Every year, American police officers kill around 1000 people. 20 times more per head of population than in France and 60 times more than the UK. Today more than ever, the American police force is feared by those it is supposed to protect. The police position has hardened, as they employ more and more drastic techniques - riot gear, assault rifles, armored vehicles. This over-militarization is no accident. For years, US police stations have been accumulating military equipment from the « 1033 program», created by the Pentagon to transfer excess military equipment to civil law enforcement agencies.
@@ENDEVRDocs considering the millions of interactions between people and police every year, that’s an insignificant number. Don’t punish the greater good for the sins of the few.

The weapons and tools arent what makes police so deadly and feared. It is a lack of legal education & knowledge that makes police so deadly. Additionally, modern day police are predatory in nature and with many agencies having a holier than thou culture that views the general public with such disdain. Couple all of this with qualified immunity and overfunding, and you have trained and paid killers operating with no fear of consequences.
Exactly. At least half of the police cars in my area are either unmarked or ghost marked. They want to hide among the general public unnoticed so it's easier to write people tickets.
@@chaddowns901While I think the ghost marked cars look cool, I always thought to myself, why is it that European police cars are usually bright in color and patrol with steady burning red and blue lights, But American police cars are as low profile as possible even if they’re regular patrol cars that should be noticeable in case someone required assistance? There’s a department near me in a neighboring town that only houses a fleet of ghost marked patrol vehicles, all slick tops too. That’s their standard patrol car for that town.
that officer literally said, in his statement, "no, i never saw a gun or any object in his hand. i could not see his hand. i shot him without positively identifying a weapon." and yet was acquitted by his lawyers saying "he saw a gun"
I remember the officer who WALKED my east coast neighborhood. He knew everyone and everyone knew him. Maybe stop hiring scaredy-cats and hire officers who live in/know the neighborhood.
More dangerous to drive Uber, deliver pizza, or work at a convenience store. Not to mention logging, steelworker, commercial fisherman, arborist, miner, or heavy equipment operator.
@@johnqpublic305it is an indisputable fact! OSHA has been tracking data for almost 50 years. Law enforcement is NEVER ranked among the most dangerous occupations.
I think that’s you projecting, you have never been in a dangerous situation because of police in your life, your only safer with them around wether your delusions let your believe it or not
2:20 So.. Mr Officer.. If I hear you right... What you just said here about narcotics... Your reasoning..... because of money, because of guns, because of violence... Would that not apply to police officer as well? Ain't you notorious for violence? wearing guns? and seeking money? Therefore.. everything about policing makes you do bad things! Think about it! Same apply for gov, corp, etc...
That's exactly right. Unfortunately the general masses that support a tyrannical gov and police state don't see it or understand what's really going. It's big business. It's policing for profit. The war against drugs is just war against people . And we fund it all.
6:08 you can never sell this to me why police need the same vehicles that I drove in Iraq. Those things are made to withstand deep buried IEDs not civilians with guns.
@ sadly that is the scary part. I was there in 2008-2009. The MRAP was brand new. Thank goodness it doesn’t still have the up armor kit that protects it from projectiles. Still can never make me understand why they need it
Ever seen the video of the guy in Tacoma Washington that shot up his neighborhood and almost blew the window out of the cops' lenco bearcat with a 50 cal? While they were trying to negotiate with him? I hear people complain about the MRAPS like the cops are out doing traffic enforcement with them when in reality they bring them out to deal with violent armed suspects
I’m not a cop, but I wouldn’t want to approach a barricaded subject who has a high caliber weapon while I’m in a unarmed police equipped version of a civilian car. MRAPs are necessary for law enforcement. Sure, you served in the military but have no experience in law enforcement. MRAPs protect from small arms gunfire and even explosions that might occur during police operations. Every country in the world, including the French GIGN and other European police forces have armored vehicles. Like a guy said before, everyone acts as if they’re patrolling or conducting traffic enforcement in MRAPs. With how high crime the US is, including its mass shootings, I’m surprise that people come up with the belief that MRAPs, rifles and body armor aren’t necessary in America policing.
