A big part of it is also religion. By criminalising things that should never be criminalised, you corrupt the law. That corruption then corrupts those enforcing the law.
my video next week will be digging into that!
@@LeejaMiller Subscribed just for this
I think this is making excuses for cops where none should be. Yes, we have far too many laws on the books, but the cops don't know those laws. They don't even know the standard laws that affect them in minor interactions with the public. For example, the police have a policy to get the ID of everyone they come into contact with. The law says we only have to identify in very specific instances. Doesn't stop cops from arresting people for failure to ID when they had no legal justification for getting ID in the first place. Another example is the classic, " We got a call." A call is only hearsay, but far too many cops seem to think it is probable cause.
@@LeejaMiller Please look into Border Patrol, the only force that, as a Halfbreed, I thought would kill me during custody for not signing a confession. And no, I had not left the country, I had only traveled to San Diego...
There's been a link to that. Especially with how the IBLP targeting police and military with their evangelical views
The hours of DV training is astounding especially considering that DV calls are the most dangerous for cops.
Law enforcement, on EVERY level (city, county, state, fed... FBI, DOJ) are hired and are being paid to serve and protect the administration WHO IS PAYING THEM. We all know this already! Why do we fall for the narrative that they are protecting the public citizens or citizens' rights, or, enforcing the law?? The oath they took is merely a formality. They don't know or care about the Constitution. Many of them refer to the constitution with disdain. The reason for the big attitude and disregard for the law is that their goal is to further establish the POLICE STATE. WE NEED TO VOTE INTO OFFICE, CONSTITUTIONAL CANDIDATES WHO WILL UNWIND THIS DISGUSTING DEVELOPING POLICE STATE.
Totally agree but where do we start? We need lots of money to push the good candidates for public office.
My (now ex) husband became an Oakland cop after we were married…before he had even finished his training, he had lost his frigging mind & became an angry, falsely entitled, abusive control freak w/no self awareness, little self control & no empathy…also armed to the teeth with a frequently stated desire to use his weapon on “savages” & threatened he could kill me & make it look like self defense because he had done that at work.
I'm sorry to hear that you had so much trouble getting this video past YT's tos. Out of curiosity, have you considered uploading it to Nebula, they tend to be more lenient when it comes to criticisms of government and state agencies. I think you'd be able to post the full original video there.
YT doesn't like their "repair experts" get shown with egg on their faces. Got to make money !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for an informative presentation; unfortunately, policing in America is working exactly as intended. As another viewer expressed, policing was designed to protect property not people. Furthermore, we cannot ignore that we live in a capitalist society and every aspect of society is based on profit; therefore, crime, poverty, homelessness and any other societal ill are profitable. When you take a good look at the big picture, you can’t help but see the connection because the same stakeholders who manufacture the guns, build the prisons, fund the police unions, etc are the same stakeholders who are writing the laws. Once again, the law is not designed to protect people but to lull the masses into a false sense of security. This false sense of security, combined with the tactic of “othering” keeps the people divided and unaware that they are being kept on a very short leash fighting for scraps.
In general I agree with your comment, however there are lots of other capitalist countries and their approach is fundamentally different and policing is very different as well. The differentiating factor isn't capitalism, it's Americanism as in the issues are unique to America. No other developed country has anywhere near the number of deaths caused by police, deaths in custody, yet each society faces its same challenges of disorder, crime, drug use etc, it's literally just the way they choose to police it.
I do agree that the commercialisation of the prison system is deeply disturbing. 'American' made products made by prisoners, slavery via the backdoor. It's so wrong it's deeply disturbing. I genuinely don't think America is the land of the free anymore, especially considering it has more people incarcerated than almost any other country. China, with a population that is 4.5 times the size of USA, only just has more prisoners than USA. So you're 4.5 times more likely to be in prison in America, than in China which is nuts.
@@SeanHendy I absolutely agree, this is definitely unique to America. Like I mentioned, much of the problems America faces are due to the tactic of “othering”; this tactic allows the stakeholders to maintain control over every aspect of your life. This can be traced back to the first European settlers who “othered” the indigenous people who were already here; they did it again with the Africans who were kidnapped and enslaved; they did it with the Catholic (Irish & Italian) and Jewish immigrants. Divide and conquer, racism, misogyny are woven into the American fabric; until America addresses its past this cycle of violence and division will continue.
@@TrueDivineEmpress I'm very aware that I can only glean a small portion of the current issues facing America from research or from videos like this one, and even with just that portion of knowledge and awareness it shocks me just how many rules and laws there are for which there are either no comparative laws/rules here (UK), or that what we have is far more permissive.
Totally agree that law making shouldn't be determined by stakeholders but moreso should be consultative with those affected at the other end of the issue at hand.
The additional laws/increased punishments regarding heroin is a particular case in point. Using modern language, it was weaponisation of the law deliberately to impact a part of society. Here, all such drugs are class A (categorised based on its effects and danger), and as such the potential punishments are all the same for each in that category, not based on which socio economic group predominantly uses them.
One can only hope for a better future and that changes come quickly and effectively for all.
@@SeanHendy Thank you Sean for sharing your thoughts on this topic, this is the type of dialogue that we need to create viable solutions 😉
@@TrueDivineEmpress you're most welcome and can I just say it is a refreshing change to be able to have a constructive discussion online, which is sadly becoming an ever rarer event these days. All the very best.
Ithaca NY instituted psychological screening for all cops to address police violence - something like 70% of existing and recruits FAILED….
One of the police issues is that the job attracts the wrong kind of people and the recruitment process fails to weed them out.
Well, blame that on the woke. They have demonized the police and now fewer good people want to join.
Police departments actively seek out the "wrong kind of people".
Yes, but that would mean that they would have to pay people a lot more to attract the right person.
Another thing is the training is so poor, that they send people who are scared to death out there to deal with potentially awkward situations.
I have noticed that a few of my friends who have a lot of military training are way better than the non military officers because they are extremely confident in their ability to handle the situation.
@jeffshackleford3152 I wouldn't want military personnel as police officers. Part of the training to be a soldier is the desensitization to the idea of killing people. At least for those that serve a combat role. Police officers should not kill, except as the very last resort. They are not judge jurry and executioner. You would want people trained for conflict resolution. People who know how to deescalate a situation. Officers should not be people who you need to fear just as much if not more then violent criminals.
You cannot be a police officer if you are convicted of a felony in NYS
The censorship on this video is absolutely pathetic.
Not on your part at all, but entirely on these overly strict and borderline needless rules YT has these days.
I swear shit wasn't this bad like 4 or 5 years ago, and I was (unfortunately) saying the same thing back then so I feel like I should know better by now.
This one was definitely hard to get through!
I highly recommend the 6 part series Behind The Bastards did on the police
@@Nick_CF. - Yes!! I love the Behind the Police series. There is also an important episode called “The Man Who Teaches Our Cops to Kill” just before the series.
@@keisakura9014That's the "warrior cop" guy, right?
@@Nick_CF I definitely second the Behind the Police series. Also the Behind the Bastards episode on "Excited Delirium" which will make you want to [redacted] every precinct.
So let me get this right: we have billions to spend on the police, prisons, and corporate bailouts. On top pay increases for politicians. We have trillions to spend on the military, the war on drugs.
But when it comes to funding things that will help we the commoners [housing, universal health care, education, and universal basic income], we can't seem to find the money.
Why should I pay for everyone else's Health care, housing and education..
A better option would be to lower taxes so that people can afford their own health care, housing ect.
Trust me, you don't want the government providing you health-care, we have free public health-care in my County, and it's the the worst treatment you'll find.
Although I still appreciate the nurses and doctors working there❤, the choose to work longer hours and less pay to do a public service, respect 🙏
Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Yes, and in no country in the world are that much dead children and adolescents caused by firearms like in the us , god bless murica and the murican way to do "democracy" and to tell everyone about the hoax of europes "socialism" ❤
@@darthalghul6338spoken like a true a hole
Because your vote do jack shit nothing, it's have been proven with statistics, and the public media is own by rich, powerful people that also fund the politicians and parties, we live under capitalism, we live under the dictatorship of bourgeoisie, and the bourgeois don't want to waste money on health care and shit, they ain't making money from that, and that kind of thing actually makes proletariat less exploitable, because they don't need to work as hard to live now, and if they have enough social benefits, they might actually be able to unionized, and bourgeoisie don't want that.
@@darthalghul6338If you're not American stay out of this!
So they have the most weapons AND the least amount of training? That sounds dangerous
One of the worlds best civil SWAT/Counterterrorism Units, Germany's GSG9, reportedly has only fired their guns less than 50 times in 50years of service
But according to her, it's somehow our fault, for choosing to arm and defend ourselves. Make it make sense.
She clearly said it was the combination of: guns, lack of mental health access and many USA people being about $500 away from homelessness.
How about you learn to listen BEFORE critiquing. It improves your critical thinking skills.
@@vanquish421 Makes perfect sense. If the cops have such little training that it should exclude them from brandishing said weapons, the general public (that's you) would have even less justification.
@@vanquish421I didn't get that from this video at all.
Thank you for doing the editing that was needed for TH-cam to finally let you post 🙄 I always take away so much new info from your vids
thank you for watching!!
If you score too highly on the entrance exam, they can disqualify you. Police departments don’t actually want the best and brightest candidates. Those people might uncover corruption, or refuse to go along with misconduct.
Uhhh... THIS!
I think you totally made that up. Nobody can disqualify you for scoring high
Police generally cap out the IQ score at 105. The rationale being that if they are too intelligent, they just get bored and quit. The result has been a complete elimination of talent from the candidate for promotion pool. Cities are not able to promote from within for the upper management jobs in the force and must hire outside specialists and have a two tier adversarial dynamic in the force ( i.e. Unions ) or go ahead and promote morons.
@@r-uu2qi Some police departments are known to have max-IQ limit, possibly to filter off people, who may be having the tendency to "overthink" their orders and challenge authorities.
@@r-uu2qi I don't know if this is true or not but I hate to tell you this, they can do pretty much anything they want. Oversight is virtually non-existent. If it wasn't they wouldn't be able to get off with killing un-armed people.
I’m white, but man, I have been abused by cops. My first time getting pulled over (bear in mind, I was a young man who never got pulled over before), I listened to everything he said and didn’t resist at all. I had my fucking head slammed into the hood of his car and the dude stuck his gun in my eye socket (Not a tazer, not pepper spray, his fucking gun). Guy accused me of smuggling drugs and only when I started pleading the 4th and 5th did he back off. I tried to go after him in the courts and they told me nothing could be done about it. There are some serious issues with the system, I can tell you that.
Sad 😔
Have you ever see this Jake, Cash for Kids and Murder on the Tracks.
@@joseortega-us6rn Cash for Kids, yes. Murder on the Tracks, no.
Murder on the tracks is way worst, the gobernment is not necessary your friend.@@TheCrazyJakeAZ
@@joseortega-us6rn Oh, I’ve known that for years, my man.
We had a local boy, who was a "juvenile delinquent" during his high school yrs. He spent so much time in county jail, that, they made him a "trustee". After his time/and high school was up, another county hired him as a deputy. He emptied his gun into a hand cuffed prisoner. He was fired, went over to the other side of Houston, got hired again as a deputy. I heard [no proof] that he did a prisoner again. He was fired there. He comes back home, gets hired as "Chief of police" for City of Natalia. He died of cancer.
Total complete bullshit. Try again.
@@OscarLangleySoryu he is cancer. he died of himself.
This is a sad and sickening story, but honestly so common it’s not even surprising anymore. Kind of like mass shootings…
i dont think ive ever rooted for cancer but theres a first for everything
Makes sense.
In order to be a cop you need to be a sociopath, fully lack a moral compass of any description, and have an IQ no higher than negative a billion.
Sounds like this dude was one of the greatest and most quintessential cops in the USA.
My cousin was a cop for 11 years. The stories he told me of abuse of power and corruption were astounding. This is even in a small town.
Question or black cops any different?
@@59Gretschblack cops tends to fall in line....imo. they only say shit once they leave the force. 🙄😒
Small towns can often be even worse. Cops get to know people personally, and if they decide they don't like you, you're in for a rough time.
@@blackdragon6 Blacks are now less than 13% of the Population. Yet most large cities are lead by a black chief of police...... are they all in on it to?
Small towns tend to have more corruption.
I have a friend who worked as a police officer and he knew someone who joined the police because he ‘wanted to see some action’. How can you put your trust in a system like that?
If he wanted "see some action" he should've joined the Marines.
Wow isnt it like some cliche line from old action movie....i tought it was a made up
Nothing wrong with that. There is something wrong with you though.
@ashanaydillon8958
Lol the patriarchy isn't a thing and poverty is a result of leftist ideology.
I knew a guy who joined the military because he wanted to "legally shoot people"
Police don't become sociopaths, sociopaths become police.
Actually police become sociopaths and sociopaths become police. Sociopathy surrounds policing
They're not police, they're SS soldiers of the American Gestapo
Preach 👏🏾
Like the next guy said. The way they’re trained and conditioned is a huge part of the problem. Many sociopaths are drawn to the police. Many good citizens enter and come out worse than they started, and end up little better than those who entered as sociopaths.
@@mikeveis6393 exactly. bloody modern american nazis.
As a licensed nurse, I'm kind of shocked that police are not required to maintain a professional license.
Only In america is it easy af to legally murder someone
What are you talking about? Here in California you are required to obtain a California basic academy certificate which IS your LICENSE to be a certified police officer in this state and after typically one year of combined FTO and highly scrutinized supervision, will you obtain your full POST certificate that actually makes you a police officer in the state of California. On top of that almost every single agency requires constant training every other month or so to keep with laws changing within the state and even quizzed on such important topics.
Very misleading title by OP who of course has an anti police bias further propagating this propaganda continuing the us vs them mentality. Not our police. Tired of this nonsense
We are !
The federal and states politicians are to be blamed for the condition black americans found themselves implementing racist policies, procedure, and laws to benefit one group of people in the society. The benefactors of the system have prosper tremendously while other pgroups are still leaving in poverty. What happens to common prosperity for all citizens and equal justice for all citizens? This system is bound to fail if other groups are not included in your racist simulated capitalistic driven system. This COVID have exposed the vulnerabilities of the racist system to the world and no amount of money printing from your racist biased Fed will save it unless the system works for all Americans
Everyone needs to protest against those harmful racist policies that birth violent culture and slavery tendencies and demand for reform and change in policies or else the social fabric of the country will continue to deteriorate for both WP and BP without any
BP should NOT underestimate the power of domestic policy that create an enemy to justify pain inflicted on them through mass criminalization, mass incarceration, systematic killing, sepation of families, employment discrimination, mis-education and malpractices of justice to deliver lengthy sentences compared to other groups in the society.
The divided states have domestic terrorists in uniform and political terrorists in suit supporting and condoning the behaviour and brutal activities of the terrorists in uniform against american Africans
. The justice system is a complete joke designed ONLY to suppress, oppress, terrorize, extort and enslave those that come through the door seeking justice and murder citizens to perpetuate and continue create disparities and divisivess in the community. The supreme court needs to be dismantled as it has greatly contributed to social disfunction of the society with the display of injustice from the institution.
POLICE TERRORISM
Right?! I'm in Australia, it's bad here, but not as bad. What gets me is when police do something egregiously wrong and are suspended *with pay* for monts if not years while it winds through the courts. It's almost impossible to fire a bad cop, thanks to their milatant union, and in a pro union gal. Its completely fucked.
"let's get it straight people, the police are not there to create disorder, the police are there to preserve disorder" mayor Richard Daily, Chicago 1968.

