Thanks for watching! Consider supporting the channel by becoming a patron: www.patreon.com/skipintro Is PAW Patrol grooming children to embrace a neoliberal police surveillance state? Or is it just a dumb kids show? Or...maybe...both??
At least kids will also grow up knowing that trauma and mental healthy in boys is valid and ok, and that boys everywhere should know that they're not worthless, and that they have so much to give just because. And that it's totally worth it for 10 year olds to risk their lives trying to save corrupt politicians from buildings about to collapse, and that cats are evil incarnate.
Fun fact about Chase ignoring his allergies and never taking them seriously, a friend of mine who works at a daycare has had to repeatedly explain to a kid who goes into anaphylactic shock from his allergies that no, allergies aren't like on TV, you need to actually do something. Tell an adult, take your medicine, etc. "But Chase doesn't do that and he's okay!" Ugh. So we can add "might actually get kids killed via complications from allergies" to this show's long list of faults.
@@katelynbrown98 its not lame when the kid clearly looks up to chase as a role model. did you even watch the video????? its a problem in the same way that the show glorifying the police force is a problem.
Actually, the PAW Patrol has an online allergy worksheet that says "Chase has to take medicine for his allergies sometimes" and the worksheet encourages parents and kids to learn about allergies and how to safely handle them. The problem is kids anthropomorphize themselves as if "I like Chase, so I am Chase" even though the kid knows they are not a dog. But when a child believes they can be a character because they like them, certain things like allergy medicine doesn't even come to mind because they don't see the character do things like allergy medicine. The kids need to be explained those things. It is not the show's responsibility to educate kids on every little thing. It is designed to educate on certain basic social skills. Is it sad the people making the show don't try to educate kids on stuff like allergy medicine? Yes. But if they have certain topics to teach, that is their priority as companies making the show. The show does later on have the boy Ryder give Chase a "hypo allergy" helmet to help the pup stop sneezing around cats when on his motorbike, but it's treated as a "simple solution" at best instead of a more realistic solution. However, I do credit them with the allergy worksheet. That is better than nothing.
The best Police representation in a kids show was in Arthur’s series finale when all the kids grew up and got real jobs. While all the others grew up to be writers and doctors and all that, DW became a cop. She even relentless wrote one of her “friends” a ticket when when simply stopped in a loading zone. They knew exactly what they were doing. They didn’t have to say anything at all and conveyed their point clearly.
"babe wake up, the paw patrol copaganda video just dropped". If this was a movie 20 years ago, I would have been waiting in my tent outside to get midnight showing tickets.
Your segment on dogs being used to cover up the police’s crimes really reminded me of playing the original wolfenstein, as I had to kill legions of nazi attack dogs and the whole time I was thinking “poor little puppers they don’t know they’re working for nazis, they just want treats”
Yeah. It always feels especially cruel to use dogs to make your public image look better. The dogs don't know about human politics or morals. They care about YOU and want to help YOU. it feels weird to see, because it's not really betraying or using the dog who is more than happy to go with it, but is that not uncomfortable? Dogs aren't the same as people but is that not an uncomfortable reality to face
@@leonineKelter using dogs as attack dogs is devolving them into wolves. Remember how at the start of the video, he explains evolution and domestication from Wolf to Dog, passive ones are rewardes, aggressive aren't, and attack dogs are opposite, basically trained wolves.
@@RabdoInternetGuy most wolves are fairly passive and don't want to fight people either unless they feel cornered or threatened. Regardless, I understand the point you're making

It's infuriating that corporate dribble like Paw Patrol gets nine seasons, when good shows exist like the Owl House, that actually got cancelled two seasons in, we can have copaganda, but not same sex couples.
@@Fusilier7 I mean, Paw Patrol is for three year olds, and Owl House is for thirteen year olds. Not quite the same demographics. There are absolutely much better shows for young children that deserve the backing Paw Patrol gets though.
@@Jacob-lb2ww Teletubbies was for very small children, yet it was assailed by conservatives because Tinky Winky was rumoured to be gay, Sesame Street has faced conservative wrath for decades for talking about hard topics, and Thomas the tank engine actually had a non-binary character, but was dropped because of threats from the right. Children are a demographic, and they are seen as such by the law and businesses alike, there maybe categories of children, but this will not exempt them from being included in those statistics, besides, conservatives don't care about age, to them it's just a number.
One thing about police dogs, especially attack dogs is that the training and conditioning they undergo is dangerous to them too. It's obviously not as important as the harm done to people through them, but believe it or not when a dog is trained to attack people its incredibly difficult to integrate them into life after their service. Retired police dogs often have to be put down because they were conditioned to be weapons first and foremost and are often a danger to people.
the way police use dogs is very messed up. But they are also BRED to be WILLING to bite people. Most dog breeds have that trait culled out of them. In most cases throughout history, if a dog bites its handler, you get rid of it. It didnt survive to pass those genes down. Most dog bites are basically defensive, thats not whats happening with police dogs. They are selected and bred with the willingness to bite people very much in mind.
You can do bite sports with your dog and they'll be a perfectly fine pet so unless the US does some extra weird shit to their police dogs this sounds like bs
@@Te3time the dogs are trained to be literal weapons, it's not for sport. Ofc it's different, it's way more intense. I don't know where the idea they get put down comes from though, the vast majority are adopted by their handlers.
I argue that because it's a 'kid's cartoon' is all the more reason to be careful and critically analyse the messages of the cartoon they're giving to the kids.
@@hooting-ton5215 Why would I waste an hour or so of my life with this far left BS? If it actually added something to the table sure. But it looks like the same BS rhetoric that gets fuckers like Light Foot in office so they can fuck everything up about the city. Not to mention any of the comments that agrees are Leftist self diagnosised Anarchists. So like the video and spread the word. Watch San Francisco and all the rest burn down and continue to blame the Right.
I've noticed for years that Paw Patrol never has the characters, like, learning anything? Most tv shows aimed at preschoolers (the good ones, at least) have some kind of emotional conflict the characters get themselves into, they learn how to overcome it (ideally from problem solving, instead of having the solution 'lectured' to them by an adult), and the episode ends on some lesson or moral. Paw Patrol's conflict comes down to "You have a problem? Call the cops!" so even for the standards of kid's cartoons the show is extremely lacking. At best it's a glorified commercial for toys, and at worst it's, well... everything this video got into.
As someone who's been in the animation industry for 3 years having almost exclusively worked on children's cartoons up to this point, I can personally attest that the mood from those animators is very much universal to a point of being uncanny.
I hate that it is legal for a franchise to make billions of dollars and the people at the top super rich all while the people who do the bulk of the work get paid as little as possible and overworked to boot. I'm not sure what the children's animation wage is but I am betting it's under median.
@@LC-sc3en You mean that they legally agreed to in their contracts? No one was stopping them from making their own stuff independently but guess what? they needed other peoples money and entered into a working agreement for said money . Good god this comment section is filled with idiots.
@@eldin_volcano I still listened to it, but I too have a minor phobia of dogs. I hate the narrative that everyone loves dogs because a lot of people don't.
Its sadly very common to hear the "everyone loves dogs". Like if someone has a bad day and ask for pet pics, but no dogs, people will still go "i dont care heres a dog pic" which is... insane. Hell groups online where they dont allow dog pics still end up getting dog pics posted because dog people are unable to understand that not everyone loves dogs.
@@Bonkpunktexe finally someone who thinks like me! I dont like dogs either and dog people are worse cuz they take that as a personal attack and get sooo mad when you tell them
@@fau3058 yeah. It also doesnt help that its common to see people saying that not liking dogs means you're a bad person. Like all those people saying they trust a dog who doesnt like someone over a person who doesnt like dogs. Like im pretty sure dogs also have certain people they dont like, just like how humans dont like every single human. Trusting an animal outright for not being okay with certain people isnt exactly a good guide for which people to trust or not.
I had a cousin who worked in construction get his entire paycheck stolen by a cop during a traffic stop due to civil asset forfeiture. He even had his receipt from the bank where he cashed his check that match the exact dollar amount he had on him. And yes, this happened in Tennessee, not even an hour from Nashville
i have a friend who works as an animator on the paw patrol spin-off show about the construction dog rubble. they always tell me about how incredibly stupid the plot and characters are, even by kids show standards, and how their only solace in working on it is animating the overdramatic villain who they affectionately refer to as "bootleg walugi" they've also mentioned they're under a LOT of crunch. if the main paw patrol animation team is in a similar state, that would explain the bad/re-used animation and complete lack of enthusiasm. not really an excuse - obviously, people shouldn't be under crunch in the first place, it's entirely the studios heads' fault here. but it definitely makes it all make sense
When I was younger (five to maybe nine) I used to blame everything on Rubble (like saying "Rubble did it" when I cut my dolls hair) to a point it's still a running gag in my family, as of typing this I am 13

I love how they’re like “leftists can’t take a joke” when pretty much every rage bait thing that Fox screeches about was just a meme that they took to heart.
My cousin's family bought a german shepherd a few years back and named it "Chase" because (they were determined to convince everyone that) their little boy liked Paw Patrol (although every indication was that he _hated_ it). The boy bonded with the dog, of course, but this family has no clue about how to manage a dog like that while also raising him in an area of overstimulation with no discipline or training, ultimately creating a neurotic mess who clearly believes he's the pack leader of the family and is a backbiting, dangerous little bastard. Now they've moved in next door to me out in the country and "Chase" runs free. I increasingly worry that I am going to be forced to cripple or kill this animal sooner or later when it gets up the nerve to do more than nip and run, and most likely in front of the boy, because the dog is most aggressive when he thinks he has his pack backing him up. So that's one _nice_ thing this wonderful cartoon has contributed to. Speaking of which, not only should dogs not be owned by people who can't handle them, it should be viewed as inhumane to use any kind of animal as a weapon, the way police routinely do. I'd prefer they not be used in any regard, but their noses are _apparently_ invaluable for other purposes 👀. Attack training, though, is no different than using them for pit fighting so far as the dog's welfare is concerned, and is without question a form of police brutality when the dogs are allowed to maul anyone.
But why would they wanna acknowledge how unstable police weapon dogs are (during and after retiring work) - especially in comparison to those oh so violent "bullies" they wanna ban - when they work for the police who've done no such wrong? 🤪 Bullies are only as big as a untrained, overwhelming shelter-filling, horribly backyard bred problem as they are because they're associated with those big bad poors and not our good police 🤪🤪
Admittedly this is an old post, but still. Nipping is a normal process when a puppy is teething. Usually, puppies will nip at each other as a form of play, but they don't have the control to avoid hurting the other dog. When they accidentally bite too hard, the other dog yelps as a form of communicating: "You bite too hard" and the puppy learns not to bite so hard, a process called "bite inhibition". For humans, responding with a "ow!" or "no!" in a firm but not aggressive voice can do the same trick. Additionally, having chew toys on hand can help redirect the dog's focus on nipping the chew toy and not you. In this case, I'd wager a guess that the dog is not necessarily aggressive, but rather hasn't learned the proper bite inhibition. You could try the above practice in order to try to teach bite inhibition, but I'm uncertain if it will work correctly on an older dog.
@@rileycorrigan5593 When I say "nip" I mean just like they do when they hunt, attempting to hamstring from behind. This dog does not play, and is a bit of a lunatic even with his owners. The worst part is that his behavior is more aggressive when they're present, even if they are trying to control him. Also, as much as I dislike this dog, their futile attempts at controlling him are just cruel. It's no wonder he's batty.
believe it or not, one of the HARDEST lines regarding police i have ever heard in a cartoon was from be cool scooby doo, and it was spoken BY A POLICE DOG DIRECTED TOWARDS HIS HANDLER. "i'm about to turn the thin blue line THICK AND RED."
You think that goes hard, there's an even harder line at the end of the mayor episode where Velma says she would've declared marshal law just to see what would happen.
52:58 I believe this scene is actually a very poignant revelation of a darker aspect of Chase's character. Despite his proximity to the submarine remaining unchanged, both the sub and his helmet being isolated, and the water acting as an additional barrier, Chase started sneezing as soon as he saw the cats. This means that his allergy is actually a psychosomatic reaction, probably rooted in some kind of trauma and/or extreme rejection of the trigger. In other words, Chase is thoroughly cat-cist. EDIT: I can't believe that I need to specify it, but this is a joke.
When I was a little kid, I got bitten by a cat, and thusly never wanted to be anywhere near them growing up. Fast forward to high school, I have a boyfriend with a cat, so it’s time to get over that fear, now. Oops! Looks like I’m allergic! I get super itchy, sneeze, coughing and sore throat from just being within a few feet of cats. I always assumed I developed the allergy from never being around them, but this comment is making me question my whole existence and identity.
What if his trainers forced cats to beat him when he was a puppy? It’s not too unlike cops to instill aggression towards certain groups in their own dogs given the 1950s…
@@gabbykabins4333 I believe you can develop an allergy later on, it doesn’t mean it’s psychosomatic. In fact I believe cat injuries may cause allergies, but don’t take my word for it cause I’m talking out my ass

