Great vid Anthony keep up the good work and thanks
Thank you
thank you for talking about relevant issues and helping people 💛
thank you so much for making this video, you're honestly so understanding and good about this just * chef's kiss *
If Officer Scissorhands over here can't even cut a ziptie without almost slicing people's hands off, maybe he shouldn't be trusted with a damn gun.
True
Preach
period
He was probley doing it on purpose
Exactly
Serious props to Anthony for not saying "the wondrous world" of police brutality out of habit.
I was looking for this comment.
Like when he said it with immunocompromised people😅 And Zach was like "yikes"
I was literally holding my breath to see what the opening phrase was going to be lol
While i love the interviews as a whole I think that he should change that permanently, sometimes it's just not fitting at all
He might have but they cut it
All I wanna say is. It takes 4-6 *years* to become a lawyer. It takes 4-6 *months* to become a police officer. So 4-6 years to learn the law, but only 4-6 months to enforce it.
It’s becuase cops are paid too low to justify more education, someone isn’t gonna spend $80k in college to learn a job which makes on the high end 50-60k per year. People trying to defund the police will just result in less well trained cops
It's because they're underfunded, uncared for, the government doesn't pay for half their shit, FBI doesn't do their job, and becoming a lawyer is a lot more rewarding than being part of the PD. Also, it takes a lot more than KNOWING the law to become a lawyer, whilst police still learn about it while on duty and even during traffic stops.
that's so powerful, thank you for sharing.
@@beccaholden-sharma8049 No, no it really isn't.
@@uncommonsense7830 i can assure you they definitely get funded enough
I had a police officer arrest me for getting beaten by my dad. He said "you look like a bad person." "Just because you're a crying girl doesn't mean anything" "don't talk, your parents are speaking". I never was photographed with the bruises all over my body and he wouldn't let me have a voice or a choice. I was locked up. Then months later when I was released, my parents locked me out of the house where my belongings were so I called a sheriff, he arrived, and he said "I know what you've done. I don't want to hear anything from you." And he said to my parents that he understands them but unfortunately they have to let me in..
please tell me you are not with them anyomore! this is sicken me..
Oh my god, that's horrible
and then people wonder why abuse victims don’t call the police most of the time
THIS! I got arrested and put in the back of a police car because I called the cops on my dad for not only abusing me but my siblings as well, he told me I needed to listen to my parents and that everyone needed tough love. HAD HE ACTUALLY CARED HE WOULD KNOW 1.) the police were called at least once a month due to noise complaints(my father screamed like 24/7) bruises on myself and siblings. 2.) CPS had come to the house at least 10 times in just that year, and 3.) we had already been placed in a foster home prior due to child neglect. And this dumb ass cop wanted to tell me to “listen” to my abuser. I had bruises, I had scars, my siblings had bruises but you know “kids will be kids, they just like to rough house” 🙄
@@LexiNichole wtf how can people actually believe that? It's so aggravating to know that police officers like you and the op mentioned exist and most likely will not learn that this is not the right way to handle a situation like this. How does a human lack that much basic empathy

Pulled over 3-4 times a week?! And shot 5 TIMES point blank range?! I’m a white Australian woman and I have been pulled over twice in my 10 years of having a license. If somebody was shot by a Copper at point blank range 5 times in australia they would absolutely loose their job and their would be a massive inquiry. I can’t comprehend how much American coppers use their guns! Someone is fired at about once, Yes ONCE PER YEAR and it’s a freaking big deal here. If you guys had better gun control I think that you’d also have less police violence. There’s approx 3mil guns in Aus VS 393mil In the US! Something has to change for you guys
My mom has been driving for 22 years, and she's only been pulled over for an expired registration. She's gone 20mph over the speed limit or drivin like a psycho in front of police officers, but they just kinda let it go. Getting pulled over for literally nothing, then getting shot at is just insane to me.
How do the police tell that someone is black from behind their car
N Ram they can look up license plates to see who owns the car
@@nram7290 Often times police are just sitting somewhere (the same way speed traps work) and waiting and watching who drives by. If they see an easy target, they'll start to follow, maybe run the plates, and invent a reason to pull them over in the first place like: running a stop sign or going a little under the speed limit or failing to signal (which they wouldn't have known if they weren't stalking you) or driving a nicer car than they would expect you to be driving or having something hanging from your rearview mirror or maybe that person "met a description".