@@KazeShikamaru By preserving disorder apparently...
He was right.
When you give people unrestricted power with little accountability and make everyone believe they can do no wrong it's a recipe for disaster
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
@@bfdzvalable: It is time that every voter, got out and voted in "All Elections", All the time, as our "Law Enforcement" practices are a result of who we elect to be our "Lawmakers", both Federal and State, the issues are mostly State and Local. "ALL POLITICS IS LOCAL" Vote - Vote - Vote..

@@johndoe-ss9bzEvery voting cycle the cops get worse.
And it doesn't matter who's in power democrats or republicans
They can charge you for filing a legitimate complaint on an officer. So even if you try to follow due process you're at risk of charges.
So I’m a union electrician. After learning the history of unions in America, it’s still one of the greatest ironies that the police have not only unionized themselves, but have become one of the most powerful unions with the greatest bargaining power - considering their history as union busters
By the way, Briscoe, what evidence exists to support the claim that a man is obligated to have a license or registration in order to use car on the roads?
They aint no union, just stole our name. Violence does not equal labor. It does not hold the same virtue.
I mean I suppose they could just not be union and then strike whenever they want 🤷🏽♂️
"This video has been edited from its original form. Police in the US are so problematic that we struggled to get this video past YT's community guidelines and limitations."
Never has a more damning condemnation been issued.
You can't say George Floyd's death in YT?
@@ricardblanc YT is iffy when it comes to death, no matter the context
When you look at the words that she was forced to censor, you see just how powerful the police lobby is. The censored words are obvious, and intended to absolve police of some of their worst crimes.
I love your videos, but I don’t know how, things can possibly get better, when one side is free to make horrible accusations against their targets, and the other isn’t allowed to even recognize when a death has occurred at the hands of the State.
It really pissed me off to keep hearing the words censored and guns blurred out, like why do we have to hide these from our serious discourse about what the cops do on a daily basis?
TH-cam needs to stop treating us like 5 year olds
Police have one goal; protecting property and money and enforcing state hierarchies. This goal can adequately sum up all current police activity and use of force.
absolutely
100%
Government doesn't want to change that either, because putting bodies in prison is big business... Whole foods uses US Slave Labor, many corporations do this to build more profit.
Private Prisons are regulated Slave Plantations.
Government gets donations to do nothing to them while filling their private plantations with bodies innocent or guilty.
This is government protects police, and police give government those bodies... One bloody hands washes the other bloody hand in cash.
At best, they're overpaid and over-armed janitors who clean up messes after-the-fact, while spending most of their time -writing- -tickets- raising money for their municipality and stealing property and cash from working people.
Nobody in my life is a police officer. I don't run with criminals, especially the state-sanctioned types.
@@magicwordxyzzy No it wasn't, where the hell did you learn this in school? The first police department was formed in Boston in 1838, followed by New York in 1844, hardly slave owning states...sweet mother.
I AM OVER 60 YEARS OLD, I AM WHITE, IN THE PAST 45 YEARS I HAVE NEVER FELT SAFE AROUND POLICE. I was a first responder EMT/Firefighter for MANY years, During calls I have seen the most grotesque behavior by the police, including a cop arresting a woman who was just raped, because she was crying and upset. Not only did he arrest her, he let the rapist leave and was never found. I removed the handcuffs after I found out what happened and threw them on the counter. I advised the hospital of the situation. when the cop got to the hospital he went ballistic, (The law is, you have to stay with the arrestee at all times. and since he wasn't in the ambulance with me, she's wasn't under arrest.) This is what the police are in the us.....
The big irony is America goes around calling other countries violating human rights as a basis to start a war.
Another big irony is some Americans are still ignorant , paying their taxpayer money in return for net negative societal growth (such as bad media and bad policing). Yet, some choose not to vote for elections.
The greatest power in my opinion, America individuals have is freedom. However, that same freedom is also myopic.
May the world be safe

POLICE TERRORISM
Yeah, I was disappointed Leeja didn't find time to mention Justine Damond, a "privileged" white woman who was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer _only three years_ before the murder of George Floyd. _No-one_ is safe around a brutalized, under-screened, under-trained and heavily armed police force. And it's by reminding _everyone_ of that fact that we get the political traction for real change.
They have ZERO accountability
I dated a firefighter for a while… and i can say this much. If I was ever in trouble or danger, I would call the fire dept before ever calling the cops. Firefighters are trained to de-escalate a situation. Cops appear to only escalate a situation.
When i was assaulted in my front yard, i naturally called the police. When they showed up, my assaulter had already left the scene. The police officers then told me that "We didn't see anything happen, there's nothing we can do." and they left me standing in my yard, bloody and bruised. Such things critically undermine faith in law enforcement.
Did you tell them what the man/woman looked like?
@@Trambulor-hz2de Absolutely. We gave his name, make, and color of his car. They just didn't do anything about it.
They quickly realized that they could NOT generate any revenue off of you and they quickly bounced because of orders from their "bosses" If they pulled you over in front of your house and you couldn't find your P.O.I. card then they would have been there for at least an hour waiting for "their" towing company to impound your car.
They determined they didn’t like you and didn’t want to do their job
That sounds almost like criminal dereliction of duty by the cops. Which city are you in? I can't imagine the cops in a major metropolitan area doing that so blatantly as they would at least pretend to open an investigation.
Cops should need an Associate's degree and 2 years of training and law-enforcement oriented education. And the "warrior cop" concept needs to go.
And, can no longer be employees of the State. They need to belong to the people they serve.
I was reading the book warrior cop on a plane and got an ear full from the elderly couple across the isle. His haircut told me why he was upset😊
Nothing scares me more when a police department uses that warrior cop training and the concept of "killology". The us vs them mentality and seeing everything as a potential target is so dangerous.
And during the 2 year training, not be allowed to carry a firearm while in public
Also, hear me out, cops should be paid more for competitive candidates and for the danger they potentially face.

Having immigrated to the US, what I have noticed is many people feel zero social accountability, but want to participate in *service*. Folks join the police because they want to participate in a history of prestige and protect what they cherish... But are terrified of what it takes to actually serve. Couple that with the awareness of how militarized the country is (i.e., anyone could get violent quickly), and you end up with people that carry a badge and a gun but are really just civilians who can act with impunity.
This was worded perfectly. More people need to hear this.
Well said

Often people who don't want to be cops make the best ones I think.

Thats wild,
I’m white and never grew up feeling safe around police. When I was 7 I saw my mom get assaulted by an officer at a wedding. She was on a medication and didn’t realize it couldn’t be taken with a drink. So when the wedding ended and she couldn’t drive she called them to help her get to the hotel. Instead they beat the shit out of her and charged her with crimes that where later dropped after the second responding officer said she never attacked the first officer and in fact the first officer threw her purse on the ground and slammed her into the wall when she went to pick it up. Eventually that officer was fired and my mom called the chief of police every now and again to make sure she wasn’t working there. But even the chief said just because she’s not working here doesn’t mean she’s not working a town or two over.
That cop shouldn’t be working anywhere unless it’s a prison work program
It's called "pass the trash", and bad cops do it all the time. Get in trouble in one town, go 10 miles down the road and work for their police.
There's no other job that comes close to the police when it comes to the imbalance between the power and authority bestowed upon those in these roles versus the expectations and accountability placed on role holders, both at the appointment stage and in the exercise of the role. This imbalance needs to be addressed, imo.
absolutely!

But a huge problem here is that half of America believes that training and extensive schooling is just brainwashing. And doesn't teach you useful skills like changing a tire. Also that a high degree of expertise in a field, often degreed, is just a hierarchy of corruption and free passes for people who don't really know anything.
Nevermind that when it comes to that half of Americans and their OWN expertise in something, real or imagined, they'll defend it to the hilt. Because of all the hours or years that went into their job or area of interest.
The lower half of the bell curve has too much influence on overall standards of American culture and the people they vote into office who will support their claims.
With many of those politicians knowing that a much more informed portion of that half of the bell curve would be much more likely to reject them. To where higher standards of general education would be problematic for their re-elections.
@@timothywade9618 We will not negotiate with terrorists.
Police don't have nearly as much power as the media make it out to be. They can't arrest looters, the ones with immunity are attorneys and judges, and they can't even attack people when them themselves are being attacked and so on.

There is a very real anti-black sentiment in some law enforcement and correctional facilities.

It's a big tent party, Catholic, bringing all disparate beliefs into a single apparatus, a Universal Order under the Pope, who is seen as the living incarnation of Jesus, to rule in his stead on Earth. Which is why the Vatican means Sacred Serpent, a reference to the Zodiac and Sirius, and emulates the Shiva Lingam, and a Solstice calendar.
The bible itself is a collection of astronomical observations recorded as allegory, a 13 house Lunar Zodiac. Hence the connection between Rosh Hashanah and the rise of Sirius, which Manhattenhenge also marks.
Stonehenge and other megalithic sites confirm this, embodying the same hexidecimal system. The Pentagram around the Pentagon denotes the orbital period of Venus and it's resurrection. 33 denotes the constellation of Pleiades atop of Taurus, identified with Isis by the Ancient Egyptians. Orion was seen as Ra, or Osiris, and Sirius their Son, El. Son of the Dragon; the King's Scion.