According to the courts now, they can take a dont break while someone is being hacked into little pieces in front of them and have no obligation to interfere. The courts know that the police do not "serve and protect" the citizens, but rather serve to manage the citizens, and maybe fleece them a little in the process.
Hypocrisy goes both ways, the left became the new moral guardians, not much different from the classic moral puritans from the past, but when the right tries to censor or ban everything, the fans are heroes for defending their hobby, but when the left does it, now it's the fans who are soft and whiny, and worried too much about small stuff event though they weren't the ones that were worried about it and censored/banned it in the first place.
THANK YOU for bringing up the use of animals as a cover. Police dogs are weapons, full stop. the fact that the dogs themselves don’t know any better is part of what makes them so dangerous. I work as a vet tech and the clinic i’m at sees a lot of the county sheriffs k9s. it is frankly terrifying how reactive if not outright violent a lot of these dogs are and their handlers don’t know what they are doing half the time.
I work at a Goodwill, and naturally we get a lot of kid's clothes and toys featuring Paw Patrol characters. One of the things that's always bothered me is how Skye (the girl dog) is often excluded from merchandise aimed at boys. There's a very clear gendered bias where she just cannot appear on boy's stuff, like even if all of the other dogs appear as an ensemble. So you can add weird gender essentialism to something else sinister about this show.
This is fairly common in a lot merchindise targeted at young boys, especailly the justice leauge. They'll include aquaman and green lantern but exclude wonder woman on things like t-shirts and coloring books despite the fact shes much more popular and well known. Not defending the show but its definitely weird adults creating this think 'boy can't have girl on shirt'
Update: as of this video Chase has been suspended with pay for the armed assault and hospitalization of two pitbulls who were "resisting arrest" after being caught stealing a miniature bag of dog treats.
It’s ok though because those pitbulls had a previous criminal history-one of them was once caught for speeding (65 in a 55) and other got busted for catnip possession (later overturned due to lack of evidence).
@@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090 I like how you're seriously trying to argue for the innocence of Chase the dog from Paw Patrol in the same way weird racist people did for Derek Chauvin
I can't believe you missed the one other character trait held by a pup in the whole show. Rocky's sole defining trait is that he doesn't like baths... as the only pup in a "working class" job as a refuse collector. Childrens shows that don't have in your face messages are just more sinister about it.
Damn it's wild to think about Rocky hating baths as a working class job pup, like the implications of people in the working class not enjoying baths or being clean is just really uncomfortable and disturbing. I may be looking too deep into this, but like whoa-

In senior year, I went to a school that was half a credit-recovery school, half a juvie school. All of us were treated as criminals, even those who were only there for credits, like me; sometimes those in juvie could switch to our side on probation. So, of course, there were a ton of full-gear cops, who thought every child was a threat. Every single morning, the first thing you do is (even on the normal school half) put all your stuff on a table, and walk through metal detectors meanwhile your bags, jackets, shoes, and food are searched, exactly like a US airport. The poor teachers had to be the ones searching our bags, because the cops were busy standing behind the tables and making sure we weren't doing anything ~suspicious~ while we took off our belts/shoes/etc, and to search us if we set off the detectors. They also had a separate station at the end where every bottle brought in had to be tested- so either let strangers do god knows what to your water bottles, or buy the expensive water at the school. It was a 50/50 chance you'd be let through without testing if a bottle's seal was still visibly unbroken, but a personal bottle stood no chance. Every two weeks at random times we'd have to stand up, set our bags in front of our desks, and let two cops- one was a regular guard in the wing, the other a handler and his dog- go through the classroom to "detect" if we still somehow had something on us. At that point, I was having the worst time of my life- undiagnosed depression, ADHD + dyslexia + dyscalculia (which is why I had to go to a make-up school) and chronic insomnia left me barely responsive, my clothes were baggy or tattered, and I was sallow and sickly from neglect + abuse. Huge surprise: the kid who was languid and mentally ill and poor got flagged the most, every single one a false positive! Intriguing! After the first two months, the fear of the whole procedure left me, I was mostly just dreading all the extra time taken out of my day that would have to go towards ripping apart my bag, taking my clothes, and making me do drug tests. I ended up just not carrying a bag anymore, and only wearing pajamas, because that was just more time for them to find nothing! It was a little frightening, being 17 with all of that, but to some extent I thought it was normal and made sense, if there were juvie kids. But when I was on my way to the nurse one time, I saw the lines of juvie kids, and they were all people I knew from my old school, people who were only caught with a lighter or who pushed someone. There were only two or three kids, out of the dozens there, that I think needed serious help- those who start fires and kill cats kinds of kids. Even then, this wasn't how to handle them. It all felt very odd at the time. But now, being an adult who's gotten very involved in far-left politics, thinking back on my school experience is objectively horrifying, one of those things where the trauma doesn't hit you until years later. The school-to-prison pipeline is so, so obvious thinking back on it, especially since the majority of the kids there were non-white, or poor, or sick, or pregnant, or had bad home lives, many with multiple. I really, really hope they're all doing ok. I wish I could hug them.
It really is disgusting how people vilify kids. In my opinion. If you are under 25 you still have plenty of time to change your ways and are probably a victim of the higher ups in your life- parents, school, just society in general -. It really is sad to come to terms with the fact that you can't just complain to the higher ranking people of your life and not be shrugged off or take ages to come to justice. Guess everyone's a villain to the government huh.
I work as a teacher in an alternative school similar to the one you describe. It's separated into 3 wings: a wing for behavioral/"criminal" students who've been kicked out of their districts, a wing for credit recovery/shop class trade school stuff, and a wing for students who have mental and emotional issues. Similar to what you describe but I think what sets it apart is the mindset the administration and teachers approach it with. The goal is rehabilitation rather than punishment and we're encouraged to look out for our students' emotional needs. We also don't have cops, just security employees, most of whom are from similar backgrounds as the students. It's not perfect, and I've got plenty of complaints, but it mostly works. I'm sorry that the school you went to was so horrible. That never should have happened.
this is gonna get personal real quick: one night in 2021, my parents were walking their dog when, out of nowhere, an escaped german shepherd police dog attacked them. the dog's human partner was nowhere to be found, my parents have never been any kind of suspect or committed any crime, they didn't have any sort of contraband on them, nothing, no reason for the dog to attack them. but he did-my mom almost lost control of her arm, and my dad almost died from blood loss. despite the fact that my parents very obviously did nothing wrong and that the fault was all on the human cop who hadn't kept his dog safely restrained while he was out of the house, my parents _still_ had to sue the local police department because the department refused to take any accountability. the cop who didn't properly train or keep his dog partner is still on the force, the dog who permanently scarred and traumatized my parents has not yet been put down with no plans to do so (not that i _want_ him dead, he's a dog, he didn't know he was doing anything wrong, but if he weren't a cop dog, he would've been put down immediately). my parents are very lucky to not have any lasting physical damage aside from scarring, but this is also a case that should be very cut and dry, the cops were at fault, but for some fucking reason, it's not. so yeah, i'm not really cool about a children's show that glamorizes the exact type of dog that can very easily go rogue because its been abused and trained to think that it's okay to viciously attack people, and ACAB includes cop dogs. (also somehow my parent's dog survived the attack. he was an eight-pound, five-month-old puppy at the time that managed to not get bit, scratched, no injury at all. he is, however, very clearly traumatized and scared of everything now.)
I reallly hate when people act like ALL dogs are innocent cute babies who wouldn't hurt a fly. Not true, some dogs are violent (especially unfixed and fixed male dogs bc of the testosterone levels.)

@@falcon_arkaig absolutely. sometimes it depends on how they're trained/raised, sometimes it's just their personality. at the end of the day, dogs are still animals and can and do still have an instinct to be violent if they feel threatened. obviously some dogs have less of an instinct or are inherently less violent than others, but you can never know for sure.
A friend of mine who is a retired professional dog trainer knew people who trained the police dogs...most of them used abusive tactics to "train" them.

Yeah I'd have thought we left that behind in the Tom & Jerry era, but apparently not. Cats Evil Because Dogs Good is still a thing in the 2020s I guess. Great. (And this is not without real-world impact, as kids will absolutely mistreat animals they've been taught are 'bad'. A kid raised on shows like this, and too young to know better, might not think twice about yelling at and kicking a cat.)
I also end up seeing a lot of conservative people have a strang eand extreme vendetta against cats. I grew up in hicktown and owned 4 cats, and id hear right wingers talk about how much they wanted to kill cats and would go into graphic detail.

I've started quizzing my kids whenever we see a TV character interact with the police. Just today, watching Gravity Falls, I paused and asked my son, "Ok, Grunkle Stan just got arrested. He told Dipper and Mabel that he's innocent. What should he say to the cops?" My son said, "'I have the right to remain silent. I want my lawyer.' And nothing else." High five, kiddo. (For the record, my kids are 14 and 17...I'm not saying parents of five-year-olds should do this...though...I'm not saying they *shouldn't,* either.)
apparently in some cases "i want my lawyer" may not be taken as it should be either. heard "i demand/invoke my right to an attorney" is legally clearer with (supposedly) no loopholes. but who knows. maybe the cops'll find a way to spin it as just something the person said instead of. y'know. an exercise of legal rights.
@@numbuh1507 yes, but I ignored that fact for the sake of the teaching moment...I figure they probably don't need to know how to resist FBI interrogations until they're at least 18.
36:49 I'm from Sonoma County and I'm surprised that you were able to find this incident. The local sheriff department has done their best to try and hide this interaction from the public. The sheriff department in Sonoma County has some major issues. For example, just last month the wife of the currently elected sheriff launched her tesla into the front of a random person's house while twice the legal limit for alcohol.
As a parent, part of the most important parts of the job to me is helping my kids learn to comprehend what their media is saying to them. Messages behind the stories, lessons they're trying to teach, and what it means. Idk if enough parents do this with their kids. Teaching then critical thinking skills and media literacy skills is so important!
Tbh a lot of leftist parents should take that to heart - I think some parents think they can just give their kids the right and moral answers, but kids need to understand WHY something is true - otherwise they'll jump on any bandwagon that even pretends to make arguments later on. Not to say anybody isn't welcome to contribute, but I feel like a lot of leftists could stand to have their critical thinking and media literacy improved... It's frustrating how easy it is to come off as "smart" because you memorized a leftie textbook or use social studies lingo.