I was thirteen at the time, and was walking back home with my (black) friend, who I’ll call Alex. Im Native American/white and I look like it too. Alex and I were both raised to fear the police instead of respecting them. We were walking back from a BLM protest (ironic) when we got stopped by a police officer. He asked us what we were doing, and we said we were walking home. I had a backpack full of first aid supplies and snacks, along with signs. He “thought there were drugs in there” and demanded me to take off my bag so he could search it. He searched it, didn’t find anything, and demanded to do a full-body pat down. On two teenage girls. Alex refused, I told him to let us go because we weren’t doing anything. That’s when he drew his gun. Now, my dad was in the military for twenty years, and had trained me vigorously on gun safety (how to fire, how to clean, and how to defend yourself against someone with a gun). I did what you’re supposed to do if you get a gun pulled on you, which is to close the distance and do not, under any circumstance, let them pull that trigger. He was aiming it at Alex, and was yelling at both of us to get on the ground. I screamed at him to stop, screamed for help from anyone who could’ve heard. That’s when the gun went off. No amount of action movies prepared me for the absolute pain I felt. I was lucky enough for the bullet to have missed the bone and arteries, but it lodged into the flesh of my thigh. I went down, and he pointed the gun at Alex again. I was screaming for help and in pain, and he pointed it at me to get me to shut up. I was fully convinced I was going to die, so I yelled at him to go to hell. I cursed him out while I was bleeding profusely. I don’t remember what happened after that, but I was under the knife within the hour. They got the bullet out, stopped the bleeding, etc etc. My family sued, Alex’s family sued. Nothing. No dice. I, a child, have to use crutches and have severe PTSD. Because one man had a power trip. If anything, I’m happy that Alex didn’t get shot. I’d rather I get shot than her. It’s not as severe as some other stories, but that’s mine. Fuck the police.
I'm glad you're willing to tell this story it's horrible how this cop treated you I don't think I could ever imagine how that feels. Like I'm told to trust in the cops whenever I'm in trouble and I still do... but it hurts to see that they get away with such horrible things.
run at someone with a gun? u get shot. ur an idiot for thinking ur military dad would tell you to run at a cop who has his gun drawn.
Nothing???wtf!
That is so insane, no one should go through that especially kids. It hurts me that mostly the black community deal with this, im from Scotland I'm as white as it gets tbh we don't get the sun much here so I'm like a milk bottle. I dont understand why this happens I love black people I dont see them anymore of a threat than a white or Chinese person. Everyone should be treated equal, colour shouldn't define what you are, who you are and what people think about you. I hope this stuff gets better its heart breaking to see innocent people being harmed and by police too!.
you shouldn’t compare your situation to others and say “it wasn’t as severe”. ANY form of police brutality is unjustified, uncalled for, and disgusting. i know the mental and physical pains may never disappear, but i hope overtime you’ve slowly been able to cope with it. what they did was disgusting and though you don’t deserve the situation you’re in now, the best we can do is keep living and calling out this atrocious behavior. i hope you’re safe now, take care of yourself too. ❤
Anthony was so right when he said that "being shot" is so desensitized in the media...Like in every movie there will be people who are shot and then they'll go back to fighting the next day. Like it just makes "I was shot irl" sound so normal....That's just straight up awful
The girls hand that was cut up like that HAD to be intentional. You're a trained officer and can't cut zip ties maybe you shouldn't have a loaded gun either like wtf
Yeah like if he wasnt trying to injure her he would've cut upwards but he purposely cut down and stabbed her in various places- people like this shouldn't be in any kind of authority
I have no doubts that she was just telling upu what she wants you to think, dor all we know, she tried to go after the police officer
She also wasnt evwn a victm of police brutality, she was told to go home, and if she told the officers that her car was where it was, she would have gotten through.
@@jesstonheath1488 even if she did "go after them", which is unlikely, she was tied up and defenceless when the violence happened. Why would stabbing her be ok? It's still brutality and she survived it.
Jesston Heath u really think they would have let her sit on that curb and get bandaged up and go to the hospital completely free if she had attacked a police officer lol no. she wasn’t even being accusatory or verbally attacking the officer, she just said that she looked down and noticed that her hands were cut up.
You can see how disgusted Anthony is when the dude was talking about how he was shot 5 times
2k like no reply i guess im first!
nice
i was disgusted as well when i heard that
His facial expressions always have a life of their own!
The cop really said “I hope you f*****g die” wow.....America. Frickin. Sucks. I’m tryna move to Canada
fact: your allowed to be under the influence in your own home.
Sir, you've been charged with DUI: doing nothing wrong under the influence
The victim blaming in the comment section is disgusting, shame on all of you for defending these officers actions.
I haven't seen any?

