Four years after he covered policing in Newark, New Jersey in FRONTLINE’s documentary “Policing the Police,” Cobb returns to the city to see how federally-mandated reform efforts there have fared - and what lessons might apply nationwide. “Policing the Police 2020,” supported by The WNET Group’s initiative “Chasing the Dream,” is a powerful look at the intersection of race and policing in America in 2020.

I have experienced this & still experiencing to this day ... 20 yr. Disabled Combat Veteran with no criminal record
...you better SAY! that ...💯
"dont touch me"
"youre resisting"
That incident was the prime example of what goes on.
He was also pulling away from him and not following commands. He was resisting.
@@CaptainJackSparrow110 a natural instinct oh, my wife does the same thing
@@CaptainJackSparrow110 only after the officer yanked his arm and put him in a choke hold.
@@CaptainJackSparrow110 it was an unlawful stop, he was walking but for some reason they needed to put him in handcuffs for his protection. and they didnt record the interaction even though they were on camera. they're violating people's rights
“The fact that it’s legal does not make it right”
It says alot that I had to hold my hands in the air and shout to a police officer that I needed directions to a hotel.
I wish more people get to see this and understand what is happening in our community
Yeah... They’re driving right by, they don’t even know what they’re missing.
I was held more accountable for my job performance as a short-order cook than cops are. If this doesn't change the distrust and hostility will only grow. Too many Americans are living under violent occupation for me to consider this a free country.
DITTO!!!!!!!
I hate to inform you but if you think the police are the ones who are ripping the freedom and equality from black Americans then you have another thing coming when you finally realize how bad the politicians are screwing them.
We aren't free..we never really have been..
@@michelemcguire8995 lol dude....explain pls
Now you all know how the average German citizen felt when the Nazis muscled in. Hell, a character in the Captain America movie with Tommy Lee Jones mentioned that.
@14 minute mark the initial contact Officer is absolutely wrong....SMH... A citizen walking down the street not harming anyone or committing a crime has a right to demand not to be physically assaulted by cops for merely asking a Cop not to touch them and impeding their route of travel. That cop needs to be terminated for violating that citizens rights.
Not in Newark.....all you have to do is be in their line of sight and your rights are forfeit until they find something to bag you up for or there's nothing they can find so they have to let you go....wonderful world, huh?
I completely understand now. I recently had an interaction with police last week, the 3rd interaction over the last 3 years where I called them for help after my truck, house and car were damaged, 2 of 3 cases I knew exactly who did it, and everytime they were more concerned with me hurting them and investigating me like their suspect rather than helping. I got into trouble 20 years ago, nothing crazy, just a troubled kid. Partying, hanging out with the wrong people, crazy and violent girl friends, fighting in bars, They always look at me like a violent criminal. I paid my debt to society, I did my time, I paid my fines.
I go out of my way to help my community, go to church, volunteer at the church, I can't change who I was or what I did 20 years ago. How long will it take the police to stop looking at me like criminal?
JJ, I WISH YOU THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OF LUCK!
BLM is a joke
WHITE CHRISTIAN Church is one of the biggest pedo rings in the world soo I would not trust you neither
I don’t have a record, not even a speeding ticket. And they treat me badly, it’s a cultural issue
The answer is NEVER , they will never stop viewing you that way sadly. As the cop said he looks at it their way and that's the only way they ever want to look at it .
"... in this country, race is a shorthand for a set of life probabilities."
Turns out culture is a dominant force. Who would have thought?
Yep in this country your race decides where you go in life...
@@cheeveka3 No, it doesn't, but not everybody is given the same opportunities, and some of those, unfortunately, are based on race.
This narrative being sold to folks is total BS. Speaking from experience. You go as far as you’re willing to work for. No excuses, no slack. Want nice things? Work. Want to do what you want to do when you want to do it? Work
@@KyJack13 You're just a fool, aren't you.
The justification after justification from the Union rep is absolutely disgusting. They will justify anything.
It is absolutely disgusting, but...... that's their job. The union's job is to protect the employee at all costs, and police unions do it better than anyone. I think our distain gets misaligned with this issue.
