police officers execute almost anyone on the street it is the "Far Right or Republican ideology" that is portrayed as the enemy.
-
In any case Harry Calahan was always in the middle, he NEVER supported the overprotection of criminals nor the murdering of people just because they could be suspects of something. Even in the end when Harry is betrayed by his boss at gun point, Harry firmly states that HE HATES THE SYSTEM but he would stick with it until something better comes, however he would NEVER go on the streets harrasing people without a reason.
-
On top of that he never had a problem with the genders, race or color of the officers in the force. In the scene where the Far Left officials want to push women into the active duty Calahan declares the obvious stupidity behind the idea, NOT because he didn't want women in the force but because they were FORCING inexperienced people just to reach a social quota.
-
Long story short, Calahan is NOT a savior of America nor a brutal enforcer, he is just a normal guy who is willing to work with anyone that has the guts and the experience to fill the requirements for the job, on top of that he is not the kind of people that would go on the street fucking around with the civilian population, hence, why his character is so liked, a Police Officer that ACTUALLY WORKS AS INTENDED, a fair man but with the guts to take any necesary risk to put down the criminals.
Thank you finally someone not using this movie as a soapbox to push politics
people watching movies are like people listening to politicians and saying "I want them to tell me the truth!" when all they actually want is to hear their own thoughts but from someone else's mouth
they see what they want to see
Very astute observation. I remember when this movie first came out, some people blasted the film, claiming it "glamorized" police brutality. Then, "Magnum Force" came out, as if in response to those claims.
@mo zack -- uphold the law .. -- I have issue with this , upholding the law sounds good in theory but in practice it's quite impossible to achieve . Laws get made by the Legislature and they are expected to be enforced but by the time a defendant goes to court the Judge or Judiciary ' interprets ' the Law - sometimes by the ' letter ' of the law and sometimes by the ' intent ' of the law and usually it's one way or the other not by both at once . This causes confusion intentionally ... The other issue I have with this kind of thinking is that the Laws themselves get changed or thrown out completely , so what was criminal yesterday is now legal today or what is legal today is criminal tomorrow . In order to ' uphold the Law ' the laws need to be consistent and all parts of the system needs to support those laws entirely . The system itself can only work properly when all parts of the system are in agreement , if 2 parts of the system are pro - something and 1 part is against then the system will fail . Seriously you could have all of the ' best ' legal intentions on the planet but there will always be someone who will willingly break the Law just to contest it court . There are lots of criminals even in the United States who have been made extremely wealthy by getting their convictions overturned and then suing to gain reparations for time served they have also written books about their crimes confessing everything they did even in areas of law such as Rape and Murder .
@@williamwaha3193 If you've seen the movies, it becomes clear that Harry violates the law several times, such as arresting and torturing a rapist without a warrant to do so, in order to reveal the location of a suffocating girl said rapist had kidnapped and planned to kill within the day. So while your point still stands with regards how to U.S. laws work and get passed, it does not dismiss or contest the fact that Harry does more than the law permits: he upholds what he believes is right and wrong, and does so in order to save lives. Whether or not his personal views, which at times seem higher than the legal laws the police are legally allowed to operate within, are justifiable or are instead dangerous acts of vigilantism is another topic. But Harry does not simply uphold the law-he upholds his own sense of right and wrong. "Letter of the law" be damned if it gets in the way of the job!
And nothing has changed in almost 50 years
Personnel comment is so damned accurate. Nine weeks to make a decision and it's always the wrong one. Must be the same everywhere.
This scene was made to mock 'progressive' leftist attitudes which is now considered good and acceptable

This is a fictional entertainment from 50 years ago. George Floyd was a citizen like you murdered on the street by a public servant. Which story suits your backward ideology?
When the captain told him he was in personnel for ten years Callahan should’ve said: “Of course you were”.

@@TheTruthiest Sanctimonious much?
I remember taking a management course and one the the main course books was " Personnel Manangment" . Believe it or not on the first page when it talked about " What is Personnel?", it quoted Harry's word to the "T" - " Personnel?, that for arseholes!".
We watched these movies and laughed at how idiotic the mayors and police leadership were......and here we have life imitating art. But the very worst of it.

@@newsdukeAnd the best part is the only reason we know cops are killing so many people unreasonably is because NOW everybody has a camera and a way to post it immediately.

@@newsduke Drugs choked that guy to death, not the cops.
He knew puttin him on Personnel was a punishment. He had a smug ass smirk on his face when he said it. He just didn't like it when Harry called him on it. It hit a little too close to home. 🤣

Now in 2021 Dirty Harry is more relevant than ever.
Agreed - a great example of why public trust in law enforcement, particularly in minority communities, has deteriorated so much.
🤦 You guys are stupid. This is a period piece, it's not relevant, it's NOT real, and it was only meant to be an action film, not a social commentary about police ethics. Violent crime was and still is very real, and sometimes the only way out of violence is with more violence. Simple as that.

