Progressives Rehabilitating Kamala's HORRIBLE Record (w/ Alec Karakatsanis)

- Civil rights attorney, former public defender, and founder of Civil Rights Corps joins Bad Faith to discuss his new article which exposes the massive disinformation campaign around police body cameras which has led liberals to embrace surveillance technology as a progressive reform. He explains the evidence which exposes the true purpose of body cameras, and addresses whether the recent on-camera murder of Sonya Massey complicates the argument. He then takes on a new trend rehabilitating Kamala Harris's criminal justice record now that she's the presumptive nominee. Were claims about her record overblown in 2020? Or is she, in fact, a cop?

Great show ! Alec is on point. After a thirty year career in law enforcement at the state and federal level, everyday was a battle to retain my humanity for myself and various communities I worked in against my law enforcement colleagues and the overall criminal justice system. The reforms posed by government officials are surface- with no intention of actually changing anything! It is exhausting!
It is a relief to read about police leaving the force for moral reasons and realizing that staying means defending corporations and scandals and not humanity...of which they are a part of. Thank you for not participating anymore.
Ok y’all. Holy smokes. I’m only 5 minutes in and I’m already pissed. Of course cameras weren’t for us!!! How could I be so naive. 🤦♀️
I agree, but I couldn't help but wonder why the people with the special interests in Congress fought so hard to keep the toothless bill from getting passed. They really seemed to downplay qualified immunity being a factor. Why not implement these policies if the police state is in agreement? They'd make more money and we'd be locked up more often. A win win for them.
Briahna, I don't always agree with your take on issues but listening to you and your guests almost always broadens my view on the topics you discuss. Thank you.
It's refreshing how truth liberates!
I was a police officer, and this is why the officer who shot had his camera off. If the other officer didn't have his camera on. He would've gotten away with it by lying about what happened.
As they ALWAYS, ALWAYS do. It's beyond disgusting.
What is your suggestion to put an end to police lying?
Even though the partner knew what happened he still wouldn’t tell
@@sonyahathaway9753 That's how the "Blue Wall" works. If you don't cover for the officer doing it wrong, you get blackballed. That is one of the reasons I left the police department.
The real question is why was he going from department to department and if he had a problem past why wasn't it documented and flagged?
There needs to be a national database for problem cops. Background checks for civilians are easily accessible there is no legitimate reason it shouldn't be the same for cops
This all makes so much sense. I keep learning more and more about the insidious ways the Democratic Party has duped us.
Jeez, I thought we'd already reached the bottom of the barrel. For my part, I don't think it's _possible_ for me to think any less of them than I do now. Seriously: even if I learned that top Democrats bathe in the blood of children to retain their youth, my opinion couldn't get any lower.
The republicans are acceptable opposition and are not a threat cause they are batshit. If literal socialists took over and were allowed free reign to run on ballots dems would be in trouble but the GOP is too insane they are no threat to the dems and the dems know it it’s theater
The two party system has duped us. It gives us the illusion of choice without real choice.
Republicans are just as involved so saying the “Democratic Party” did it is reductive. 😒
@@Justin_Beaver564exactly
Bad Faith once again shining a light on key issues of our times with excellent guests.
Like the cop yelling "PUT THE POT DOWN" after he'd already shot her. 🤦🏽♀️Who's holding a hot pot after being shot in the face?
She also was already dumping it down the sink
@@katferguson Like Alec said, it was for the cameras.
Cameras shouldn’t have an off button and should record the entire shift
Thank you for not jumping on the Kamala bandwagon unlike most of the other pseudo-progressive YT channels.
Damn. One of your greatest guests and conversations of all time. It's rare to find someone able to comment with this degree of articulation and alacrity from the highest level of a problem set down to the individual incident, and to draw out such strong and sweeping conclusions and trends.
Keep it up Bri! We appreciate you!
He told her he would shoot her in the face and that's what he did. Seems premeditated.
Outstanding interview with two outstandingly insightful people. God bless you both. This inspires the downtrodden to claim their power.
keep in mind that cops are trained by the israeli military. very very key.
A detail we need to keep posting.
Soo we are utterly screwed then welp time to leave
Yes they are behind everything I swear
… that’s just on the more recent history…, the police policies and behavior that led to the Watts riots in the’60s are the same policies and behaviors that led to the LA riots after RodneyKing!! and that was before police departments were being invited to Israel to view how they police the Palestinians!!! US police departments evolved from Slave patrols and like the guest mentioned, it’s all primarily directed at Black people which started waaay before there was a state called Israel so…
This was one of the best, most informative shows I’ve seen lately. I had my own unchecked assumptions about body cameras, so I very much appreciate the critical analysis which helped me more thoroughly examine the issues. Thanks!
