My truck broke down a few days ago and a police officer stopped to see if I was okay. I have been having problems with stalling and I told him, it needs to cool down then I can drive it home (He arrived after it had cooled down and I had gone for a walk) he correctly guessed the year of the truck, said his brother in law had the same truck, and actually called his brother in law who had the same problem, and told me what his brother in law did to fix his truck!

People in the comment section always miss the point of the argument and instead bring up political debates that are irrelevant to the subject matter of the video.

This guy is right on. Unfortunately this is not the mentality of the majority of departments. There is a time to be a warrior, but it is not every encountet.
The most important thing that most cops forget: Suspects have the exact same rights as the rest of us. Even if they wind up getting some stick time to force compliance.
While there should definitely be a general shift in police mentality, there should also be specialized units that deal exclusively with problems like homelessness and mental health, so they can completely separate from the warrior mindset, while other officers are less overworked.
Tim here, officers are required to maintain the revenue for the city, county, and state. If they fall below their required level they are called to the chief's office to find out why. Change has to come from the top.
Hey melvin, so if you're really a chief, why don't you tell us how you've implemented these flowery thoughts into your department; or are you one who doesn't put his $ where his mouth is?
Honestly, you are right about the ideals that need to be embraced, but wrong in claiming that these are not part of the "Warrior Mindset". I have fancied myself a student of warriorship for many years and the very ideals you are describing have always been a part of warriorship. You are misrepresenting what a Warrior is, and then taking the warrior traits and relabeling them as "Guardians" when they are the same thing. Warriors aren't necessarily "at war with someone". Just because the words share a common linguistic root does not mean that you must have one with the other. (Do "State Police" mean that it's a "Police state"?) Warriors are prepared to fight for a cause if needed though, and they are prepared to fight because they believe in that cause. Outside of "the battle" however, warriors are supposed to be noble and honourable members of society. Throughout history, "warriors" have followed a code of good conduct and morality. The bushido code of the samurai and the medieval codes of chivalry, while often retrospectively romanticized, are just two examples of major "warrior codes" that included significant components that were about civil conduct and service that was separate and unrelated to any of the violent services that they could be called upon to perform at times. The problem is not with the "Warrior Mentality", but with the incomplete observance of true warriorship that has been embraced by some in either their conduct as "warriors" or in their views and understanding of the "warriors" in their society. We don't need more semantics. As much as language has power, the changing of labels may allow you to rebrand an age-old (and already practiced) concept to sell books and lecture/seminar seats but it will do little to address the issues.
S Kinghorn you do know that the meaning of a word can often change over time, right? What ‘warrior’ means today is not the same as it meant centuries ago. Today’s “Warrior Mentality” is not the kind you’re talking about - hence why something like Guardian, Protector, or Steward would be more apt for the values you’re espousing. Although if you want to reclaim the term ‘warrior’, go right ahead - it would be great if we, as a society, still had the warrior code, but we don’t. The way Crisp is using the terminology is correct as it relates to police training - this guy did not ‘rebrand’ it, it had already been rebranded.
Kinghorn, I am so glad to see this comment. The warrior mindset is just as you describe it. I have tried to live by the warrior mentality for all my career and it is not always being ready to fight. It is a mentality of serving those in need also.
Dean has an important message to change how we train our police....I had never thought of what Dean presents in his TEDxTryon talk...ARE YOU WATCHING AND LISTENING law enforcement?
3:00 Has crime really increased that much? I think our awareness of the crimes has just increased. But I thought violent crime has actually been going down.
Plenty have that Fallujah attitude. They are warriors who have had tours in the middle East, then come home to take up law enforcement rolls. That warrior mentality can not be removed easily if at all. The training they receive and the mentality that comes with it for combat situations or enemy combatants is not civilian friendly in the U.S. Yet you see it exercised everyday. Just say😊
Tyranny Response Team i hope you’re not saying that civilian casualties is collateral damage that we just have to live with. I would say people considered “not civilian friendly” should be in a different field of work. Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for those who’ve had tours in the Middle East as you say. But I do not want that person in law enforcement if they’re unable to do so properly. It applies to every field of work. You wouldn’t let a person described as being “not children friendly” get a job as a school teacher would ya?
All urban, suburban and rural cities are the same and dealing with people who can't figure out how to follow the laws, thus they have interactions with the police.
@@safenabors3006 The typical "did nothing wrong" Last time I checked, aiming a gun at a Cop or not following the Police's orders is in fact, doing something wrong.