They are actively observing and learning from everything they see, and it so important that we be aware of the lessons and ideologies our children are being exposed to.
The "it's just for kids" reason works here rather than in other times because this shoe is not teachinv kids anything bad like all of you lunatics think. It's just a show meant to entertain kids and, I guess, teach them to be careful around certain things that CAN happen.
Upon rewatching this video, it strikes me that the same people who have cancelled or tried to cancel kids shows for showing queer characters got so angry about people making anti-paw patrol memes. I'm not surprised by the hypocrisy but it's striking.
It's not hypocrisy: anyone who goes to censorship as a solution is authoritarian, and police propaganda reflects the authoritarian worldview. That said, topics of sexuality, especially going beyond the biological facts of reproduction, are inappropriate for children, and poorly-handled by most childrens' programs (Bluey handles heavier subjects well, by keeping them subtle and _never_ propagandistic, for a counter-example).
@@crimsonmask3819 propaganda's 'information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point', bluey isn't exempt here and neither are your own ideals.
I deeply hate that all characters in children's cartoons now have to be voiced by children. We were fools for complaining that fifty year old women voiced all of the young boys in old cartoons. We need to return.
I don't think the recent tendency for cartoons to get kid VAs are necessarily a bad thing; Aang and Toph in Avatar: The Last Airbender had pretty good voice acting and were all voiced by actual kids, same for the kid characters in The Amazing World of Gumball and the foal characters of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. And in terms of _preschool_ cartoons, Bluey's child characters have pretty decent voice acting. The difference is that Paw Patrol is asking _little_ little kids (single-digit age) to do voice acting for scripts so simple that the voice direction probably doesn't go much further than "say the thing on the script." All those shows I mentioned have actual characters with actual personalities who deliver cleverly written dialogue. Paw Patrol just has toyetic cute puppy designs who all have the same character voice.
Just something I noticed at 52:58: Apparently Chase is SO allergic to cats, that he will sneeze at the mere sight of them, while being in a hermetically sealed suit. That's kinda hilarious in a really dumb way.
About that bit where you talk about police dogs have racist history, my dad has an ex-cop friend who used to train Rottweilers. He gave us two to keep as guard dogs, both having passed away in 2016. Both dogs had angry reactions to seeing darker skinned people all the time, such as black postmen, black joggers, our old neighbor (who was an elderly black guy) or even my grandfather (who's darker than all of us).
Just wanna say I have a labrador and she barks at anything big and black, including inanimate objects lol, as dogs do, because for their eyes it's hard to make out features and discern what it is. I think the jump to somehow dogs being racist is pretty funny :')
I grew up in a mixed family and even now I still had a mixed view of the police because of my influence from my white, right leaning dad and my black mother. The uprising after George Floyd’s murder really opened my eyes, but it was even more of a wake up call for me when some family members on my moms side living in New York were attacked by police just a week and a half ago. Long story short the police were called for a false noise complaint and they thought that my 60 year old non-verbal great uncle “looked aggressive,” so they tackled and arrested him and my cousin. There is no doubt in my mind that the police system is corrupt and violent, and teaching children that the police always have YOUR best interest in mind and that all they want is to keep people safe is very confusing when they’re shooting at children holding nerf guns on the news.
Lol yeah, what SHOULD we teach kids then? Not to call the police during emergency? Just call a social worker when you're New York apartments gets robbed.
@@sawcon3840 I never said that we should never call the police EVER, but simply that we need to teach kids and realize ourselves that even though they shouldn’t, police have just as much prejudice as anyone else and that prejudice is encouraged by their corrupt system. If my house was being broken into of course I’d have to call the police, but not for anything that doesn’t cause immediate danger (i.e. a noise complaint). Even then they’ve proved pretty lackluster in that department too, such as failing to diffuse school shootings.
I’m a criminology student and in one of my modules the lecturer said we could talk about police dogs for the assessment, and I just immediately dropped what I was doing and went through my watch history to find this video again
I worked at an animal shelter and I have never been as terrified as when I walked into the back room and saw a giant German Shepard barreling towards someone to attack... It turns out no one bothered to mention that the police rented the space for training. Extra ironic because any regular dog that bit someone was immediately euthanized even if the dog had been provoked/threatened.
@@IsThatEtchas the police are not doing bitesports, most dogs in a shelter are not trained for it, bitesports were not even mentioned in the original comment, and the focus on bitesports in this reply is...interesting?
@@river_brook Yeah I dunno what I was getting at with this reply. It's pretty irrelevant. Chalk it up to it being late and me being too defensive. People who do bitesports get lumped in with people who intentionally make their dogs reactive "for self-defense" and cops who train their dogs to maul people. Plus, people think that former police dogs are irredeemable dangerous dogs, when many would do great in a good working home (far, far away from the smell of bacon). As someone who is really passionate about GSD and bitesports, I got my jimmies a bit rustled.
@@samaraisnt dogs have been bred to understand subtle nuances in human emotions... let's teach em to maul people people based on the whims of someone with 0 conflict resolution training
Conservatives when they see leftists criticizing a kid's show for glorifying the police: "I can't believe they're coming after a children's show!" Also conservatives when they see a kid's show with a gay in it: "GYHDGKJGSJGFSYJGYJUGEYG!!!!"
There's a guy who keeps commenting that we shouldn't talk about Paw Patrol copaganda because Disneyland is some kind of child trafficking ring. Extremely unhinged
@@carolinewheeler77 Nah, the problem isn't that conservatives are going after kids shows, it's that they're going after the wrong shows for horrible reasons.
As an extra to your point about Northern States basing their police on British police at 1:05:00: In Britain our first organised, centralised police force was established in Ireland to brutally repress the native people being colonised there, then imported to the rest of the UK. This style of policing was used all across the empire to control first, and keep order second. There is no innocent lineage for policing.
In Canada, the North-West Mounted Police, later the RCMP, was established to brutally enforce colonization and western expansion. The RNWMP were modeled after the Royal Irish Constabulary. They were (and arguably still are) essentially a paramilitary force.
@@Dexter037S4 no. Under the umbrella of the rcmp they have different completely self autonomized branches from each other And actually no the Canadian NSA is the NIC come on you should of known that
My favorite thing is that the same people who are foaming at the mouth over how it's "insane" to criticize Paw Patrol because it's "for kids" are the people who want to ban kids' books they don't like, going so far to threaten violence when libraries don't comply.
@@c.lineofficial I'm sure you meant nothing by it and I hope this isn't taken as a personal attack, that being said "narcissist" really isn't a great word to throw around to describe a group of fascists (or any other kind of Bad Person ie. abusers, conmen, etc.). Nowadays the term is heavily tied to people with NPD/Narcissistic Personality Disorder and the conflation of the word narcissist with 'evil people' by laymen is one of many contributing factors to stigma and outright bigotry that people with the condition face.
@@starchilde8698 Ohhhh I didn't think about THAT. I didn't mean to throw it around since I take an intro to psychology course. You're right because I don't even know their personal lives enough to deem them narcissists, and I believe thats where the stigmatizing lies. I'm sorry about that.
The difference is Paw Patrol literally did nothing wrong?? Like, those things "they" go after are controversial and divisive but Paw Patrol did absolutely nothing wrong.

Regarding the accuracy of detection dogs, I have an anecdote from high school. I used to take Prozac for depression, and I had done so that very morning. Cops came by with a bloodhound or some other detection dog, I forget, to sniff our backpacks for drugs. Because my hand touched prozac, and I then proceeded to handle my backpack with said hand, they picked up the scent of Prozac on it despite it not being there in the first place. Worst part was, mine was the only bag they apparently detected anything on. The contents of my bag were dumped on a table, and I was very embarrassed.
you know....thinking back i think that happened to a friend of mine. He was the only one in the class to get searched. Thats actually a logical explanation outside of just him being the only goth kid and them profiling.
I worked on Paw Patrol toys before they were released, and we planned Marshall to be the star. It was only after Chase's popularity dwarfed Marshall's that he became the main character. So that also shows that the preschoolers already knew he had all the elements to be their favorite before we did.
Honestly, kind-of makes sense. Dalmations are just sort-of mascotts, but police dogs actually go out and do things. Not consistent things or good things, but it makes more sense to sell the premise. Then aerial sky dog happens and all logic goes out the window.
I had to intervene in some police violence a few years ago, and holy shit police dogs are terrifying. And the fact that they're perceived as cute is even scarier. They are a weapon, plain and simple, just a weapon that people are conditioned to defend from any and all criticism. Also, we should be deeply critical of fire departments and other emergency services, even if they're better than cops in some ways. Fire departments are often enlisted to violently break up protests with their high power hoses (which can cause serious injury) and even medical first responders pull shit like leaving trans people to die.
To be fair, the dogs ARE cute. They are trained to be weapons, not inherently so. Let's not do what people do to pit bulls and assume the violence is something inherent to the breed.
hanging out at a party once that had several EMTs present, and the "funny" stories they shared about how horrifically they treated their patients made me realize they are just as untrustworthy as the cops when it comes to your health and safety in an emergency if you're a vulnerable person. they were describing symptoms that, little did they know, were the same symptoms i have as part of my disability, and they were laughing in front of me while accusing people with my exact symptoms of faking our medical emergencies for attention. and most of the firefighters in my area are hyper-conservative conspiracy types that are on the same wavelength of cops, if not outright friends with them. and my area has a long history of "race riots" during the civil rights era, in which the fire departments were conveniently unavailable to respond to the mass arson incidents in black neighborhoods while white people were driving out the black residents en masse.
@@pennyforyourthots No. Fuck that. I am not fair to cops. Those dogs are not cute, and I hope you never actually have to deal with a police dog and find that out first hand. I don't give a shit why they're violent. That fact remains that they are weapons and should be eliminated by whatever means are necessary and available. If that means rehabilitation, fine. If that means someone stabs a police dog to death rather than let it rip their face off, then I support that too.
@@58209 Exactly. That's the shit I'm talking about. You'll also often see EMTs getting involved in union busting. Lots of hand-wringing about "how dare McDonalds workers ask for higher wages than us noble EMTs" and no solidarity or sense that maybe the people fucking over the EMTs are the same as the people fucking over the McDonalds workers.
Ah yes, the classic dogs are good and cats are evil take present in countless shows and movies for kids. Definitely doesn't have weird implications with the fact that dogs are seen as masculine and obedient and cats are seen as feminine and duplicitous (and sexy). Lots of weird gender stuff attached to do different species of pets for no reason.
Paw Patrol could easily be made just... fine if Chase was like a paramedic dog or something. None of the other dogs are cops, just get rid of the cop dog. It would make more sense based on the whole rescue thing anyways.
regarding chase being put alongside other first responders...idk if you've covered this before, but EMTs, firefighters, and 911 operators, while not directly as violent as the police, tend to have a lot of overlap with the problematic parts of policing, especially in regards to individuals being involved in white supremacist groups or applying bigoted biases against the people they are supposedly helping. (e.g. firefighters being buddy-buddy with cops in their free time and being involved in reactionary social circles. firefighters' history of weaponizing water canons against civil rights protestors, and refusing to put out fires in black neighborhoods during the "race riots" that burned down entire black neighborhoods overnight. EMTs having racial biases in how they respond to black patients, ignoring the severity of their pain more than that of white patients, or accusing patients of color or poor patients of being on drugs when they're having seizures or panic attacks.) it's kind of a meme that "nobody said 'all firefighters are bastards'", but i think we need more discussion about the biases, abuses, and historical weaponization of other fields of emergency responders.
I may be wrong but I feel like those problems stem more from the prejudices in society at large and are not inherent to those particular institutions unlike the institution of policing which has inherent problems structurally as well as societal prejudices. Like the fire hose use to control crowds was probably (I don't know) an order from some government and not a decision made within the firehouse and within their authority to do unilaterally. But I may be wrong if you know more. Whereas the police and sheriff's have systemic issues and will even fight against governments that try to reign them in. Although I have heard the problem of pain treatment byedical professionals towards black and brown communities to be problematic before so there could be some institutional problems. Certainly worth more scrutiny at least.
Yeah these professions run in the same circles but unlike cops, those other jobs aren't racist and classist by design. They're just the normal kind of racist and classist lol
@@guy-sl3kr i mean not wrong but also kinda missing the point. it is a systemic issue that these public services routinely marginalize the already marginalized but we ignore it bc they generally ("generally") do work we consider to actually be heroic
@@GrayYeonWannabe A firefighter who lets a black person's house burn down is a firefighter that isn't doing their job. Same goes for a doctor that neglects to treat their black patient's pain. But a cop that steals from, beats, and kills a black person IS doing their job properly and as intended. Because using violence to uphold the (racist, bourgeois) law is what they're there to do. Cops are racist in a very different way than other jobs is what I'm saying.
I mean to be fair, at least in the us, you do need firefighters, unlike cops, cause at least without the cops, ppl can still theoretically open carry grenade launcher when going to pizza hut.
so you agree with the idea of kids shows being propaganda is what youre saying? your views are the same as that of a conservative, you just think that "dont litter, kids" is evil propaganda but the gay stuff is fine? so youre just an idiot? if there was a gay police dog in paw patrol would you be half-angry at it?
"It's become so crazy, they're going after Paw Patrol!!" This was around the time, I think, that conservatives were angry over the Land O' Lakes mascot change.
You got angry about the Land O' Lakes mascot and ordered to remove her first. It was just a native girl standing there, doing nothing, her clothing was accurate, the person who drew her was native, but let's remove any native from anything because just a native appearing is offensive, and of course, the people who complain about we removing everything are the ones who are soft and whiny and worried about insignificant stuff even though we were worried about it in the first place.
To be fair, the actress who plays the major in the live action version is VERY VERY good at doing those animated mannerisms, those TikTok cosplayers have nothing on her
One of the most powerful seemingly small things I learned working with Holocaust survivor testimony was that it wasn’t until the 1990s that many Israelis began to get German shepherds. Earlier since so many Israelis were Holocaust survivors having a German shepherd or other large dog on the street would sometimes cause widespread panic. Dogs are the weapon of the most brutal scenes of torture I have read about during various genocides including the Holocaust and the American slave trade. A large dog can rip apart a human being, especially a child, and it is one of the worst deaths imaginable
Yeah, there's a reason the hot box and Dog scene with D'Artigan in Django set me on edge compared to the rest. There's more realism in that type of horror
Those Thomas clips sent me, wasn't expecting that. George Carlin's perfect delivery of "He's a henhouse, now!" had me rollin. I never realised how insane that show was in retrospect!
I was bitted by a dog, i'm a trainer and i work with shall we say... Complicated cases. i've had one bite that broke skin. This dog was a husky, comparable in size and shape to a shepherd. he whipped around and latched onto my arm unexpectedly as a way of "correcting" me, as if i were a puppy in the wrong, but i'm not a puppy, i'm a human with soft human flesh who could at the time push 300lbs and deadlift 150. Because the dogs intention was to correct me and NOT harm me he did NOT pull, he did NOT shake, he did NOT rip and he didn't even latch on like police dogs do. In fact he didn't move an inch. he just bit down. And i was left with 2 1 cm punctures, 1 3/4 cm puncture, tons of bruising and a lacerated finger because i pried his jaw off my arm when i said "no, that's bad". There was fat globs bubbling out of my arm in 3 places. it barely bled compared to a lot of bites i've had due to the pressure pinching the tissue off, but that just meant more cellular damage, slower healing and much higher risk of infection compared to other animal bites. I had to go to a urgent care clinic, somewhere i'd only been to from one other animal bite (a rat who tore the knuckle casing of my finger) They RUSHED me to the back and you'd think from their reactions my arm was hanging off. I've handled many animal related injuries so I judge injury severity by the doctors reactions. I only knew it was bad by normal standards because the nurses were poorly hiding how freaked out they were by the damage. It caused MAJOR interruptions to my life, got in the way of me handling basic needs as my dominant arm had fat hanging out of it until that fat died, fell off and the wounds closed, the antibiotics i went on were damaging to my digestion due to how strong they had to be, and the scars are the worst ones I've had from an animal. i worked through 6 sprained ankles and a broken rib without even tylonol and the dog bite still got to me pain wise WITH pain meds. they didn't sew it up because closing it so it couldn't' be cleaned daily raised infection risk. And again. it was the absolute smallest and least harmful dog bite anyone could get from a dog that size, it was a half step up from a play bite. As a trainer, and someone with a decade of working with aggressive and extreme dog cases; Police dogs put animals at risk of harm and are a method of terrorizing the public. They are not a viable or humane tool for police work in ANY situation and using police dogs is nothing short of animal abuse for the sake of making police look better because even the shittiest person feels empathy for police dogs (and by extension the police) when they see a dog got hurt "in the line of duty" sniffer dogs at airports, yes. Service animals YES, cadaver dogs and search and rescue dogs PLEASE more of them, military dogs! sure, i get it. but dogs do not and never will have a place in law enforcement.
I love how the police make the dogs they use out be Blood Hounds, exemplifying they don't really care about using dogs for tracking. If they were really interested in using dogs to find things with smell, or just understood how dogs worked, you need a god damn smell sample of what you want the dog to find, meaning for drug dogs to even be useful every cop with a dog would need to have a sample of every possible drug they are looking for. This is completely unfeasible on the human side for a bunch of OBVIOUS reasons, but on the dog side of things we don't know how many smells they can hold in working memory at any given time so the longer the list of gets the better the chance they end up forgetting smells.
It's been a while so I'll probably have to research it, but don't a lot of police, or at least a handful, just train the dog to bark every time because that allows to search basically anytime they want
You... You don't know how dog scent training works. I'm a dog trainer and do recreational scent sports with my dogs and teach it to others. One method of training is the "match to sample" kind of training. The other is just teaching a dog to alert on specific odors - this is really easy to do and you don't need any sort of sample. They do just remember it. They do need to be introduced and proofed on these odors. Now, I have loads of issues with how dogs are used in police work, and how they often do not do the proper training which is seriously an issue with safety and probable cause, but dogs can and do remember tons of odors and can properly alert on them with proper training without a sample on site.
@@BVoshol yea like. Dogs are very much capable of sniffing out drugs, but many sniffer dogs will give out lots of false positives, and even well trained ones have been shown to get a false positive to please the owner
Fun fact, we are in an election right now where I live (Quebec), and even though the campaign has been pretty rough and disheartening, we still had quite a bit of comedy gold - such as when the chief of the separatist party announced that he'd cancel Paw Patrol and its "clones" because they were "too American".