Not all police are bad. I am of color and I used to go to the station for my dads work and they treated me amazing. Not all are bad
@@joeschmoe9657 obviously not every single police person is rude, but the whole system is bastardised and all the police people support the system and thus they support police brutality
@@Phoenix-cg3hq so you are the one who blames the group and not the individual
When I was a child, my father was extremely abusive. He would use his belt like a whip and leave welts on my older brother. One night, my brother had enough and called the cops. Let me note, we're very white. When the cops showed up, the first thing they did was ask my brother what he'd done to deserve it. (he'd gotten suspended for fighting, classic sign of an abused child taking it out on someone else.) One of the cops pulled my brother aside and told him "If you *ever* call us for something like this again, I'll let your dad borrow *my* belt." And then they left. Children begging for help. No one cared.
Wow
That is so horrible
Im so sorry that this happened to you and your brother
That shouldn't happen at ALL I hope both you and your brother are safe now ❤️
Holy shit I'm so sorry. Is your brother okay?
I'm a young white woman who has had my license for almost 6 years. I've got pulled over twice for speeding. In both those instances I was in the wrong, but still terrified. This man is doing nothing wrong and is getting pulled over more in one week than I have in six years. That is not okay.
thank you for realizing the privilege you have as a white person. we need more people like you, who are able to open their eyes and see the unfair way that people of color are treated.
@@ptrclschlls Thank you! I reccomend every white person struggling to understand, watches 13th. The entire documentary is on KZhead now and it changed the way I perceived a lot of things.
im a young woman and i drove my car without a lisense i got arrested 3 times and the 3 TIMES they let me go without nothing like legit let me drive off without a lisense LIKE WTF
It still boggles my mind ....I have been thinking about this exact thing more and more ..the same thing ...I am a licensed driver, I am 33 I have been pulled over 2 times, once for not having my headlights switched all the way on, and once when I moved to a different state and I hadn't gotten my emissions testing done yet and my plates came back saying I hadn't done that yet, and both times I wasn't given any trouble, 🤷🏼♀️ never been written a ticket ...anything. But this guy gets shot 5 times, after presenting his registration, insurance and everything ... Like wth is going on 😳 it's disturbing and disgusting. This is not how things should be .
good for u white dude
To see Leon be able to smile and laugh after what happened to him is a testament to the human spirit and especially his spirit.... it’s so f**ked up that happened to him and ALL the others. May he blessed and protected throughout the rest of his days...much love..to ALL.
People will try to justify shooting someone by saying "they ran away."
i’m glad he changed it from “the wonderous world of _______” to “the unfortunate reality of _______” specifically for this video
cherrykyun if he did the TWWO_ he would endure the fury of the internet

I hope he will use it for more of situations, like there were already a few videos that TWWo ___ felt really out of place
Wiktorus 565 what’s twwo?
@@headerspbj770 'the wonderful world of...' it's the way anthony starts these videos usually
Ok guys, he didn't say wondrous, everything is fine.
thank goodness
That was why i came to this video i wanted to see what he would say
that’s what i was thinking!
lmaooo💀💀💀
i hoped he would say wondrous would be so funny
Every person in America should see this video. They should play this in elementary, middle, and high schools. It's SO IMPORTANT.
they are living in it bet they knew already especially schools
I highly doubt everybody here is telling the exact truth because you are only showing one side of the interaction but you know go ahead diagnose the problem in America and use it as a remedy for our children
I've been watching these videos for a while now, and I have so much respect for the way you conduct interviews and the fact that you aren't afraid to make videos like this one. Thank you for giving voice to real people who are going through things that we aren't "allowed" to talk about.
I find it funny that officers use the excuse "I feel threatened" when they're the ones carrying a god damn weapon
K
Exactly. Like the man in the video, he was shot five times and then charged with aggravated assault! It should be the cops getting charged.
Honestly like you’re the one with a weapon how are you threatened by someone who’s unarmed
They feel so threatened, when they outnumber the victims and have dangerous weapons
Auriyana c it could be a matter that the officer dosent know if they have a concealed weapon such as interrogation of someone in a car if they reach over to a blind side of an officer they don’t know if your placing an object or reaching to grab a knife or other weapon to swiftly kill them before they can react
The stories are so scary and absolutely terrible. No one should be treated like this
It makes me so furious that people of color have to go through this
True but this is America where people have way too much freedom and rights so the whole country is falling apart
How do u know for sure that they are telling the truth?
Equinox because the majority were caught on camera and have witnesses
Equinox You gotta be that shallow? The woman who was stabbed has scars. The man who was shot has pictures of when he was in the hospital and had police footage of what happened. How could a woman lie about her own dads death? They are not lying. This issue is real. The racial issues these people are going through are REAL. Systemic racism and police brutality EXIST. Whether you think these people are lying or not. ACAB.
I love how Anthony is just like so understanding and he like has an ability to make people comfortable talking bout this stuff like we need more people like him 💙
I love how all of the people got almost an equal amount of screen time. I feel like that's mainly because all of these stories need to be heard so that people can be educated. Anthony is such a good interviewer.
imagine having to explain to your child that a police officer shot you. I feel like that alone could give the child so many trust issues.
What
It just makes you wary of police officers. My dad telling me he had been shot for no good reason other than being suspicious by police just made me dislike and steer clear of cops. It didn't give me trust issues tho.
Aarolavi imagine being a parent to a child, and having to tell them the people who should protect you, shot you
If you tell them ACAB from the start, they won't have trust issues
naps acab lol such a moronic take
Crazy thing about the girl who's hand was cut is either the officer did it intentionally (most likely) or he was just plain unqualified. Both of those option shows he should not be having that position and a loaded gun.
He shouldn't be trusted with a teabag.