As a white man in America, I have had MANY horrible experiences with Police. I came within seconds of very likely getting killed once. The last straw was when I ran over a spike strip in the Commercial Truck I drive for a living in April, 2022.
I have decided to NEVER call them for ANY reason. They are just as bad as the criminals they are SUPPOSED to protect us from.
imagine paying taxe and not making good use of that money. at this point cops are ALMOST useless for the everyday citizen
Idk if you watched the video but they were never meant to protect us they just say that to get more funding. They’re job is to keep black people out of rich white neighborhoods and keep the prison industrial complex alive
No, they’re worse--WAY WORSE
As an interesting point of order, a lot of white Americans feel safe, or safer, when there is a police officer on hand. But that's never been true for me ever since I was a little child, and I'm a white amrican man as well. Even when I was in my single digits, the whole concept of police officers, people in dark uniforms with firearms who can take you away to throw you into what is essentially a less fancy animal cage, NEVER sat right with me. I always felt like I was in danger when there was a police officer nearby. And lo and behold, I've been routinely vindicated and validated on that for my entire life.
Yes - I'm a white pensioner from the UK (from the Anglo-Saxon stronghold of the West Midlands - not Celts, or Picts, or Normans - Anglo Saxon for generation upon generation), and I've travelled a fair bit - including to Russia and China, and even Spain back in Franco's day - but I just couldn't handle going to the USA, because of the highly militarised cops. They not only look terrifying, but we know they are virtually a law unto themselves, and act with little restraint.
Not just the cops though - the customs officers have a reputation for petty harassment. In fact all public facing services there seem to have an authoritarian tinge to them. They remind me more of Franco's Guardia Civil than the sort of law enforcement agencies we see in Europe nowadays.
(Full disclosure - I have never been there, and a lot of the info I get will be sensationalised. Can't help feeling that things we DON'T see are even worse though! If they will kill people on camera, what will they do when the cameras are switched off?)
The thing that really gets me about the police is the response to criticism - the attitude of “the ends justify the means” even when the ends are unclear and the means are unconscionable. Defending those among their ranks who break the rules that they are supposedly there to enforce. For marginalized folk it is even more isolating and terrifying

In classical rhetoric and logic, begging the question or assuming the conclusion is an informal fallacy that occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion. A question-begging inference is valid, in the sense that the conclusion is as true as the premise, but it is not a valid argument. Wikipedia
I am old enough (73) to remember when the police considered themselves a community service. They would help you fix a flat tire; If you ran out of gas they would give you a ride to the gas station, lend you a gas can, and give you a ride back to your car. I was white in a all white rural town in Minnesota, so can't speak to racial discrimination though Lutherans and Catholics were often discouraged from intermingling. I think that the "war on drugs" changed the focus from community service to treating citizens as potential criminals. If a police officer stopped to help me change a tire now, I would suspect that he really just wanted to look in my trunk for drugs. The "good" police officers I have known were forced out for not protecting officers abusing their authority or using unnecessary force. The hiring of ex-soldiers that sometimes bring with them a perspective that everyone is a threat needs to be addressed. Veterans have much to offer but may require extensive training and close supervision while they are transitioning from a combat environment to a civilian service environment.
I find that I get much less pushback when I criticize the police these days. Back in the 90s, I found that condemning any police activity would cause people to view me with suspicion. As though only a criminal would have a problem with cops.

When I was in my 20's I was going to college for police sciences. It was a childhood dream to become a Police officer wanting to help people as naive as that sounded, until one day I was walking to a friends house wearing some headphones and my cd player when I heard a siren behind me. When I turned around there were two police officer pointing their guns at me asking me to lay on the floor, when I asked them what was going on they told me I didn't respond to their calls when they were trying to get my attention, I told them I had my head phones on and the music was on full blast. After picking me up they asked to see what was inside my jacket, I said the only thing I have is my phone (a "brick" Nokia phone from 2000 era). When they reached in and pulled my phone out they looked at each other and laughed, they said they thought I was part of a Tamil gang and had a fire arm on me because of how it poked out of my jacket. Told me I should pay more attention to whats going on around me and took off without an apology. I was so disturbed at what happened I never finished my college classes and just went back to working retail, the whole experience changed my life and out look on the police and as bad as American cops are known for this sort of behavior, these were Canadian cops both of Asian and Hispanic backgrounds, it's not just bad "white" cops, it's just "bad" cops in general.
Two minority with low self esteem issues,and uneducated on a Power trip.
I'm so sorry that happened to you. The fact that they weren't white demonstrates the point that police uphold white supremacy hegemony in the state. For some marginalized people who enter law enforcement, it's a way to get closer to whiteness and distinguish oneself as "one of the good ones" to their white counterparts.

There are so many stories about cops getting the wrong address, or shooting dogs during a routine house call, or shooting _at_ dogs and hitting _children_ because someone called for an ambulance. The longer I live here, the more I appreciate the cops I grew up with.
Why would you be terrified if you know what the odds of having a physical encounter with police are. Or maybe you’re just a puzzy? The odds of being attacked by a “George Floyd” is astronomically more likely, how’s your fear factor there?
“I’m outraged by the way US police treat black people” perhaps if black people weren’t overrepresented in violent crime statistics, the police wouldn’t pick on them?
I hear you. I've had numerous conversations about how it would be interesting to visit the US as a tourist, but in all honesty I would never want to come into contact with any US police. I'm a retired senior detective (UK), I know the law, I know my rights and I know I wouldn't stand for any bullshit, just as I haven't on the rare occasion I've seen an officer acting incorrectly and I've called them out for it, even though I'd been long out of the job.

Constitutional Policing should be the strong point in the training of police officers, and to put high regard back on the police "OATH OF HONOR".
I've been a police officer in two states, and in both of my academies, I have learned all elements of the Bill of Rights. If you were to ask me now and out of nowhere what the elements are, I wouldn't be able to rattle them off to you as it is more important that I am familiar with the elements and Supreme Court interpretations of the 4th amendment above all the other ones because the 4th amendment dictates a LARGE part of a police officer's day to day investigations.

The training is relatively non-existent, and the duties they're expected to perform are impossible to effect adequately without causing continuous cycles of tragedy from crossed wires and unexamined bias.

Iraq and Vietnam involved genocidal behavior to back up colonialism or maintain the American Empire. No good cause there. War only to benefit the rich ruling class while the needs and opinions of the vast majority of Americans are ignored. Also "patriotism" has been hijacked by the ruling class to make the brainwashed American people think they are doing a good thing when they are doing the bidding for a selfish and sociopathic ruling class. US is a defacto oligarchy/plutocracy.
I grew up broke as smoke. I'm white but I understand what it's like to be seen as the enemy. I was never targeted for my race but my friends who looked a bit less white were. I remember walking out to a fast food place and seeing my friend aged maybe 9 at that point being dragged out and slammed on the ground by cops. There's zero reason to do that it got them nothing it got him trauma that lasts to this day a decade on. He was just in there waiting for food with me and gone. They didn't wanna help then they didn't wanna help when he called about his dad being an abusive prick or any other reason because he looked Mexican. When his white mom was convinced to call they came runnint though. If they all disappeared I doubt anyone would notice. We sure wouldn't care.
Just despicable.

RACE Batiting, Race Hating and White RACE HaTe is the Weapon of the DEMS
My younger son. (White) had a best friend (black) for ten years. They were inseparable. When they were eight we were going to a school camp out and stopped for lunch. At some point I said “These folks are starring at us. I wonder why?” D said “They don’t know why a black boy like me would be with you.”
Years later they were all I college and rode around town on the smallest motorcycle. Marijuana was very popular though illegal. One night a cop in a car tried to pull D over. D decided to run. He was hit going over 100MPH when a car hit him, killing him instantly.
Let’s look at D’s life. His father was picked up in a drug bust when D was four. He was found guilty and murdered in prison. This is what black young men believe will happen to them. Avoid police at all cost.
So what would happen to one of my sons? First of all neither of my son would have run. But they are as like to buy a Dime Baggie as D did. They would be nice and polite to the police who want to know what was going on the house they just left. And if the worst thing that happens as a first offender we would get a lawyer that would minimize damage to their records for job hunts after uni.
But instead D’s Mom lost her only child though I did hear she is helping raise his daughter. God bless all Moms of Black Boys in America.