I’d argue Scooby Doo is “spooky cops” done right. The Scooby Gang usually act only as investigators, tend to befriend the local community to do their job, they apprehend the culprit in a non-lethal manner and afterwards turn them in to the aprópiate authority (usually but not always a cop or sheriff) for them to be legally tried afterwards.
@@TheElizondo88 Not just nonlethal, but completely nonviolent aside from cartoon booby traps and occasional slapstick. Don't think they even have any weapons whatsoever (Scooby doesn't count because he's a stoner dog)
@@TheElizondo88 It's also kind of funny that the culprit is, the majority of the time, a business man, or someone trying to monetize the situation they've made through terrorising the people.

I just wanna say as someone who used to be super hyperfixated on Paw Patrol because of how flawed adventure bay was; Marshall being clumsy possibly makes him the most realistic character. They all look like puppies, but they don't act like puppies. Hell, Rubble looks like a fully grown dog. So does Rocky, actually. But Marshall being clumsy makes him seem more like a puppy. Puppies are super clumsy and kinda stupid because they're still exploring the world around them and because they're so little. All the other puppies act like older human kids aside from barking every now and then. Marshall seems like an actual dog just... if that dog learned to speak? and this is why we should replace Chase with Marshall. Also, Marshall should be doing the rescue Chickoletta missions because firefighters rescue people so obv.
THIS IS SO REAL i also used to be hyper fixated on Paw Patrol when i was younger and Marshall was my all time favourite and i absolutely HATED Chase with every inch of my being. petition to suspend Chase and replace him with Marshall
LMAO when you showed the show clip, my kid snatched my phone out of my hand to watch paw patrol. Then hand it back to me after the clip ends and says “Mommy, your friends are weird.” I know Kid, I know. 😂😂😂
I lost my MIND when you showed the PP Wiki has 11,000 ish entries. The wiki for Pathologic, a series with some very deep lore, has only 414 entries, and a lot of those are for in-game items with virtually no value. How could there possibly be that much to say about Paw Patrol?

i hate how cats are associated with being evil when some dogs can literally murder people with little hesitation and all my cat is gonna do is accidentally poke u with his claws while making biscuits on ur belly
heads up: am talking about pretty gore-y stuff below, including but isn't limited to blood and hypothetical amputation. no details, just be aware, but tldr: dogs can absolutely be more harmful than cats and people really need to chill with the cat slander. ⠀ ⠀ one of my cats left permanent scars on mine and me mum's hands and arms, from biting real deep into us. like, maybe about 2mm past the skin deep. because she got the end of er curly tail stuck on the rails and she went into panic mode. now, the bleedings were pretty gnarly. and like i said, the scars are pretty much permanent. but if she were a big dog with more powerful bite ... i prolly would've lost a finger and my mum would definitely have lost a whole hand. definitely not saying this to paint dogs (even just big dogs) as evil and dangerous or whatever. but it really is odd, when based on physical strength and capabilities alone, so many dogs can easily do more considerable harm than regular house cats. but no. cats are the ones that'll eat you when you die because they don't care, apparently.
@@mophead_xu TW: some descriptions of corpses and gore Dogs will absolutely eat your corpse as well. I might not have seen it in person but a detective I know worked on a case of 2 elderly people who died maybe days/weeks apart. Sadly their bodies were almost half eaten by their own dogs-their stomachs were open and most of their bodies were also empty. The photos were brutal. I don't blame the dogs, they were hungry so they ate what was in the open, I just don't like that narrative being used against cats when every single pet could start eating a corpse when they were starved, even herbivores like horses
To be fair, the reverse can be said. Some cats can literally murder people without hesitation and all my dogs gonna do is try to lay on you if you pet her
@@kerdnerl that has almost always been the narrative about cats and dogs. youre literally neither saying anything new nor contributing to the conversation youre just repeating the cats are evil crowds' favourite talking point.
When I was an EMT, it was a joke that you could never get a cop to show up on a medical call (to like, control traffic/crowds, remove people interfering, deal with the husband with a knife, etc) unless it was a situation where you absolutely did not want a cop (agitated psych patient you just barely managed to talk into visiting the hospital) and then they'd show up immediately and escalate anything they could find. Even a few towns over where EMS is dispatched by the police (vs dispatched by fire) they could not get the cops to actually be helpful on medical calls. This is why I will never understand why EMTs feel any kind of fraternity for cops. (Also Breonna Taylor was an EMT. No sense of fraternity saved her.) Clearly this is one of my roman empires.
We're so heavily propagandized that we think we're immune to propaganda. Also, anarchism as a political philosophy isn't the advocation for a society without rules, expectations and consequences.
What anarchism actually is is the skepticism and removal of all unjustifiable hierarchy and replacing it with democracy and mutual aid based community programs, and actually works better the more people there are. Using more than just first past the voting (one with the most votes wins even if it only represents a minority of the population) democracy is the foundation. Why don't we get to vote for our bosses?
Yeah, the term "Anarchy" has, for better or worse become a synonym for "chaos". That said, basically anyone who flaunts themselves as an anarchist on the internet can't be taken seriously most of the time.
What gets me is the longer I live in the States, the more it becomes clear that the culture of police, and the average cop, are no better than the ones my parents and I grew up with in East Europe. The corruption, the hypocrisy, the apathy, the ability to get away with murder- they're all there. Only difference is (mostly white) Americans are raised to believing their cops are inherently "good". The same people who called for violence against BLM protestors or anyone who disrespects "Our" law enforcement officers- were the same people who cheered for Hong Kong and Euromaidan protestors. Americans really seem to struggle with the belief that any aspect of their society can mirror the exact flaws of "those other countries" and yet all the evidence is very much there, and very much open. Like sure, I get it, this is a kid's cartoon. And I doubt this one cartoon will singlehandedly make kids like cops. But it both reflects and adds to amplify the biases of a society that is constantly and violently demanding that people "respect" heavily armed and violent squads of govt. employees who are- as you pointed out- not even obligated to do the one job they claim to do.
This is dumb in so many levels it makes my head hurt. I can buy a gun in my country. Your ass crown property. You HAVE to call the police in European countries for anything to get done. People when they are in a safe environment forget how evil and cruel criminals can be. Security is the backbone of society, without it people can never live in peace and make something of their life's.
@@sawcon3840 how is security the backbone of society? morality is anyone could kill anyone and own trusted law enforcement could end up just murdering someone tbh 💀
I know I'm late to this video, but you talking about Paw Patrol made me heavily think of how one of my animation prof's felt during his time on working for Rescue Heroes. They had to alter SO MUCH of that show art-wise because it was meant to sell toys rather than being a genuinely decent show for a preschool demographic...so...yeah. This...sadly isn't new in the industry and is deeply insidious on that front.
TH-cam doesn't prioritise new content like other social media sites. It's totally normal to find and comment on a video months or years after it was uploaded
I have a deep love for all animals, but I feel little sympathy when a police dog is hurt or killed by a suspect, and it infuriates me when police see that as a reason to retaliate harder. As far as I'm concerned, it's the police who are at fault for training and using living animals as weapons, not the human being having a natural reaction against an attack.
@@ethandouro4334 As I was indicating in my last sentence, self-defense is often an uncontrollable response because people are hard-wired to not like being killed (or mauled, which feels pretty darn similar) by large animals! Just because the dog doesn't understand the consequences of what it's doing doesn't mean someone defending themselves is in the wrong.
This is probably your best copaganda episode. It really shows that the police rarely exist to just enforce the law. Like if they have no reason to protect you from danger or theft, then why are they there?
the open secret of why cops exist is to subjugate people, to keep them in line with the status quo and uphold the white supremacist social hierarchy. this is how theyve always been used, since day one as they started out as a group to catch escaped slaves.
@@bbbnuy3945 I wouldn't even say it's just the rich though. Obviously some middle or lower class person doesn't want their stuff stolen or destroyed, so the natural response would be to call the police until another alternative protocol or deterrent is in place. We get so stuck on the rich that we forget the variety of the dynamics amongst everyone below them besides the clearly negative ones.