My Father was a cop...he loved this scene. lets just say he didnt always see eye to eye with the Captains and Lieutenants either
One of my best friends was a cop in England and very good at his job, but one day a violent offender has to be arrested and the offender knocks out a policewoman. The policeman flattens the criminal, but nearly gets done for police brutality, even though the policewoman and the criminal's partner have been badly assaulted and the criminal has a long record. No wonder he left the force and found another job, seems the criminal has more rights than the victim.
Yeah, even Paul McCartney sang the lines, 'And so I quit the police department. And got myself a steady job'. 😂

"Personnel. That's for assholes." I cracked up when I saw this in the theater. 😊

"I'm not going to debate this with you inspector."
In other words, I refuse to acknowledge your view on this event, or have any intention of letting you change my mind to anything other than my preconceived interpretation of the facts. I am in charge, and you have to obey me. I am right, you are wrong, end of discussion.
Sounds a lot like modern U.S. Congress doesn't it? They will deny the problem and instead punish the victims. Actual justice would put them out of business.
Defending yourself from a mob potentially prepared to kill you on YOUR PROPERTY? Someone breaks into your house and you shoot first, ask questions later? Someone is chasing another person with a knife and you take the shot? Gun license revoked and charged for murder!
Sounds a lot like the entire government, as well as many, many useful idiots.
It's surprising Eastwood has never publicly commented on the current depravity in San Francisco's society and absurd politics.
HE usually don't comment on politics. Not that I know of. Can Only think of one time. That was the one where he was talking to the empty chair.
Got it. So all we got to do when we are confronted with a strong-arm robbery is yell, “Trick or treat?”
That's pretty much what Sacramento indeed recommends we do in 2020. Theyll be taking the cops' guns and giving them whistles and those lil wooden midget batons.
Call in one of those social workers that everyone is going on about.