I appreciate the Definition of “Defund the Police” because I’ve heard about it but I wasn’t Very sure what it really was. I now say: DEFUND THE POLICE.
why should all the police officers suffer for what only some police officers did
@@theflyingsandwich2586 they Shouldn’t. There’s a LOT of bad officers it doesn’t mean they’re all bad tho and i know that myself. Although the Money put towards training and weapons for Police could be better spent by putting them towards things like shelters, and helping with mental health issues, stuff like that.
@@mingsworld888 Yeah my dad is a police officer and i agree that they should try to train most of them better, he's one of the good ones though
@@theflyingsandwich2586 I think cops will not suffer if they don't get any more military equipment (and they might suffer even less if crime prevention programs were a thing)
@@theflyingsandwich2586 Police officers wouldn't be getting paid less, there would be less treating every arrest like a swat team. Giving them more funding doesn't mean they'd start getting proper training, so removing some money wouldn't make the individuals suffer. What is truly needed is an entire reform of the system and it's unfortunately only one of many that needs to be reestablished and developed into something beneficial to all, not just an idea of safety for some.
Thank you so much for doing this entire series. I have been watching all day. It has given me a lot of perspective on many important topics
I really admire the background Leon chose for his interview.
Jordan Maish I agree. It's a great way to spread the message out there.
I wish there was a couple names off of it. If you do some research theres a couple that were totally justified. They were scumbags who got what was coming to them but just because they're black and were killed by cops they stick their name on there and make a murder out to be a victim.
5.56 X 45mm no one deserves to be killed.
5.56 X 45mm “scumbags who got what was coming to them”? which names? What actions did any of those names take that made it soo acceptable for cops to murder them?
5.56 X 45mm doesn’t matter what they did, they were still murdered by police
I feel so bad for the girl who’s father passed, she so young and she is going through all of this and it is just sad
To think there’s people from the age of 5 that experience this first hand too... kids that get killed by police for playing outside or even see their fathers get shot.... it’s heartbreaking that this IS people’s reality and ignorant bigots still choose to reject the facts.
And the fact that she lost friends probably because everyone thought her dad was a criminal.
passed
He did pass away he was murdered there’s a difference
“Yeah I pulled him over for running through a stop sign” “Oh so you gave him a ticket?” “No, I shot him 5 times” “Understandable have a nice day”
I like the way he didnt say ’the wonderess world of police brutality.’ also I’m so sorry for all the people they interviewed. People should deserve better rights. People should be able to trust and be able to rely on police instead of being scared and mortified. People are emotionally and physically scared by them that nobody can trust them anymore
I perfectly trust them, because over 90% are there to protect you and they're extremely kind.
Slaves didn’t want “power” they wanted equity and justice.
Exactly. They wanted, and black people still want, to not feel powerless
No one said they wanted power lmao
Equinox 1:05
Equinox u missed the point
I got agitated when anthony said they wanted power
An officer paralyzed a man for speeding and then the officer gets promoted? Smh
Preston Yotter you mean. An officer stopped a man from trying to run away from police succesfully and kept the streets safe this way.
Nick no. He told him to do it he tried to do what he said and he shot him pretty sure they were trying to kill him
@@Nick-vc8dx You dont end someone for at most damaging someone elses car. That police oficer was major overeacting. the officer wasn't trying to keep that dude from running away, he was trying to kill him
I've met him
Yeah that cop needs to be arrested
This is absolutely amazing. I cannot think of a better use of such a platform
This series will never get old. Love you, Anthony!!
Even the police dogs in Germany have a longer training time than the officers in the USA
Luna W maybe because dogs are way harder to train and get them to be consistent enough takes a lot of time?
Nick that might be. Nonetheless, training 6 months at most to become a police officer is clearly not enough. And apparently humans aren’t consistent enough to protect the people instead of hurting them either soo
@@Nick-vc8dx ?? but they only have a few tasks to complete, while humans have many more specific scenarios and laws to study
@@rocki7426 still: dogs are harder to train,than making humans learn.
Luna W I thought you need 4 years of training to be a police, like a college degree. Damn if that's how America does it, they're really messed up.
I love that Anthony isn’t afraid of talking about sensitive topics.
Deanna Rodriguez It shows that he really cares about the topic and doesn’t do it for the money as most of his videos are demonetised
It just shows that he really cares about the topic and isn’t just in it for the money as most of his videos get demonetised
It shouldn’t even be a sensitive topic it’s basically common sense at this point to improve our country
AND HE GETS DEMONETIZED. a true king
Sensitive is an understatement
As someone in canada where stuff like this is rare. Hearing these stories and accounts really put things in perspective for me. So thank you
yet again, anthony producing some of the most helpful videos out there on educating misunderstood topics
The girl that said Karen’s treat the police like a customer service line in America is 100% accurate. If you call a copper in aus for something trivial you cop a fine.
It’s now considered a felony charge in New York but not everywhere. It should be considered a felony everywhere.
That is definitely something we need to implement
Shot 5 times, hands sliced and 21 stitches, and a father being killed. God have mercy. People need to be held accountable for their actions. We all bleed the same. ♥️#Justice
yes just because you’re a police you should be held accountable for your actions. Black lives matter just as much as white lives.