The "trippy" sequence in 2001: A Space Oddysey is the visual representation of Dave entering the obelisk orbiting Jupiter and entering faster than light speed, presumably to a location set by the aliens which created the Obelisks in the first place. As Dave flies through the cosmos, what he sees is what the human mind interprets as the stars and planets flying past him on his way to this new location. Dave catches glimpses of stars being born, galaxies collapsing, and other phenomena scarcely understandable to the human mind. In the novel, we actually get a more descriptive analysis of what Dave is seeing and experiencing. In a thematic sense, we can interpret this as humanity experiencing something they were unprepared for but might one day understand.
And yes, I own both the film and the novel, I read that shit in the 6th grade and stole the book from my English teacher. Sorry, Ms. Gango, but that book and the Warhammer 40K Fire Warrior book will both be enjoyed and cherished by me far more than the other ignorant lil shits I called my classmates.
Actually that’s wrong in reality the file for the movie corrupted and got all fucked up but they didn’t have time to fix it so they just released it anyway
I really appreciate you making this video in particular. Not because I care much about Paw Patrol (though my cousin's toddler is obsessed with it) but because I was still a child when it became clear to me that the police were not on my side, and I'd always felt dumb for not realizing it earlier. They put my mom on a psych hold for no reason (which even the hospital agreed with, as they let her go after only 48 hours, even though the minimum is 72, because it was THAT clear she didn't need to be there) and left me with a neighbor I'd never spoken to before, despite me telling them MULTIPLE TIMES my best friend lived right upstairs, and begging to go let me stay with her and her family. I can't prove they said no because my best friend had an obviously non-white surname, but that's certainly my theory. I haven't been able to trust the police since that night, and I always thought I was dumb for ever trusting them in the first place, but this made me realize I wasn't dumb, I was indoctrinated.
@@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090 Tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me you didn't watch the video. Let me guess, you just saw a video thumbnail that seemed critical of the police and got triggered so bad you had to jump into the comments to defend them? Lmao. Sad! 😂
Love how dogs evolved to become more cute at the expense of their independent survivability, while cats basically didn't change at all after they started hanging with humans. They were already perfect, and they knew it!
i remember seeing the review in the Irish Times in the actual physical paper, thinking the reviewer was having a laugh and giving the parents something to laugh about while they all suffer through the patronising material together, and the review sat at the back of my mind for years, only getting more literally correct over time. I will also confirm that as someone who spent two and a half years working as an animator on TV shows aimed at a similar demographic, the pay is bad enough and the schedules are short enough that you just do not have the opportunity to give a shit. Burnout is huge - the average age of animators in both studios was maybe... 30? Anyone with any seniority was desperate to get on to other projects with better budgets and more prestige, and people regularly bailed. Health reasons if they had to, teaching gigs if they could get them, literally any other job if they couldn't. I know one former co-worker who, after posting a tell-all thread about burning out, joined the civil service. And the studios I was at were the nice ones, with a pizza party every month! In a way, I guess that's one of the things that sorta ruined the industry for me, because I knew it was all downhill from there.
I don't think that police dogs should exist at all for many reasons, but one that isn't mentioned often is that they make officers act even less rationally than they already do. This may sound strange if you've never fully taken care of an animal, but dogs are a legitimate part of your family just as much as your cousin, or sibling or parents are. From my understanding, a police dog lives with and is cared for by the officer, they don't take the dogs when they clock in and leave them when they clock out. This means that they're not taking a coworker with them, they're taking a family member with them. If you thought that someone was going to or is hurting your sibling or best friend or whatever, of course you wouldn't think "well let's hold our horses now, don't want to be too rash now. What's the best approach for this situation?" No! You'd be protective and just act (especially if you've adopted this false sense that you're the only thing standing in the way of the bad guys like cops do, and have deadly weapons) and those actions get people killed.
I think we should take dogs away from police, but for very different reasons than you. The police misuse their dogs all the time in all sorts of ways. They use the dogs to profile and search people looking for drugs, it doesnt matter if they can smell them or not, they can say there was a hit when there wasnt, or engineer fake hits. Its shady. And the use way they use them as attack dogs is barbaric, i can show you loads and loads of videos of cops using dogs in cases they shouldnt, and letting their dogs just chew on people for minutes on end. And yea they attack the wrong people pretty frequently too. In my area an elderly man had a cop with a police dog as a neighbor. The dog chased the old man into his house and attacked him in his foyer. It had attacked their dog in the past as well. They are literally bred to be willing to bite people, and trained for biting people to be fun. Its really screwed up.
That relies on the fact that someone was attacking / hurting the dog, the officer should be able to protect the dog, and yes they might shoot the person attacking the dog, but what else can they do? Pepper spray would be kind of hard to use without getting to close, and tasers don't work a lot of the time, so what could they do?
I was not expecting the Paw Patrol episode to go so hard, but your points about police dogs being used to soften the image of the police were really thought provoking
I never thought I would find a video on the problematic use of dogs by the police by typing "what is wrong with paw patrol", but here we are. Not disappointed, super interesting video!
I have a seven year old stepdaughter and a one year old daughter so I have experience with paw-patrol and will likely continue to do so. I always thought that the world of paw patrol was a dystopian libertarian fantasy but knew the kids wouldn't understand that. However, the issue of how the show portrays police dogs is something I never thought about and is concerning. Great video!
So I don't have children, and I didn't know the premise of paw patrol until this moment. THAT SOUNDS TERRIFYING. A child billionaire (so easily distracted, probably inherited wealth) uses his billions of dollars to genetically engineer puppies that are the sole source of emergency services for a city? That, that bothers me on a lot of levels. That is like a Black Mirror episode.
My kids never actually watched that show...but nephews love it. I watched it a few times, and built a head-cannon to make it more bearable. The backstory I made up was that it's set in the far future where a planet of the apes-like virus made animals super-intelligent, but degraded human intelligence over time, but the symptoms didn't actually start to manifest until adulthood. It also drastically reduced the human population. Basically, adults are stupid because of the virus, they need kids and animals to do the intellectual heavy lifting because they're barely capable of caring for themselves...and the only thing keeping society functioning is widely available self-replicating advanced technology. It doesn't make it any better...but it was a fun mental exercise.
"degraded human intelligence" explains mayor mcdouchebag. (Humdinger) Jesus Christ I hate that character and everything he stands for. The cream of the crop episode I want to strangle him in is the one where he moans about coconuts but he pronounces it "cocoa-nut". NOBODY talks like that. Nobody.
As a childcare worker, I cannot explain how much I hate Paw Patrol. I can tell which kids watch Paw Patrol, because they narrate everything they do in a terrifyingly chipper tone of voice. "Oh no! The Duplo house broke apart! We can fix it if we work together!!!!!" That's only an exaggeration for some of them. There's also the consumerism. More effort seems to go into the toys than the show itself. Then there's the whole gender thing. The show seems to think it's progressive because one of the two girl dogs isn't pink. The personal responsibility messages around environmentalism is just sickening. I harbor a seething hatred for Paw Patrol.
I absolutely love your dives into Copaganda. Towards the end, you say "I'm not advocating for anarchy", Its my little hill, but anarchy isn't a synonym for chaos. It's a system without hierarchies.
I feel like we’ve been brainwashed to believe that anarchy means chaos by hierarchies in order to keep the lower level individuals in check, given that we far out number them.
@Will D. Barret the etymology of the phrase derives from the prefix "an-" meaning no and the word "arch" meaning king. the ideology that emphasizes a lack of hierarchy *is* the original meaning. the synonimity with chaos is the result of pro-hierarchy propaganda
Somebody please tell me this show used borderline mind control techniques to keep kids interested because I was obsessed with this show when I was 9 when it came out and I refuse to believe I was so interested by the riveting plot of puppies saving a hen from getting stuck in a tree. Rocky still the best character by far, bro recycles and is still the top dog.

Yes.

At least kids will also grow up knowing that trauma and mental healthy in boys is valid and ok,
and that boys everywhere should know that they're not worthless, and that they have so much to give just because.
And that it's totally worth it for 10 year olds to risk their lives trying to save corrupt politicians from buildings about to collapse,
and that cats are evil incarnate.
Fun fact about Chase ignoring his allergies and never taking them seriously, a friend of mine who works at a daycare has had to repeatedly explain to a kid who goes into anaphylactic shock from his allergies that no, allergies aren't like on TV, you need to actually do something. Tell an adult, take your medicine, etc. "But Chase doesn't do that and he's okay!" Ugh. So we can add "might actually get kids killed via complications from allergies" to this show's long list of faults.
parents fault. If your kid can die from touching a peanut, it's *your* responsibility to teach them not to touch them, not fuckin paw patrol lol
Blaming a kids show for that is lame. That's the parents fault for not explaining the illness to him. 😒
@@katelynbrown98 its not lame when the kid clearly looks up to chase as a role model. did you even watch the video????? its a problem in the same way that the show glorifying the police force is a problem.
Woof, that’s rough.
Actually, the PAW Patrol has an online allergy worksheet that says "Chase has to take medicine for his allergies sometimes" and the worksheet encourages parents and kids to learn about allergies and how to safely handle them.
The problem is kids anthropomorphize themselves as if "I like Chase, so I am Chase" even though the kid knows they are not a dog. But when a child believes they can be a character because they like them, certain things like allergy medicine doesn't even come to mind because they don't see the character do things like allergy medicine. The kids need to be explained those things. It is not the show's responsibility to educate kids on every little thing. It is designed to educate on certain basic social skills.
Is it sad the people making the show don't try to educate kids on stuff like allergy medicine? Yes. But if they have certain topics to teach, that is their priority as companies making the show.
The show does later on have the boy Ryder give Chase a "hypo allergy" helmet to help the pup stop sneezing around cats when on his motorbike, but it's treated as a "simple solution" at best instead of a more realistic solution. However, I do credit them with the allergy worksheet. That is better than nothing.
The best Police representation in a kids show was in Arthur’s series finale when all the kids grew up and got real jobs. While all the others grew up to be writers and doctors and all that, DW became a cop. She even relentless wrote one of her “friends” a ticket when when simply stopped in a loading zone. They knew exactly what they were doing. They didn’t have to say anything at all and conveyed their point clearly.

Your segment on dogs being used to cover up the police’s crimes really reminded me of playing the original wolfenstein, as I had to kill legions of nazi attack dogs and the whole time I was thinking “poor little puppers they don’t know they’re working for nazis, they just want treats”
Wow good analogy you sheep
Yeah. It always feels especially cruel to use dogs to make your public image look better. The dogs don't know about human politics or morals. They care about YOU and want to help YOU. it feels weird to see, because it's not really betraying or using the dog who is more than happy to go with it, but is that not uncomfortable? Dogs aren't the same as people but is that not an uncomfortable reality to face
@@leonineKelter using dogs as attack dogs is devolving them into wolves. Remember how at the start of the video, he explains evolution and domestication from Wolf to Dog, passive ones are rewardes, aggressive aren't, and attack dogs are opposite, basically trained wolves.

Children are a demographic, and they are seen as such by the law and businesses alike, there maybe categories of children, but this will not exempt them from being included in those statistics, besides, conservatives don't care about age, to them it's just a number.
One thing about police dogs, especially attack dogs is that the training and conditioning they undergo is dangerous to them too. It's obviously not as important as the harm done to people through them, but believe it or not when a dog is trained to attack people its incredibly difficult to integrate them into life after their service. Retired police dogs often have to be put down because they were conditioned to be weapons first and foremost and are often a danger to people.
the way police use dogs is very messed up. But they are also BRED to be WILLING to bite people. Most dog breeds have that trait culled out of them. In most cases throughout history, if a dog bites its handler, you get rid of it. It didnt survive to pass those genes down.
Most dog bites are basically defensive, thats not whats happening with police dogs. They are selected and bred with the willingness to bite people very much in mind.
Even just left to their nature, these dogs are dangerous. They're _bred_ to be that way.
Plus, the bite and attack training they undergo can cause chronic and severe neck and back injuries with all the attendant mobility problems.
You can do bite sports with your dog and they'll be a perfectly fine pet so unless the US does some extra weird shit to their police dogs this sounds like bs
@@Te3time the dogs are trained to be literal weapons, it's not for sport. Ofc it's different, it's way more intense. I don't know where the idea they get put down comes from though, the vast majority are adopted by their handlers.

I've noticed for years that Paw Patrol never has the characters, like, learning anything? Most tv shows aimed at preschoolers (the good ones, at least) have some kind of emotional conflict the characters get themselves into, they learn how to overcome it (ideally from problem solving, instead of having the solution 'lectured' to them by an adult), and the episode ends on some lesson or moral.
Paw Patrol's conflict comes down to "You have a problem? Call the cops!" so even for the standards of kid's cartoons the show is extremely lacking. At best it's a glorified commercial for toys, and at worst it's, well... everything this video got into.

As someone who's been in the animation industry for 3 years having almost exclusively worked on children's cartoons up to this point, I can personally attest that the mood from those animators is very much universal to a point of being uncanny.
I hate that it is legal for a franchise to make billions of dollars and the people at the top super rich all while the people who do the bulk of the work get paid as little as possible and overworked to boot. I'm not sure what the children's animation wage is but I am betting it's under median.

Like all those people saying they trust a dog who doesnt like someone over a person who doesnt like dogs.

Trusting an animal outright for not being okay with certain people isnt exactly a good guide for which people to trust or not.
I had a cousin who worked in construction get his entire paycheck stolen by a cop during a traffic stop due to civil asset forfeiture.
He even had his receipt from the bank where he cashed his check that match the exact dollar amount he had on him. And yes, this happened in Tennessee, not even an hour from Nashville
How is he doing?
Cops being able to literally just steal your shit has always been wild to me.
I hope your cousin was able to recover from the loss.
i have a friend who works as an animator on the paw patrol spin-off show about the construction dog rubble. they always tell me about how incredibly stupid the plot and characters are, even by kids show standards, and how their only solace in working on it is animating the overdramatic villain who they affectionately refer to as "bootleg walugi"
they've also mentioned they're under a LOT of crunch. if the main paw patrol animation team is in a similar state, that would explain the bad/re-used animation and complete lack of enthusiasm. not really an excuse - obviously, people shouldn't be under crunch in the first place, it's entirely the studios heads' fault here. but it definitely makes it all make sense

My cousin's family bought a german shepherd a few years back and named it "Chase" because (they were determined to convince everyone that) their little boy liked Paw Patrol (although every indication was that he _hated_ it). The boy bonded with the dog, of course, but this family has no clue about how to manage a dog like that while also raising him in an area of overstimulation with no discipline or training, ultimately creating a neurotic mess who clearly believes he's the pack leader of the family and is a backbiting, dangerous little bastard. Now they've moved in next door to me out in the country and "Chase" runs free. I increasingly worry that I am going to be forced to cripple or kill this animal sooner or later when it gets up the nerve to do more than nip and run, and most likely in front of the boy, because the dog is most aggressive when he thinks he has his pack backing him up.
So that's one _nice_ thing this wonderful cartoon has contributed to.
Speaking of which, not only should dogs not be owned by people who can't handle them, it should be viewed as inhumane to use any kind of animal as a weapon, the way police routinely do. I'd prefer they not be used in any regard, but their noses are _apparently_ invaluable for other purposes 👀. Attack training, though, is no different than using them for pit fighting so far as the dog's welfare is concerned, and is without question a form of police brutality when the dogs are allowed to maul anyone.
Must you all answer in the form of a FUCKING ENGLISH ESSAY?!?
But why would they wanna acknowledge how unstable police weapon dogs are (during and after retiring work) - especially in comparison to those oh so violent "bullies" they wanna ban - when they work for the police who've done no such wrong? 🤪 Bullies are only as big as a untrained, overwhelming shelter-filling, horribly backyard bred problem as they are because they're associated with those big bad poors and not our good police 🤪🤪
Police dogs are morally equivalent to child soldiers.
Admittedly this is an old post, but still. Nipping is a normal process when a puppy is teething. Usually, puppies will nip at each other as a form of play, but they don't have the control to avoid hurting the other dog. When they accidentally bite too hard, the other dog yelps as a form of communicating: "You bite too hard" and the puppy learns not to bite so hard, a process called "bite inhibition". For humans, responding with a "ow!" or "no!" in a firm but not aggressive voice can do the same trick. Additionally, having chew toys on hand can help redirect the dog's focus on nipping the chew toy and not you.
In this case, I'd wager a guess that the dog is not necessarily aggressive, but rather hasn't learned the proper bite inhibition. You could try the above practice in order to try to teach bite inhibition, but I'm uncertain if it will work correctly on an older dog.
@@rileycorrigan5593 When I say "nip" I mean just like they do when they hunt, attempting to hamstring from behind. This dog does not play, and is a bit of a lunatic even with his owners.
The worst part is that his behavior is more aggressive when they're present, even if they are trying to control him. Also, as much as I dislike this dog, their futile attempts at controlling him are just cruel. It's no wonder he's batty.