Well as a black man who’s life has been ruined by the criminal justice system I don’t believe that this system can ever be overhauled. I personally used to believe that I was going to make a difference in society when I was younger. These dreams have been demolished by how society treats us as people. The older I get I begin to have a lot of anger towards white people and not all just the ones that look down on me. I was arrested at a casino for dancing if you can believe that. So I had security grab me off of the dance floor and told me that I couldn’t dance like that in there. I was upset because I told them that they had no rights to put their hands on me. Now here comes a state police officer doing a detail and comes up to me flashing his badge and I’m trying to explain to him what’s happening and he doesn’t want to hear it, to make matters worse people started coming over and telling them that I wasn’t doing anything wrong. That doesn’t work for the officer so he decides to take me into a back room and I comply but I’m getting upset because I don’t believe that I should be here in the first place. He asks for my id and I gave it to him he searches me thoroughly and when he sees my car keys he decides to ask me to take a breathalyzer test. I asked him why does he want me to take a breathalyzer test. So now he decides to put me under Protective Custody because he claims I’m drunk and I’m refusing to take a breathalyzer. I’m simply asking him why he wants me to take the test that’s all. So if he thinks that I’m drunk and unable to take care of myself I’m at the casino with five friends why can’t they take me home why do I need to be in a police station. I go to the police station and they decide to put me in a cell so now the officer that drove me to the station decides to search me again even though he was there when I got searched in the first place. So before he searches me he goes into another room and comes back I’m handcuffed so he reaches in my front pocket and surprise surprise he pulls out a bag of cocaine and now he’s going to charge me with a possession. I’m really pissed off at this point. So I’m ranting and raving about them being corrupt so he handcuffed me to a bench. The other officer shows up and is like oh I knew that you was on something and treating me like a criminal. Now I’m really ticked off so I told him to fu”” Off don’t you know those two officers beat me up while I was handcuffed not really bruised too much but they got in some good hits and then they threw me on the ground and I was put in a choke hold and I thought that they were going to kill me. On top of that they said that I threatened to kill them. This is the kind of bs that these guys can do to people and it happens every day. I share this story because that feeling of being hated so much that someone wants to destroy you and is capable of doing it really made me see life in a whole new perspective. The whole criminal justice system is just a trap to keep people in a position of not succeeding and a way of holding us back. That experience has really did a number on me psychologically and has opened my eyes on how little we mean to this country

well no.
Yep, in Germany it takes about 3.5 Years to become a police officer. Plus, you need to have a higher education diploma as well as being below a certain age and mentally and physically fit to perform the task.
At my gym in Las Vegas, sometimes the Metropolitan Police LV sets up a booth to get new police officers. I asked what are the requirements. The only requirement was that you have to be a US citizen!

As in higher education programming. These mindless nitwits the colleges are producing is scary.
'MURICA!
But in Germany there exist things like the suspicion-independant control (verdachtsunabhängige Kontrolle) which is an open door for racial profiling. Oury Jalloh, one of the more prominent cases of police brutality against PoC, was burned to death while he was tied up in a cell in a police station. The investigation took from 2005 until 2019 where the forensic report stated that he was heavily abused, before burned to death in his cell. His skull was broken, his nasal bone, his nasel septum and a rib were broken. Nevertheless nobody was charged in anyway for the officers stated unified that he committed suicide. Another interesting case was the NSU (Nationalsozialistische Untergrund), a group of at least three people (with a lot of external help amongst them undercover agents of the Bundesnachrichtendienst, the German equivalent to the CIA) who managed to murder 9 migrants and a female police oficer between 2000 and 2007, committed several murder attempts, attacks with explosives and a lot of other crimes. The investigations were quite difficult as the Bundesnachrichtendienst tried to obscure them heavily.
I think German police is not that much better, it is the rate in the USA that is so much higher. And on the contrary to the USA the idea that police forces do things like that to "our victims", Jewish people, is unthinkable, although it is well known, that there are many fascists inside the German police.
The father of my next-door neighbor was in his 80s, walked to the corner store as he often did, and he carried a paint scraper to get the chewing gum off the sidewalk in front of the place because it was annoying to step in it. So he was there, after buying something, scraping gum off of the sidewalk, and the police pulled up, got out and slammed his head against the pavement, killing him. They said they thought the paint scraper was a knife. He was a veteran of foreign wars, served at the same base my father did. But because my neighbor's father was black, these cops killed him. PLEASE DEFUND THE POLICE.
*Since several people have commented that they believe or do not believe this happened, it's not a contest. Are you seriously policing my comment? Very weird thing to do.

So you solution to police crimes is... make sure criminals just like that and worse can do anything they want unimpeded?
It's so frustrating. As a black man in America, the discussions that I have found myself in since the death of George Floyd have stirred so many emotions for me. New emotions, old emotions, and fears that I never had a name for. I use to believe that everyone's heart started to race when they see a cop. I believed that no one trusted the police.
I also believed that everyone got nervous around cops until I lived in a white “cop town,” where law enforcement themselves lived. The cops smiled at children and I was shocked. The people around me called them heroes and I wondered what they were talking about. Law enforcement is very different depending on where you live and what you look like.
you do not seem to be that thouched for thousands of equally black shootout victims whose number by two orders exceeds the count of black police victims. looks like when you see gang members your heart does not start to race.
If cops treated white people the way they treat black people, the whole country would have been burned to the ground a century or two ago. We all saw how white people reacted to being told to wear a mask.
I'm white as rice n I still don't trust blue. Force their way into my home, warrantless search, arrestin my ma after she was assaulted in her own home by a girl twice her weight just cos she was 7 months away from 18. Booked my roommate, black emself, just cos he was standin near a dude who took a phone off a store shelf. Never booked the thief for it, just him.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Better safe than sorry n assume they all wrong in the head rn.
That feeling you can't name is called PTSD BRO
Thank you for explaining it all so well. I never really understood what people meant by "defund the police" why they would want to do that, and generally didn't agree with it, and now i think i agree with them. Weird how historical facts can chance your perspective.
By the way, Sean, what evidence exists to support the claim that a man is obligated to have a license or registration in order to use car on the roads?
Maybe if they were facts but there aren't any in this video besides the 30% of unarmed black getting shot even though they make up 13% percent of the us population. And. The idea that the police was built as a slave farmer is blasphemous. And defunding the police will never work because look at Chicago, NYC, California, etc. every state or city that defunded the police is in shambles rn.
What blew me away was the amount of training needed. Just in Denmark, for me it takes 3.848 hours as an intern to become a salesperson in RETAIL. It's crazy how I could've been a police officer 6 times instead of working retail.
Why do you leftist males have such tough time being men?
Y’know policemen and women have to go through a whole school right-
@@GreenFlame2007 yeah, and they do 16 weeks, while I had to do at LEAST 20 weeks. Most people do between 20 and 80 weeks before they're even ready for an internship.
Danish police recruits usually go through 1-3 years of extra preparatory education and physical trainning before going to the entrance exam and physical tests.
The academic demands of the education are quite high.
@@erikrungemadsen2081 Here in Finland the entry demands are quite high too. You also has to pass extensive psycological tests.
This was a well done and very informative video, one thing that you left out though imo is the "type" of person the police attract to be an officer. It seems as though the good ones get run out/ run down, and only the "toxic" types actually stay. Because of the status/ power that it gives to these individuals.
By the way, Michelle, what evidence exists to support the claim that a man is obligated to have a license or registration in order to use a car on the roads?
@@Will_JC Ooh did we find a crazy sovereign citizen?
I myself struggle feeling empathy for others, but the police DEFINITELY need to be reformed.
Everything need reformation, laws and Everything. To be guided by a playbook that only benefits a handful of us is ludicrous in 2023, We are to be govern by a Constitution that was written in 1812. ( idk if that's when it was written but it's old as hell is my point.) Our world is changing, and history will repeat itself if we don't change it. No more can we sit on our hands and wish for better outcomes and continue to say we are the greatest country in the world. Give us reasons to salute the flag. When it's Justice for all and not for some. Congress needs to be replaced and revised, Supreme Court needs to be revised, all the things that don't help us to create a More Perfect Union. I wanna believe I'm an American but not like this, my people were brought here by shackles and chains and in alot of ways we're still in shackles and chains. Still being hung in trees , still ask to show our freedom papers in neighborhoods were they say we aren't welcomed. Who on earth would wanna live like that. It's not fair for anyone of us..
Wow..SMDH!
No the leftist police need reform.
Good luck reforming the police structures of the USA. The oldest democracy so the most archaic constitution, but ultimately the one that everybody has sort of copied. The separation of church and state is its earliest form. Local law enforcement is supposed to the final say in arrests and warrants, unlike some other places.