The secret is to yell trick or treat AFTER you shoot them. It confuses low IQ thugs and you can get a couple more shots off.
@@JazenValencia you’re the reason they issue tasers and body cams.
The poisoning of the well began 50 years ago, and here we are, today. The process is almost complete.
And policing like the Captain wants is exactly how we've gotten to the era we're in now, with the 13% out of control, and even the merest suggestion that there be consequences or accountability for them considered the highest form of racism.
I had no idea how much Dirty Harry was a take on PC culture and a changing of the guard.
unlike current reality, Harry's "police brutality" is only directed at people who actually deserve it. Harry never rousted anyone who was innocent or unarmed or not posing a threat. i think some people miss that distinction.
All police brutality is directed at people who "actually deserve it" - in the eyes of the cops who do it.
@@Gilmaris In the eyes of the Law too.
Well considerin' the movies are centered around a system that doesn't abide law and order, anybody who actually intends to uphold law and order even if they ain't like Harry are branded "fascists", in fact the politicians who run the system are exactly those shitbirds I mentioned.
@@Gilmaris Note the quotation marks. Commenter was saying what Harry did wasn't brutality. The problem isn't people like Harry,it's people using unjustified force. And the other part of the problem is superiors not doing proper discipline as good leadership creates good workers.
Current reality? What reality? The vast majority of police use of force is justified. You only hear about the rare cases of abuse. And even half of those are overblown.
How many times do you hear about an innocent man, not resisting or causing trouble, getting beaten to death or shot? Out of the millions of police encounters every year... I can think of one in the past decade.
The Dirty Harry movies were movies that were preparing this country of ours for the future. A perfect scene showing management with no experience telling an experience grunt how to do his job. You have to ask....has quality and service suffered because of this??? Harry Callahan for president!!!
Secret Service agents can learn how to holster a gun from Dirty Harry.😂
"I was in personnel for 10 years" - Pretty much my last Commanding Officer in the Army. He too was an a**hole
If they hated America so much then why not go to Africa or any other country? ... If I hated a restaurant, I wouldn't go there...
this comment isnt as smart as you want to think
Good days when people spoke FACTS instead of PC lies.
That is what the movie was eluding to. Everybody saw the writing on the wall even back then.
Back before Hollyweird was complete brainwashing shit.
people with guts did!
You call them people, i call them actors in roles.
@@_Meng_Lan Toxic like beating up the moneylenders and running them out of the temple?
"I was in personnel for 10 years". Sounds like my last supervisor who only lasted a couple of years managing our field crew. Someone must have "educated" him because one day he just never showed up for work anymore.
Ironic how today San Francisco is one of the most crime stricken cities in America today…
Oh, the good 'ol days! We sure could use a Harry Callahan today! Thanks for posting this!
"To Personnel?! That's for assholes!"
"I was in Personnel for 10 years."
Thank you for making Callahan's point, Captain.
Never has so much truth and idiocy been shown in a film years before it all really got going.
Mugging in London really increased in the 80's and it was the same culprits as it is mainly today. But today it is way worse and today's so called Public Servant's attack the victims of their agenda, not the culprits. Starmer has now taken appeasement to a new level in Britain.
DIRTY HARRY IS EASILY ONE OF THE GREATEST FILM CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME
Honestly I watch these clips and he just comes off like a piece of shit with a stick up his ass who doesn't think theres any other way than his way.
@@Pandasrawk666: Yes. Most people don't get that he has that character flaw. In each of the better films, it costs a partner his life or career, but Harry learns... 'til the next film.
The conflict between his and his (I hate to use the word) superiors' view of reality was the substance of the films. Both were wrong. Reality was somewhere between the two.
But such deep philosophical conflict is what great films are made of.
film character, not clip character
I agree just based on these clips. Never even seen the whole film
@@elgatofelix8917 THE FILM IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE
The guy who plays the smarmy police chief nails it. Great acting.
Have no idea why TH-cam is recommending these videos. But I like it
Chief: Well McGarnagle Billy is dead!! Slid his throat from ear to ear.
McGarnagle: hey I'm trying to eat lunch here!!!
Chief: You busted up that crack house pretty bad McGarnagle. Did you *really* have to break so much furniture?
San Francisco needs Dirty Harry now more than ever.
You misspelled $an Fran$hitHole
When he is found in personnel the next day, he was seen having an argument with an empty chair
Every city needs 20 Dirty Harry's.
We need Harry now more than ever
San Francisco needs 1000 Harry Callahans right about now.
the planet needs 1000 harry's---or more!
I was a cop for 35 years thanks to Harry Callahan. My friends from the 70s all died from drug ODs or landed in prison then came out bums. Do the math. God bless Dirty Harry.
Never met a police officer that refers to themselves as a "cop". Interesting to hear someone use a derogatory term for themselves.
@@frauleinhohenzollern Its not a derogatory term. Historically it stands for Constable On Patrol. COP. Term used widely in Europe.
this kind of obvious lying is why these movies are still relevant.
@@bortsbymcbort5350 _"if I say he's lying, maybe no one will notice that I'm actually lying"_
Nice one, colombo.
So terrible long drug dealers fewer dead kids oh the humanity !
I guarantee you if Clint Eastwood ran for President he could probably unite America. The man garners respect, because he's truthful.
Lol he's also 90 years old. But I definitely agree with you!
@Ivan Ivan So?
@Ivan Ivan Lol agreed.
You guys have a thing for nearly dead people being president
He's 93 friggin' years old bruh. Biden's barely hit 80 and he's drooling and shitting his diaper. Much as I hate to say it, we need to make way for a slightly younger generation than Biden, Trump and Eastwood.
Love these Dirty Harry movies. He tells it like it is. No BS.
of course this is just a movie. But DH would never had cried out “ i was in fear of my life”. And the hoods DH took out were not lying on the ground already in handcuffs. He didn’t pull out a gun and shot someone just because he heard a loud bang. DH comes from another era. Men were different back then.
Yeah buddy the fictional character would have never yelled i was in fear of my life shut up loser lol