Being born, raised and living outside of the US, it can be hard to fully grasp what led to the strong BLM and ACAB voices, as well as the riots that took place around the time of this video. I've known on paper what it was about, but hearing these individuals share their personal pain and disbelief has been a good window into understanding why the movement is as strong as it is. What they experienced is bad enough on its own, but having it happen at the hands of people who are supposed to be the 'good guys' with little to no consequences, that has to be the biggest insult society could throw at you. Thank you for the insight, and I hope that things are moving in the right direction
I love how he made this Chanel to help inform the world about what is actually happening in the world and he lets these people tell their story’s to show us the truth
That awkward monent when your job is to protect people from murderers but then you become one 😬
how embarrassing 😞
Oopsies😳
I'm okay,how about you?
This is just sad police are supposed to protect people and they don’t get held accountable if they shoot an innocent person!! it doesn’t matter what your skin color is you shouldn’t be killed just because you have a different skin color. These poor innocent black people just living their normal lives and they just get killed. it’s just really sad. Black lives matter. Why can’t we all just be equal?
pretty embarrassing for them.. 😳

Anytime I see Elijah, my heart literally hurts. He played violin for kittens bruh. How do you kill someone like that?
I KNOW!!! His death in particular really really messed with me. How the hell do people still say "blue lives matter" when beautiful people like Elijah are being killed, with no consequences to his murderers (as far as I know-) Not to mention that police tear gassed a peaceful group of people that played violin publicly in remembrance of him.
And his last words are so upsetting, it makes me cry every time
@@f7ck1ng_c10wn people still say blue Lives matter because police lives exponentially more in danger than black ones statistically yet people like u demonize them. Heard of officer Dorn? I think not.
@Mrinmoy Das The difference is that no one HAS to be a police officer, it’s not a blue LIFE. Black people are and forever will be their race. They had no say in the matter.
@Mrinmoy Das They talk about how unfair Elijah's death was and _that's_ what you have to say? Get your facts straight.
It’s like the Stanford prison experiment. If people get power they often abuse it. And the fact that they can get away with it only makes it worse. Hopefully it gets better one day. No one should be treated like this.