RIP Sonya Massey
Joy, you gotta bring Alec back
That cop got fired from six depts within four years. He also was cited three times for alcohol.
He's also a colon cancer survivor who thought that because he has a stoma, he would not have to be jailed since it would allegedly cause too many problems for jail medical staff
Another excellent interview - really unique show watching from UK
same here watching from the uk
@19:45 So that's why we hear police tell their victim to stop resisting even after they deleted them. It's for the cameras.
yes!
A politician’s talk when they are running for election is no guarantee they’ll walk their talk once elected. Therefore one can only judge a candidate by their past record of use or abuse of elective power. IMO Kamala’s appalling record as Attorney General of California is relevant. The problem is, Trump can’t run against her right wing record because it’s his as well. Only third party Jill Stein could expose Kamala. But DNC won’t allow Stein into a public debate.
So why didn’t Kamala run on the right-wing ballot?
This is why we need Bri on a bigger platform. Smart ideas and discoveries
She was, and then she let her emotions get the best of her and got herself fired
I'm starting to like this guy more and more the way he talks about honesty and integrity. Yeah
Everything Alec Karakatsanis says makes so much sense. And it is so articulately laid out. Very good interview, thank-you Briahna!
What a great guest. The first 10mins had me rewinding cause he was droppin truth bombs
This dude is a dumbass who thinks cops shouldn't be recorded at all times
I think Bri is trying to say without the bodycam it would be worse; ie; that cop would never get caught. The overhaul of the whole system seems a pipe dream most days.
"A few bad apples" they always say. They forget the rest of that quote.
"A few bad apples will ruin the whole lot"... at this point there are no longer options for correcting something that has entirely gone bad.
He was hard to listen to after he pushed back on that
Yep!
@@1D4ever… I understand his point but…. It would be worse!!!
mandatory waring bodycams without on off switch might help!!!
This is an incredible interview- I had read Alec’s tweet thread about body cameras, and even though I know of the abolitionist case against them, the full scope of the propaganda and manipulation is shocking. Thank you for the conversation!!
Hear, hear!
As my neighbors say, along with most of white Americans, “they have such a stressful job , she should have cooperated.” It’s so disgusting
This area in central Illinois, is very racist. There were sundown towns here until Civil Rights and a lot of unemployment because the demographic has generally been factory jobs that went overseas. I volunteer at a local food pantry and I constantly hear white people who are getting food at the pantry complaining about Black people and mocking AAVE. I'm Native (Lakota) and I often have white people harass me because they think I'm Mexican. Poor, uneducated white people in central Illinois are not much different than the white people who lynched 2 innocent Black men during the Springfield IL race riot in 1908.
… the police would NOT have shot a whyte woman under those circumstances!!!
It's nice to hear some people are willing to step out of the establishment groupthink and say that Kamala is trash. Being the Democratic candidate has never been a reason to silence discussion in the name of false unity.
While I agree, this discussion is often a prelude to maintaining the fantasy that electoral politics is pointless just because it's treacherous. And Bri has a long history of dying on hills that shatter like glass the moment they come in contact with political reality.
Indolent nihilists who want what they want-NOW!
@@matthewcaldwell8100 What's the political reality? We don't actually live in a democracy?
@@Hemingway-dq4fx Here, specifically, it’s the reality that voting third party doesn’t chasten the party from which it drains votes. It reliably opens the door to the worse alternative.
Maybe one day the electoral margins will be thick enough or the Left organized enough to produce a Democratic candidate who has been consistently responsive to progressive concerns. The project merits the effort. But right now neither is the case and we will have dirty hands no matter what. For most of our lives and the foreseeable future, Presidential elections are mitigatory, not proactive.
Bri’s arguments don’t do much more than point out that this is a terrible system. We know that already. When it comes to strategy, she seems to think that doomed moral stands aren’t harmful just because they’re right. Whether she’s really this stupid, grifting, rich enough to be insulated, or some fourth option, I won’t speculate. I will only say that such things have massive costs with stakes this high. It’s not cowardly to take the consequences seriously.
@matthewcaldwell8100 "stakes this high"... the lie of every election in the last 20 years+
You forgot to mention his giggle when he answered, "Did you shoot her. Ha, yes.
First time hearing that one
Don’t be shocked by this disgusting country
I was falsely arrested for a DUI and the only reason I got the charge dropped was because of the dash/body cams that proved my innocence. I'm the exception that proves the rule.
Glad you received justice👏🏼
Insightful as always. Thanks Bri
Not the podcast I expected today, but the podcast I needed. Thank you both! ❤
This is essential listening. I have been a bit disheartened because my TikTok feed has been inundated with positive Harris content. I’m like what’s with this collective amnesia?!