the point is the principle. A character like Harry would never say that out of principle, even if saying so covered his arse.
Men were men back then.
Lowered hireing standards have filled our police departments with unprofessional cowards and sadistic bullies.
Men in movies were different
"Personnel? That's for a**holes"... Priceless 🙂
Have seen all of the Dirty Harry films many times, but watching this clip on 9/18/23 is kind of shocking. The woke DEI bs has really been ramping up at work lately. This film was made 40? years ago. It is prophetic.
This clip isn't about policing minority communities. It is about
PERSONNEL
@@David-Kynaston I was an asshole for 10 years!!
And Seattle and Portland and New York. We need Dirty Harry back on the force, now.
Sadly, he was called "Dirty" Harry because he always got the shit end of the stick.
Wish Dirty Harry was in San Francisco today dealing with criminal scum.
It’s all about how it looks stylish etc today more than ever !!!!!😫
SF needs a dozen Harrys now
"Personnel?....That's for assholes"....The perfect description of all bureaucrats.
Criminals decide their behavior and consequences to their lives come with the territory
When I studied music at college we used to have a running joke based on this: “Big band? Big band’s for a**holes” 😂 I still love saying that line 🤣
HA! I went to jazz school and played guitar in the big band. There were definitely a few!
Here's a fun quote from director Don Siegel (for those casting Harry as a great hero) :
"I enjoy the controversy, because if you make a film that's safe, you're in trouble. I'm a liberal; I lean to the left. Clint is a conservative; he leans to the right. At no point in making the film did we ever talk politics. I don't make political movies. I was telling the story of a hard‐nosed cop and a dangerous killer. What my liberal friends did not grasp was that the cop is just as evil, in his way, as the sniper.”"
SF needs a Dirty Harry right about now.
Look where San Fransico is now.
“Personnel?! That’s for azzholes!”
((He dies inside))
“I was in personnel for 10 yrs.”
🤣🤣🤣
Can you imagine a police force full of Dirty Harry’s. It would be the safest city in the world.
Until the liberal pussies get rid of them because some piece of shit ghetto thug got his feelings hurt for actually getting punished for breaking the law. Not including all the acts of domestic terrorism the blacks commit after they dont get their way. A couple of gunships would stop the riots real quick.
So that is how Police Chiefs were made; they worked in personnel for ten years.
Promoted to the level of their own incompetence.
S B - Actually this is how a command structure works : There are ' ranks ' usually starting with 1 and proceeding to at least 9 . The lower the rank the less authority you have and the more manual labor you will be expected to perform . Within the ' structure ' itself there are ' occupational jobs ' . Any person of ' sufficient ' rank will have to perform ' administrative ' type duties while in their current rank before they can proceed to the next larger rank . ( Sometimes this means they will have to work ' outside ' of their normal occupational job as not all of these occupational jobs have an administrative position , some occupational jobs are administrative only positions depending on the host structure ). By the time you reach the top ranks of 7 through 9 you'll find these mostly are all Administrative type positions requiring no manual labor of any kind , there is a phrase for this achievement ," With rank comes privilege and usually responsibility " . There is also another phrase ," Crap rolls down hill " .
Maybe then... today’s “chiefs” don’t need sunscreen, bleed for 6 or 7 days out of the month without passing away, and make their bones in IA.
Police chiefs are made by not doing real police work but by ass kissing
They don't make these kind of movies anymore :(.
VenusOn Fire ....They can’t....Minorities would protest and burn the buildings down...
Brian L dawg shut up
Henry Films is deaf dumb and blind.....
This is Why he is unwilling to accept the FACTS regarding the reality of America today...
Brian L yeah and what facts are those- that you’re racist?
Mark Richards there is nothing inherently wrong with the black lives matter movement. if you’re upset with the looters, believe me i am too, however, with any large scale protests like these, there are going to be people exploiting it. if you’re mad about them tearing statues down, you shouldn’t be. almost every confederate monument you see in the south weren’t put up during the civil war, they were put there in the 50s as a protest to integration. look at it from the perspective of a african american, having to walk by statues and flags with racist origins every day, having to watch the cycle of poverty in your community continue, people you know and care about shot. you’d get sick of it and want change.
"I was in personnel for 10 years."
So Callahan was right.
If most of the crimes are being committed in one specific neighborhood, one would expect increased patrols in that neighborhood. And the people in said neighborhood would be expected to make up a majority of arrests. 13/50 rule.
So these problems were always there, even back during the 70s. But back then, you could make the occasional movie showing the crime-fighter's point of view. Nowadays, you're not even allowed to use phrases like "fighting crime", because then you're seen as insensitive.
Not allowed to? Is it illegal? Who is stopping you using that kind of phrase? I still read that expression quite often, so it looks like you're lying. But keep taking this film whose "moral position is fascist" (in the view of a respected film critic) as some kind of blueprint.
@@mattcast44 Dirty Harry was an anti-hero. The film isn't necessarily embracing his point of view, because it doesn't hold him up as some paragon of perfection, but is able to use him as a contrast foil in making social commentary about various issues.
You do realize that basically ALL cop movies are from the "crime fighter's perspective"?
And the means they show (violent interrogation, unlawful seizures, no use of warrants, etc.) are the kinds of things criminals would walk away scott free in the real world.
It's a movie. It's fantasy and makebelieve.
Anyone trying to equate reality to anything Hollywood has ever produced (maybe outside of WWII training films, and even then most are blatant propaganda), is looking in the wrong place.
@@whitescar2 I'm saying that's not how it is anymore today -- what has always been normal for a long time, is suddenly scorned today.
@@manofsan I don't think it's "suddenly" scorned. It's been a slow boil. As long as I can recall (some 20+ years) police in the US have been talked to be trigger happy and violent.
And worst of all, not even for some understandable reason like corruption or demanding payments, but just violent and dangerous. Especially so if you're a POC, or just happen to do the wrong move.
It's just that those tones have finally broken into the mainstream. It's far from sudden, though.