We shouldn't be getting upset with how the unions act, but instead with the unions themselves. The unions either need to be dissolved or some type of hybrid union / civilian oversight committee needs to be introduced as a counter-weight to the unbalanced and unchecked power of the current police unions.
@@mikesully7841 that's an excellent point. I am Pro-Union, and have been in and out of them, currently in one. I think Unions still have a place but absolutely there should be balance. I love the idea of a community oversite committee, especially for Union members who serve the community.
Ugh...agreed. He was completely unaffected by the disregard for human life.
The reason why the Unions are so powerful representing law enforcement is that THEY write their contracts which create rediculous perks such as arbitration which gives a bad fired cop their job back. The citizen has little or no power over disciplining and prosecuting bad and criminal law enforcement.
I work with a few former LEOs, and they are incapable of seeing the world from a civilian POV. The think in terms of their own safety and what is justifiable based on their policies. There seems to be an absence of critical thinking, empathy, and moral character. The civil liberties, and rights of the citizenry, isn't a concern in the execution of their duties. They each admitted to patrolling with colleagues who should have never been cops, but there is nothing being done about it. These things have been complained about for decades in low- income communities. Now people are believing the abused and oppressed.
While I don't personally trust any police, I am willing to concede that they can't all be bad. However, if a "good cop" witnesses wrongdoing by one of his fellow officers and doesn't report it, he just ceased being a good cop. Badge or not, right is right and wrong is wrong.
@@EverywhereAndNowhere absolutely. One bad cop is too many.
People who dismiss police brutality as the result of "a few bad apples" seem to forget that the full aphorism is "a few bad apples spoil the bunch".
@@stokes2672 so should police.
Good point, but the full length of a saying technically plays no part. If there aren’t a majority standing up against atrocities committed daily by their gang, they’re all bad.
Oh how I wish it were only a few bad apples. The thing is, the proof is out there, on this platform, in unedited body cam for everyone to see that it’s not just a few bad apples. People just choose to not be informed, but they no longer have a legitimate excuse to their defense of the blue line gang.
So let me ask with all due respect. Don’t you know you have to have law and order or there is no society ? You want total anarchy?
"Law & order" would be great. Unfortunately, all we have in the US is a heavily armed crime syndicate who hide behind badges and are allowed to beat, murder, and rape with total impunity.
As a 40-year-old Latino I think he did an excellent job reporting on the story
As a 34000 year old Alien from Outer Space i think he looks like Uncle Phil
what does you being latino have to do with anything👀🤣
your age and race don't mean anything but the second half does. I saw so many people using this form of justifying Mak'aih Bryants murder because they were a black 43 year old women.. They couldn't see she was defending herself on her own property and was shot to kill.
This is an excellent report! THANKS, FRONTLINE! THANKS, COBB!
24:25 they say "dont judge a group by a few" but judge BLM by a few.
I mean they judge the cops by the few :/
You reap what you sow..
@Done Busy And how many millions of protesters are there?
@Done Busy You reckon? I’m gonna need some sources. 5-10% seems awfully round.
@Done Busy According to whose data?
And in 50 years you’ll be saying the same thing, the street team guy said it best. Until we start looking after ourselves maybe we won’t need all these Police in our Neighborhoods
Did anyone ever wonder how a person can put their hand behind their backs when you have one cop beating on you , while the other is leaning on you so you can’t move. They don’t give a person time to comply before they react.
Jelani Cobb, you're an excellent journalist! Than you for your work!
The stupidity of people who don't cooperate with police and then tell the police that they're cooperating is hard to believe.
I almost feel like these cops who have been shadowed for this story are making the point for the opposition. Almost every stop they made, to me, appeared to have violated at least one of our constitutional rights. Especially the guy at the end who said don’t touch me. He was just walking. Dear god what have we allowed ourselves to get into in this country. It’s our own faults. We are not exercising our rights to as Americans to get what we want.
Another fabulous job by Frontline. You helped me understand that the brutal injustices to blacks are not all done by the police. Discrimination in schools, housing and employment are just as guilty.