How hard it seems to remember the rule of common sense and sense of partnership with citizens in policing nowadays. It’s that way because of how cops are now taught in the academy. I agree with everything Dean presents what should be the mindset. Not the reality. Go listen to a few of David Grossman’s training classes. These classes are for new recruits. Now I fully understand why cops are feared and disliked now. He teaches Warrior mentality. Citizens are the enemy. Killing, brutalizing citizens turn them on. At the end of his classes, what does he say? Stay hard! What does that tell you about police training in this country now?
Warriors are not people who at 'war' with someone or something. Warriors, were politicians, philosophers, law enforcement and protectors. As Law enforcement we adopted this title, if you will, because Warriors were a part of the community and were the community. We handled situations in our community, to improve the lives of those within our community and when someone threatened harm to our community, we stopped at nothing to protect our community. This 'warrior' mindset needing to change and solely for 'tactical' situations, means we have only taught that mindset for those situations. In reality, we must continue to teach the 'warrior' mindset and expand upon the true meaning of it.
Personal accountability - google the Washington post article on misconduct by police. Quick summary, they requested the data of misconduct lawsuits and payments from 25 police forces. Note there are 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the US. Looking at 10 years of data from just these, the total payout was $3.5bn. Shockingly, when looking at those responsible, there were 1200 officers who were responsible for 5 or more each, and of those, some 200 officers were responsible for 10 or more EACH. How much accountability can there be when these officers are just continuing to work and not being fired. This was from just 25 forces, 1200 officers with misconduct issues, repeatedly, STILL on the job. Now extrapolate that to 18,000 agencies and how many officers does that make? 100,000? 500,000? going out every single day, with a very good likelihood that they are going to abuse their position, abuse people's rights, or even worse, kill someone. What is needed isn't a change of mindset, it is complete reform. Weed out ALL of the bad apples, remove blanket immunity, and introduce proper sanctions for officers that fail to meet the right standards, and also address the training deficiencies and have proper training suitable for someone in that job. It takes far more hours to qualify as a beautician than it does a police officer, that simple can't be appropriate, yet it is true.
Your a pastor and a coach. That seems like conflict of interest if your a police officer too? Also the police academy covers a lot of the job but some things you have to learn on the streets. I'm not a police officer but I've talked to many police officers.
He seems to have been through a lot. I respect that. As a cop myself and being involved in a shooting, I can say I think this man has been behind a desk far too long. He is speaking as a politician. This talk has a ton to do with mindset. The mindset of a man that has forgotten what it is to be a cop. But that is why he is a Chief. Chiefs always forget.
I agree with the community policing input but I disagree with the "social workers with guns" aspect. My city's police; Orlando FL are risk adverse. to mitigate risk is smart, to avoid calls or ignore citizens is wrong. opd treats poor & low income citizens like dirt.
This is nothing new to the Police. The truth of the matter is, it's the community that needs to be re-educated. Re-educated about the basic civic responsibilities as a populace. Dean's speech highlights my point when he states, "Enforcing the law is not the main job of police." Yes it is. That is why the career is called Law Enforcement. Protecting constitutional rights is how that enforcement is accomplished.
A successful cop balances respect, common sense, the spirit of the law and factors in the human equation when possible. The community policing he talked about that was popular in the 90s changed what cops do and in turn, it changed what the community expects, good, bad or indifferent. There's a time and place to wear your guardian hat and a time and place to wear your warrior hat. Experience will dictate how you figure out which one to wear.
My niece worked as an emergency operator for 2 different police forces. One of the few jobs in the world where EVERY day different officers would say out loud, "I hope I get home alive".
No, the officer should not change the tire and they should not be required to. That is the job of the tow truck driver. What if the officer did it wrong? What if they hurt themselves. And, of course, what if they don't know how to change a tire. That isn't required. Call the tow truck and do it right. No, the officer should not be required to change the tire.
How about being a Spiritual Warrior: a soldier for abiding by a comprehensive moral and Heart Centered treatise. It's simple; yet requires self discipline and auditing. Most important. crucial actually, is a commitment to cultivating one's capacity to change. It is the overhaul this entire Jerry Springer, bully culture needs to turn itself around. Otherwise this society will become so heavy with complacency, cynicism and mendacity that it will collapse into implosion. BTW - An officer pulling over, when you have a flat, then dissing you and driving off, after calling a tow truck, would be a welcome relief in communities of color where contact with police usually transforms into a violent confrontation.
