- Jocko Willink Explains Why The US Police Are The Worst!
Speaker: Jocko Willink
Jocko Willink discusses the challenges faced by US police and the need for improvement. He emphasizes the importance of discipline, leadership, and accountability in law enforcement. By fostering these qualities, police officers can better serve their communities, build trust, and effectively handle the complexities of modern policing. Continuous training, strong leadership, and a commitment to excellence are essential for addressing the issues and ensuring public safety.

If a 'good' cop watches a bad cop do bad things to people who don't need bad things done to them, and does not stop it, then he is a bad cop too.
Unless the “good cop” is blackmailed or stuck.
@@MichaelWaisJr EVERYone ALWAYS has a choice.
Facts!
This is what we people call true.
Only wore level people gonna be cops 🤦🏽♂️ I’m sorry but it can’t get any worse . Don’t sign up for the job if you wanna be hero worshiped !
Wrong. Being a cop is NOT the hardest job in the world. Stop simping.
Exactly
Truckers have a higher fatality rate than cops
@@JoeSchmoe-i8x and electrical lineman.
I wore the badge for a while myself. Here’s what I found. The types of cops you tend to get are those who were either bullied and want to stand up for other people, were bullied and want to bully in return, were the bullies and want to continue bullying, adrenaline junkies who just like the rush, and people who just don’t know what else to do with their lives. They like power in authority and don’t know where else to really get it because they don’t qualify for anything else. On top of that law-enforcement, most cops basic understanding of the law and their job is so piss poor it’s ridiculous. How many times have we seen videos of cops that don’t know the difference between public and private property, when they can or cannot ID, When people canning cannot video. Cops who police with ego constantly. We got a lot of problems in law enforcement. We need not just better training but we need to choose better people.
Yup. I agree. retired cop of 28 years here.
Teaching law instead of just tactics would do a lot, I'd go as far as requiring recruits to pass the bar in their state. De-escalation should also be a primary focus, and asking yourself not "can I arrest this person," but "should I arrest this person?" Maybe issue a warning ticket for a person having their tag lights out and letting them know it needs to be fixed instead of trying to ID everyone in the car and asking everyone where they've been, where they're going, and if they're armed. While we're at it, this "officer safety" stuff is out of control. 19 kids and two teachers were killed by one nut with a gun while a bunch of guys dressed and armed like they were headed to Afghanistan milled around the building. I'm still salty about that, not because I was involved, but knowing it could happen where I live, too. We need better people and we need a better system.
Only profession in the US where it's perfectly OK to be bad at your job. Who would want a bad doctor, dentist, hair stylist or even sanitation worker?
@@ba1100string Also one of the only professions in the US were you could break the law, in other words falsely arrest somebody, falsely incarcerate them, the possession of a firearm while you do it, violate somebody’s right on the color of law, and only get sued and not prosecuted!
@@straycat1674 Sovereign citizens by definition.
The issue to me... the good cops allow the bad ones to line up on that thin blue line next to them. Be it fear of retaliation, loss of benefits, we have to protect the good cops and end this code of silence with the bad ones.
Then that means there aren't any good cops. Staying silent and standing by while their brothers and sisters do bad things, is (at least) JUST as bad.
I know someone who used to be a cop, that is the reason why he retired, either you look the other way or become one of the bad ones, ironically if you choose to look the other way you still become a bad cop by association.
Good cops are as common as real live pink unicorns.
@@Mojo32 I've said this before and I'll say it again: there's no such thing as a good cop. There are three cop types:
1. Bad cops
2. "Good cops", whose goodness hasn't been challenged yet. I'll talk more about this in a sec.
3. Cops that either get pushed out of the force or become bad cops
Regarding #2, it's easy to be good when you're helping an old lady across the street or getting a cat out of a tree. It's a hell of a lot harder being good when Derek Chauvin's knee continues to remain on a lifeless man's neck and you have to have the balls to say, "Hey, Derek. He's not moving anymore. Why don't you get off of him and let paramedics take a look? In fact, I insist. GET OFF OF HIM!"
Now I get it. If you do that to a high ranking cop, you may very well land up becoming cop #3. In fact, you probably WILL become cop #3. But that's exactly my point. The "Good cops" do the math quickly and think, man, I've got 5 years to go to get my pension. Am I really going to stick my neck out on the line to save some black dude I don't even know? Guess what, they've just become cop #1!