52:58 I believe this scene is actually a very poignant revelation of a darker aspect of Chase's character. Despite his proximity to the submarine remaining unchanged, both the sub and his helmet being isolated, and the water acting as an additional barrier, Chase started sneezing as soon as he saw the cats. This means that his allergy is actually a psychosomatic reaction, probably rooted in some kind of trauma and/or extreme rejection of the trigger. In other words, Chase is thoroughly cat-cist.
EDIT: I can't believe that I need to specify it, but this is a joke.
When I was a little kid, I got bitten by a cat, and thusly never wanted to be anywhere near them growing up. Fast forward to high school, I have a boyfriend with a cat, so it’s time to get over that fear, now.

THANK YOU for bringing up the use of animals as a cover. Police dogs are weapons, full stop. the fact that the dogs themselves don’t know any better is part of what makes them so dangerous. I work as a vet tech and the clinic i’m at sees a lot of the county sheriffs k9s. it is frankly terrifying how reactive if not outright violent a lot of these dogs are and their handlers don’t know what they are doing half the time.
I’m pretty sure police dogs exist to find missing persons and drugs and stuff

I work at a Goodwill, and naturally we get a lot of kid's clothes and toys featuring Paw Patrol characters. One of the things that's always bothered me is how Skye (the girl dog) is often excluded from merchandise aimed at boys. There's a very clear gendered bias where she just cannot appear on boy's stuff, like even if all of the other dogs appear as an ensemble. So you can add weird gender essentialism to something else sinister about this show.
That’s on the merchandising, not the show.
This is fairly common in a lot merchindise targeted at young boys, especailly the justice leauge. They'll include aquaman and green lantern but exclude wonder woman on things like t-shirts and coloring books despite the fact shes much more popular and well known. Not defending the show but its definitely weird adults creating this think 'boy can't have girl on shirt'
It's already really weird there is just one girl and her colour scheme is pink. I thought we left that kinda stuff in the 90's.
@@Lukkilikka Same thought. You just see how the show is the product of corporate executives sitting at a table and coming up with a generic kids show

Update: as of this video Chase has been suspended with pay for the armed assault and hospitalization of two pitbulls who were "resisting arrest" after being caught stealing a miniature bag of dog treats.
It’s ok though because those pitbulls had a previous criminal history-one of them was once caught for speeding (65 in a 55) and other got busted for catnip possession (later overturned due to lack of evidence).
Update turned out both Pitbulls where on the Sex offender registry!

I can't believe you missed the one other character trait held by a pup in the whole show. Rocky's sole defining trait is that he doesn't like baths... as the only pup in a "working class" job as a refuse collector. Childrens shows that don't have in your face messages are just more sinister about it.
Damn it's wild to think about Rocky hating baths as a working class job pup, like the implications of people in the working class not enjoying baths or being clean is just really uncomfortable and disturbing. I may be looking too deep into this, but like whoa-
And that he’s not smart

@@Snakepit_Media It's disturbing because it implies working class individuals are too depraved and brutish to care about hygiene. It dehumanizes them.
In senior year, I went to a school that was half a credit-recovery school, half a juvie school. All of us were treated as criminals, even those who were only there for credits, like me; sometimes those in juvie could switch to our side on probation.
So, of course, there were a ton of full-gear cops, who thought every child was a threat.
Every single morning, the first thing you do is (even on the normal school half) put all your stuff on a table, and walk through metal detectors meanwhile your bags, jackets, shoes, and food are searched, exactly like a US airport.
The poor teachers had to be the ones searching our bags, because the cops were busy standing behind the tables and making sure we weren't doing anything ~suspicious~ while we took off our belts/shoes/etc, and to search us if we set off the detectors.
They also had a separate station at the end where every bottle brought in had to be tested- so either let strangers do god knows what to your water bottles, or buy the expensive water at the school. It was a 50/50 chance you'd be let through without testing if a bottle's seal was still visibly unbroken, but a personal bottle stood no chance.
Every two weeks at random times we'd have to stand up, set our bags in front of our desks, and let two cops- one was a regular guard in the wing, the other a handler and his dog- go through the classroom to "detect" if we still somehow had something on us.
At that point, I was having the worst time of my life- undiagnosed depression, ADHD + dyslexia + dyscalculia (which is why I had to go to a make-up school) and chronic insomnia left me barely responsive, my clothes were baggy or tattered, and I was sallow and sickly from neglect + abuse.
Huge surprise: the kid who was languid and mentally ill and poor got flagged the most, every single one a false positive! Intriguing!
After the first two months, the fear of the whole procedure left me, I was mostly just dreading all the extra time taken out of my day that would have to go towards ripping apart my bag, taking my clothes, and making me do drug tests. I ended up just not carrying a bag anymore, and only wearing pajamas, because that was just more time for them to find nothing!
It was a little frightening, being 17 with all of that, but to some extent I thought it was normal and made sense, if there were juvie kids. But when I was on my way to the nurse one time, I saw the lines of juvie kids, and they were all people I knew from my old school, people who were only caught with a lighter or who pushed someone. There were only two or three kids, out of the dozens there, that I think needed serious help- those who start fires and kill cats kinds of kids. Even then, this wasn't how to handle them.
It all felt very odd at the time. But now, being an adult who's gotten very involved in far-left politics, thinking back on my school experience is objectively horrifying, one of those things where the trauma doesn't hit you until years later. The school-to-prison pipeline is so, so obvious thinking back on it, especially since the majority of the kids there were non-white, or poor, or sick, or pregnant, or had bad home lives, many with multiple. I really, really hope they're all doing ok. I wish I could hug them.
It really is disgusting how people vilify kids. In my opinion. If you are under 25 you still have plenty of time to change your ways and are probably a victim of the higher ups in your life- parents, school, just society in general -. It really is sad to come to terms with the fact that you can't just complain to the higher ranking people of your life and not be shrugged off or take ages to come to justice. Guess everyone's a villain to the government huh.
That’s just dreadful, I’m so sorry.
I work as a teacher in an alternative school similar to the one you describe. It's separated into 3 wings: a wing for behavioral/"criminal" students who've been kicked out of their districts, a wing for credit recovery/shop class trade school stuff, and a wing for students who have mental and emotional issues. Similar to what you describe but I think what sets it apart is the mindset the administration and teachers approach it with. The goal is rehabilitation rather than punishment and we're encouraged to look out for our students' emotional needs. We also don't have cops, just security employees, most of whom are from similar backgrounds as the students. It's not perfect, and I've got plenty of complaints, but it mostly works. I'm sorry that the school you went to was so horrible. That never should have happened.

this is gonna get personal real quick: one night in 2021, my parents were walking their dog when, out of nowhere, an escaped german shepherd police dog attacked them. the dog's human partner was nowhere to be found, my parents have never been any kind of suspect or committed any crime, they didn't have any sort of contraband on them, nothing, no reason for the dog to attack them. but he did-my mom almost lost control of her arm, and my dad almost died from blood loss. despite the fact that my parents very obviously did nothing wrong and that the fault was all on the human cop who hadn't kept his dog safely restrained while he was out of the house, my parents _still_ had to sue the local police department because the department refused to take any accountability. the cop who didn't properly train or keep his dog partner is still on the force, the dog who permanently scarred and traumatized my parents has not yet been put down with no plans to do so (not that i _want_ him dead, he's a dog, he didn't know he was doing anything wrong, but if he weren't a cop dog, he would've been put down immediately). my parents are very lucky to not have any lasting physical damage aside from scarring, but this is also a case that should be very cut and dry, the cops were at fault, but for some fucking reason, it's not.
so yeah, i'm not really cool about a children's show that glamorizes the exact type of dog that can very easily go rogue because its been abused and trained to think that it's okay to viciously attack people, and ACAB includes cop dogs.
(also somehow my parent's dog survived the attack. he was an eight-pound, five-month-old puppy at the time that managed to not get bit, scratched, no injury at all. he is, however, very clearly traumatized and scared of everything now.)
Yeah no they gotta put dat boy down. He a weapon. Not an animal
I’m happy your parents’ puppy is okay!
Dog do be like that. Lol I like my dog, he's a good boy.
I reallly hate when people act like ALL dogs are innocent cute babies who wouldn't hurt a fly. Not true, some dogs are violent (especially unfixed and fixed male dogs bc of the testosterone levels.) These people will shit on Cats for being "aggressive" but act like all dogs are cute and innocent. I hate it. Some dogs are mean, some dogs are nice. Some cats are mean, some aren't. God
@@falcon_arkaig absolutely. sometimes it depends on how they're trained/raised, sometimes it's just their personality. at the end of the day, dogs are still animals and can and do still have an instinct to be violent if they feel threatened. obviously some dogs have less of an instinct or are inherently less violent than others, but you can never know for sure.
A friend of mine who is a retired professional dog trainer knew people who trained the police dogs...most of them used abusive tactics to "train" them.
define abusive, because it could be necessary for reinforcement of protocols, IE, "If I do not smell the scent of this kidnapped child, I'm gonna get my shit knocked" 💀
@@Doctor_Grubious Hit them and beat them into submission. If you need to abuse a dog to teach it how to sniff out people, maybe you should try a different dog.
@@Doctor_Grubious That. sounds like an awful way to "train" a dog?? Or to treat any living thing at all, really? Also really ineffective, since that would just lead to constant false positive cues (especially if the handler is showing any suspicion towards a direction or object), due to the dog fixating on the handler out of fear instead of the task for the reward

You know, I've had enough of this cat specism in children's media. Kids love both puppies and kittens, what's this prejudice towards cats as if they're literally evil?
@RodimusPrime90 I've never watched the show and don't plan to because I don't care all that much, so I wouldn't have known about this.
Yeah I'd have thought we left that behind in the Tom & Jerry era, but apparently not. Cats Evil Because Dogs Good is still a thing in the 2020s I guess. Great.
(And this is not without real-world impact, as kids will absolutely mistreat animals they've been taught are 'bad'. A kid raised on shows like this, and too young to know better, might not think twice about yelling at and kicking a cat.)
It was always the other way around for me as a kid, people just cant let animal companions be friends
I also end up seeing a lot of conservative people have a strang eand extreme vendetta against cats. I grew up in hicktown and owned 4 cats, and id hear right wingers talk about how much they wanted to kill cats and would go into graphic detail. I dont know what thats about but it's weird and I'm glad I k don't have to live near them anymore, it made me very afraid for my pets
It's because cats are demons that will eat your corpse. 🤨
I've started quizzing my kids whenever we see a TV character interact with the police. Just today, watching Gravity Falls, I paused and asked my son, "Ok, Grunkle Stan just got arrested. He told Dipper and Mabel that he's innocent. What should he say to the cops?"
My son said, "'I have the right to remain silent. I want my lawyer.' And nothing else."
High five, kiddo.
(For the record, my kids are 14 and 17...I'm not saying parents of five-year-olds should do this...though...I'm not saying they *shouldn't,* either.)
holy shit, not criticising you in any way but this just really sinks in what a sad reality we live in
My son is 3, I try to keep cop shows from him and I don't buy him any police themed toys, I'll try to use your system when he's older though.
apparently in some cases "i want my lawyer" may not be taken as it should be either. heard "i demand/invoke my right to an attorney" is legally clearer with (supposedly) no loopholes. but who knows. maybe the cops'll find a way to spin it as just something the person said instead of. y'know. an exercise of legal rights.
You do realize that Stan wasn't being arrested by cops, but by agents of the government? The police in GF is pretty useless.
@@numbuh1507 yes, but I ignored that fact for the sake of the teaching moment...I figure they probably don't need to know how to resist FBI interrogations until they're at least 18.