He didn't ask if anyone had a citation. He asked if anyone had any interaction with a police officer. I have interactions all the time and they are all great! This guy is out of line to be spreading these misconceptions.
All of this sounds great. So when are the police going to start doing all these wonderful things? This speech is from 2016. It's 2020 and it's just gotten worse.
So did the brave soldiers who defeated them in WWII....whats your point? Can the warrior mindset be used for bad? Absolutely, but can it be used for good? You bet.

More dangerous to be a roofer, fisherman, loggers, aircraft pilots and many more are far more dangerous than l.e.o.. Sorry to break it to you "warriors".
There’s a time to be Officer friendly and there’s a time to be a blood thirsty warrior. This job is dynamic. You can’t be one certain way all the time. That’s what I feel like it boils down to. In my career so far, I’ve run into cops that are assholes or blockheads or really just there to do their job and go home. Of those assholes, blockheads and guys who are just working to go home, I have never run into another Cop who I truly believe would do anything morally wrong.
Strikes me as a good man who has not been completely consumed by the politics of his position, but he has forgotten some very key aspects of where he came from in 17 years of sitting behind a desk. In particular the comments about how we spend so much time training officers for what supposedly amounts to “5-10% “ of our job. Go to the officer down memorial page at look at that 5-10% of our job. The lack of training in that “5-10%” is a huge part of the job that gets many officers killed every year and most agency’s training provided to officers to protect themselves as well as those who they are sworn to protect is substandard at best. It is interesting that these skill we supposedly spend so much time training on, for situations that according to the chief here rarely happen, is the exact type of situation that nearly took the life of his father and his father’s partner. And the best example of the warrior mindset he could come up with is a handicap parking violation? Thats pathetic. Clearly he dies not understand the warrior mindset and it’s relation to protecting the public. As a 13 year vet, shift commander, and instructor I can say with some confidence that the lack of training is directly responsible for many of the high profile police incidents we see around the nation. We train our officers to pass a qualification on a flat range shooting at paper targets and nothing more. Most agencies dont even have hand to hand combat training, stress inoculation, or problem solving training that would, in some if not many cases, avoid a lethal encounter. Officers are given minimal training at basement bargain prices and we wonder how situations escalate and end badly. And the comment about “officers being ambushed as retribution for acts.” Shame on you chief. There is a reason he didn’t finish that statement. Because it does not stand up to scrutiny.
Look at that: yet another police.administrator who has been disconnected from real policing for almost.two.decades and is now trying to develop a new career to supplement his retirement. So, according to him, WE, have to change our "mindset" so that no one has to bother fixing all of the broken social services that have failed us for so long. Nice job Chief. Way to sell us out
A "Warrior" is NOT Someone who is "At war with something". A Warrior is someone who is trained and skilled in the Arts of warfare and how to fight, (with weapons or hand to hand),and uses those skills for that specific purpose. The BIGGEST problem, is using the term "Warrior" to describe anyone that is in an aggressive mindset. Warriors are not Bullies and thugs who want to pick a fight. Warriors only fight when there IS a war. During peacetime a warrior is training and honing his skills.
first quit with the being a cop is dangerous its not even top ten most dangerous jobs second we are not your partners you are our employees third there will be no accountability until police unions and qualified immunity are abolished
I don’t really get the touchy-feelies out of this. It’s not the training that makes cops hardened. It’s the mileage. You can change the mindset and the training but you can’t change the scenery. Good luck brassholes, see if this sell out your cops mindset works out.
poorly worded. A warrior is not just a person who is "at war". A warrior, as it relates to LE work, is simply someone who is WILLING to go to battle and overcome should the need arise. Someone who is taking on the job that is, many times, warrior centric. Does that mean they are overbearing and overjealous with violence? Absolutely NOT! Please do not demonize the term as it will be the detriment of many officers. If you cannot be a warrior you have no business being in LE. And let's be clear, there is just as much training in dealing with people, talking with people and de-escalation as there is in firearms training. is there perhaps more in tactical training, YES! Because there needs to be as your life is in jeopardy. In any case, this is a very dangerous idea to try and impose on those putting their lives on the line everyday. Just my humble opinion.
The Problem is society has created way too many laws to enforce for social issues. Society now believes people should call the police and Officer Friendly for everything including there kid not wanting to go to school, landlord issues and countless other problems like flat tires Chief. Let police do there fundamental job which is Law Enforcement! Period.
My kind was mid-Law per say...looked at Ethical stuff with that...Probably was utterly terrofied at one time..that was something where you couldn't really voice an opinion at man?