If you are willing to lie for a living, then you have no right being a cop. If you lie to give yourself a reason to pull someone over, search their car, enter their home, or punish someone because you were offended, then you are just a criminal with a badge.
It's legal for them to lie to you.
@@Spiritof_76 Itis not legal, however, to lie on the stand in a court of law. And they do.
@@VinciGlassArt Sadly, without additional evidence, their lie will be believed in court.
@@Spiritof_76always record every police encounter.
It doesn't just take training, it takes the right individual. You cannot ask these things of someone who has no emotional intelligence. In SEAL training, you cant train someone how to never quit. Its something that is inside. Many many studies have tried to figure out how to predetermine who is successful in Special Operations training and the answer is it is up to the individuals internal fortitude. For police recruitment in the United States, it is a numbers game. There are vacancies to fill (mandated minimum staffing levels per budgets/population) and if you meet the minimums, you are hired. What Jocko is saying should have an asterisk; repeated specific training will make a difference only to the candidates with average to above average emotional intelligence. Additional training for someone without the ability to comprehend and process emotions real time will never pay out.
but still you can better the situation
I agree 100%
Well put.
While I agree 1,000%, you can weed out the bad apples and you don't need anything fancy to do so. Look at the cop who shot the woman in her own home because he was afraid she may come at him with a pot of boiling water. In the last 4 years, he worked at not one, not two, not three but ***SIX*** different police precincts! A very, VERY basic database of a cop's name and their employment history would allow anyone to weed him out. I guess my point is we can get to the point where the training Jocko is talking about would only be done on high quality candidates.
That's true but regardless that training WILL HELP EVERYONE. Even the unqualified people you are talking about. EVERYONE CAN BE TRAINED TO HANDLE THERE EMOTIONS BETTER.
Police in my area are receiving a top pay of $145k a year after 5 years seniority, where else can you get paid that much with ONLY a high school diploma and not killing yourself in overtime??? There will ALWAYS be a demand for police and people will always take the job because of the POWER.
So basically: we need to copy the training and selection of most Western european countries. Becoming a cop there takes 12-18 months of training. that weeds out most bad/insecure guys....
Lol, no. Training and selection are two different things. Obviously you have zero professional training, knowledge, experience, or skills in this area. It takes YEARS to recruit/select and train a police officer to the point that they can function without direct supervision.
@@DortonFarb it's 6 months academy training followed by 12 months on the job training in germany it's two years academy training.
@koalaseatleaves1277 Can you translate your verbal diarrhea into English? In the U.S., it typically takes about a year to properly vet a law enforcement applicant. My last academy was 9 months long. Then 4-7 months of field training under someone like me. Then they ride out the remainder of their probationary employment. At that point, the new hire has reached the level of "rookie", a phase that typically lasts 3-5 years, before they are a tenured, fully-functional officer.
@@DortonFarb😂😂😂😂 look at you on every comment
Most of them don’t carry guns either like the UK not saying they should or shouldn’t just goes to show you the training they have
EXACTLY...every Agency in America is critically understaffed because no one with any sense would be a L.E.O. in today's society...& the current L.E.O.'s only receive the LEAST amount of training that their Agency can get by with...
Especially compared to their European counterparts. Give them more funding for better training, not weapons!
There is a huge difference between enemy combatants and suspects. Soldiers,marines etc. have one and police have another, The police system operates as they are interacting with enemy combatants.
Exactly
There are so many issues with cops. #1, they can become one with such little training. It takes YEARS to become a cop in the UK. It takes more time to go through beauty school in the US than it does to get through the police academy. Because of that, you have very obvious scenarios that cops just misread.
For example, I watched a video years ago where this black dude, during morning rush hour, starts driving, then smashes into a light pole, knocking it over, he then smashes into a median, stops and just sits there. Making no movements, doing nothing. I IMMEDIATELY could tell he more than likely was in the middle of a seizure, only because I have a family member who has them and I know what they look like.
The neanderthal cops show up and one of them immediately start SCREAMING AT HIM to turn his engine off. He not only doesn't do so, he continues looking straight ahead, not moving at all. They smash his window. Again, no movement. The cop decides, I know, I'll pepper spray him and unleashes an ENTIRE CAN on the driver. The driver didn't cough, didn't breath hard, didn't say stop, he just kept looking forward. Isn't it obvious at this point he's having a medical issue?
I want cops to know what does it look like when someone is having a bout of epilepsy. A heart attack. A panic attack. I want a cop to not look at all black people as criminals. The answer to every problem isn't to shoot. Or scream. If someone pisses a cop off and s/he feels the need to get revenge, well s/he probably shouldn't be a cop, because s/he's too immature.
Preaching to the choir. I tried for years to get law enforcement people to understand proper training.
Let me guess, they still won't listen.
I really think Jocko is on the right track. Another , somewhat distant component to this is cultural in a way. We tolerate bad behavior way too much. Our society needs to move more towards a low tolerance of bad or negative behavior.
I would go along with that, but it needs to include
not just different ethnic groups (if that is what you
meant), but also people with wealth, who very often
make up their own rules and force other people to
accept them. Bad behavior is tolerated from them
as much as anyone else.
@rockym2931 You are also on the right track. And when I refer to bad behavior, I mean in a general sense. Our everyday lives, the way we drive, our relationships with people, the behavior of our corporate leaders, people in professional positions, and so much in the way we conduct ourselves on this planet. Let's just try to be good. Do good things. Those such as LEO'S have certain powers. With those powers comes responsibility. Unfortunately, when some Humans have certain powers, they embrace the power and not the responsibility of that position.
@@halbos7637 I couldn't agree more.
@rockym2931 Thank you for your feedback. Have a great weekend and some really good food, Man.
That scenario he gave about the George Floyd case at the end prob wouldn't have played out like he described considering the Minneapolis PD at the time had one of the most absurd rates of excessive force interactions (especially against POC and the compliant mental ill) and that chokes were very regularly given out with little concern. Hell, Derick Chauvin had a crazy history of brutalizing people and they sent him to train the rookies. The brutality wasn't just the norm, it was the expected standard and the new guys knew that.
@@maliksmith9003 wow this is the first i heard that dang
I've been saying this for years. If you want the best, then you have to pay for the best. And then the best training. And they need to learn empathy as well as strength.
They should probably stop demanding for ID without any RAS or crime being committed.

