As a part of training as a security guard in Las Vegas, we were taught to de-escalate any encounter with what they called 'verbal judo'. Detective Rhone hit that nail smack dab on the head by bringing up the 'empathy' issue. The ability to imagine yourself in the other person's 'head', or position, is key to being able to understand why the other might react as they do. IF empathy could be taught (it can't), Tyre, George, and so many others would be living their natural lives today. The time to determine whether a potential applicant for these positions of power is capable of remaining human in conflict is before they're hired. Nip them in the buds with better screening procedures. I'm of the opinion that a sizeable percentage of those who are drawn to the police force are malignant narcissists who imagine that a badge proves their superiority to the rest of us.

I agree with you. My concern among many is the lack of education. Heck, cosmetologists have to go through a least 6 months of training and they want to give a gun to people in a little over 5 months! Officers should have a degree in criminology, where they really learn the Constitution, the history of policing, dealing with people who have mental issues, de-escalation techniques, and dog behavior. (Obviously, for people who want to be handlers eventually but also go over it in general for all the recruits). Then after that, they go to the academy. I live in a small town that only requires a high school diploma. No Kidding! The culture of police brutality needs to stop. Believe me, I support vigorous action when dealing with dangerous criminals. But I saw a video where the officers were yelling at a man during a traffic stop and told him to get out of the car. He kept saying he couldn't walk. They dragged him from the car and totally ignored the wheelchair in the back seat. That's what I mean about brutality. Just senseless aggression.

I would have loved to see Acho ask the officers if they feel that qualified immunity should be taken away, and if police should have to carry personal liability insurance, such as doctors have to do. I know it is called malpractice, but they can be sued for harming others. I believe it would make police officers more responsible and respectful of their duty to serve the public, if they knew they would be civilly liable for their actions. I also believe it would lead to more respect in the communities they police, because people in the community would not always feel criminalized because of current police mentality. Prayerfully it may even open up a way of dialogue between the police and the public. (Just a thought)🤔

Most of this was in Southern Californa. I moved to to Northern California and I only ever had one encounter with police. Both white, power tripping, stopped me for something that was completely untrue, although I knew they just didn't see it from where they were. They were lying, but that was 13 years ofonly one encounter. AS a young Mexican male, I was treated like a criminal when I was just a kid. It's racist, it's corruption, it's both.

I’m on the Police Advisory Committee for a smaller city near Seattle. We just got our first commander of color in the last few years. The things he has had to deal with in the department are insane. We have had amazing conversations and I think our biggest issue is the top leadership doesn’t know how to connect with the community and won’t work on it. And that’s with anyone in the community, even white people who love them. We will have officers come to community events, and just kind of sit there and not engage because the culture is to be stoic and impersonal and always on guard. A big advantage officers of color have (specific to what I am seeing and learning in our area) is knowing that a person of color yelling, pacing, being upset doesn’t mean they’re a threat or that you need to use a higher level of force. Growing up in Polynesian culture, and now living in close connection with Black and brown friends, I see there is a level of expressing “negative” emotions that isn’t typical in white culture. Most white officer’s instincts is to see that as a threat, instead of a nervous system response that needs help to regulate. Our officers of color and female officers tend to see a person who is in distress or upset they’re about to be arrested. Their instinct even before training is often on helping the person deescalate because they grew up knowing that expressing big feelings doesn’t automatically mean violence. My husband and I grew up that in white culture someone yelling is automatically danger. The past two years our department has seen a great change in deescalation training and reducing force. Policies have changed dramatically and it has made a difference. I love hearing the stories of Officer spending two hours talking someone who robbed a store at gunpoint out of a tree until they surrender. A few years ago that would have been a physical altercation. But there is still a mindset issue that I think Black officers have an easier time overcoming, while also having an advantage of being seen as more likely to be safe for people of color in the community.

Also, the last time I checked, police officers don't shoot people unless their own lives are in danger. I trust law enforcement here; I have never committed a crime myself.