This is a misrepresentation of the warrior mindset. Yes, a warrior is a man/woman of war; however, war is more than just physical combat on immediate threats. Being a warrior also means using proper use of force in certain situations. For example, shooting someone for stealing some candy is not an appropriate response. That's overkill, no pun intended. Instead, speak to the person. The main duty of a warrior is to return peace to an area and then safeguard it through appropriate means. Speak and guide when you can; do not utilize brutal methods until you have exhausted every other resource.
“A soldier does not fight because he hates what is in front of him but because he loves what is behind him.” - G. K. Chesterton “To those who have fought for us freedom has a taste the protected will never know, to those who have lost it freedom has a taste that the protected will never appreciate.” - Edwin L. Craft I know that's what depresses me, these cops are trained in military style warfare. It's not supposed to be used in an urban environment, but we gave them the training, heavily armored vehicles, automatic rifles, and in some units more deadly armaments, and we set them loose in downtown USA to engage us in WAR? This Idea of Ready, Fire, Aim, then we will justify it later, it’s beginning to make me sick to my stomach. That’s all I’m getting infuriated at! I get approached like this I will mace this individual and take him down. I may get arrested in the end i may even get charged with a crime, I might even break some bones on the man I do not care my PTSD is being triggered just by watching this man's actions. I’m practiced in deadly force and I WILL USE IT WITHOUT RESTRAINT!!! So, get control of him or he will DIE!!!
Is this guy getting paid or doing it for free? He should be doing it for free. This is from 2016 and not relevant. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and I can run through the jurisdiction of 10 agencies in a single day and never once have a single problem because I don't break the law. None of this is true today and is just to get this guy out of the office. Don't break the law, people, and you won't have a problem with the police.
This is the reason I don’t watch Ted Talks smh... This is way off base. This is a chief who has been off the road so long that he believes what the news says. Most Leo’s go above and beyond everyday, he needs to do more working side by side with his officers. This chief has missed the mark by a mile.
yes but officer need the training to serve the community, it should be their first priority. U treat your community w respect n when you need them they be there for you. I have offer asst to officers while on the road, n their response was to mind my own bussiness, or rudedly tell me to move on, they need to listen to the community.
Listen jack, in get you made 100k plus as a chief. I also get that you have NO idea what street cops do in a day. I'd love to debate you one day. You talk about training, you talk service, but you fail to talk about pay, staffing, call volume, how departments can't even select a report writing program, let alone a community policing program.

Thank you sir for you courage and wisdom.
Thanks for your mindset Dean, and for sharing it with our world!
It is INFINITELY more important to have cops with military experience then it is for cops to a college education.
Exceptionally truthful. Some depts are already doing this right.
Thank you. I plan to share your video with my people.
i like the idea of being a respecter of persons,this works well both ways...
Warrier mindset also seems to be in all movies coming out of Hollywood.
Excellent video...thank you chief for your service !
Honestly, you are right about the ideals that need to be embraced, but wrong in claiming that these are not part of the "Warrior Mindset". I have fancied myself a student of warriorship for many years and the very ideals you are describing have always been a part of warriorship. You are misrepresenting what a Warrior is, and then taking the warrior traits and relabeling them as "Guardians" when they are the same thing.
Warriors aren't necessarily "at war with someone". Just because the words share a common linguistic root does not mean that you must have one with the other. (Do "State Police" mean that it's a "Police state"?) Warriors are prepared to fight for a cause if needed though, and they are prepared to fight because they believe in that cause. Outside of "the battle" however, warriors are supposed to be noble and honourable members of society.
Throughout history, "warriors" have followed a code of good conduct and morality. The bushido code of the samurai and the medieval codes of chivalry, while often retrospectively romanticized, are just two examples of major "warrior codes" that included significant components that were about civil conduct and service that was separate and unrelated to any of the violent services that they could be called upon to perform at times.
The problem is not with the "Warrior Mentality", but with the incomplete observance of true warriorship that has been embraced by some in either their conduct as "warriors" or in their views and understanding of the "warriors" in their society. We don't need more semantics. As much as language has power, the changing of labels may allow you to rebrand an age-old (and already practiced) concept to sell books and lecture/seminar seats but it will do little to address the issues.
Sergio Díaz Nila Bullet proof warrior to me means proof that a (certain) bullet will surely penetrate.