Is the MIC subsidizing the police ? Are the American police facing criminal paramilitaries, like the American troops who served in Iraq and Afghanistan? In the fututre fighting criminal paramilitaries might be a reality in America ,to justify this type of militarised policing.

To be fair, body armor was not a practical thing during the Vietnam era. Body armor has advanced to a point where it is practical to use. Considering how well armed the citizens of the United States are, it is reasonable for police to use body armor on duty. At the very least, they need to wear soft armor and have plate armor available. Let me be clear, I do not support the militarization of police, but things like armor are necessary.
Because the body armor of Vietnam was made out of steel plates and they rust And in the tropics all that weight can be dangerous and rehydration is impossible in the humid environment
why not? swat teams doing house raids and hostage situations etc. absolutely deserve the right to wear body armor. the armor also works against stabbing implements and is just a good idea in general. i dont think they really need rifle rated armor unless part of a swat team or responding to a rifle armed threat such as a mass shooter. armor isnt the problem lmao training is the main issue
The idea that it's reasonable to shoot someone without a actual threat is beyond belief in the training. Castille's murderer was irrational in his assessment of being in danger.
Dude this is Kansas City,Missouri. They have recreational legal weed and the least restrictive gun laws in the whole country you can conceal carry a handgun in public with a 50rd magazine with no license or permit at all and buy a legal joint at the same time.
Lets just call it like it is (American police is the worst in the world) the only thing that "saves" them is the fact of the toys and the money they getting.
That is a symptom of a bigger issue though. Lack of opportunity, a livable wage, and rising cost of living. People have resorted to crime to earn a far more lucrative living and that results in more guns getting into the hands of criminals and more cops needing to have better guns.
@@umat6991 If the stats are correct, there are 1.93 firearms for every adult in the US. The consequence has been the continued military-style build up of the police force - these are facts that in turn make American society violent and deadly. Where does it end? How does it end? Looking at other countries: fewer guns fewer deaths. It’s kinda logical.
@ If you take away the guns of the law-abiding, only the outlaws will have guns, and they will use them without regard. I choose dangerous freedom over peaceful servitude and subjugation.
I do agree that we need to reduce poverty and increase education first for crime to be reduced in the country. But, I see no wrong with police having vehicles such as an MRAP or body armor. If they have to deal with a possibility of an armed shooter, why the heck wouldn't they use such tools to have a higher success rate of taking down a target and preventing an officer from getting injured???
*It would also be nice if we could atleast slightly reduce the military industrial complex we have in our country and could send that money in other areas
A militarized law enforcement is a standing army by definition. Law makers are the ones responsible for putting law enforcement at danger when they declared war on drugs and terror. All this taxpayer subsidized courage and bravery. I bet if they had to fit their own bill, they're all just a bunch of cowards.
@@nitrox1613 no... we need to spend every extra penny building our military and our response training... if we cant defend and protect the country then there will be no other areas to spread said money to
its more of a perception issue and a problem with their us v them attitude. we are creating very powerful apparatuses of state sponsored control to be used against citizens in any form of dissent. i agree that the reallocation of the vehicles and having bullet proof personnel transports is not in itself a bad thing and does afford genuine benefits to keep people safe. they dont need to use these toys for simple police work and petty arrests however.
*When I was growing up they call them peace officers and now they are called Law Enforcement, names do matter. Even getting a helicopter or an APC for 500 bucks makes it easier for cops to be more equipped than necessary*
@johnqpublic305 the point was they should not be getting a helicopter for $500, obviously you have a learning deficit where you can't understand the comment
Why should american citizens fear for their life anytime they interact with these armed goons? If they didnt behave like an occupying army, they wouldent need to dress like one.
@@ekatprankster109 I don't recall seeing any cry... I just see cops using tools that make their job safer and in most cases following department policy. Anyone who calls them militaized and thinks that's bad has never had any type of job where their safety is at risk. As we modernize things will look different, all of this militarization talk is just new modern tools that can be utilized. It matters whar you do with them, it's the same as blaming guns in shootings forgetting that there's a damaged person behind that weapon.