Most officers (neutral of ethnicity) are "good" cops; however, the "bad" ones make the headlines and have the power to wreak havoc within communities. That is the core problem. As long as departments continue to bring bullies into their ranks, we will have systemic problems in the police force. There are so many psychological evaluation tools available now to weed out these individuals that every division should be COMPELLED to employ these tests in the hiring process. No department should be so needy for officers that they allow folks whom they KNOW will be problematic with the public be hired. It's also unfortunate that some departments are more concerned with protecting their own than protecting the public. People that talk about "black on black" crime - that's just silly. Statistically, people commit crimes within their own community by a huge margin. If "black on black" is something you think the black community at large (I'm talking to you CARL TAYLOR) is responsible for eliminating, why is there no conversation about "white on white"? I'll tell you why - because it's a stupid way to look at crime. POVERTY is the largest driver in both black and white (and other) crimes - yes, even the overwhelmingly senseless killings of young black men by other young black men. That dog whistle question is so tired and overused. Any time you feel the need to deflect from a topic with "what about" - pause, ask yourself why it's not OK with YOU to discuss the current topic. Therein lies the problem

There is well documented tension between those who subscribe to “a few bad apples” and others who contend that the misconduct is institutionalized in a systemic culture of bad policing. Law enforcement focus on a few bad apples narrative is misguided at best and dangerous at worst. “The k*lling of George Floyd demonstrates how one bad apple may have spoiled the bunch from a systemic racism perspective … How many bad apples do you need before the ‘bunch’ is spoiled?” Good apples don’t stop decay and inevitably decline when bad apples are exposed to the bunch. “Bad apples come from rotten trees in policing”. Bad apples are rarely discarded and instead recklessly transferred into another barrel of (good?) apples. Bad apples should not be allowed to proliferate and spread to other apples. The failure for leadership to identify bad apples and justify their removal is further complicated by deteriorating police unions with rotten roots. When recent psychological evaluation tools have been employed whole departments failed and further exasperate public security. A federal court’s decision back in 2000 even suggests that applicants can be "too smart" to be a cop. PD's have been lowering standards to meet personnel needs and fill required positions. Many of those are coming from short military backgrounds comfortable with executing unmanaged dominance and authority. Todays recruits are more apt to dress and act like combat soldiers while imposing marital law and suspending habeas corpus.

To see a person literally killed by police officers is sickening and disturbing. Especially if the victims are black and brown and are done under the pretense of fear and control. It’s extra disturbing when the officers are minorities themselves. But I believe this happens for several reasons which points to primarily the culture of policing. Everything else falls underneath that perception that officers have the belief of “them against us” mentality. As for those minority officers who kill other minorities are swept up in the same culture. But compounded with fear to speak up against other officer and the sense of wanting to belong to the sense of power over others. I’m sure there are other factors, and this is my opinion.

If we can't get beyond the unreasonable fears and hysterical censorship we can't have open and honest conversations. Emmanuel here, is as guilty as any other when he intentionally participates in overzealous censorship. I won't bore you in debate on particulars, suffice to say publishers do in fact block, filter, or censor comments. YT makes lists of comments removed available to content publishers who may decide to publish - or not, thus limiting individual freedom to speak openly, and protest things that are not right. Most importantly, suppressing opposing views can hold back social progress and restrict people's ability to learn more about the world and other people.

