Driven to contain threats to social order, American policing has exploded in scope and scale over hundreds of years. Now, it can be described by one word: power.

It's wild that in the USA a police officer can be fired for misconduct(or whatever bs they want to say instead of arresting them) and they can go to the next county and get a job as a police officer again. Thats wild. That happens nowhere else in the world. This isn't the 50s where there's no computerised records and they can say they didn't know what they did in their last job, they can see their record they just don't care that they attacked people in custody or sexually assaulted women or whatever it was. You can't have a decent police force with that mentality
I love how you use terms like “or whatever it was” throughout this jumbled attempt at an argument. Although you’re not entirely wrong, these instances you’ve listed are quite accusatory and serious wouldn’t you say? Violent and sexual assault on detainees is typically something they do in fact press charges on because as you’ve said: this is not the 50’s. No doubt there are still shady departments that try to cover for their own - that will never change - but you overlook the fact that police are beginning to be an extremely valued and limited resource in the public service sector. Are you aware that what you’ve listed can and has happened similarly with doctors and surgeons? Or people who abuse their adopted children (the podcast Broken Harts is a fascinating look into this particular issue)? I mean just look at our government. Many of those who held the reins of the failed policies on Iraq and Afghanistan are now overseeing our continued failed efforts in the Ukraine. My point is you shouldn’t generalize the entire police force just as you shouldn’t generalize an entire race or religion. Criminality is running amok in this country and police are the ones who try to stop it.
Really, you must be wordly.....ever heard of Central and South America.....take look there.....
@@sienega4625 your correct, my mistake for not clarifying 1st World countries/western living democratic countries but given the video would have thought it was obvious
Lol, Coffee City, Texas...
really - have you studied Policing in China, Pakistan, Ethopia, Chad? How can you say "That happens nowhere else in the world".
When I saw Power, I thought this was the Starz version of Power
😆
😂😂😂😂 Me too. I was like "Yepee..." Since I ain't got Starz
Me too😂😂😂
One is coming from Courtney Kemp
Same 😂😂
Well this will ruffle some feathers.
Yeah. Being “having their feathers ruffled” by people wanting crime and anarchy vs people “having their feathers ruffled” over comedy movies.
The bad thing about police in current years, everyone is trying to be Judge Dredd, sticking with law and order but there's always a burden and it would be the mental health of the police, which depending on the situation is more to follow the law than to think about the rights of the people they are arresting. The strange thing is, nowadays, the police take mental health classes, others for behavior in other countries. Why isn't there something like that in America? This is what intrigues me about the documentary.
Yeah, they should compare American law enforcement to other western countries, and what can America learn from them. In most if not all European countries you have study for 1-3 to become police officer, there are countries where police doesn't carry lethal weapons on themselves, and some countries don't even have police killing/shooting anyone for multiple years in a row, for e.g in my country Lithuania last time police officer was killed was in 2020 by a WW1 weapon and in 2017 by a drunk person with a knife. Using lethal gun is reserved in most extreme cases, officer here would always try to defuse, negotiate with a aggressive person with a knife for example or even rather risk being killed than choose to shoot that person, no different from other dangerous job like firefighters, human life is very much respected here.
For a slight second thought Power Universe was going to be on Netflix especially with Courtney Kemp already having a deal with Netflix
Haha I know, right!? 😀
Looking forward to this one. Reading a book on the power of the police. They need to abolish qualified immunity
Eventually the activists call all of us racists
This is going to go well...
Let me guess, this movie does not feature Roland Fryer's research? Why let the facts get in the way of a narrative, right Netflix?
Can't have a "person of color" blowing up cherished narratives. That being said, the left actually had *valid & important criticisms* to make regarding police authority once upon a time. They've largely proven themselves to be trend-following charlatans without a single principle for the last 30 years, and have done absolutely ZERO to better the lives of anyone not among the *Anointed* of their ilk.
I just know there are going to be people who say that this documentary is going to lean very heavily towards one side of the political spectrum and then the flip side is that there is going to be people that will say it leans heavily towards the other side. I just know that Power is going to be a hot topic conversation piece
Ok, the title is totally misleading! I thought it was about that power outage in NYC in the 1970s or early 1980s. (Forgot what year it was).
I thought the same thing! I was saying it's a another 1
It was the 1977 blackout.
I thought it was a prequel to that power movie we got
The title is not misleading. You were just thinking a completely different kind of power.
@@netwolfeIt is misleading
Looking forward to seeing this
Don’t ever make my blood pressure go up like that again. Thought this was Power Universe related.
Who make this progressive?? 🤣🤣
I would have named this "Blue: Power" or "Mettle/Power"
47 seconds is crazy
Respect my autoritahhh!!!
Try living in a lawless country before you comment
I have been. Law enforcement is lawless AF.
Derp
Been there, done that. I no longer live in California.
Just in time for election year 😃
This is going to be interesting.
Is January 6th going to be in this?
If it is, "police power" and its abuse in *this one example* will be held to an entirely different standard since it's about people hated by the filmmakers.
In this world there is still two types of policing and law and common or middle class has always in the worse end of law or police. There is still plenty to do in law enforcement so everyone are treated the same way but the way world is going I don't see that happening in the next 100 years.