I want to thank you for just stating the obvious but some many white people still will deny what is right before their eyes! The hatred runs deep even amongst young whites I don’t understand why we are hated so much by all races….. we haven’t done anything to white people ancestors or even in the present but we are hated as if we enslaved white people or we made laws to keep white people in segregated communities or we lynched murdered maimed raped burned alive severing genitalia all of the evil that has been inflicted on black people not POCs because the POCs haven’t been thru nor go Thru what black people do and on top of that they hate black people just as muçh or even more then white people do they! I appreciate your words of truth‼️
But it's the police who are doing the beating and killing!
It's sadly entrenched in our society. I'm white and seen it with my own eyes. The more mixed neighborhoods got the more white people been subjected to the pigs aggression and the more they seen for themselves which before alot of whites denied what was going on.
Hahaha
Its all implemented by the globalist, because they live for blood shed,for every bloody death to anyone, they see it as a blood ritual
“Pull away from me is suspicious” 😒 you don’t have to talk to police or have them touch you
Agreed. That's the key. I was always taught don't speak. Don't do anything at all. Just stand there with your arms folded, but where they can see your hands. Then they're left to decide what their next step will be. The onus is on them because you're not resisting or being combative. 99% of them will eventually get frustrated and just leave you alone. I wish more people knew that you don't have to answer any questions or anything. Knowledge is power.
@@EverywhereAndNowhere unfortunately we are all taught that to keep us safe because our life is more important than anything. We gotta get home. I just hate how the cop said that like he had the right to touch anyone he wants.
@@JL_Lux Right. I look at it like this. All I know is that they're walking up on me with a gun on their hip. I don't care the reason. And they wonder why we're so edgy when dealing with their stupid asses.
Great reporting. Shows there is progress being made, but it's not going to happen until we're ALL addressing the issue and working in the same direction. IT'S TIME that we do.
What do you care about you are wearing the badge, too
Just to add some context, I am a poor white male, born in 1981. I grew up in and again reside in my hometown in Southern Delaware, which has a very clear line that divides class and in many cases race. My first interaction with a police officer was around 9 or 10 years old. My friends and I were playing baseball in an abandoned lot and the noise we made apparently bothered the rich old lady, that lived on the other side of this giant privacy barrier that divided our poor neighborhood from every other class, so much so that she called the police. We were treated like criminals and told basically we were gonna be held accountable if that old lady dies from something related to our baseball games. At 17 I was letting homeless friend of the same age use my car when I was at work and he was doing something stupid, who knows what, but at 7 a.m. one morning, my mother's door was knocked down with a no knock warrant and I was dragged out of my house by four police officers and thrown in the backseat of a cruiser, taken two blocks away and beat down and given no other explanation besides my car was seen in a "bad neighborhood". I tried my best to get away from this area. I was escorted out of town, by the police, everyday when I left to go to work. My local auto insurance agent was told to drop my insurance without telling me, without me missing a payment, and the next day I was pulled over, pulled out of my truck at gunpoint, thrown on the ground, my truck was searched and I was taken to the station for some bogus reason and when I got in front of the judge, I was lucky and it was a female and I told her what I was going through and she cut me loose seeing that it was bogus and that particular police officer would be fired. However, this would not be the end of my issues! I have always worked and followed the rules as best I can. Unfortunately, because I was a target for 20 years, ended up being beat down more then one other time, harassed and eventually I ended up a convicted felon and did almost five years in prison. I couldn't get away from this area. When I finally did get away from here, I flourished and was able to build a family. I only came back because of covid and I regretted it within ten days. I was approached by the one police officer that was still here from the 90s. It never leaves your mind. Whether I am playing ball with my children or inside my home. When I see flashing lights in the windows, I automatically jump and I am scared for no reason. You know how many police interactions I had in the 8 and a half years I lived in another neighborhood??? ZERO!!!!! They only police aggressively like this in poor neighborhoods. When I moved out of the poor neighborhood they don't come checking anybody until someone calls them. Now that I am back here, I see a police truck drive by ten or twelve times a day! They post up by our mailboxes and chase traffic and anybody walking down the road or riding a bicycle is not in a good position either. What reason do they have to stop people walking? NONE! We need to get rid of them or dial them back and get our community members involved in policing our own neighborhoods.