I have some thoughts and comments as I watched this video however It cannot be ignored the fact that I am white and therefore I have a very different background that shapes my thoughts knowingly and unknowingly. My first comment is based off of a realization of horror that I discovered I unintentionally created racial bias in my mind. It wasn't from the culture I was raised in, it was because I kept watching shows like THE FIRST 48 which often deals with homicide of black individuals often committed by other black individuals because the show is filmed in areas with a very large population of black people. I was watching the show often because I was interested in police procedure and investigation that is not fiction or Hollywood. But... There was a moment I realized that I unintentionally gave myself racial bias when I was reading a news article about a domestic violence incident that involved weapons and drugs in my local small city and I was picturing in my head the events. There was no video footage or pictures of the individuals but I realized in horror that I pictured them as black people. There's multiple reasons why this absolutely horrified me. Firstly, It shouldn't have been something automatic as I am white. I say automatic in the same way as often we picture characters in books as being like us of the character is not described or as kids, we tend to draw people with the same skin colour as ourselves. Secondly, I had ZERO reason to picture the people in the article as black, logically speaking, because the vast majority of people who lived in this little city are white. The next largest groups of people are Indian and Chinese and then maybe Algonquin etc. Thirdly, I had no reason to assume it was a black on black crime because I wasn't even aware of any previous crimes involving black individuals in the area whatsoever. When I realized my bias I completely stopped watching THE FIRST 48 or A & E NEW ORLEANS etc in hopes to undo the damage. I actually started watching more cop and paramedic shows based in the UK where most of the criminals are white in hopes of "evening out" the bias if that makes any sense. I bring this whole journey up because I wonder if police officers should rotate frequently from state to state, city to city, province to province to avoid unintentionally creating biases against sny groups of individuals. Sure, it'd suck for the officers and their families and I'm sure that there must be relationship building between the local police and the local people they encounter frequently but perhaps it might be for the best? For example, maybe officers are dealing primarily with one group of people everyday (specific races, specific religions, gangs, mobs, homeless etc) and they might unintentionally develop a bias towards these people because they deal with them all the time. Perhaps it'd be wise to send them to another location with more diverse issues and individuals or just a different environment? Perhaps rotating police might also cut down on corruption and compliance as well as harassment issues?

- yeah, you can have pattern recogntion and it not be some evil racism. Just what color did you decide you should repaint people when you imagine crime? you have to imagine them as looking like someone right? Now you want to go with purposely imagining them as a demographic that is less likely to be the perpetrators isn't you escaping Bias. Its just you having a Bias based on recognizible patterns, then using a whole new Bias to re color what you just imagined. Mental gymnastics is all that is. - Rotating police isn't a great solution, communities like to get to know the police in their area, and just how are you going to find places with diverse crime and how fair is it to the police that you want to constantly move around just so that they don't recognize where the problems are coming from?

And in large cities the pay is okay. Sometimes their only inconvenience is to have to deal with people they don't like. They don't know how to do that.

Well said Ms Amanda, I appreciate your honesty and acknowledging your intentionally influenced bias. I say “intentionally bias”, because show like The First 48 are designed just for that purpose. So when you enter a jury box you already have that, “well they kill each other” mentality which never works in a black victim’s or black defendant’s favor. The over saturation of so called black on black crime in the mainstream media, is another brainwashing technique. Meanwhile they ignore white crime as if it doesn’t exist at all. The sad and dangerous thing about that is, when white folks move to the suburbs to avoid black people and find this false sense of security, that white male domestic terrorist reminds us all that white on white crime does exist. Whether it’s a school, a concert, mall or movie theatre white on white crime is a bigger problem. Why? Because the suburbs have less crime and more security, yet that disgruntled white male will find a way to destroy innocent life with an high powered automatic weapon. Ijs! Thanks!

A blue culture that draws a thinly veiled line between 'them vs us' mentality in policing. To make my argument more succinct - the ‘lawful order problem’ legal scholar Orin Kerr opinions in Sandra Bland case law with peer review. To put it mildly, the growing body of evidence that the ‘principle of equality before the law has been effectively abolished. Instead, a two-tiered system of justice ensures that the country's police state and government class is virtually immune from prosecution, licensed to act without restraint, while the politically powerless are imprisoned with greater ease and in greater numbers than in any other country in the world.’ That inherent conflict between a criminal justice system / public order system and the average human being reminds me of a recent argument in a similar case heard before the (NJ) Supreme Court the following exchange took place as reported in the press. The defense attorney was quoted as saying, "a person has a public duty to refuse to obey an illegal police order." Chief Justice Joseph Weintraub's answer was, "You'd have anarchy if you didn't have order." To this the defense attorney replied, "It's a police state otherwise." How do we balance abuse of power to competing needs of the public - for starters we end the recent and ilegal advent of 'qualified immunity'. Because ... "It is hard to imagine a more disingenuous and dangerous way of enforcing law than by putting those decisions in the hands of ‘officials’ who pay no price for being wrong"'