Teaching then critical thinking skills and media literacy skills is so important!
Thank you for being a good and vigilant parent!
Tbh a lot of leftist parents should take that to heart - I think some parents think they can just give their kids the right and moral answers, but kids need to understand WHY something is true - otherwise they'll jump on any bandwagon that even pretends to make arguments later on.
Not to say anybody isn't welcome to contribute, but I feel like a lot of leftists could stand to have their critical thinking and media literacy improved...

Oh my god YES it aggravates me to no end when people say "WHY DOES IT MATTER IT'S JUST FOR KIDS." Media aimed at children is arguably the MOST important kind of media to scrutinize and think critically about because young children are experiencing the most rapid stage in human development, their brains are literally sponges!! They are actively observing and learning from everything they see, and it so important that we be aware of the lessons and ideologies our children are being exposed to.
have you seen what elsa gate is here ok youtube? it’s so gross
The "it's just for kids" reason works here rather than in other times because this shoe is not teachinv kids anything bad like all of you lunatics think. It's just a show meant to entertain kids and, I guess, teach them to be careful around certain things that CAN happen.
Upon rewatching this video, it strikes me that the same people who have cancelled or tried to cancel kids shows for showing queer characters got so angry about people making anti-paw patrol memes. I'm not surprised by the hypocrisy but it's striking.
They also threaten to move to NZ because America is too woke lol.

It's not hypocrisy: anyone who goes to censorship as a solution is authoritarian, and police propaganda reflects the authoritarian worldview.
That said, topics of sexuality, especially going beyond the biological facts of reproduction, are inappropriate for children, and poorly-handled by most childrens' programs (Bluey handles heavier subjects well, by keeping them subtle and _never_ propagandistic, for a counter-example).

I deeply hate that all characters in children's cartoons now have to be voiced by children. We were fools for complaining that fifty year old women voiced all of the young boys in old cartoons. We need to return.
If it’s a storied show I’d want an actual kid but if it’s like this or the Simpsons I’d agree.
I don't think the recent tendency for cartoons to get kid VAs are necessarily a bad thing; Aang and Toph in Avatar: The Last Airbender had pretty good voice acting and were all voiced by actual kids, same for the kid characters in The Amazing World of Gumball and the foal characters of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. And in terms of _preschool_ cartoons, Bluey's child characters have pretty decent voice acting.
The difference is that Paw Patrol is asking _little_ little kids (single-digit age) to do voice acting for scripts so simple that the voice direction probably doesn't go much further than "say the thing on the script." All those shows I mentioned have actual characters with actual personalities who deliver cleverly written dialogue. Paw Patrol just has toyetic cute puppy designs who all have the same character voice.
no that’s actually not a bad thing. i think it depends on who’s acting.
Just something I noticed at 52:58: Apparently Chase is SO allergic to cats, that he will sneeze at the mere sight of them, while being in a hermetically sealed suit. That's kinda hilarious in a really dumb way.

I grew up in a mixed family and even now I still had a mixed view of the police because of my influence from my white, right leaning dad and my black mother. The uprising after George Floyd’s murder really opened my eyes, but it was even more of a wake up call for me when some family members on my moms side living in New York were attacked by police just a week and a half ago. Long story short the police were called for a false noise complaint and they thought that my 60 year old non-verbal great uncle “looked aggressive,” so they tackled and arrested him and my cousin. There is no doubt in my mind that the police system is corrupt and violent, and teaching children that the police always have YOUR best interest in mind and that all they want is to keep people safe is very confusing when they’re shooting at children holding nerf guns on the news.

@@sawcon3840 I never said that we should never call the police EVER, but simply that we need to teach kids and realize ourselves that even though they shouldn’t, police have just as much prejudice as anyone else and that prejudice is encouraged by their corrupt system. If my house was being broken into of course I’d have to call the police, but not for anything that doesn’t cause immediate danger (i.e. a noise complaint). Even then they’ve proved pretty lackluster in that department too, such as failing to diffuse school shootings.

As an extra to your point about Northern States basing their police on British police at 1:05:00: In Britain our first organised, centralised police force was established in Ireland to brutally repress the native people being colonised there, then imported to the rest of the UK. This style of policing was used all across the empire to control first, and keep order second.
There is no innocent lineage for policing.

Regarding the accuracy of detection dogs, I have an anecdote from high school. I used to take Prozac for depression, and I had done so that very morning. Cops came by with a bloodhound or some other detection dog, I forget, to sniff our backpacks for drugs. Because my hand touched prozac, and I then proceeded to handle my backpack with said hand, they picked up the scent of Prozac on it despite it not being there in the first place. Worst part was, mine was the only bag they apparently detected anything on. The contents of my bag were dumped on a table, and I was very embarrassed.

I had to intervene in some police violence a few years ago, and holy shit police dogs are terrifying. And the fact that they're perceived as cute is even scarier. They are a weapon, plain and simple, just a weapon that people are conditioned to defend from any and all criticism.
Also, we should be deeply critical of fire departments and other emergency services, even if they're better than cops in some ways. Fire departments are often enlisted to violently break up protests with their high power hoses (which can cause serious injury) and even medical first responders pull shit like leaving trans people to die.
To be fair, the dogs ARE cute. They are trained to be weapons, not inherently so. Let's not do what people do to pit bulls and assume the violence is something inherent to the breed.
hanging out at a party once that had several EMTs present, and the "funny" stories they shared about how horrifically they treated their patients made me realize they are just as untrustworthy as the cops when it comes to your health and safety in an emergency if you're a vulnerable person. they were describing symptoms that, little did they know, were the same symptoms i have as part of my disability, and they were laughing in front of me while accusing people with my exact symptoms of faking our medical emergencies for attention.
and most of the firefighters in my area are hyper-conservative conspiracy types that are on the same wavelength of cops, if not outright friends with them. and my area has a long history of "race riots" during the civil rights era, in which the fire departments were conveniently unavailable to respond to the mass arson incidents in black neighborhoods while white people were driving out the black residents en masse.
@@pennyforyourthots No. Fuck that. I am not fair to cops. Those dogs are not cute, and I hope you never actually have to deal with a police dog and find that out first hand. I don't give a shit why they're violent. That fact remains that they are weapons and should be eliminated by whatever means are necessary and available. If that means rehabilitation, fine. If that means someone stabs a police dog to death rather than let it rip their face off, then I support that too.
@@58209 Exactly. That's the shit I'm talking about. You'll also often see EMTs getting involved in union busting. Lots of hand-wringing about "how dare McDonalds workers ask for higher wages than us noble EMTs" and no solidarity or sense that maybe the people fucking over the EMTs are the same as the people fucking over the McDonalds workers.
@@pennyforyourthots OP is talking about police dogs, not dogs in general. Don't think anyone is arguing that all dogs are violent by nature
Ah yes, the classic dogs are good and cats are evil take present in countless shows and movies for kids. Definitely doesn't have weird implications with the fact that dogs are seen as masculine and obedient and cats are seen as feminine and duplicitous (and sexy). Lots of weird gender stuff attached to do different species of pets for no reason.

There's a reason Bluey is more tolerated than paw patrol.
Paw Patrol could easily be made just... fine if Chase was like a paramedic dog or something. None of the other dogs are cops, just get rid of the cop dog. It would make more sense based on the whole rescue thing anyways.
@@DubsTV93 You don't understand how cops work huh?
@@DubsTV93 don’t you have boots to lick or something?
Solid
Yeah police don't do rescues, they're pretty damn ineffective at that
Yeah but then libertarians wouldn't buy so much of the crap
regarding chase being put alongside other first responders...idk if you've covered this before, but EMTs, firefighters, and 911 operators, while not directly as violent as the police, tend to have a lot of overlap with the problematic parts of policing, especially in regards to individuals being involved in white supremacist groups or applying bigoted biases against the people they are supposedly helping. (e.g. firefighters being buddy-buddy with cops in their free time and being involved in reactionary social circles. firefighters' history of weaponizing water canons against civil rights protestors, and refusing to put out fires in black neighborhoods during the "race riots" that burned down entire black neighborhoods overnight. EMTs having racial biases in how they respond to black patients, ignoring the severity of their pain more than that of white patients, or accusing patients of color or poor patients of being on drugs when they're having seizures or panic attacks.)
it's kind of a meme that "nobody said 'all firefighters are bastards'", but i think we need more discussion about the biases, abuses, and historical weaponization of other fields of emergency responders.
I may be wrong but I feel like those problems stem more from the prejudices in society at large and are not inherent to those particular institutions unlike the institution of policing which has inherent problems structurally as well as societal prejudices.
Like the fire hose use to control crowds was probably (I don't know) an order from some government and not a decision made within the firehouse and within their authority to do unilaterally. But I may be wrong if you know more. Whereas the police and sheriff's have systemic issues and will even fight against governments that try to reign them in.
Although I have heard the problem of pain treatment byedical professionals towards black and brown communities to be problematic before so there could be some institutional problems.
Certainly worth more scrutiny at least.
Yeah these professions run in the same circles but unlike cops, those other jobs aren't racist and classist by design. They're just the normal kind of racist and classist lol
@@guy-sl3kr i mean not wrong but also kinda missing the point. it is a systemic issue that these public services routinely marginalize the already marginalized but we ignore it bc they generally ("generally") do work we consider to actually be heroic
@@GrayYeonWannabe A firefighter who lets a black person's house burn down is a firefighter that isn't doing their job. Same goes for a doctor that neglects to treat their black patient's pain.
But a cop that steals from, beats, and kills a black person IS doing their job properly and as intended. Because using violence to uphold the (racist, bourgeois) law is what they're there to do. Cops are racist in a very different way than other jobs is what I'm saying.
I mean to be fair, at least in the us, you do need firefighters, unlike cops, cause at least without the cops, ppl can still theoretically open carry grenade launcher when going to pizza hut.

One of the most powerful seemingly small things I learned working with Holocaust survivor testimony was that it wasn’t until the 1990s that many Israelis began to get German shepherds. Earlier since so many Israelis were Holocaust survivors having a German shepherd or other large dog on the street would sometimes cause widespread panic. Dogs are the weapon of the most brutal scenes of torture I have read about during various genocides including the Holocaust and the American slave trade. A large dog can rip apart a human being, especially a child, and it is one of the worst deaths imaginable
Yeah, there's a reason the hot box and Dog scene with D'Artigan in Django set me on edge compared to the rest. There's more realism in that type of horror
And the IDF used large dogs since the 1970s.
Those Thomas clips sent me, wasn't expecting that. George Carlin's perfect delivery of "He's a henhouse, now!" had me rollin. I never realised how insane that show was in retrospect!
I was bitted by a dog, i'm a trainer and i work with shall we say... Complicated cases. i've had one bite that broke skin.
This dog was a husky, comparable in size and shape to a shepherd. he whipped around and latched onto my arm unexpectedly as a way of "correcting" me, as if i were a puppy in the wrong, but i'm not a puppy, i'm a human with soft human flesh who could at the time push 300lbs and deadlift 150.
Because the dogs intention was to correct me and NOT harm me he did NOT pull, he did NOT shake, he did NOT rip and he didn't even latch on like police dogs do. In fact he didn't move an inch. he just bit down.
And i was left with 2 1 cm punctures, 1 3/4 cm puncture, tons of bruising and a lacerated finger because i pried his jaw off my arm when i said "no, that's bad". There was fat globs bubbling out of my arm in 3 places. it barely bled compared to a lot of bites i've had due to the pressure pinching the tissue off, but that just meant more cellular damage, slower healing and much higher risk of infection compared to other animal bites. I had to go to a urgent care clinic, somewhere i'd only been to from one other animal bite (a rat who tore the knuckle casing of my finger) They RUSHED me to the back and you'd think from their reactions my arm was hanging off. I've handled many animal related injuries so I judge injury severity by the doctors reactions. I only knew it was bad by normal standards because the nurses were poorly hiding how freaked out they were by the damage.
It caused MAJOR interruptions to my life, got in the way of me handling basic needs as my dominant arm had fat hanging out of it until that fat died, fell off and the wounds closed, the antibiotics i went on were damaging to my digestion due to how strong they had to be, and the scars are the worst ones I've had from an animal. i worked through 6 sprained ankles and a broken rib without even tylonol and the dog bite still got to me pain wise WITH pain meds. they didn't sew it up because closing it so it couldn't' be cleaned daily raised infection risk.
And again. it was the absolute smallest and least harmful dog bite anyone could get from a dog that size, it was a half step up from a play bite.
As a trainer, and someone with a decade of working with aggressive and extreme dog cases; Police dogs put animals at risk of harm and are a method of terrorizing the public. They are not a viable or humane tool for police work in ANY situation and using police dogs is nothing short of animal abuse for the sake of making police look better because even the shittiest person feels empathy for police dogs (and by extension the police) when they see a dog got hurt "in the line of duty"

I love how the police make the dogs they use out be Blood Hounds, exemplifying they don't really care about using dogs for tracking. If they were really interested in using dogs to find things with smell, or just understood how dogs worked, you need a god damn smell sample of what you want the dog to find, meaning for drug dogs to even be useful every cop with a dog would need to have a sample of every possible drug they are looking for. This is completely unfeasible on the human side for a bunch of OBVIOUS reasons, but on the dog side of things we don't know how many smells they can hold in working memory at any given time so the longer the list of gets the better the chance they end up forgetting smells.
It's been a while so I'll probably have to research it, but don't a lot of police, or at least a handful, just train the dog to bark every time because that allows to search basically anytime they want
You... You don't know how dog scent training works. I'm a dog trainer and do recreational scent sports with my dogs and teach it to others.
One method of training is the "match to sample" kind of training. The other is just teaching a dog to alert on specific odors - this is really easy to do and you don't need any sort of sample. They do just remember it. They do need to be introduced and proofed on these odors.
Now, I have loads of issues with how dogs are used in police work, and how they often do not do the proper training which is seriously an issue with safety and probable cause, but dogs can and do remember tons of odors and can properly alert on them with proper training without a sample on site.
@@kameradin8964 i have heard from a dog trainer that police can and will give dogs false signals.
@@BVoshol yea like. Dogs are very much capable of sniffing out drugs, but many sniffer dogs will give out lots of false positives, and even well trained ones have been shown to get a false positive to please the owner
I believe they use shepherd dogs for fear factor and power rather than actual tracking and the type of work many other breeds are best at.