"The way the world is going " you mean the way the USA is going. Dont put the USAs institutional racist police force on the world. Thats for the USA to sort out and should have been done a long time ago
Very interesting
I thought this had something to do with superpowers.
Yeah it’s called power it starts Jamie fox and Joseph Gordon-levvet
Great 😊
finally.
Don't blame the stormtroopers, blame Vader. All your money is going to maintain the US Empire rather than be re-invested in the community.
THANK YOU (But no, blame the stormtroopers, too. "Just following orders" is not a justified excuse.)
I think it's indian version should be come
One cannot always blame the power or the police , look at the crimes being committed by the hard core criminals, when these criminals break the law , they play the victim card about class , caste , creed , breed , religion, sex etc etc and then use the same laws and move freely in the society and harm innocent ppl , then whom should these innocent ppl turn to ? They will go to the police because not all ppl can become criminals, having said that some police personnel are racist and prejudiced but that does not mean that the entire force is tainted .
It is seen on the document Mary manc the long journey the cork get on to get on the Titanic
i wish i was an actress
Another season of family reunion)
We have some great police officers in America. Then we get the bad ones. I think too many ex-military are in the police force and they expect us to act like they are a General giving us orders. No one is above the law, even cops. I am a retired white women age 67 who has seen police officers abuse their power personally. I watched a man being beaten by a cop in the 1980s. White on white too. All the man did was get too drunk and be thrown out of a bar. What the cops did to him in the parking lot had me crying. Unfortunately for the cops, I worked at the State Attorneys Office and made a report about it to my superiors the next day at work. I am sure the man wondered why all his charges were dropped. They did it to hush it all up.
So you want people to go fight on your behalf for freedom but then you want to take their freedom to choose what job they want. The majority of cops are good people who want to make a difference in their respective communities. There are a few bad cops I'll agree but it's not a problem like the media makes it out to be. The majority of police shootings we see in the media are justified shootings. But the media likes to use justified shootings to push their racial agenda. And people see the media pushing the narrative and they start focusing on the racial aspect of the shooting instead of the crime that led to the shooting.
Good on you for reporting it. Accountability needs to go both ways.
But he's talking crap because he's this picture and it could be a Photoshop picture you would know information picture
I'm glad that the discussion regarding police is able to be held. This already looks like a very important piece of media and I appreciate the team of people involved with creating this.
It already seems anti police. I’m not saying the police are perfect, but we need them in our communities.
@@gamemaker416 I appreciate you acknowledging that the police aren't perfect. I'd add that they are far from perfect. In regards to needing them in communities, I think it's healthy to question social norms and societal institutions in order to ensure that they are actually beneficial to society and how they could be improved. Also if the trailer seems anti police, then I'm sure you can agree that there is a lot of media that is pro-police - books/tv shows/films etc that portray the police in a positive light - they may showcase some bad officers but they in general are formed around the basis of praising the institution itself. So it is definitely a good thing to bring more balance to the frequent usage of 'copaganda' that is within media by highlighting more of the reality of the influence and control that the police have and how their power impacts people. While there is plenty of discussion around the impact of the police, not everyone has access/time/knowledge of them to look into those resources, so it's great to have a source of media on a mainstream platform that can highlight more perspectives and information on the subject of the police.
Now here's a likkle truth, open up your eye While you're checkin' out the boom-bap, check the exercise Take the word overseer, like a sample Repeat it very quickly in a crew, for example Overseer, overseer, overseer, overseer Officer, officer, officer, officer Yeah, officer from overseer You need a little clarity? Check the similarity The overseer rode around the plantation The officer is off, patrollin' all the nation - _Sound of da Police,_ KRS-One
Police is problematic ? No shit !
‼️BRING BACK LOCKWOOD AND CO!
this ain't power book
What a dame shame, first Good Times and now this. In the words of Morgsn Freeman from. Dark Knight rises: Good Luck.
WOAH
thank you for this documentary.
Unregulated !Haa! Yeah ok....I guess there is a series or movie for everyone in Netflix, including for criminals.....this'll be a hit in prison....sick of woke and blm bs....
As a devoted Netflix viewer, I can't help but feel frustrated by the sudden end of some of the amazing Netflix Originals that came out the same year they ended. These shows had such potential and captivated audiences worldwide, only to be cancelled without a proper resolution. Not only is this disheartening for fans like myself, but it also does a disservice to the talented creators, writers, and actors who poured their hearts into these projects. One such show is Glitch Tech, which aired in 2020 but was abruptly cancelled after only two seasons. The show had a unique concept and a loyal fan base, yet it was left hanging with so many unresolved plotlines. The same goes for The Midnight Gospel, Centaurworld, The Cuphead Show, Dead End: Paranormal Park, and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off - all of which were cancelled after just one season except for the Cuphead show that was seemingly cancelled after 3 seasons, leaving fans disappointed and wanting more. It's frustrating to invest time and emotion into a show, only to have it end on a cliffhanger or without a proper conclusion. These shows deserve another chance to shine and continue their stories in a way that does justice to the creative vision of their creators.
so much nonsense
@@blob624 Trust me pal we're all thinking it my friend
Hello ❤
Lol propaganda right on queue just before June and strategically named Power after the Starz show so the right audience will find it by accident. Marketing brilliance. People are waking up and we see through the fear mongering and no ones buying into the cry wolf game anymore. No one that matters anyway.