I wish this video had been longer. This was probably the best discussion
of this subject that I have seen.
Scenario training sounds like an absolutely great idea for police departments. Teaching a cop how to handle their emotions gives them better long-run opportunities to be professional and de-escalate a situation. We need more cops with poise and tact and less cops who go on ego-driven power trips and violate people's rights.
First, teach them the Bill of Rights.
i think a big issue is police unions and all the politics involved with the metro police cities should be policied by sherrifs with deputies who the sherriff is voted in by the people that live in that community
Sheriffs are just as bad these days. They are like every president ever. They lie and act to get voted in. Then they go full reverse on every aspect of the game they played to get there.
Make sure your body cameras are on all the time and make it a disciplinary offence to turn it off.
Facts
I guess Jocko doesn’t realize that what he said in the beginning already happened, and their training is only to escalate.
Accountability sucks when no one has told you know for too long. Police have afluenza.
The New York City Police Department has billion dollar budget, there is no such thing as defunding the police.
1st & 2nd Amendment auditors showed me that too many cops have no clue about the laws they’re supposed to enforce. More training and better people with less ego is what is necessary.
He's completely right about the need for more training of the kind he describes. In Canada it takes about a year to train a cop. Here it's about half that time.
Solid comments!
I suggest nobody, including Jocko, comment about US police unless they have put on the badge and done the job. You have no idea what it's like except for what you see on TV or RUclips videos. Speaking as a retired 28 year cop/field trainer/supervisor.
I suggest you look back on the path you swore to the constitution. Specifically the 1st amendment.
Just like a cop to say- "don't talk about it, you don't know about it"
Too many cops have citizens reminding them that they swore an oath, and educating them on free citizens rights.
I suggest every cop stops regurgitating that empty statement. The people know full well the job of the police. You can do it right, and we will stop talking about it, or you can suck at your job and continue to perpetuate the well earned hate.
It's not on the people to "stop talking about it", it's on you to be a man and keep your oath. To do the right thing.
No Cop is a man. And no Cop ever will be until we see the change. Either be a part of the solution or keep pushing the people until they snap and push back.
@@SonoraSlinger Then explain to me the sliding scale of the use of force continuum as it pertains to case law off the top of your head. Since you know the job...without looking it up on google.
@@24barnaby Don’t you think that’s kinda the problem? We’re talking about morals, right and wrong, liberty, and the constitution. You’re talking about the use of force continuum and case law.