BTW, I came back here married to a black woman and have mixed kids! I see the looks in the grocery store and I feel the eyes on me. The police are right there at least once a day when I walk outside to go to work or wash my car or check my mail. I won't even check my mail or let my kids go out and play when the police are out there. It's a terrible way to live...
ive lived in Delaware my whole life as well, never had a problem with DSP but Harrington and Greenwood police mainly city police in Delaware are absolutely terrible. my family had a really bad name in Harrington because of my father, and they messed with me about once a week and i have no record and try to live the straight and arrow. but they would try to make up shit, or follow me around, i moved out of Harrington first chance i got. i feel your pain bud.
@@killerlyric3574 yeah, I never had any issues with delaware state police except for one time an officer that used to work for Millsboro, followed my wife halfway home because she was driving my old car, which was unique and pulled her over using the loudspeaker to make her get out of the car and then he came out apologizing. Oh,, I thought you were someone else,, ah blah blah! Like it would be okay if it was me!!!...I am about 45 minutes from Harrington going towards Rehoboth...Millsboro. Yeah, those areas are known for their predatory police work also. I take back roads around Harrington and Greenwood! Any of those small towns that have millions of dollars to spend on cruisers and rito gear and swat vehicles...they get all that extra money by taking it from people when they search and seize. Which should be illegal btw. My friends dad rides around with almost a quarter million at all times in the business he is in but they aren't taking anything from him. They choose what type of person should be allowed to have a lot of cash on them. I can go on and on but I agree with you 100 percent... You speak up and don't let them bully you and they will attack. Set people up for terrible crimes...
NEWARK COMMUNITY STREET TEAM 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ve always been told that while In Baltimore you need to be scared of carjackers in the daytime and be afraid of the police after dark. But watching the officers behavior in this documentary? Holy sh!t, These officers are so indoctrinated that they don’t even know how bad they made themselves look in this documentary nor do they realize that they can only detain someone with probable cause…they just pull guns on literally everyone they see out after dark in a crowded neighborhood. And you could clearly see that one of the officers dragged the guy to the ground while another officer was saying he “pulled away”….no dude, he was dragged down by your buddy.
"We have a job to do." A police officers job is to "Protect" the public from unreasonable searches and seizures, not subjugate them to it. A police officers job is to "Serve" the public in every way possible to the best of their ability with their "Honor" still in tact, without violating "Anyones" Civil Rights.
I had trouble watching that stop... I had to pause and come back... Worse yet, I recognize the privilege I have to be able to temporarily “pause” moments like this while this is literally life for others. I am so sorry and angry that this happened to the young man just walking home.
12:42. Trust me guys. Narcotic gang police are dirty. But it’s dirty out there. But putting guns and drugs back out in the market. To repeat cycle to keep private prisons open. Also cops make their side money. It will never change
there are more guns than people in the US. They should be more interested in busting the gun runners.
@K Will obviously talking about illegal firearms that were confiscated Karen.
Maybe but someone needs to complain about it. We can do that in America and that's how we make America better.
Great Show As Usual, Thanks!!!!
Outstanding presentation! Thank you all.
The reporters voice is so soothing. I feel like I’m about to fall asleep.
Frontline is my favorite RUclips Channel
Make 2 years of college mandatory to even be consider for the Academy, NOW!
College is where all of these hateful rioters have learned their racist anti-American ideologies.
Then you would have fewer cops! Civilian police are not hired because they are smart, compassionate, knowledgeable of the laws, physically and mentally fit, or concerned with protect and serve the community.
The police originated from the Slave Patrols, during the period of slavery. You were qualified if you were white, had a gun and loved to shoot critters.
I trained Marine military police. If military police did 1/8th of what civilian police do daily, they would have been Courts Martialed and sent to Leavenworth MCF.