Add to all of this, people are drawn to law enforcement, who shouldn't be in law enforcement.
Also, from what I understand, the people who are drawn to it from a desire to ACTUALLY serve and protect the community don't last long. Either cuz they get shaken off by design, or because they make the mistake of reporting their fellows when they do fucked shit and end up unalived or chased out for it.
I have no idea what it feels like to be a targeted African American. I can try and understand. What I do know is that I was sent to the ER because of two corrupt rogue police officers. I heard them say things and do things that were completely unethical and abusive. I understand how you feel around them, I can understand this struggle.
African-Americans are not targeted by police anymore than men are, who also gets stopped arrested and have violent interactions more often. Or young people as another group, white males have way more interaction with police than old Black people. The police interact Most often with people breaking the law in all groups are not equally represented
I appreciate your vulnerability. One thing I think about is how it's not only black people who feel afraid. I mean Latinos are terrified too. If they get stopped by the police without an ID on them in some places in the US, they can end up in an immigration camp. Like WTF.

to be fair all police are corrupt. as individuals i’m sure many are nice, but many are heinous humans and the uniform changes the nice ones.
the head of police in a state in australia, nsw, said he’d be okay with his young children being strip searched when there was backlash about police strip searching children (and supposedly have kpi’s to reach in regards to strip searching) also had an asinine idea about creating an app for consent (showing they didn’t understand consent, rape or sex).
not to mention every police force in the world has an entire department fired every few years because of corruption. and a big issue in commonwealth nations is that the police force are just another form of the royal families protection. police in these nations exist to further colonialism and white supremacy.
you’re not alone us. acab and defund the police.
The last 10 years have been an eye opener for me. What I've earned is that not everything is about race, but racism is intertwined with everything in the United States.
Racism is intertwined in biological nature and can be seen in every level of animal relations. It's not just a united States thing, it's not even just a human thing. It needs to be fought through everyday interactions with everyone you meet. We are all ambassadors of the stereotypes associated with who we are and breaking those stereotypes starts with you.
Research Racism in other countries if you think the US is abnormally racist. Mexico, South America, China, Africa, Russia, they're all racist but for some reason the focus is on the US. Maybe they want us to be divided so they encourage the stereotype that the US is extremely racist. I don't know but you can do your part in fighting that stereotype.
🎯🎯🎯
Racism isn't intertwined with everything get a real education.

The bit at 5:28 absolutely blew my mind to the point where I got a little emotional. As an American, the concept of policing by consent was non-existent before hearing this. Like an alien idea I didn't even know I didn't know because all I've ever seen in this country is policing out of fear, intimidation and private interest. It's insane
let me sell you Eiffel Tower
I grew up in the UK and my interaction with the police was basically just asking them for directions. The rare occasions seeing armed police makes me uncomfortable.
I've since moved to northern Sweden where the police are armed, but we virtually never see them. Not seeing police also makes me feel safer too. The idea that, for the most part, society doesn't need policing is by far the best solution
@@Zircadraeya different countries have different issues. What this TH-camr won’t tell you is that black crime in US is disproportionally higher than their population. For example, black Americans make up 12% of US population but are responsible for 50% of homicides each year. How would you keep neighborhoods safe from criminals who kill? And if you going to bring up banning guns. Then keep in mind most of these criminals don’t have registered guns ie illegal weapons.
i had the exact same reaction (i'm from VA). not once in my life before this video had i ever heard the words "policing by consent." sh*t's wild over here
What would this concept be like, Policing the Police?
"Their legitimacy is contingent on public approval of their actions" - I'm concerned that in some towns and cities, the local public does approve of the excessive force used in police interactions.
I don't view them as legitimate, so much, they're just the wholly inadequate organ that exists.
when you're dealing with animals, you treat them like animals. from what i see from yt reports and comments, bunch of cities in US are already on brink of collapse and overrun by drug addicts and gangbangers. good luck dealing with this without force. nothing short of a idealistic dream

I know how bad the Minneapolis cops are personally. I used to live in Dinkytown and worked at City Pages as a columnist many years ago. I also worked at the Renaissance Festival. Sometimes, when I worked both jobs, I would ride my bike from Minneapolis to Shakopee. One afternoon, while biking to the site, I was barely outside the city limits, when a Minneapolis cop stopped me. I was accused of stealing a purple bike, according to the cop. While I was riding a purple bike, it was MY bike. He demanded I identify myself, which I refused. Another cop showed and demanded the same things and, again, I refused. I was arrested on the spot for resisting arrest and not following orders. I knew it was bullshit, and I had to call the then director of the festival to let him know what had happened to me. He was generous enough to come and get me and paid my bail. I contacted the MCLU and told them what happened to me. The police apologised and expunged my record. I also got a $10K settlement, because I threatened to take the matter public and, being a member of the media, I had the ability to make the entire episode very ugly. They never bother me again for the rest of time I lived there. I was lucky to have been a member of the press. As a person of colour, I could have only imagined what may have happened to me if I wasn't a member of the press.
It was one of the many, many reasons that, when I finally had the chance, I moved out of the US. Where I live currently in Glasgow, Scotland, I don't have to worry about the police gunning me down. I will also give an example of how the Police Scotland approached me one morning. About 15 years ago, my mother passed away. I was speaking with my attorney in the states, and she asked me whether I wanted to give my number to any of my relatives. Since a couple of them already had my number, I said not to pass it on to anyone else. A couple of days later, a cousin from when I wanted no contact called me. The problem was that she woke me up, and there was a time zone difference between Chicago and Glasgow (obviously). Impervious to my protestations about being woken and wondering how she got my number and why she was calling me, this quickly turned into a shouting match. A few minutes into this tirade, I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and saw a couple of cops. One stated that there was a report of shouting and wanted to know if everything was alright. I told the cops what was going one all the while my cousin Delia was still screaming at top of her lungs, which was loud enough for them to hear it. So I set the phone to speaker, so they could hear her as well. When I said that the police are now listening to her, she stated that she would call back and hung up. The cops in Glasgow were very professional and sympathetic to my issue, and they didn't give me a warning to keep the noise down, except to not speak to someone who was unspeakably rude. I can only imagine what could have happened to me if this had happened in the states; I probably would be dead.
Yeah, racial issues in MN are completely fucked, and all our cops suck.

I'm 65 and have two younger brothers that are career cops; I haven't spoken to them very much in over 40 years because I've witnessed their true colors (only blue) and what they evolved into -from the start! For example, I live close to a police station and always witness the rescue going to the station. I once told one of my brothers, "They probably beat someone up." as an ambulance passed by on the way to the station. His response was, "They probably deserve it." Cops have been running roughshod for centuries; it's time to hold them accountable. And smartphones, technology, and cameras will do it. However, the other big hurdle is still the institution of law enforcement (Tin blue line - Unions) and the judicial system (qualified Immunity).
I often view those police interaction videos on TH-cam. What really irritates me is the police demanding your information, as if they are the Gestopo. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we still have a 5th Amendment which says I have to give no information.
Do your brother work in the same department? I personally know police and they wouldn’t behave in the way that you describe them, however I would imagine that it is a common mindset to have in certain departments.
@captaincrafterstudios2581 sure because you know what they are like at work
@@dm7561 they are professional in the work as well, so it not as if they have a on or off switch. Other than acting more professional and formal.
OR!!! people who get arrested still have to deal with their own medical concerns they had prior to going to jail and needing to be medically cleared.
These officers usually don't even know the community they're actually policing. When my older brother was a teenager and was skating around outside, he told us he got stopped close to our house by a MPD officer in a squad car inquiring if he basically belonged there. As an adult, he mentioned he had a gun pulled on him when an officer came up to his window to start what he believed was a regular traffic stop without provocation. He does not have a violent criminal record nor is he an abrasive individual. (The type of guy that's that's always laughing/bubbly and making friends). I'm happy it didn't escalate, but it's fucked up still bc it doesn't end well for everybody and there's still a trauma you would carry even if you have such a negative interaction.
"Legitimacy by consent"... it's a brilliant standard. Unfortunately, they appear to have the consent of their employers to treat the population as property.