S Kinghorn you do know that the meaning of a word can often change over time, right? What ‘warrior’ means today is not the same as it meant centuries ago. Today’s “Warrior Mentality” is not the kind you’re talking about - hence why something like Guardian, Protector, or Steward would be more apt for the values you’re espousing. Although if you want to reclaim the term ‘warrior’, go right ahead - it would be great if we, as a society, still had the warrior code, but we don’t. The way Crisp is using the terminology is correct as it relates to police training - this guy did not ‘rebrand’ it, it had already been rebranded.
Kinghorn, I am so glad to see this comment. The warrior mindset is just as you describe it. I have tried to live by the warrior mentality for all my career and it is not always being ready to fight. It is a mentality of serving those in need also.
Dean has an important message to change how we train our police....I had never thought of what Dean presents in his TEDxTryon talk...ARE YOU WATCHING AND LISTENING law enforcement?
Watching and listening, and completely disagreeing. This man has lost all connection with law enforcement.
@@stevenpolkinghorn4747 you are part of the problem.
@@matthartman19 ha, it's funny that you think I care about your opinion. I'm the constant solution, the problem changes every day.
3:00 Has crime really increased that much? I think our awareness of the crimes has just increased. But I thought violent crime has actually been going down.
Plenty have that Fallujah attitude. They are warriors who have had tours in the middle East, then come home to take up law enforcement rolls. That warrior mentality can not be removed easily if at all. The training they receive and the mentality that comes with it for combat situations or enemy combatants is not civilian friendly in the U.S. Yet you see it exercised everyday. Just say😊
Tyranny Response Team i hope you’re not saying that civilian casualties is collateral damage that we just have to live with. I would say people considered “not civilian friendly” should be in a different field of work. Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for those who’ve had tours in the Middle East as you say. But I do not want that person in law enforcement if they’re unable to do so properly.
It applies to every field of work. You wouldn’t let a person described as being “not children friendly” get a job as a school teacher would ya?
All urban, suburban and rural cities are the same and dealing with people who can't figure out how to follow the laws, thus they have interactions with the police.
I wonder how big this mans department must be. WOW.
Super speech
This is powerful and meaningful Dean -- congratulations on a job well done!
Job ain't done.
He should be teaching the officers in the academy.
Law enforcement does not need fixing... society does.
Maybe you would benefit from getting shot by some cowardly trigger happy punk cop for doing absolutely nothing wrong.
@@safenabors3006 The typical "did nothing wrong" Last time I checked, aiming a gun at a Cop or not following the Police's orders is in fact, doing something wrong.
Wrong
@@nathanmcconnell9991 wrong. Cops earn the hate.
The example of the car breaking down. Just the other day I saw a video of a broken down car and the arriving officer wanted to ID him and run checks!
How hard it seems to remember the rule of common sense and sense of partnership with citizens in policing nowadays. It’s that way because of how cops are now taught in the academy. I agree with everything Dean presents what should be the mindset. Not the reality. Go listen to a few of David Grossman’s training classes. These classes are for new recruits. Now I fully understand why cops are feared and disliked now. He teaches Warrior mentality. Citizens are the enemy. Killing, brutalizing citizens turn them on. At the end of his classes, what does he say? Stay hard! What does that tell you about police training in this country now?
LEOs who have died from gunfire in US this year, 2020 = 45 and is down 4%
Warriors are not people who at 'war' with someone or something. Warriors, were politicians, philosophers, law enforcement and protectors. As Law enforcement we adopted this title, if you will, because Warriors were a part of the community and were the community. We handled situations in our community, to improve the lives of those within our community and when someone threatened harm to our community, we stopped at nothing to protect our community. This 'warrior' mindset needing to change and solely for 'tactical' situations, means we have only taught that mindset for those situations. In reality, we must continue to teach the 'warrior' mindset and expand upon the true meaning of it.
Yeah cops are doing a great job with their warrior mindset and training. You freaks killed two innocent people in their own homes in Texas.
Personal accountability - google the Washington post article on misconduct by police. Quick summary, they requested the data of misconduct lawsuits and payments from 25 police forces. Note there are 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the US. Looking at 10 years of data from just these, the total payout was $3.5bn. Shockingly, when looking at those responsible, there were 1200 officers who were responsible for 5 or more each, and of those, some 200 officers were responsible for 10 or more EACH. How much accountability can there be when these officers are just continuing to work and not being fired. This was from just 25 forces, 1200 officers with misconduct issues, repeatedly, STILL on the job. Now extrapolate that to 18,000 agencies and how many officers does that make? 100,000? 500,000? going out every single day, with a very good likelihood that they are going to abuse their position, abuse people's rights, or even worse, kill someone.