Convinced as I am and as I am from my government that the world needs a new moral architecture over all I believe that this should be the first topic to debate in our world of today, ethics, moral.- Hugo Chavez
And at 14:40, that man had every right to pull away from those tyrants. They had absolutely no probable cause to touch that man. Tell that man to sue those dirty rotten pigs.
I've been on countless police ride alongs working for PBS, CBS, NBC,ABS and others. Policing is broken, The recruiting standards are a joke. Most cops I've meet I would not trust with my dog.
Just saw this on PBS... AMAZING REPORTING.. Where can I find the Lilley Reports on this particular case?
I had some cops run up on me in Newark in the 90s.... I hadn't done anything wrong and was somewhat confrontational when questioned. They felt some kinda way, tossed me into the car, took me to the seaport in Elizabeth and beat me up... actually smacked a tooth outta my mouth with a flashlight. I was then released without so much as a ticket. When I filed a complaint they told me, to my face, nothing was going to happen.....and they wonder why so many citizens despise the police
How many times has it taken months for the body cam to be released for review? Some even need to be forced to be released for view.
I have always felt that an ex con could help with the newer generations. Some of those ex law breakers have much more knowledge of their neighborhood and how they should be approached. Violence begets violence. Most people are good. Hungry people are desperate. Children brought up in dangerous neighbors are scared and need help. We have to help and heal.
Floyd's problem wasn't hunger nor was he a reformed criminal.
@@dancarter6044 he was a truck driver so he could have been like some cops doing things he should not be doing like the one on his neck😳😕😳
As an African American I have had my share of both possible abuse and more than likely to counter such the receiving of beyond extraordinary top notch service by America's Police Law Enforcement. More than everything, I have always stood behind our law enforcement agencies, in doing so with the understanding that where would we be as a nation without them. Keeping in mind our wonderful Constitutional and Civil Rights we as a nation still need to fulfill our presence written within such, although we are almost there. I am more of an believer of "All Lives Matter --- ALM" as opposed to just the singling out of a lone demographic of "Black Lives Matter --- BLM" (a continuation of segregation).
Yea police can reform in some areas but to paint them as the new neo nazis i think its giving those extremist groups more power.
How is the phrase "Black Lives Matter" "a continuation of segregation",Todd?
@Jerome Wade I think I can help you here sir. Segregation is separating people, by continuing to understand that the human race is genetically the same, no matter what "race" you are, you are the 50th cousin to the person standing next to you. Because that is how evolution spread over time. It's unfair to the other minorities to only help or talk about one. So All Lives Matter is better than just one group.
This was a wonderful document
Another vantastic documentary by Frontline
Has this been released before? I feel like I remember the beginning here...
No, It is totally new. It was just premiered 19 hours ago.
Yes this is a ReRun
Watched this months ago
I think the first 20 minutes were released before. The 2nd half is new.
@@CrazyforCruiser no it's a rerun
Good journalism, give both prevailing points of view and let your audience decide.
Keep posting interesting contents like this!
I like the idea of a community based organization stepping in to work with and de-escalate situations in their community and keeping the police out of it period.
just work on your self defense.
You like the idea of the people doing that getting murdered?! Because that's exactly what's going to happen.
BRAVO! Such an unbiased and informative piece, chock full of POSITIVES! So eloquently presented by intelligent and thoughtful individuals. Thank you for this presentation!
Really dope reporting. That’s the way “Defund the police works” I hate the slogan but what they did here in Newark is super dope.
Excellent reporting
Melanie Cobb, please run for president! You a true human that has the power of education and you are a stand up American we all need to follow your examples in life!
This seems to be a re-run. I seem to have seen this film before. Maybe re-edited?!?
No. There was a Frontline report done in 2016 by Jennani about Newark. This is the follow up to include current events.
@@tommymas1 ok thanks. I remember seeing the part in the beginning about how the cops are talking about necessary force, etc.
I need to checkup on what things are new in this one compared to the 2016 one.
@@shantanugadgil You're welcome. Both are good but 2020 one is more hopeful and engaging. Jelani Cobb does a great job.