I would have appreciated this more if it had shown both sides. I'm not american but recently I've watched a lot of police videos. I'm absolutely shocked at how the police are treated. I've watched police officers being sworn at, called the most horrendous names, spit on, bitten, kicked, stabbed, hit by cars and shot at. Constant threats of lawsuits and blatantly false claims of sexual assault (bodycams running). According to american news people are leaving the police in their droves. I certainly couldn't do their job.
You let everyone has drugs & weapons, the police just got to be more brutal and with more powerful equipment, & weapons manufacturers makes loads of money.
There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.
Possibly. You should spend more time praying for Gaza than watching documentaries about America. ‘Israhell’ is about to get everything they want from the US. You can thank all the Arab-Americans who voted against Palestine a month ago for that.
Why does 'Frenchie' have to speak french when he is perfectly capable of speaking english? Hasn't he read the memo that says, Karens demand you to speak english when you're in 'their' country. 😂
SWAT doesn't come knocking at your door because the neighbor complained your radio was too loud. SWAT comes when you already have 5 stars wanted level lol
Too many separate police authorities make it easy to cover up for bad officers. All departments should be under the control of the States and not local town, county politics. The system as it is rewards, cronyism, and not professionalism.
At the end of the video that’s total retaliation for being filmed. The police can’t take it upon themselves to say your trespassing anytime you step foot on something other than public property. You would think they would need the owner of the property to say they don’t want you on the property before the police can take it upon themselves to say your trespassing.
Why are the police so deadly? I would have to say that ever since SWAT was created the police have been more and more heavily trained in military tactics that were meant to be for the most extreme situations and it got turned into being utilized for just about every encounter.
@@michelerenem ... You must not have learned about urban warfare and how the military does sweeps and hits on buildings. You must not have seen the video documentaries I have that are showing how the military is trained in urban warfare where the training site is set up like a small town. The outsides look like real structures but on the inside they have the layouts set up like living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms and even bathrooms. The police go through a 2 week course on this style followed by nothing and in some places it is an optional add on training they can do and the "employer" pays for half if not all of that training. After that course they have to take a once a month "refresher" for a day for the next 6 months. Once that is done they are turned lose in their department and declared trained in SWAT tactics. They get put on a probationary period and once that is done they are turned lose on the people.
THe most important thing about POLICE ENFORCEMENT is respecting above all the human beings at first sight and trainning hard to react according to the situation and reaction of each individual after starting the inspection of a suspect.
Cops are not in danger from a LAW ABIDING citizen carrying a firearm! What about that is “more dangerous” for a LEO? We have ZERO intention of using it on a cop! IhC hello! “Law ABIDING”, moral people carry in America. Especially for a TRAFFIC TICKET! The mentally that the mere PRESENCE of a firearm makes it more dangerous is as dumb. Most armed citizens are MORE trained than the current cops that only go to the range once a year to qualify and most BARELY do! A lot of us are Veterans and have enjoyed keeping up our marksmanship skills. Wr carry for safety of ourselves, our families and even to stop and save a COP! I don’t agree with the militarization of cops but in America they DO need to carry a sidearm at all times!
I call bulsh*t on the shooting of the guy that told to cop he had a weapon on him then gets shot trying to get his ID/lisc. The cop even said he never saw the victim with the gun. The cop could have had the victim exit the vehicle then recover the firearm & securing it and then finish the traffic stop.
I truly cant see them needing ai rifles when there shooting zone is 90% less then a 100yards. Can do that nd more with there ar15 service rifles. They truly dont need tanks and stuff like that for the citizens the are suppose to protect
this documentary focuses on equipment and actually proves their point, you need to focus the mentality and culture of the police institution youre acticng like has no history
i barely made it to "just to arrest an elderly man" and realized how ridiculously biased this "documentary" is.... the officer explained perfectly clear why they needed to go into that warrant execution heavily armed. you never know what you are busting into.