This went in a different direction than I anticipated from its title. Ah, now we're getting to it
It doesn't matter how frequently police are given psychological tests if the tests are so ineffective that they let an officer like this through the process of becoming a police officer.
It seems there are some police officers who totally lose it when a black woman (or man) doesn't obey their every command in the exact way that they expect.
How can a written test weed this out? There needs to be live-in-person training (without live bullets) where police candidates like this can be rejected based on what happens to them physiologically and how they react when they are in these situations.
Having a gun doesn't give anyone magical powers to control the actions of people especially people who might be mentally ill.
The "psychological tests " are made to find exactly this type of person and not weed them out , Add on the "warrior training " fascist kooks that cops are always taking classes with and why are people surprised when we constantly end up police forces packed with fragile violent authoritarian goons and those two cops having a running gu*n battle with a damned acorn while screeching like 12 year old girls . Its a feature not a bug .
on the notion of surveillance as well, many cops will act differently in training than in the field, because they know they are being surveilled by trainers. so even live in person, nonhypothetical training would still not really change things here. there's no training that will get people to be nonviolent if they want to be violent, even zen meditation.
I always get a renewed sense of appreciation for the quality of this channel after wandering back from other podcasts. The quality of interviews and perspectives is top notch.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for turning on the daylight and turning off the gasl🎉.
Thank you so much for this interview. Great guest. I have a whole new perspective on body cameras.
There is a documentary called "All Light Everywhere" that does an incredible job detailing the evolution of cameras and their relationship to the state's powers.
Cool I’ll check out the documentary
Is there training to be an empathetic human being? I'd say for the Neanderthal population, probably not.
There is in many cultures as part of raising their kids. Who can model for adults? I have read articles about training in meditation that have turned lives around for people who had difficulty with empathy
Wow, what an interview! I loved it. Very informative.
Thank you Bri and Alec for this enlightening conversation!!!
This guy is soooooo right.
If gun & police violence is one of your concerns I really can't recommend Malcolm gladwell's six-part series on gun violence in America (don't get me wrong, Gladwell can be nauseating on a number of subjects as a liberal's liberal BUT despite his many glaring and brutal blind spots. I do actually genuinely believe he cares about people and this subject specifically. One of the episodes was dedicated to the fact that the declining murder rate is not so much a result of declining murders but rather a consequence of doctor's who've treated an explosion of gunshot victims over the last 20 years getting significantly better at saving people's lives. Also, having better equipment and even better locations to deal with gunshot violence. As the fact that level 1 trauma centers (Gladwell also explains what these are and their complete total relevance and tragedy of the American Healthcare system but I digress. LOL )are being finally built in underserved areas despite the. not making them enough money but were forced to due to the mass rates of murder in the inner city and how that resulted in that decline of murder victims but NOT SHOOTINGS. How the economics and geography of these city murders and how these hospitals and The systems in place to treat them is super relative to this specific conversation and more importantly the outcomes that can be used to argue a point one way or another, as this amazing guest has pointed out.
I would love to see them work together on something to be honest, gladwell irritates the s*** out of me sometimes BUT honestly, he really does bring in some really important and relevant points if you can get past some of his boomer liberal crap. (YET!!!!! I've recently discovered audiobooks as I sit in traffic constantly and I can't recommend his book, David and Goliath enough. It's a wonderful examination of how we are not as powerless as we think, an examination of our education system, most importantly how we ORGANIZE and honestly, it really made me think of BJG!!! I'm an extremely pessimistic person and neither she nor he is. So I try to do the best I can to listen to something that is realistically helpful for our ability to be able to get out of bed in the morning LOL!)
Anywhooo
I don't hate the player, I really fucking HATE the game and the people who profit from it OR EVEN WORSE, DON'T GIVE A S*** BECAUSE IT DOESN'T AFFECT THEIR LIVES OR THE PEOPLE THEY LOVE.
Such a great episode and so timely considering Kamala is going to be the Margaret Thatcher of political police oriented violence against black, Brown, unions, environmentalist and or anyone who the establishment feels is making them just an even tiny little bit less rich. The powers that be will 110% say, "we elected a black woman president so all of this violence is completely justified."
Voting third party has never been more important than now as they've chosen their identity politics Avatar who I am afraid will Usher in the most violent repression of the Left we have seen in a generation. If we can siphon off enough votes to ensure that Trump is elected, everybody will have to cancel brunch and actually address our slide towards actual fascism.
THE SYSTEM WORKS, let's stop f****** supporting it. Vote third party.