@@ellaellaellaella555 true! i wrote a paper about this for one of my classes. the results are too specifically from a certain demographic to be reliably applied to all people. i highly doubt the results would be the same if the group was white women, black women, black men, latinx, etc
Fun fact: The stamford prision experiment is a sham. The man who made it hired his buddy to influence what the "guards" did. He admitted it years later but nobody ever cared much because the initial "findings" helped shift blame away from police officers. The "its human nature" argument is completely untrue. The experiment was replicated by the BBC resulting in prisioners and guards chilling together by day 3. They stopped using the cells and all ate together, again they aired it on TV expecting it to be dramatic but didnt get much press when it ended up just being a bunch of dudes chilling in harmony. It is in human nature to be good. It is the inhertinly racist bigoted police system that influence individual officers into acting inhumanely, and then unions protect the perpetrators. Thats what made the police system the shitshow it is today.
@@ellaellaellaella555 The Stanford Prison Experiment is massively misrepresented. People think the participants were simply told they had power and then chose to abuse it, but in reality they were lied to about the entire nature of the experiment. They were told that the experiment was on the prisoners to test how they reacted to the mistreatment and were commanded to be strict and cruel as part of the experiment requirements. Then when the results came out the organizers of the experiment flipped the script and acted as if they were shocked by the participants doing as they were told. The true takeaway from the experiment should be that people are willing to do horrible things to others and abuse their power freely as long as they are told by others to do it or that it's okay. People don't uphold their supposed moral code when their actions are "justified." Another experiment in which people were given the ability to administer electric shocks showed the same thing. Upon being told by the person running the experiment to turn up and up and up the shock strength, they continued to do it despite seeing that the person they were administering the shock to was hurt and possibly in danger bc it was "justified" by the fact they were told it's okay to do it.
@@randomhuman8649 haha re-correction. Re examining the buzzer experiment researchers found only 20% actually believed the experiment was hurting someone as it was approved by Harvard, the 20% that did believe it may be real went all the way to the final round when they were told they had no choice but to press it, then all but one pressed it. Why? Interviewing the participants they found that they were willing to do something bad "in the name of science". They were told the study was about memory and retrieval and their help in the research would help cute Alzheimer's. So the real takeaway is more about misinformation and not letting the goal justify the means.
The exact thing happened toy father as well. Were a family of 7, most of us have already moved out doing our own thing, only one of my sisters and parents still live together. Theres been a lot of drama in my family between those three, he was drinking a lot and has caused some trauma for my sister. He was not allowed into the house essentially because my sister got a restraining order for him, they let him stay in a shed of sorts because they didnt want to leave him homeless after almost 30 years of living together and we still love him, he was there even if he wasnt present, he was a great guy when sober, a woodworker etc. So long story short, he got drunk one night and wanted to enter the house or something, my sister called the police on him. When they arrived they basically dragged him into the vehicle, my mother heard one of the officers telling 'be careful he's going to suffocate'. After few hours my mother got a call from them saying that he had died during the trip to the police station. It's alleged that their actions caused it, we didn't sue anyone, there was no bringing him back.
Omg my heart breaks for these people. The girl with her father, finding out he died, she was 15. That’s MY age. I can’t imagine having to go through that. 😭 POC (especially Black people) get so much hate just for the color of their skin. Why can’t we just put down the guns, think for a second, and instead of hating people for their differences, embrace them and love them and celebrate these differences. (If you can’t love them, at least just be a decent human being, and don’t voice you’re hate towards anyone.)
What I can’t wrap my head around is if someone is sexually assaulted and kills the person committing the crime in self defence, they get years of prison, if a police officer shoots and kills a man who is on all fours with an assault rifle for not being able to get up without using his hands, it’s an accident?
To make matters even worse if they don't fight back and instead call to report the sexual assault, most of the time the attacker is let go with minor chargers. Rape- 1 year of restraining order & a written apology letter to my mother & I. A year later he began harassing me. I reported it & after being put on hold & sent to a ton of different lines I finally was told that I could not get another restraining order & instead could join a group for others who have been through what I've been through for support... I didn't need support. I needed safety. My boyfriend at the time beat the shit out of the kid when he skipped school one day (my boyfriend was graduated). My boyfriend was arrested & charged for doing what the system couldn't... protecting me. The kid never looked or talked to me ever again.

Can you interview people in the military that have been sexually abused or wrongly treated and how they deserve justice! For Vanessa Guillen and Gregory Morales RIP
It may be extremely hard to get people to come forward about that. The military has its own legal system to deal with internal crimes. I doubt victims would feel safe putting those accusations out there, or even if they legally could.
Maybe like an anonymous thing??
I have a family member that was sexually abused in the military
There have been quite a few servicemembers making their story public, I feel like he could definitely find a few people willing to be interviewed
yes i second this !! i know on twitter, a lot of people have been sharing their stories with the hashtag #iamvanessaguillen so it'd def be east to find people willing to go on camera and speak about their experiences
This is EXACTLY why I want to become an officer. This is awful, and I think we need to slowly replace the officers we currently have with people who aren’t sociopaths.
My thoughts exactly. I don’t think there’s any other way to do it either. Good people just need to be exceptionally good cops and stand up for what is right. Even while in front of their co-workers or not on a bodycam. Not “most” or “a lot” of the time. All the time is the only right answer here! Another good point that was brought up in this video was that i think it definitely creates a better sense of community and a deeper understanding for others when you work where you personally grew up. Or at least locally. People seem to not understand this point because it strengthens the relationship & trust between the police and the public, especially when you respect civilians and make them feel understood/safe within a super tough situation. Which is the police’s main job beside “protect and serve (always with a 🔫 pointed at your face ofc 🙄)”. Yeah obviously a whole lotta “protecting” going on. Only ever for cops and for other fellow friends of cops. Bunch of arrogant idiots licking each others boots is what it is. This crap needs to end already. It’s time someone finally investigated the bs court cases ruled in favor of the cops in over 97% of the time!!. It’s sad- people become cops to “help” people, then become nothing but criminals in uniform. Sickens me that violence could be so normalized like this, When the whole point was to supposedly help people. Not to cause even more harm and suffering wth..
@@bismexual_king so glad you agree!!
@@mattcuch9795I hope you can make change
Not one of these grand people claimed to be a victim and avoided that term and that's just mind boggling to me and I give so much respect to them
A friend of mine just had a baby, a baby boy. She's white, her husband is black, so their baby boy is mixed. When they found out they were having a boy, her husband's first thought wasn't "I'm so excited!" It wasn't "wow, I can't wait for my baby boy to be here!" It was "oh god, I hope the police don't kill him when he's older..." THAT is absolutely heartbreaking. White people don't have to worry about that. When my brother (who is white) was 16, there were protests going on at the school he went to. He was eventually told to leave the premises, and he agreed, he just said he had to go get my younger brothers. Because he didn't listen, he was arrested and booked overnight in prison. Yeah, he eventually got it expunged from his record, but that cost him multiple jobs and made finding a home much harder. And he's LUCKY that's all he dealt with. I can guarantee if he was black, he either would've been brutally beaten, or even killed. It's heartbreaking this is the reality we face
my heart breaks on your behalf with that first thought like wow. this is the reality we live in.
White people are killed more by the police though. Police brutality effects all races, it just that the black one's are the ones filmed.
Danny Dorrito I totally agree
I wouldn't say "white people don't have to deal with that" but rather "everyone who isn't American doesn't have to deal with that"
@@dannydorrito2315 what? there are more white people than black people in usa lol
I feel awful that innocent people have to go through this, it’s not fair.
Even guilty people don’t deserve this. Police need to learn how to handle suspects better. Not everyone needs to be shot or handled so roughly.
@@KURRDA exactly. I really hate that people think anyone could be guilty enough (despite also claiming everyone is innocent until proven guilty) to experience anything like this.