What is needed isn't a change of mindset, it is complete reform. Weed out ALL of the bad apples, remove blanket immunity, and introduce proper sanctions for officers that fail to meet the right standards, and also address the training deficiencies and have proper training suitable for someone in that job. It takes far more hours to qualify as a beautician than it does a police officer, that simple can't be appropriate, yet it is true.
Quite a human being this man is 🙂
If cops need to be warriors, let them join the Army.
He sounds like a chief. I want to hear from a cop. What he says is all fine and good. Society needs to kick in their part.
Wait, so what job was this guy doing before teaching leadership? I don't know if he brought it up.
2:13 he worked as police officer and chief
This guy likes to hear himself talk.
What was the point of that opening story? Just to grab attention like something interesting might be said?
Sounds like hes talking about being a Warrior Poet :)
Timothy Kimmel unfortunately I don’t see most police participating in tea ceremonies and writing poetry on scrolls.
When police cultivate a us vs. them mindset, it’s inevitable for citizens to do the same.
90-95% of our training deals with 5% of our job...
It becomes the mindset
Your a pastor and a coach. That seems like conflict of interest if your a police officer too? Also the police academy covers a lot of the job but some things you have to learn on the streets. I'm not a police officer but I've talked to many police officers.
@@sigsauer_firearms, I'm not entirely sure as to what point you are attempting to make. I simply was quoting a startling line from this Ted.
@@gwnfan Oh okay. My bad. Also your videos are pretty good.
He seems to have been through a lot. I respect that. As a cop myself and being involved in a shooting, I can say I think this man has been behind a desk far too long. He is speaking as a politician. This talk has a ton to do with mindset. The mindset of a man that has forgotten what it is to be a cop. But that is why he is a Chief. Chiefs always forget.
That was very good!
Excellent speech, thank you
Interesting this was 4years ago.
I agree with the community policing input but I disagree with the "social workers with guns" aspect. My city's police; Orlando FL are risk adverse. to mitigate risk is smart, to avoid calls or ignore citizens is wrong. opd treats poor & low income citizens like dirt.
This is nothing new to the Police. The truth of the matter is, it's the community that needs to be re-educated. Re-educated about the basic civic responsibilities as a populace. Dean's speech highlights my point when he states, "Enforcing the law is not the main job of police." Yes it is. That is why the career is called Law Enforcement. Protecting constitutional rights is how that enforcement is accomplished.
Just like firefighters only fight fire.
A successful cop balances respect, common sense, the spirit of the law and factors in the human equation when possible. The community policing he talked about that was popular in the 90s changed what cops do and in turn, it changed what the community expects, good, bad or indifferent. There's a time and place to wear your guardian hat and a time and place to wear your warrior hat. Experience will dictate how you figure out which one to wear.
I imagine construction of the re-education camps is well underway.
thethirdsealpatriot - yes we should re-educate 99% of society because the 1% that are in LE don't like their attitude. You're funny.
Cops do NOT protect constitutional rights, they violate those rights on a regular basis.
Like my uncle always says...
"No bigger street gang than police."
My niece worked as an emergency operator for 2 different police forces. One of the few jobs in the world where EVERY day different officers would say out loud, "I hope I get home alive".
Seems like the police are the last to realize they exist to serve us and protect our constitution right.
Great speech!
No, the officer should not change the tire and they should not be required to. That is the job of the tow truck driver. What if the officer did it wrong? What if they hurt themselves. And, of course, what if they don't know how to change a tire. That isn't required. Call the tow truck and do it right. No, the officer should not be required to change the tire.
How about being a Spiritual Warrior: a soldier for abiding by a comprehensive moral and Heart Centered treatise. It's simple; yet requires self discipline and auditing. Most important. crucial actually, is a commitment to cultivating one's capacity to change. It is the overhaul this entire Jerry Springer, bully culture needs to turn itself around. Otherwise this society will become so heavy with complacency, cynicism and mendacity that it will collapse into implosion. BTW - An officer pulling over, when you have a flat, then dissing you and driving off, after calling a tow truck, would be a welcome relief in communities of color where contact with police usually transforms into a violent confrontation.
He didn't ask if anyone had a citation. He asked if anyone had any interaction with a police officer. I have interactions all the time and they are all great! This guy is out of line to be spreading these misconceptions.
All of this sounds great. So when are the police going to start doing all these wonderful things? This speech is from 2016. It's 2020 and it's just gotten worse.
