Hi Dom,
Yes, I watched the first three parts (about 30 minutes' worth). I couldn't stand any more of it because it was so skewed, one-sided, lacking in substance, and thoroughly shallow in its presentation of "the facts" of whatever it was trying to show. It was intended to be sensationalistic and that is what it was.
When I first started watching the video I was thinking to myself "I wonder which gang they are going to say is the largest?" I was wondering if they would say it was MS 13 (which is in my area). Then I realized that they were trying to make out the police in general to be the largest street gang in our country, which is laughable when you consider that there are probably 10,000 separate and distinct police, sheriff and other law enforcement agencies in this country. The notion that all these agencies are acting in a concerted and similar way to deprive average citizens of their civil rights is just pure nonsense. The very fact that they are so disjointed, uncoordinated and have so many differences from agency to agency is touted as one of the reasons why the terror attacks of 9-11 occured.
The various federal, state and local laws and the police department policies that follow are different from department to department. This means that an officer in one jurisdiction is trained and ordered to do certain things that another officer in another jurisdiction is prevented from doing. For several of the supposedly heinous acts committed by police officers on the video, I can think of a multitude of questions that really should be asked, answered, and clarified before anyone should make such a presentation. This was a fluff piece and of course nothing in the way of scrutiny or thoroughness was applied during the part of the video that I saw.
The case of Abner Louima was an atrocity against his civil rights and accordingly at least one of the officers in jail for a very long time. That is an undisputable case of police brutality, but it has already gone through the courts and has been as documented and investigated as anything we could ask to see to support the claims of police brutality. I would like to see more of the other examples presented and know more of the resulting investigations, prosecutions, or whatever might be available to document that there was police brutality.
But even if that were the case, there are something like 800,000 law enforcement officers in the US at all levels. Even with the best of training, hiring processes and oversight, with that many people doing that much work in a nation of 300 million +, there are simply going to be a lot (numerically) sh itheads even though percentage wise the incidence of rogue cops is very low. It really is like the example with doctors...I think there are about 800,000 medical doctors in this country. There are high standards in medicine for selection, training and monitoring doctors, and even with all of that there are a lot of docs that do stupid, illegal, negligent and dangerous things with their patients.
So, in my experience and observation....I don't like this video and think it is about as biased and unbalanced as it can be. Yes, I think there are a lot of police officers that surly, lazy, incompetent, dishonest, brutal and so forth, but there are a hell of a lot more that are doing at the very least their jobs as they have been told to do.
It happens in the UK too but not in such extremes, that's why I don't believe UK officers should be allowed to carry arms. Italian police are allowed to carry arms and they too can be barbaric. It is such a shame that police