I just wanna say as someone who used to be super hyperfixated on Paw Patrol because of how flawed adventure bay was; Marshall being clumsy possibly makes him the most realistic character. They all look like puppies, but they don't act like puppies. Hell, Rubble looks like a fully grown dog. So does Rocky, actually.
But Marshall being clumsy makes him seem more like a puppy. Puppies are super clumsy and kinda stupid because they're still exploring the world around them and because they're so little. All the other puppies act like older human kids aside from barking every now and then. Marshall seems like an actual dog just... if that dog learned to speak?
and this is why we should replace Chase with Marshall. Also, Marshall should be doing the rescue Chickoletta missions because firefighters rescue people so obv.

one of my cats left permanent scars on mine and me mum's hands and arms, from biting real deep into us. like, maybe about 2mm past the skin deep. because she got the end of er curly tail stuck on the rails and she went into panic mode. now, the bleedings were pretty gnarly. and like i said, the scars are pretty much permanent. but if she were a big dog with more powerful bite ... i prolly would've lost a finger and my mum would definitely have lost a whole hand.
definitely not saying this to paint dogs (even just big dogs) as evil and dangerous or whatever. but it really is odd, when based on physical strength and capabilities alone, so many dogs can easily do more considerable harm than regular house cats. but no. cats are the ones that'll eat you when you die because they don't care, apparently.
@@mophead_xu TW: some descriptions of corpses and gore
Dogs will absolutely eat your corpse as well. I might not have seen it in person but a detective I know worked on a case of 2 elderly people who died maybe days/weeks apart. Sadly their bodies were almost half eaten by their own dogs-their stomachs were open and most of their bodies were also empty. The photos were brutal. I don't blame the dogs, they were hungry so they ate what was in the open, I just don't like that narrative being used against cats when every single pet could start eating a corpse when they were starved, even herbivores like horses
House cats are just miniature versions of big cats. Those kill and eat people all the time.

When I was an EMT, it was a joke that you could never get a cop to show up on a medical call (to like, control traffic/crowds, remove people interfering, deal with the husband with a knife, etc) unless it was a situation where you absolutely did not want a cop (agitated psych patient you just barely managed to talk into visiting the hospital) and then they'd show up immediately and escalate anything they could find. Even a few towns over where EMS is dispatched by the police (vs dispatched by fire) they could not get the cops to actually be helpful on medical calls. This is why I will never understand why EMTs feel any kind of fraternity for cops. (Also Breonna Taylor was an EMT. No sense of fraternity saved her.) Clearly this is one of my roman empires.

What gets me is the longer I live in the States, the more it becomes clear that the culture of police, and the average cop, are no better than the ones my parents and I grew up with in East Europe. The corruption, the hypocrisy, the apathy, the ability to get away with murder- they're all there. Only difference is (mostly white) Americans are raised to believing their cops are inherently "good". The same people who called for violence against BLM protestors or anyone who disrespects "Our" law enforcement officers- were the same people who cheered for Hong Kong and Euromaidan protestors. Americans really seem to struggle with the belief that any aspect of their society can mirror the exact flaws of "those other countries" and yet all the evidence is very much there, and very much open. Like sure, I get it, this is a kid's cartoon. And I doubt this one cartoon will singlehandedly make kids like cops. But it both reflects and adds to amplify the biases of a society that is constantly and violently demanding that people "respect" heavily armed and violent squads of govt. employees who are- as you pointed out- not even obligated to do the one job they claim to do.

This is probably your best copaganda episode. It really shows that the police rarely exist to just enforce the law. Like if they have no reason to protect you from danger or theft, then why are they there?
the open secret of why cops exist is to subjugate people, to keep them in line with the status quo and uphold the white supremacist social hierarchy. this is how theyve always been used, since day one as they started out as a group to catch escaped slaves.

The "trippy" sequence in 2001: A Space Oddysey is the visual representation of Dave entering the obelisk orbiting Jupiter and entering faster than light speed, presumably to a location set by the aliens which created the Obelisks in the first place. As Dave flies through the cosmos, what he sees is what the human mind interprets as the stars and planets flying past him on his way to this new location. Dave catches glimpses of stars being born, galaxies collapsing, and other phenomena scarcely understandable to the human mind. In the novel, we actually get a more descriptive analysis of what Dave is seeing and experiencing. In a thematic sense, we can interpret this as humanity experiencing something they were unprepared for but might one day understand.

I really appreciate you making this video in particular. Not because I care much about Paw Patrol (though my cousin's toddler is obsessed with it) but because I was still a child when it became clear to me that the police were not on my side, and I'd always felt dumb for not realizing it earlier. They put my mom on a psych hold for no reason (which even the hospital agreed with, as they let her go after only 48 hours, even though the minimum is 72, because it was THAT clear she didn't need to be there) and left me with a neighbor I'd never spoken to before, despite me telling them MULTIPLE TIMES my best friend lived right upstairs, and begging to go let me stay with her and her family. I can't prove they said no because my best friend had an obviously non-white surname, but that's certainly my theory. I haven't been able to trust the police since that night, and I always thought I was dumb for ever trusting them in the first place, but this made me realize I wasn't dumb, I was indoctrinated.

i remember seeing the review in the Irish Times in the actual physical paper, thinking the reviewer was having a laugh and giving the parents something to laugh about while they all suffer through the patronising material together, and the review sat at the back of my mind for years, only getting more literally correct over time.
I will also confirm that as someone who spent two and a half years working as an animator on TV shows aimed at a similar demographic, the pay is bad enough and the schedules are short enough that you just do not have the opportunity to give a shit. Burnout is huge - the average age of animators in both studios was maybe... 30? Anyone with any seniority was desperate to get on to other projects with better budgets and more prestige, and people regularly bailed. Health reasons if they had to, teaching gigs if they could get them, literally any other job if they couldn't. I know one former co-worker who, after posting a tell-all thread about burning out, joined the civil service. And the studios I was at were the nice ones, with a pizza party every month! In a way, I guess that's one of the things that sorta ruined the industry for me, because I knew it was all downhill from there.
I don't think that police dogs should exist at all for many reasons, but one that isn't mentioned often is that they make officers act even less rationally than they already do. This may sound strange if you've never fully taken care of an animal, but dogs are a legitimate part of your family just as much as your cousin, or sibling or parents are. From my understanding, a police dog lives with and is cared for by the officer, they don't take the dogs when they clock in and leave them when they clock out. This means that they're not taking a coworker with them, they're taking a family member with them. If you thought that someone was going to or is hurting your sibling or best friend or whatever, of course you wouldn't think "well let's hold our horses now, don't want to be too rash now. What's the best approach for this situation?" No! You'd be protective and just act (especially if you've adopted this false sense that you're the only thing standing in the way of the bad guys like cops do, and have deadly weapons) and those actions get people killed.
I think we should take dogs away from police, but for very different reasons than you.
The police misuse their dogs all the time in all sorts of ways. They use the dogs to profile and search people looking for drugs, it doesnt matter if they can smell them or not, they can say there was a hit when there wasnt, or engineer fake hits. Its shady. And the use way they use them as attack dogs is barbaric, i can show you loads and loads of videos of cops using dogs in cases they shouldnt, and letting their dogs just chew on people for minutes on end. And yea they attack the wrong people pretty frequently too.
In my area an elderly man had a cop with a police dog as a neighbor. The dog chased the old man into his house and attacked him in his foyer. It had attacked their dog in the past as well.
They are literally bred to be willing to bite people, and trained for biting people to be fun. Its really screwed up.
That relies on the fact that someone was attacking / hurting the dog, the officer should be able to protect the dog, and yes they might shoot the person attacking the dog, but what else can they do? Pepper spray would be kind of hard to use without getting to close, and tasers don't work a lot of the time, so what could they do?
I was not expecting the Paw Patrol episode to go so hard, but your points about police dogs being used to soften the image of the police were really thought provoking
I never thought I would find a video on the problematic use of dogs by the police by typing "what is wrong with paw patrol", but here we are. Not disappointed, super interesting video!
I have a seven year old stepdaughter and a one year old daughter so I have experience with paw-patrol and will likely continue to do so. I always thought that the world of paw patrol was a dystopian libertarian fantasy but knew the kids wouldn't understand that. However, the issue of how the show portrays police dogs is something I never thought about and is concerning. Great video!
So I don't have children, and I didn't know the premise of paw patrol until this moment. THAT SOUNDS TERRIFYING.
A child billionaire (so easily distracted, probably inherited wealth) uses his billions of dollars to genetically engineer puppies that are the sole source of emergency services for a city?
That, that bothers me on a lot of levels. That is like a Black Mirror episode.
My kids never actually watched that show...but nephews love it. I watched it a few times, and built a head-cannon to make it more bearable. The backstory I made up was that it's set in the far future where a planet of the apes-like virus made animals super-intelligent, but degraded human intelligence over time, but the symptoms didn't actually start to manifest until adulthood. It also drastically reduced the human population. Basically, adults are stupid because of the virus, they need kids and animals to do the intellectual heavy lifting because they're barely capable of caring for themselves...and the only thing keeping society functioning is widely available self-replicating advanced technology.
It doesn't make it any better...but it was a fun mental exercise.
Holy cow you liberals guzzle down special juice. Jesus Christ, get help
"degraded human intelligence" explains mayor mcdouchebag. (Humdinger) Jesus Christ I hate that character and everything he stands for. The cream of the crop episode I want to strangle him in is the one where he moans about coconuts but he pronounces it "cocoa-nut". NOBODY talks like that. Nobody.
Grown ass adult making head canons inside his head about talking animated dogs….aight.
@@SpookCheds yes, head canons are indeed inside one's head. Redundancy at its finest. You don't have kids, do you...?
@@SpookCheds So imagination bad? aight
As a childcare worker, I cannot explain how much I hate Paw Patrol.
I can tell which kids watch Paw Patrol, because they narrate everything they do in a terrifyingly chipper tone of voice. "Oh no! The Duplo house broke apart! We can fix it if we work together!!!!!"
That's only an exaggeration for some of them.
There's also the consumerism. More effort seems to go into the toys than the show itself.
Then there's the whole gender thing. The show seems to think it's progressive because one of the two girl dogs isn't pink.
The personal responsibility messages around environmentalism is just sickening.
I harbor a seething hatred for Paw Patrol.
It's funny seeing all the guys who freaked out about the sexy M&M getting indignant that someone would criticize Paw Patrol
I absolutely love your dives into Copaganda. Towards the end, you say "I'm not advocating for anarchy", Its my little hill, but anarchy isn't a synonym for chaos. It's a system without hierarchies.
he probably meant anarchy as a colloquial synonym for chaos? like not anarchy as the political ideology, but as the phrase.
I feel like we’ve been brainwashed to believe that anarchy means chaos by hierarchies in order to keep the lower level individuals in check, given that we far out number them.
He probably meant it as in the original meaning of the term, ie. chaos.
it’s a synonym for chaos, just look at the people who are for it
@Will D. Barret the etymology of the phrase derives from the prefix "an-" meaning no and the word "arch" meaning king. the ideology that emphasizes a lack of hierarchy *is* the original meaning. the synonimity with chaos is the result of pro-hierarchy propaganda
i always misheard the title of the show as “papa troll” and thought it was some kind of cute moomin spinoff… if only
I almost choked on cereal at this... PAPA TROLL 😭
Papa Troll honestly sounds like it would make for an interesting show in a way
Somebody please tell me this show used borderline mind control techniques to keep kids interested because I was obsessed with this show when I was 9 when it came out and I refuse to believe I was so interested by the riveting plot of puppies saving a hen from getting stuck in a tree. Rocky still the best character by far, bro recycles and is still the top dog.
No..
My local doctor still plays paw patrol 24/7