31:28 This constitutional right complicates the police officers job considerably? Sure seems to complicates my ability to live when the cops aren't nearby or are the ones shooting me because I legally carry because they choose to react first
No doubt, we need the police and many of them are doing great work. But as a society, this is very disturbing. The rest of the industrialized world is nothing like the U.S. While the UK considers arming their police for the first time, ours is rolling along with military grade hardware. If you look at the numbers, if you watch these shootouts, we don't look like a civilized country. In fact, the rate of gun deaths is America is twice as high than in Pakistan, a country of over 235 million (compared to our 333 million) in which people can, and do, openly carry AK47s. The fact that we need weapons like this should be more alarming than what I'm hearing.
Did you see what the shady sherriff did?..He spun the wheel of fugitive and sort of slowed it down by touching it to stop at ANDREW PHILIP LANE. That is rigging the system😢

You should spend more time praying for Gaza than watching documentaries about America. ‘Israhell’ is about to get everything they want from the US. You can thank all the Arab-Americans who voted against Palestine a month ago for that.
so are Palestinians lol maybe if they pray one more time a day allah will save them 🤣
It's that is-raeli training that made them more of a pu55y enforcement.
Palestinian cops are muscular?
Why does 'Frenchie' have to speak french when he is perfectly capable of speaking english? Hasn't he read the memo that says, Karens demand you to speak english when you're in 'their' country. 😂
A Cops biggest fear in almost 2025 is STILL a 🤳 Wonder why that is exactly ? 🤔
“Wheel of Fugitive!” You gotta be shitting me.
Yeah, that was cringe. But to be fair. He probably got told by his buddies, that he sort of looks like Drew Carey, and he ran with it.
It blows my mind that people call out the government for reusing old equipment to try and save taxpayer money, its more about a show of force.
"Free" does not deal with the expense of operating and maintaining these beasts.
somewhere out there the terrorists in their caves are applauding all the police brutality. they didn't have to fly over.
SWAT doesn't come knocking at your door because the neighbor complained your radio was too loud. SWAT comes when you already have 5 stars wanted level lol
Sorry bro, comparing the US to France is like comparing apples to oranges, it just doesn’t work. 😂
Too many separate police authorities make it easy to cover up for bad officers.
All departments should be under the control of the States and not local town, county politics.
The system as it is rewards, cronyism, and not professionalism.
At 8:57 free? That lady's taxes paid for it
Fascinating documentary great work
At the end of the video that’s total retaliation for being filmed.
The police can’t take it upon themselves to say your trespassing anytime you step foot on something other than public property.
You would think they would need the owner of the property to say they don’t want you on the property before the police can take it upon themselves to say your trespassing.
America, leading the way!

Why are the police so deadly? I would have to say that ever since SWAT was created the police have been more and more heavily trained in military tactics that were meant to be for the most extreme situations and it got turned into being utilized for just about every encounter.
They aren't trained for military tactics. Only armed for it.. The training is lacking, that's the problem.
@@michelerenem ... You must not have learned about urban warfare and how the military does sweeps and hits on buildings. You must not have seen the video documentaries I have that are showing how the military is trained in urban warfare where the training site is set up like a small town. The outsides look like real structures but on the inside they have the layouts set up like living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms and even bathrooms.
The police go through a 2 week course on this style followed by nothing and in some places it is an optional add on training they can do and the "employer" pays for half if not all of that training. After that course they have to take a once a month "refresher" for a day for the next 6 months. Once that is done they are turned lose in their department and declared trained in SWAT tactics. They get put on a probationary period and once that is done they are turned lose on the people.

THe most important thing about POLICE ENFORCEMENT is respecting above all the human beings at first sight and trainning hard to react according to the situation and reaction of each individual after starting the inspection of a suspect.
Nothing to see here folks, we'll investigate ourselves tyvm. Move along now like subservient 🐑
Endless Academy Delinquents
Thin Blue Lies
One word says it all. Scared!