Just glad they didn't do anything to either of us but that really did make my anxiety skyrocket.
One of the more critical issues I didn't see mentioned is the lack of accountability. The "self-policing" policies that are the norm in all police departments. Whenever any kind of complaint is made against any officer it is investigated by one of their own. They "investigate" themselves and surprisingly usually find either no violation of law or policy occurred or it is downgraded to a minor violation. The truth of the matter is if self-policing worked we wouldn't even need police. If I was accused of a crime, I would just investigate myself and whatever conclusion I came to we would go from there. When you say it like that it just sounds incredibly stupid. It's just as stupid to think it's any different when police do it.
Very true word's..
It's worse. Cops often retaliate against people who file complaints.
Ask me how I know that one...
There was a lot missing from this video but I dont fault the creator. I have a feeling she covered as much as she was allowed to by the censors.
And another thing: I'm as white as the day is long, and when I was in my 20s I was slapped hard across the face by a male cop (it left bruises on my face) and both wrists sprained on Christmas day when I was driving "too slowly" on a side street in the snow. They pulled me over, insisted I get out of the car, I refused unless they gave me a reason. They wanted to test my breath to see if I had been drinking. I had not been drinking. There was several inches of snow on the ground and I was being cautious. Once we were at the station, I told them I was pressing charges for assault, but if they dropped this and let me go I would drop the charges. So they let me go and I lost my job as a waitress because I could not carry anything with sprained wrists. I followed up on that cop and found out he had asaulted other women before and after me. Had I been more informed I would have taken it to the district attorney. I had done nothing wrong. It traumatized me so badly that the couple of times I've been pulled over later in my life - tail light not working (but it was) and expired tags once - I burst into tears and couldn't stop crying. ACAB.
I want a world where they would give you a good driver citation and a gift certificate for going a safe speed in the snow. "We noticed you setting a good example." People drive like maniacs on snow and ice.
Friend of mine was told that if they sued the police for harassment, for the rest of their lives they would have to look behind their backs because police was going to make sure they be punished.. they didn't sue. 😑
@@Jozamendo It seems like they punish us anyway. I hope we can disarm them to put us on even ground and take power out of their hands, use a system like one of the other countries where they aren't armed and they are chosen by the people.
I was talking to a cop once and he legit grabbed my arm for no reason. I had such a bad fight or flight reflex at that moment
I think I remember reading that police "unions" aren't actual unions. They're not federally registered or have ever filed anything with the NLRB yet they can collectively bargain like they are a union. Absolutely wild.
You don't actually have to be registered with either as a union, though registering with them does grant additional protections from what i'm reading. Of course, that definitely makes one thing clear - they do not feel they need those protections, which makes sense. They are too powerful, they do not need additional protections at the cost of literally anything.
Idealistically Police Unions have historically been actively hostile to the Labor Rights Movement, and modern police unions are not associated with the AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations), which is the sort of super union for different trade professions, nor do they have indirect ties (Contrast the NEA, (National Educator's Association) which isn't part of the AFL-CIO but has strong direct ties and in larger districts has comembership agreements with the AFT (American Federation of Teachers), which is an AFL subsidiary). In general union organizations have no real interest in associating with police, given that police, as enforcers of status quo, are historically and presently likely to be called in against union actions.
Police Unions are truly one of the main reasons why things are getting worse and not better
Police unions absolutely are not part of the labor movement. They

I'm sorry that happened to you. I hope you get justice
But some of the facts in the video is false.
Firstly, you can't compare European countries statistics to a country that has 3 Maybe 4 times the population.
The USA also vastly differs in the amount of crime per capita, and that includes violent crime like murder and rape.
And just an FYI, and this is public available statistics, you are more likely to get shot be a cop as a white male than a black male.
There are more white men that gets shot by cops per year in comparison to black males. Strange right?
I keep saying a lot of society has advanced forward except police. I don't want some high school graduate pulling me over who barely knows the law and barely a 10th grade reading level. A person I know who is not the brightest is now a police officer. That person could barely think ahead and follow instructions, how is this person going to do such a job well and competently? We need 3 -4 years of training for this job not a few weeks and a high school diploma
So apply.
I feel like requiring 3-4 years of training would actually be a good way to get a transition started. Set a deadline 3-4 years out, and any _new_ police officers who want to be hired after that date must have gone through the training in order to apply. Sure, the old guard will still be around, but within a generation they will be phased out and have been completely replaced with a higher quality standard of police.
@@AMBROSE6915 One person applying to be a police officer *would* fix the systemic problem Hector outlined above; Damn you're smart!
A singular hire *would* negate the entire force being poorly educated and unqualified for the positions of authority they hold over us. Why didn't we think of that?
@@leyruaI actually really like this solution, but we should also crack down on crimes committed by those old guard officers to speed up the effects of that reform.
@@steventatlock5443 It starts with one.
They are so “bad” because they are not required to protect or serve anyone but themselves.
They get to break the law they are supposed to enforce. They aren’t even required to know ANY laws and get to run and do anything they want and get tacit permission to do it with “Qualified Immunity “
When they are questioned, they “investigate themselves” and 99% of the time find they have done nothing wrong. (even when they don’t follow their own policies!)
By the way, Jose, what evidence exists to support the claim that a man is obligated to have a license or registration in order to use a car on the roads?
Well said. COPS are all corrupt and all have a major attitude problem and always get a pass when they break the law, which is all the time. It's time that more COPS end up in jail for the way they treat average citizens.
Ive only had a run in with the police once, thankfully, but even then it was insane and horrifying, whenever i think about the fact that friends, cousins and others are dealt with in the same way with more aggression absolutely makes my heart drop, it spawns fear for my family at the mention of police, and i think the warning at the beginning of the video just says it all really, for everyone's experiences with the police, my run in was when i was just out on a walk collecting myself, a family member thought i was going to hurt myself and so they called the police, i kid you not, walking by myself, 4 squad cars pulled up on me with 6 officers surrounding me, simply because i was on a walk and having a mental health problem trying to calm myself
When you think of yourself as a_HAMMER- ( cops ) everyone one else ( citizens ) are a-NAIL.

The police, correction officers,and for the most part the military ,is nothing but a job program for lower economic class people with a high school education, of European descent. This is a true case of when you don't get what you pay for,and the recipient of this largess,get more than they deserve. They couldn't replace that income or retirement program nowhere.And that why you have a surplus of officers,even now days attending to,what might be traffic violations.
Lol calling the cops on someone who is suicidal is basically just saving them the trouble of offing themselves because they will do it for them
@@beershits9340 A general rule of thumb is don't ever call the police unless the situation warrants a potential death sentence.
“Whatever you do, don’t call the police!” Is what you rarely hear in a developed country.

@Helperbot-jy1mm may I ask why ambulances?
@@KMF451 because it not only costs money to call one in the us, but iirc hundreds of dollars at that, so it is frequent to for example call an über instead of an ambulace even in severe situations

@@AnnaWillohow does it work if you are shot or stabbed. Like a life threatening situation do you pay? Or is this just private hospitals?
As a former American police officer, I would say that this is an informative, accurate, and illuminating video. Also, your censorship of weapons and violence is a commendable effort that we need to see take hold more. The less acceptable these things are seen as being the less they will occur. Oh, and capitalism cannot exist without police.
I appreciate your response, as it indicates that some American police officers can see what's going on.
I agree that the world would be a better place with fewer depictions of graphic violence. However, the censorship you mentioned was almost surely dictated by TH-cam community standards. And I don't find that shot of police in training firing pistols at paper targets to be violent at all.
@@davidneman6527former* police, just to reiterate.
I've noticed that, seemingly, the only good cops are ex-cops who quit because they weren't able to continue with the ethical horror of being a cop.
I’m sorry but you’re not a former cop.
@@azovandy14.88thanks for clarifying…
Censorship is not the answer and bad things will happen regardless. Next you'll claim violent video games increase violence in the youth that play them. Censorship is nothing but sugar coating actual shit. It might look less disturbing, but the shit underneath is still very much there and needs to be dealt with instead of being swept under the rug. The fact that she can't even say specific words like Killed, Died, Death, Murdered, and so on is fucking ridiculous in and of itself. Trying to "soften" the blow that this topic is is an injustice.