Did Nazy Germany have The very same mindset?
Absolutely.
So did the brave soldiers who defeated them in WWII....whats your point? Can the warrior mindset be used for bad? Absolutely, but can it be used for good? You bet.
Jon Este that’s during war not policing the local community
Of course they did. The warrior mindset is used in war. Policing is not war.
I wish they would serve the community like they use to.
If you enjoyed this check out a talk show on MyTcnTv UA-cam channel called hope in the 6ix. A discussion about issues within the criminal justice system with Lawyers, Counsellors, Ex Offenders, Police, Victims and their family members impacted by crime etc... About what they are doing to make a difference in their communities. A must watch. I myself was a ex cop who now am making a difference by helping offender make a change in their lives
That opening story was so confusing.
And warrior mindset is nowhere near 5-10% of a cop's job. 1% tops. Yet it's about 90% of their training.
Want to know what it's really like being a Cop? Read FRACTURED by T.Samuel Knight. True story. On Kindle
More dangerous to be a roofer, fisherman, loggers, aircraft pilots and many more are far more dangerous than l.e.o.. Sorry to break it to you "warriors".
Your grammar is the most dangerous of them all.

Not one police officer in the audience listening....No suprises there...
There’s a time to be Officer friendly and there’s a time to be a blood thirsty warrior. This job is dynamic. You can’t be one certain way all the time. That’s what I feel like it boils down to. In my career so far, I’ve run into cops that are assholes or blockheads or really just there to do their job and go home. Of those assholes, blockheads and guys who are just working to go home, I have never run into another Cop who I truly believe would do anything morally wrong.
Strikes me as a good man who has not been completely consumed by the politics of his position, but he has forgotten some very key aspects of where he came from in 17 years of sitting behind a desk.
In particular the comments about how we spend so much time training officers for what supposedly amounts to “5-10% “ of our job. Go to the officer down memorial page at look at that 5-10% of our job. The lack of training in that “5-10%” is a huge part of the job that gets many officers killed every year and most agency’s training provided to officers to protect themselves as well as those who they are sworn to protect is substandard at best.
It is interesting that these skill we supposedly spend so much time training on, for situations that according to the chief here rarely happen, is the exact type of situation that nearly took the life of his father and his father’s partner.
And the best example of the warrior mindset he could come up with is a handicap parking violation? Thats pathetic. Clearly he dies not understand the warrior mindset and it’s relation to protecting the public.
As a 13 year vet, shift commander, and instructor I can say with some confidence that the lack of training is directly responsible for many of the high profile police incidents we see around the nation. We train our officers to pass a qualification on a flat range shooting at paper targets and nothing more. Most agencies dont even have hand to hand combat training, stress inoculation, or problem solving training that would, in some if not many cases, avoid a lethal encounter.
Officers are given minimal training at basement bargain prices and we wonder how situations escalate and end badly. And the comment about “officers being ambushed as retribution for acts.” Shame on you chief. There is a reason he didn’t finish that statement. Because it does not stand up to scrutiny.
He is spot on, you freak pigs that think everyone is out to kill you are a giant part of the problem.
You are part of the problem and will continue to be unless and until your mindset changes.
Look at that: yet another police.administrator who has been disconnected from real policing for almost.two.decades and is now trying to develop a new career to supplement his retirement.
So, according to him, WE, have to change our "mindset" so that no one has to bother fixing all of the broken social services that have failed us for so long. Nice job Chief. Way to sell us out
A "Warrior" is NOT Someone who is "At war with something". A Warrior is someone who is trained and skilled in the Arts of warfare and how to fight, (with weapons or hand to hand),and uses those skills for that specific purpose. The BIGGEST problem, is using the term "Warrior" to describe anyone that is in an aggressive mindset. Warriors are not Bullies and thugs who want to pick a fight. Warriors only fight when there IS a war. During peacetime a warrior is training and honing his skills.
A warrior is actually a POS that killed innocent people in desert countries for the US corporation.
@@zapazoid Blah blah blah. There are plenty of people in your own country killing your own countrymen.
The Elite want law as a weapon They work for them
Warriors do.
The community members are not law enforcements partners, they are the employers!
first quit with the being a cop is dangerous its not even top ten most dangerous jobs second we are not your partners you are our employees third there will be no accountability until police unions and qualified immunity are abolished
I gotta say your full of it. Too many years of being behind a desk you forgot what the streets are actually like.
If he gets all worked up over a handicap placard violation, then this “chief” lacks the warrior mindset.