allow me to compare your training with the training and education family members from me got here.
I spoke with higher ranking cops from the US, they had less than an european beat cop
He's right, but this has been happening for fifty years.
150 years
Without going into a lot of details as a world traveler, I can tell you European police officers are 100% different than police officers here in the United States
I suspect that's mostly because the public is different there. They have fewer guns, they're more compliant and less entitled, less likely to be on drugs, etc.
That will change due to African immigrants

Sure, but with the caveat that we don't accept the status quo and continue to seek reform and improvement.
Just because there are worse cops in other countries doesn’t mean US cops should do better.

@@icevariable9600...shouldn't do better.
Except the both of you got your way of changing the police and the police and citizens are worst off for it now
All police candidates should be forced to work a few months as security guards with just a flashlight and radio at someplace that serves lots of alcohol. Then they’ll be forced to learn to use their voice to deescalate situations and develop non-physical problem solving skills.
I live in SE Asia and the police here not so great.
Deescalate ! You're cracking me up.
Cops should have 1 day of training a week! Communication, self defense, legal & firearms proficiency. 2 hr blocks every week.
Seeing these comments makes it pretty clear why no one wants to get into law enforcement anymore... sad. Been a cop for 32 years. Still love being able to make a difference for good in a harsh world. I'm tired but won't give up. Be the cop you want to have in your community. 18,000 police agencies in the country with good cops bending but not breaking!
You can't train someone to care.
Cops brought this upon themselves. They forget that they're just servants.
Hey man how are you doing? > I don't want to tell you.
What's your name? > Not gonna tell you.
That's all a cop needs to escalate the situation... really good advice Joko.
Considering a cop doesn’t need to know my name he should move on to the reason for the inaction (like a sane adult) not some child that gets pissy when you don’t answer a question you don’t have to.
Stop giving reasons for bad cops to not get called out
It's the lack of accountability. Bad cops are rarely disciplined/punished for their actions. Even when they are the disciplined the punishment does not fit the transgression. If they were more accountable, like anyone in a regular job, they'd be less likely to do some of the egregious things they do. The police unions are also way to powerful. Prosecutors/judges are also complicit in not charging bad cops for their crimes/violations.
It seems like (I could be wrong) but it seems like the refusal to accept accountability in the police force leads them not to do corrective training to avoid making the same mistakes again. If they don't admit it was a mistake, they don't bother to train to avoid a repeat. The military will actually stand down to retraining people not to repeat a mistake...the Navy will literally stop all their ships in the middle of the ocean to do retraining. The Air Force will ground their airplanes to do retraining after discovering a mistake. But when the police refuse to acknowledge they screwed up...that means they're just going to screw up again.
Jocko is an exceptionally well trained professional, he understands the one single detail that makes a professional… training!
Today’s cops are given the least amount of training necessary to be competent. They are not trained to the level required to be exceptional.
Education
Be careful Jocko, that's very insightful and progressive way of thinking about policing.
Funny how Jujitsu is always the answer, stay in your lane bro!
Welcome to my world.

Training yes, knowing basic laws would also be a plus. 100s if not 1,000s of clips on u-toob of cops not knowing fundamental law.

@@bhiei yeah exactly
You are wrong about his discussion of law enforcement, and
wrong about how people talk about other jobs.

2) Very narrowly define qualified immunity, and

@@richardpanini971 you are on yourtube, take a look at the hundreds (thousands) of video's on here that show police escalating a situation vs de-escalating a situation. They are well represented on this platform.
Time and time again Jocko’s insight still amazes me, but it should’t. I’ve been saying for year’s police need to be retrained. Over the years I’ve seen good cops, and I’ve seen the bad ones. Like always it’s the bad ones that stick out. You got the tough guys as long as they are the ones with the guns, but like the Uvalde cops, or the Trump assassination attempt cop who just turned the other way when the other guy had his gun pointed at him. Which I’m surprised he wasn’t more prepared. If that cop would have been ready he would have been known as Americans greatest cop for the rest of his life.
Ultimately though, better training and certain ppl need to stop antagonizing cops. Hand and hand for a better America
Awesome ideas, opinions, and strategies from individuals who have never spent a Friday night in a patrol car but learned all you need to know watching RUclips.