Ghost and Tommy won't like this...
✌
Men
Yeah come... Leave a country without a police force and SEE what happeneds...
Maybe it would be mayhem when you live in a shit hole. Not really a problem when it is a half decent civilized place. Historically, it has happened before. A quasi-country full of people left with no government would just police themselves.
sad lil incel hick
No police of any sort & left to just private security with no regulation.
You need to relax
Woow
damn
I cant wait when their peacefully in these earth , no more looking down on humans , ❤🙏
❤
This is going to be hard to stomach and possibly painful to watch as well. Especially with the record that the police have when it comes to people of colour.
Yada yada….
Absolutely not true. Police keep communities safe from criminals. Police are not perfect but are very much important to helping us sleep at night. Democrats love oppression and crime.
Es una gran realidad, es una película basada en una historia real, creo que lo es.
Cállate progre
Ok… what kinda American are you?
Locked and loaded, ready to bring back order to the chaos.....
If you have done no wrong, you don’t have to worry.
lol this is a throwaway tagline that has been disproven time and time again throughout history.
It’s so simple, yet so difficult for so many to understand
YMH, that's not always true, unfortunately.
LOL, idi0t.
🥱 🥱 😴
Needed ❤ I love Netflix
Now make a documentary called Anarchy, which is the result of no police.
So there's no middle ground? There's either racist, trigger happy police or no police. Those are the options for America lol
@@_Sarby1eh if u think about everyone is a racist and happy trigger person just without the police part
Anarchy is not just no police, there is no order and there is no government either. The shut of the government could be direct result of no police.
You're about as intelligent as a boiled potato.
SPOT THE DRACO🐍=53... SIMULATION=35👍👍👍✌
Definition of being a police officer or law enforcement person = OBNOXIOUSLY ENFORCING obnoxious & ANNOYING LAWS onto people 😃
Not saying police are perfect but there are good police officers that keep their communities safe and are practically the reason we can sleep at night. Leftists, on the other hand, want anarchy and crime.
Yeah.....drug abusers and other criminals usually get annoyed by them.....
@@sienega4625 Totally checks out. Do I defend everything the police does? Absolutely not. But they are absolutely important in our communities.
Oh geez, more activist shit.
Without activist in the past you already would have lived in a dystopian world... There would still be slaves, ppl of colour would still be 2nd, or even be 3rd rate citizen. Women would not have rights. And many more shit like that, that gives ppl like Trump a hard on.
Strange how the FBI raid of Trump's Mar-A-Lago was not included though...
I'm NOT even trusting law enforcement for safety because this
Does not look fair and balanced
Does to me
Best police of America but not all
Netflix catering to toxic mindset😂 great job
Im guessing U.S police and fox News and probably a good percentage of the right will not be a fan of this documentary haha For that alone it's a definite much watch 😅
I was going to watch but then I saw who the director was and I realized it was going to be trash
Bro, who asked?
Not watching
you dont like the truth?
@@blob624 What is the truth?
❄️
@@blob624The truth is this will be a biased anti police documentary. How well did this work in California, Portland, and Chicago? I wonder.
Cops are scum@@josecalero6006
Im 30 years old, not white, and yet between me and my family, we all have a clear record, have never been arrested or detained, or even searched though we live in a big city. Yes, we partook in protests as well. Yes, I've got into fights, took drugs, held extreme views, and had good times at the massage spa. Funny that
Great story you told does making things up on the Internet make you feel better when absolutely the opposite happens to poc who don't do drugs etc and they end up dead at the hands of police
You must be a levelheaded individual, who knows how to act when pulled over by the police.
@@_Sarby1 How about don’t act like a idiot, and you won’t have any issues. Notice it’s only your people who have problems with law enforcement no other POC have issues. So who is the problem? Y’all literally destroy your own communities and y’all are each other’s worst enemy. Yall are the only people in America who have more young people go to jail then college. 72% of your kids are without a father. But sure let’s blame everyone else.
@@mcstocks5395 Exactly I agree. I am Hispanic and never had a issue with law enforcement because I don’t act like a idiot or pull the race card.
THIS NEEDS THAT KANYE WEST SONG ON IT
Why? So a billionaire can make money from it lol the fool that said slavery was a choice and will never have to deal with being a black man in America pulled over by a trigger happy police officer. So no.
Well this is stupid.
Wow another woke show ..
Cope harder.
@@jackpotdadonYep. We are so triggered by your party wanting crime and anarchy. How well did defund the police turn out in California, Portland, and Chicago?
@@gamemaker416 first of all they never defunded the police dipshit actually they got more funding that's how much you know so keep bitching about woke games and movies chud.
And another Incel is ready to comment!
Better be careful, someone might actually call you a bootlicker.
THIS COMMENT WILL GET MANY LIKES❤