I told my daughter a simple fact of reality, never forget the police are here to protect and serve, who they are protecting and/or serving isn't necessarily you in most cases.
And I'm assuming you taught her to strap and had her go through rigorous martial arts training, yes?
@@someperson9999 she knows how to handle a firearm but does not own one or like them and she has had self defense instruction.
@@someperson9999that might seem extreme to some ppl but in this country it’s honestly your best bet. I’m definitely teaching my kids how to use guns properly and i will put them through self defense classes.
@@sm4shv3v0 Agreed, My daughter will likely never have the need to wield a firearm in defense BUT, if she does, she knows what to do. everyone should have at the very least basic firearms knowledge.
Largely because it only pays enough to draw in those who WANT the authority and power, not those who feel a duty to serve
Yes, but it's more than that.
Speaking as a former LEO, it attracts people who want/crave the power partially because of the low pay, but also because of the low education requirements and the lack of screening to identify and remove the psychopaths that the very nature of the job attracts.
Add Qualified Immunity to the mix and you have a recipe of giving psychopaths power without accountability, which just passively encourages more lawlessness amongst those that are trusted to enforce the law.
LEO's think they are invulnerable because lawmakers above them who share all the same faults, made them that way with lack of oversight and accountability when they abuse the trust they have been given.
@@9753flyerquestion: what's your guesstimate on how many cops are normally wired VS percent who are somewhere on a sociopathic spectrum?
(People higher than most of us in dark triad or dark tetrad traits)
@@9753flyerHaving worked with law enforcement, I got the sense that they wanted to be admired, the same way that people who served in the military are thanked for their service. But working in most police departments is not equivalent to doing a military tour.
@@grmpEqweer I was an LEO in Texas (Dallas/Plano area) during the early 90's... for the past 30 years I have lived in AZ and while not an LEO anymore, I do still work closely, on my terms, with the various departments in the PHX area - some of it good.. some of it not so good.
At that time and area (yes, this matters) I would probably break it down as follows:
Psychopath cops (don't care about the law, are there for the power and the high that comes from it, thinking they are 'entitled' since they are in that position.. the 'might makes right' crowd - the ones who will plant a gun in front of other officers then expect/threaten those officers to keep quiet and not shed a single tear for the person they murdered therefore needing to plant the gun) = 30%
Bad cops (they claim to care about the law and in a twisted way do, they _will_ do wrong if they have to or are forced by circumstance of protecting their paycheck to do so or the opportunity arises where it benefits them but they know there will be no repercussions) = 60%
Good cops (kinda self explanatory) = %10
Again... time and area matter in what is admittedly a personal assessment.
I would not in general say these numbers persist to today, they are better, but not at all great and still very problematic.
The problem is it only takes a very small percentage of truly bad cops in a department to cause the problems we are seeing and have been seeing for the past 100 years.. it's truly a situation of 1 rotten apple ruins the whole bunch.
The advent of everyone having a video camera in their pocket is the best thing that has happened for Law Enforcement and the citizenry in 200 years.
@@free22 100% agreed, it is very much an ego trip... a drunken ego trip, drunk on the feeling of being whoreshipped (deliberate spelling)
And many of them are former military who just because of that service, think they should be whoreshipped no matter what.
The ex-military ones also have the problem that most think that they are still military just in a different uniform, forcing compliance as is needed in a military setting on the populace, which is not a military setting.
But it's also something that we created by reinforcing that feeling with things like Qualified Immunity - it gives them the feeling that how they feel is validated by the society they are supposed to be serving, even if that validation is not really coming from the society but the lawmakers who share all the same desires and faults as the bad cops.
There is very much an attitude that "because I am doing this 'service' for society, I should be whoreshipped and allowed to break the law myself, that ME going home at night takes precedent over me doing my job correctly and safely for the benefit of everyone"
Is it a dangerous job.. hell yes.. but the majority of the danger of being an LEO is caused by LEO's themselves.
As you are probably aware, it seems to me (also a Minneapolis resident) that since the George Floyd incident, MPD have simple crossed their arms, are throwing a toddler-like tantrum and are not doing what is expected of them in enforcing law. This has lead to a tirade of burglaries in the city and the cops are essentially shrugging their shoulders. We still have a aVERY long way to go and the economic disparity is certainly not helping.
This is happening across the country. Police departments that have been investigated and found to be at fault in some way are the instructed to drag their feet when it comes to responding to crime. So they can argue that the changes have led to more crime. It is absolutely intentional.
thats what you get for treating whole police force as trash because they got some animals among them. if you dont like it, why dont you apply for jobs and become good police yourself? maybe change situation from inside? but no, rather complain like a spoiled little shts and throw demands
I loved in the neighborhood, and it took months following the protest for the police to actually start patrolling the neighborhood again
Cops were never very good at solving crime in the first place. Burglary is usually in the top 3 of lowest clearance rates. Their own numbers back this up. I find that far too many people don't seem to get that.
"The cops are bad and we don't need them".... "hey, why is the crime suddenly so bad when the cops stop doing their job????"
LOL, you people are like self-parodies.
Police don't necessarily protect pale-skinned people very well either. They can be abusive toward pale-skinned people.
Leeja has done it again! I don’t think many people have really sat and thought about how young this method of policing is. It was corrupt from the very beginning and has just morphed into something that appears legitimate on the surface but maintains its roots. A complete overhaul is necessary.
I don't even think it ever looked legitimate, I think that's more a comforting lie too many people tell themselves so they don't have to think about the awful parts too much. But police are given way too much power, authority, and trust, and way too little accountability.
Whenever someone wants that kind of power and authority, they've just demonstrated why they should never have it. And when there's so little accountability, that means abuses if all sorts will absolutely be a constant.
I think a lot of people just buy into the mythology of policing, the same way they buy into a lot if other American mythologies. I think it's absurd, frankly, but suburban white people have been sold this bullshit 'tough on crime' fantasy, and they obviously cling to their fantasies pretty hard. I'm hoping that the number of people falling for it is becoming a smaller and smaller part of American society, but that still means a while lot more people are going to be abused, murdered, or stolen from st the hands of the police until those numbers change.
I read a study about community policing in Denmark, and literally cried at the amount of empathy they had. 😖

@@59Gretsch I agree...they're always comparing white bread suburban areas with the worst areas in the US...I'd like to se how they're gentle touch goes in South Los Angeles, or Chicago.
It’s comparing apples to oranges. As for police in the US, they’re just not cops but psychologists and social workers so when they do so many things they’re not supposed to do that’s when things can get are out control. The funding cuts that have been happening since the 1970’s are the result of the things we’re dealing today.

A good general rule of thumb is that you just don't call the police unless the issue warrants the potential death penalty. It's just a good rule to live by IMO.
@@RevShifty Exactly. I no longer call them unless absolutely necessary as their attitude once involved in any situation just escalates it.
Personally I've found the United States and Brazil very similar. Lots of inequality and a police force that's overly aggressive towards minorities. They both share a history of a large enslaved minority. Can a comparison of the Brazilian and American police forces can be done?
... what do you expect when certain minorities account for more than their fair share of crime. The police encounters are a mere reflection of that.
I have heard the stories of the Brazilian police. They are just as bad as Mexican police.
Ehhhhhh- it has a lot to do with the military coup and USA’s involvement with that- I’m pretty sure that’s where the convergence blew up between them.
Cops doing cop things is so horrific it violates TOS by default
And yet everyone twists and turns themselves into metaphorical pretzels to tiptoe around these restrictions. All hail our corporate overlords, the Constitution lost all meaning when in the 21st century you can only speak freely to however many people can physically hear your voice, live.
Imagine how shitless youtube'd be scared after A SINGLE day of no-content strike. Yet greed makes it sure it will -never- happen.
My uncle will remind me of an encounter he had when he got mouthy with a cop in the Sixties: "Hey, we are not ALL assholes." True, but the more you value your profession, the more you should hate it when it's besmirched by those few bad apples and should want them removed. And THAT is my issue with the majority of cops: they should be at the very forefront of the movement demanding change and refusing to maintain silence regarding what they witness within their ranks.
Yeah, the fact that the "good ones" aren't enraged, protesting, and DEMANDING not to work next to "the bad ones" says it all.