Maybe they should have to spend a few years working in jail without a firearm, dealing with criminals and developing their IPC skills?
Exactly, they won't do it though.
The problem is catch and release by a weak system in certain US states and definitely here in Canada. My neighbor who is a city cop stated they arrest the same clowns constantly and are released the same day to reoffend.
People seems to forget that de escalation goes BOTH ways.

No it doesn't. The LEO is the professional getting paid for the interaction. They are the only one with the obligation to deescalate. If they do it, they'll find that the overwhelming majority of people respond in kind. If the person doesn't respond, it's the LEO's job to suck it up and continue being professional, because that what professionals do.
You have to understand that Jocko is a blue-line bootlicker who makes money training cops.

Training what?
i don't know i think it could help if police weren't so short staffed. i mean normally it's just 1 officer or 2 that go to a call. imagine ifa platoon rolled up. strength in numbers. you think potential criminals want to mess with 20 police officers rolling onto the scene?
What you describe would make the situation worse. Some of the worst violence is committed by groups of police, not individuals.
@@barnettmcgowan8978Exactly
A platoon? “Potential criminal”.? Just go enlist in the military. Put your belligerent mindstate to a more productive use.
Can't get any worse. DEFUND NOW
Another expert.
Well, he is not wrong.
In the US. It appears that police are trained to violate people's Constutitional rights, starting with the 4th ammendment. They are trained to escalate every situation to act superior to every citizen they encounter until they can come up with a reason to charge them with some , often "made-up" crime. Then their judge buddy congradulates them for the funds collection...and if someone has the resources & time to sue them ...the taxpayers get the bill and the judicial system just keeps growing their business.
He’s saying a whole lot of nothing. Start off by saying, “how is it going, we got a call, is everything alright…” Somebody show him like 10 different bodycam videos on YT. Unless the situation has already escalated by the time the cop gets there, that’s exactly how they enter the scene every time.
Speaking of George Floyd, training aside... You want me to believe several people yelling to "check his pulse, get off of him, sit him up, and he's not moving", was not sufficient enough to trigger a medical response from the officers?!? The only response to those words was, "Don't do drugs." There's a problem with American policing and it doesn't start with training. However, I agree there needs to be more training, longer academies, longer probationary periods, and ongoing de-escalation training. Over a decade spent in Federal Law Enforcement and the closest thing to de-escalation training was no shoot targets.
It be nice if they taught these idiots anything. Five and a half months in the academy is ridiculous
Hey Jocko!!! The police are already doing that training and have been for years! Thanks for tell them what to do I am sure it will also teach the suspects how to comply as well. As for the George Floyd case you may want to watch the video because he is not on his carotid artery and read the autopsy report that outlines his true cause of death.

Nope, didn’t know that. Thanks for the clarification
It’s so easy to tell someone to “just deescalate” the situation……it’s not so easy. It takes two people to deescalate and often times the person who the police are trying to calm down does not wanna listen!
Most videos i watch of police they just escalate and escalate. They never try to deescalate. I've even read reports where the officer explains that they escalated the situation as a means to deescalate.
True enough, and it only takes one person to escalate. I have seen youtubes where the LEO professionally handled an irate person. But a lot more where a LEO enters a calm situation and blows it up.
That’s why he specifically said to train for that.
In virtually every situation I've ever seen, which is thousands now that we live in camera world, the cops immediately escalate the situation. There's a culture of poor training and massive egos that's really at the heart of this whole problem. Every cop wants to think he's some sort of tactical badass now. Unless you're SWAT, conducting a raid on known dangerous criminal elements, then that's not the job at all. At least it's not supposed to be. Cops need to stop seeing themselves as GWoT door kickers, and start seeing themselves as friendly neighborhood public servants. Sadly, for their victims, that's not likely to happen until a whole lot more of them get indicted for murder. You can't train away those egos so easily.
I just find that in today’s world…..it’s just easy to blame police everything. I’ve done time and am no slant, but I know it ain’t always the cops fault. I’ve been blessed to work with both sides and see first hand what police are up against!