@Rolman80 80 Huh? That is not clear.
As self promoty as this sounds I hope you guys will check out my documentary “Lives That Matter” on my channel. I spent about a week filming in George Floyd’s old neighborhood in Houston Texas and spoke with residents and activists around the area. I’m incredibly proud of it and I hope you will give it a chance ❤️ black lives matter doesn’t mean the rest don’t. It means we need to recognize they’re the lives that need more equitable treatment by our society.
Strange not hearing Wil Lyman but this was a good one for him to take a break from
Good shit
great report
Outstanding work
We can all see it for what it is. Even those of us who have to hide behind the veil of pretending not to.
He was fast walking home --> suspicious.
Why are there 2 of these docs wit da same title but different videos once you click on em
I remember I watched this documentary. At least a part of this video is from the past documentary?
It’s a follow up to a frontline documentary from 2016 or so. Only the beginning is a recap of the prior one.
The parallels between this (now defunct, I guess) gang unit and the NYPD's old Street Crimes Unit that killed Amadou Diallo are striking.
“Jump-out boys,” “knockers,” those type of plainclothes units are almost always the ones that bring the most controversy and scandal to police departments.
The Gun Trace Task Force in Baltimore, Red Dog in Atlanta, a few tactical units in Miami. They’re not always bad, but like I said, if there’s scandal in PDs, usually it’s with them.
I love this channel.
Liar
great correspondent Mr.Jelani cobb soft intelligent and open-minded!
It's an update to the previous ride along report.
The gang task force acts like a gang themselves, they even have a logo
so true
Police are the most organized, well funded gang out there. And they more often than not also have military training, even in small rural depts. It's downright scary the power and resources they have.
The problem with the police as well they don't want to be held accountable if they want to go in the neighborhood and do what they want freely with no comfortability.. adventurous going to come ahead because if people don't get that Justice people going to take care of it themselves and this is what's happening now..
I love my city. We've came a long way.
Yeah. Campbell's didn't leave yet, so I guess everything is good. And you still have an aquarium.
EINSTIEN SAID "JUST B CUZ U CAN, DOESNT MEAN U SHOULD:"
That damn cop said you can point a gun at someone to give a command and then put it away once the threat has been neutralized and then we can have a normal conversation. Bro I can't have a normal convo with a MF who pointed a gun at me especially if I didn't threaten him. All a cop had to do is say he felt threatened and you lose and then they got this thing called qualified immunity that protects from getting sued for questionable behavior.
This is extremely off topic but I really think it's ironic that the term "Latinx" has caught on like fire in the media and among whites. At least among the hispanic/latino people I know don't like or use the term at all.
that's because "latino" is already gender-neutral. "latinx" is performative and confusing.
Modern day Guardian Angel. I remember seeing those guys on the train system in Chicago.
GREAT REPORTING
*Excellent documentary...tho "none is so blind than he who will not see" begets the thumbs down*
Wow! Who would've thought that using footage of abuses of force could be used to train officers? What a revolutionary idea! Wow!
Professor Cobb, Spelman'74 is in here💯🖤👈
Wow, now I want to know about the "Lily Report."
Being minority does not give any one to destroy the dreams of millions.. anarchy is not answer to injustice..have faith in construction
How about being oppressed and locked into a bottom caste? What’s your caste?
I am an independent mind.
I'm just glad I live in a state where people get along and people trust the cops.
🐑
State of delusion?
Summary of this video:
12:39 - 12:57
All police do is disrespect anyone that they choose to. They target anyone they want to. The resistance they cause is simple. It's the very same if a civilian walked up to them asking questions while they're minding their own business. It's natural to pull away from anyone accosting you to stop your motion, and touch you. No one will just stand there during times like this. Show me that person, and I'll show you a downtrodden, depressed, and angry person.
Hearing the sound of that man's skull hitting the curb while the cop hammerfists him put hate in my heart
What a positive and healing documentary!
@12:30 he should have asked the cops to articulate what he believes a citizens rights are as it relates to his doing stop n frisk.
Conservative guy here. Great documentary.