Wrong
Can't believe I've come across a customer service for police talk
I don’t really get the touchy-feelies out of this. It’s not the training that makes cops hardened. It’s the mileage. You can change the mindset and the training but you can’t change the scenery. Good luck brassholes, see if this sell out your cops mindset works out.
Nothing is gonna work with both parents working outside the home. Note what a toddler does when presented with a pile of ants for the first time.
poorly worded. A warrior is not just a person who is "at war". A warrior, as it relates to LE work, is simply someone who is WILLING to go to battle and overcome should the need arise. Someone who is taking on the job that is, many times, warrior centric. Does that mean they are overbearing and overjealous with violence? Absolutely NOT! Please do not demonize the term as it will be the detriment of many officers. If you cannot be a warrior you have no business being in LE. And let's be clear, there is just as much training in dealing with people, talking with people and de-escalation as there is in firearms training. is there perhaps more in tactical training, YES! Because there needs to be as your life is in jeopardy. In any case, this is a very dangerous idea to try and impose on those putting their lives on the line everyday. Just my humble opinion.
The Problem is society has created way too many laws to enforce for social issues. Society now believes people should call the police and Officer Friendly for everything including there kid not wanting to go to school, landlord issues and countless other problems like flat tires Chief. Let police do there fundamental job which is Law Enforcement! Period.
You are the problem.
My kind was mid-Law per say...looked at Ethical stuff with that...Probably was utterly terrofied at one time..that was something where you couldn't really voice an opinion at man?
This is a misrepresentation of the warrior mindset. Yes, a warrior is a man/woman of war; however, war is more than just physical combat on immediate threats. Being a warrior also means using proper use of force in certain situations. For example, shooting someone for stealing some candy is not an appropriate response. That's overkill, no pun intended. Instead, speak to the person. The main duty of a warrior is to return peace to an area and then safeguard it through appropriate means. Speak and guide when you can; do not utilize brutal methods until you have exhausted every other resource.
They have no idea about anyone’s rights. Wtf!
What type of agency did this guy run? Try working in an urban city anywhere in the US and then you will see reality.
I don’t think I’d want to work with this guys idea of “fit” officers...
Why not?
“A soldier does not fight because he hates what is in front of him but because he loves what is behind him.” - G. K. Chesterton
“To those who have fought for us freedom has a taste the protected will never know, to those who have lost it freedom has a taste that the protected will never appreciate.” - Edwin L. Craft
I know that's what depresses me, these cops are trained in military style warfare. It's not supposed to be used in an urban environment, but we gave them the training, heavily armored vehicles, automatic rifles, and in some units more deadly armaments, and we set them loose in downtown USA to engage us in WAR? This Idea of Ready, Fire, Aim, then we will justify it later, it’s beginning to make me sick to my stomach. That’s all I’m getting infuriated at!
I get approached like this I will mace this individual and take him down. I may get arrested in the end i may even get charged with a crime, I might even break some bones on the man I do not care my PTSD is being triggered just by watching this man's actions. I’m practiced in deadly force and I WILL USE IT WITHOUT RESTRAINT!!! So, get control of him or he will DIE!!!
Is this guy getting paid or doing it for free? He should be doing it for free. This is from 2016 and not relevant. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and I can run through the jurisdiction of 10 agencies in a single day and never once have a single problem because I don't break the law. None of this is true today and is just to get this guy out of the office. Don't break the law, people, and you won't have a problem with the police.
This is the reason I don’t watch Ted Talks smh... This is way off base. This is a chief who has been off the road so long that he believes what the news says. Most Leo’s go above and beyond everyday, he needs to do more working side by side with his officers. This chief has missed the mark by a mile.
yes but officer need the training to serve the community, it should be their first priority. U treat your community w respect n when you need them they be there for you. I have offer asst to officers while on the road, n their response was to mind my own bussiness, or rudedly tell me to move on, they need to listen to the community.
Wrong
@@MrJramos2002 they don't need training to assist the community. They either get it,or they don't
who is this dude...
Listen jack, in get you made 100k plus as a chief. I also get that you have NO idea what street cops do in a day. I'd love to debate you one day. You talk about training, you talk service, but you fail to talk about pay, staffing, call volume, how departments can't even select a report writing program, let alone a community policing program. Go ahead and compare the 1960 cop to 2018. I'll crush you on the stage.
Idealistic, liberal and mindless drivel.
He's correct. Law enforcement needs to win hearts and minds.
@@mogwaiman6048 I agree but the community needs to step forward as well.