"I feared for my life!!" The magic words for these punks to get away with M**DER.
Make way for martial law, eh?
Militarizing civil law enforcement, hum,, what could possibly go wrong?
OMG!! COPS ARE NOW DOCTORS,LAWMAKERS,PSYCHOLOGISTS,ALL THAT GOOD SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA.😂
How about put effort into creating situations that resolve criminal activity from forming. God forbid buying books and recruiting quality teachers
Cops are not in danger from a LAW ABIDING citizen carrying a firearm! What about that is “more dangerous” for a LEO? We have ZERO intention of using it on a cop! IhC hello! “Law ABIDING”, moral people carry in America. Especially for a TRAFFIC TICKET! The mentally that the mere PRESENCE of a firearm makes it more dangerous is as dumb. Most armed citizens are MORE trained than the current cops that only go to the range once a year to qualify and most BARELY do! A lot of us are Veterans and have enjoyed keeping up our marksmanship skills. Wr carry for safety of ourselves, our families and even to stop and save a COP! I don’t agree with the militarization of cops but in America they DO need to carry a sidearm at all times!
An "Armada" of trucks and a"flotilla" of aircraft? What strange word choices considering both these terms specifically refer to ships or boats 🙂
I call bulsh*t on the shooting of the guy that told to cop he had a weapon on him then gets shot trying to get his ID/lisc. The cop even said he never saw the victim with the gun. The cop could have had the victim exit the vehicle then recover the firearm & securing it and then finish the traffic stop.
it makes me angry that the gear of our military here is nothing comparing to what police have out there ! I can't believe that !
What do you do for a living? Where are you going? Where are you coming from? This is investigation. DONT TALK TO POLICE!
I truly cant see them needing ai rifles when there shooting zone is 90% less then a 100yards. Can do that nd more with there ar15 service rifles. They truly dont need tanks and stuff like that for the citizens the are suppose to protect
Every year, hundreds of American cops go to Israel, sponsored by the ADL, to learn how to treat innocent civilians like defenseless Palestinians.

The Blue Mafia
They should've got an undercover into one of the Street cop training sessions
Was there a certified complainant against the 66 year old man or do the cops just
need to take out their competition for the drug trade?
investigate qualified immunity youll see why the cops behave this way
this documentary focuses on equipment and actually proves their point, you need to focus the mentality and culture of the police institution youre acticng like has no history
Funny they’re trying to paint a Sheriff who wants to get criminals off the street as bad.
i barely made it to "just to arrest an elderly man" and realized how ridiculously biased this "documentary" is.... the officer explained perfectly clear why they needed to go into that warrant execution heavily armed. you never know what you are busting into.
Sausage Fest Good 'ole Boys 🙄
31:28 This constitutional right complicates the police officers job considerably?
Sure seems to complicates my ability to live when the cops aren't nearby or are the ones shooting me because I legally carry because they choose to react first
The police in latin America 😂 jajajajajaja they wished they had USA police force lmao 🤣 jajajajajaja jajajajajaja
"To everything there is a purpose under heaven" eh?
Purpose for the path to Heaven more possibly.
practice firing twice a year????? explains a lot! lmao!!!
No doubt, we need the police and many of them are doing great work. But as a society, this is very disturbing. The rest of the industrialized world is nothing like the U.S. While the UK considers arming their police for the first time, ours is rolling along with military grade hardware. If you look at the numbers, if you watch these shootouts, we don't look like a civilized country. In fact, the rate of gun deaths is America is twice as high than in Pakistan, a country of over 235 million (compared to our 333 million) in which people can, and do, openly carry AK47s. The fact that we need weapons like this should be more alarming than what I'm hearing.
Did you see what the shady sherriff did?..He spun the wheel of fugitive and sort of slowed it down by touching it to stop at ANDREW PHILIP LANE. That is rigging the system😢
This is America, where English is the main language. So dont waste so much time interviewing and having a guy speaking a different language. wth!/
Its footage from a documentary made for french tv