15:40 exactly!!!!!!!!!! I’m tired of explaining! Now count before camera how many stops like that happen and how many are dead or locked up for no reason!
This documentary showed what happens when a reporter and camera crew rides along. I wonder how things would be different if those guys weren't there. Actually, I don't think I need to wonder. It's obvious even to this ol' white guy.
Applaud to the major of Newark. It seems that his programs work well. Conflict resolution and increase police-community communication are good ideas, given that the police and the community seems doesn't understand and hard to relate to each other.
I don't know about that. According to the numbers all crime is down on his watch except rape, which is up. Politicians and police tend to lie about the numbers during times where there is talk about high crime and police reform. I've been to Newark, it was a fun city in a dangerous way. Certainly not a safe city.
If they are to enforce all laws then by law they should learn all LAWS before they take an oath to uphold something they havent been TAUGHT
The black experience with the police sometime feels like what a person will feel if they have been in a abusive relationship with a partner for many years you depend on this person for the means of your well-being but at the same time you know this person can be the one to cause you emotional pain physical pain and psychological pain it is really profound how this is the relationship the black community has with the policing system
who cares
@@kingsman3087 if you don't care please don't comment on my post just don't care in silent
That union guy has an attitude. For him it's easier for them to be violent then to use their minds. 2 of them couldn't control him he had to punch him in the head and they always got to shot a full clip of bullets time's 15 to make sure they feel safe.
Piss me off when I hear George calling for his mother
MOMMA!!!!
Sounds like a blood crying after walking into a chrip neighborhood. .
A lot of good information
Tough topic. well done.
A very tough topic to talk about.Dear God! For myself, honest communication is the best.Listen to the other.Ok?
38:48 really! the woman who sent poor single mothers (and parents) to jail because their kids didn't go to school is going to help. she even laughed when talking about how she made it easy to sent a poor woman to jail...
I agree!! I find it utterly laughable that SHE, of all senators, would have the nerve to utter anything regarding justice and proper policing considering how she conducted herself as California AG....she wouldn't get my vote for dog catcher
I can’t help but notice that in almost every interview with police in this video, the police are so quick to be defensive. But just a thought, if the police weren’t so quick to take it as a personal attack, rather if they were just as quick to say thank you for the constructive criticism and ask how they might better serve the community, I think that would solve 75% of the issues and unneeded force and brutality against the community. That would build so much more equity between the police and the community they’re supposed to serve. I think we’d all be amazed at what positive change that would bring.
They’re driving right by, they don’t even know what they’re missing.
My city’s police are currently under a DOJ consent decree. NOPD (New Orleans Police Department) has been infected with corruption, discrimination, excessive force, sexual harassment and assaults against citizens…just to name a few of the issues. Though after Katrina, there was a serious house cleaning, it wasn’t enough.
It is January 2023, the crime in New Orleans has gotten so far out of control. NOPD has been working at 50% capacity (we need 1200-1600 officers, and we barely have 700). Officers are leaving for other departments, or leaving the profession all together. My friend woke up at 3am to an intruder who had broken in. Luckily she had run out of her house before he could reach her bedroom, and she called 911 immediately.
1st, she spent 17 minutes on hold waiting to be connected to an emergency dispatcher.
2nd, the intruder was in no rush to leave her home. He lazily went through looking for valuables, he made himself some food, changed clothes, watched TV, packed the items in her own luggage to steal, THEN HE INVITED A FRIEND!!! She’s shivering in her detached garage/art studio in 40 degree weather with only a night gown, bathrobe and flip flops, and her invaders are just chillin.
The NOPD arrived FOUR HOURS LATER!!!! She fell asleep on the rug of her studio and was woken by an officer. Her entire house was destroyed. They trashed everything. And priceless heirlooms were lost.
Dude is literally riding in a police vehicle with the lights flashing and he is talking about that's not how you do Policing!!!! 🤭
What do you mean? Is the driver on a police run?
Only in america would people put up with BS like that.
Hey Roberto, are we the baddies? I mean we've got skulls on or shirts. It seems we might be the baddies
Gives me firenation vibes.