When I was 14 I was walking home from school with my best friend. I feel the need to mention that we are both white, but I sometimes get mistaken for Hispanic due to my tanner skin and curly hair. When we were just a few blocks from my house a squad car started following us very slowly. I made the decision to stop and see what the office wanted. When he approached us he told me that I matched the outfit description of a teenage runway. I was wearing blue jeans and a black sweater. I asked who had called it in just in case it was for me and this man seriously said “that’s classified”. He completely ignored my friend during this entire experience and kept asking for an ID even after I told him I was only 14 and didn’t have one. The whole experience felt super sketchy. 2 years later I had a seizure during a babysitting job. When the woman I work for called the ambulance a police office showed up and started yelling at her about what drugs I had taken. She calmly explained that I have epilepsy but he refused to listen and insisted that she must be my dealer. I know these experiences aren’t as extreme or as dangerous as the ones in the video, but I wanted to share to show how deeply engrained fear mongering, racism, and needlessly arresting people is in the police system.
it's still vvery messed up how the "crime" was the main concern, but not your wellbeing
I'm sorry but where was the racism in that. You matched the look of someone you were looking in the first scenario and in the second it was literally just an asshole cop with no mention of race
Alex Thompson I realize that my description of the first experience probably didn’t make this clear, but the whole runaway story he approached me with seemed completely made up. It occurred 30mins after school let out and if I actually was reported as missing my bright red hair would’ve probably been mentioned. I had one of the most basic outfits on and he never even asked for my name. He also never acknowledged my very pale friend during the entire encounter. I can only assume he targeted me due to my appearance.

@@yoitschlo3283 but you're hair is also part of you're appearance. And since there's no real evidence it was made up you're kinda reaching here aren't you? I'm tired of everyone trying to play race victim. You got lebron James saying "we're hunted everyday"( literal lie). People who say racism is in everything and people who assume racism at first glance. One if the problems with BLM is the same with the feminist wage gap. They assume minorities are completely oppressed so they instantly assume that all disparities must be due to discrimination. I'm sorry but systematic racism doesn't exist. You give BLM a little power and they're destroying your streets, help implementing racial laws and morality policing and outright attacking people while marching with the communist saying "we will tread". The co-founder said they were "trained Marxists" and they are destroting all statues while calling the 4th of July and mount Rushmore "white supremacy". They clearly aren't fighting for us but just trying to use racism as a cover for their real motives.
Man injustices like this makes an anger burn inside me that hard to describe

Being arrested for speaking up about racism is honestly the most respectable thing, like Ik she was injured but she pretty darn strong, good for her!
She was so brave for that, I respect her.
I know right, That’s a respectable way to get arrested.
Can we talk about the cop who shot a guy while he was operating a vehicle? Like the car is moving and you decide to severely incapacitate the driver? They could’ve crashed into other cars, or a house, or any pedestrian! Reckless decision making at it’s finest!
And then they act like it's his fault because "He was running away from a life-threatening event! I have to shoot him while he's operating a vehicle." Like you ain't in Overwatch or Fortnite or something this isn't the game where you're SUPPOSED to get a quintuple kill. This is real life where you're supposed to do your job correctly and protect people no matter their race.
I mean how would stop that car?

Unless you thought Jasmine was referring to The Taquito Pickles (which may be the case, considering you used "his", and the original commenter is likely a girl according to their username), in which case, the use of "it's" was correct.

So the random civilian with no training is supposed to keep their calm and act as a robot, but a trained policeman whose job is to know how to act in those situations can freak out and go as far as kill someone? Yeah, seems legit.

@@bebe-nh5tf My first experience ever with the police was me watching the police beat my 12 year old white friend who was a boy while yelling "stop resisting arrest" while he cried and peed his pants. He was not resisting arrest, had not been disrespectful, or said or did anything wrong. There is a culture of violence in American police and black people get the brunt of it.
I just realized I never really understood what "defund the police" means. I don't live in the US so I'm only familiar with these problems from what I've seen on the internet or the news and they didn't explain it the way it was in this video. Thank you.
I'm glad this video helped. I haven't got to that part of the video yet, but police budgets are crazy bloated here. Seattle Police Department has a budget of roughly 410 million. Every other Seattle overarching social program, including education and tackling our homeless crisis, has a budget of around 100 million(each). Our police chief and 30 other officers make ~300k+ a year and the police chief has a budget of 10 million allocated just for them. It's gross.
As an addition to the wonderful, informative comment before me, ‘defund the police’ basically means dividing and relocating the money into other programs that require some as well; like housing, therapies, rehabs, senior centers, etc. With how inflamed the budgets are for police departments, if we manage to relocate the money, they’d still have millions of dollars on the side. It’s basically equal distribution of the money, as much as we can anyways. At least that’s my own interpretation of the information I researched, so it might not be an accurate description. Please feel free to correct me !
defunding doesn’t inevitably mean to “repeal police force” it just first of all means to cut its budget. There are actually cops that are willing support this if it means them not having to deal with emergencies they are not trained to handle
I'm glad this video helped it's so sad that so many people talk crap about things people say like defund the police ACAB and BLM without even knowing what it means and why people use it
And that is exactly what some people wanted. Glad videos like this exist.
This video really helped me understand what people meant by saying “let’s defund the police,” I now know that when someone says that they aren’t trying to put bad on people they are just trying to put that money to better causes. Thank you for making this video I think it really helped a lot of people (including me) understand the seriousness of this problem and god bless everyone who had to go though that or feel like that. Everyone deserves peace and respect especially right now so let’s all show that by opening the door for someone, wearing a mask in public, having manners (thank you, excuse me) and think before commenting something (think about if it’s gonna hurt someone if so don’t send it or revise it so it’s uplifting criticism). Let’s all be kind and happy today so just spread love. Have a great day! 😊😇
yeah defunding the police still isn’t a good answer at all if this is really a problem
I am a survivor of police brutality. I was saved from the 2 officers by a onlooker, a Dr 😇who stepped in by telling officers I would die in their car if they took me. That Dr gave me immediate medical care on scene held my hand, told me it was going to be ok, a wiped the blood from eyes, applied pressure and elevated wounded limbs until the ambulance arrived to take me to hospital. The police didn't assist. I was crippled for 5 months. I feel blessed that Dr was there and my daughter didn't loose her mother that day 😇 I'm grateful 🙏⚖️. Police Reform is needed 🙏🙏⚖️⚖️

Azure Dragonroll I’m saying that right now, we need to prioritize our care and attention on the people who need it most. Cops have been taken care of and praised WAY more than the black community who are being KILLED and HARMED by cops for simply being black. I don’t understand how you can be aware of all this happening in the world rn and STILL want to argue against it.
Azure Dragonroll blue lives don’t matter since they don’t exist ❤️
Tiffany Wart Okay, I see your point. But you have to understand that right now All Lives Matter is ONLY being used to combat the Black Lives Matter movement. Ofc All Lives Matter, but right now all lives aren’t being threatened the way black lives are. We have to prioritize and stand with the black community because they are hurting right now. We shouldn’t be arguing about the technicalities of a phrase that is doing more bad than good.
@@tristondula9776 The "only time cops ever come into the limelight is when they do something bad and people just ignore all the good they do" is simply not true. We are holding the cops who do something bad accountable when sharing the bullshit they do, and NO ONE is taking away the spotlight on cops who do something good. Again, cops have been praised for SUCH a long time that the reverse used to happen. We used to excuse all the bad things they did because we thought the good outweighs the bad. We will no longer remain silent about cops murdering black people and police brutality. And also, nobody REALLY believes ALL cops are bad and racist, I'm willing to bet that that's you jumping to conclusions and not educating yourself enough on the issue.