Massey said “Okay I’m sorry” (I figure for giving them lip service) and coward on the floor. The cop step forward and hovered over Massey, firing downwards - into Massey’s head. Seconds before that, the pot was in the sink and you can hear the faucet running. - Her lip service was her frustration that these mediocre men truly introduced the idea into the conversation that she really want to pour scolding water on them. “Damn demons I let into my home.”
I don't think she gave them "lip service" if you mean she was giving them attitude, or being rude, or insulting. I think she simply said "I don't like that you'd suggest that"' and the word "rebuke" made him really angry because he didn't know what it meant. She, like many, was probably ready to apologize for anything, when a gun is pulled on you by someone angry at what you said.
@@johnybalohny I meant that’s how the cop felt. That she should be docile and be afraid to speak about how they made her feel uncomfortable in her own house. - She was being insubordinate is he the cop felt.
@@StarChild.no1 Ah ok, I understand now, and I agree. Comments elsewhere were giving me the impression that some people believe she was provoking the cops, like she was joking about hurting them.
@@johnybalohny No she was frustrated that she called them for help, came into her house and started interrogating her and asking for ID. What made her give cause to speak up is the audacity of suggesting the pot that was already on the stove, could possibly be a weapon to harm them. So they turned her into a possible violent perp in her own house. So she rebuked the whole bad vibes they brought into her life for no damn reason. But she was scared and nervous so she tried to de-escalate the situation with a giggle or she giggled because she was scared and nervous..
The ad before this video is Kamala asking for donations!
I’ve seen three different versions of her asking for donations since yesterday. I watched Alex Jones talking to someone last week and the Sandy Hook Promise ad came up for every break in the interview.
I blocked the one with her asking for money, only to get another one with her husband asking for money. 🙄🤣
ads? firefox + ublock 😉
(donate or join creators you like!)
Yep. In her overbearing rude cop manner! Example one of how she treats, speaks down to viewers. The camera never blinks...especially as her body language emits lying shitstorms as she is shaking her head.
Us need to give reparations to American descendants of slaves before anybody.
Absolutely ✊🏿BLM!!
Definitely! Its the truth since we supposedly support truth.
Native Americans simultaneously, I think
@@bildemerath Native Americans have their own claim and American descendants of slaves lineage claim shouldn’t be linked with it. Native Americans have had several types of redress as well, and once again their claim is their own and ADOS is theirs. ADOS people are way overdue for federal redress, any argument against it is disingenuous as best.
@@RC-jp6vd I think you're right. They are linked by injustice, but linking the two as reparations would likely dilute and confuse the claims. Thank you
Bri... You have had many great interviews and, IMHO, this is in the top 10 for sure.
Thanks!!!!!
I remember thinking the exact same thing, that cops would adopt a directorial point of view in response to demands for accountability. This guy's work is crucial to understanding the closing fist of friendly fascism.
The United Slaves of Aipac!
You're gonna get AIPAC on steroids if Trump gets back in office.
Of Israel!
And it’s pure treason
@@MYTAccount don't forget Trump loves Aipac
@@jimmyjam5453 same if Kamala is back in office. You clearly need to vote against both
Thank you for a meaningful program.
His honesty is addicting! what an energy in this conversation. Wow, thank you to you both for facilitating and doing this investigative work and giving a platform to honest educated curious people without political agendas other than honesty and love and justice. I can feel it through this whole conversation. just WOW! so human
Goddess bless the truth tellers.
Benjamin Netanyahu’s father who’s from Poland CHANGED his name from Benzion Mileikowsky to Benzion Netanyahu when he came to Palestine. They did this to sound more like Middle Eastern. These imposters always change their names wherever they go. In Eastern Europe, they were known as the Name-Stealers.
Now, they’re trying to steal Palestinian lands, culture, food, and even their organs and skin. Look it up. Israel has the biggest skin bank which shows that they’re NOT native to the land due to them having high skin cancer. Now they’re going after indigenous Palestinian vital organs.
BJG you do so much to expose the truth, these conversations and interviews are invaluable 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Ty, Ty, THANK YOU!
Again an amazing exchange on a radical and important topic! This is important information that needs to be exposed to all! We are definitely led by the swamp and no one in the duopoly parties, however they claim to be "draining" it, should never be trusted!
Your guest is from the faction Candor. Appreciate his bravery to be a truth teller for our times✊🏼
Duopoly: The cop and the con.
This is really metaphysics. The question whether she really was objectively going to hit him with the boiling water is different from the question whether the officer was within a reasonable level of error in his wrong hypothesis about the character of the situation.
Now I know why they keep saying, "Don't resist."
A very good conversation about body cams, ‘community policing’ and police propaganda. However, I still don’t have any grasp of Harris’s stance on Israel/Palestine. It’s a vague notion in the media depending on what an organization wants you to believe - whatever the real truth is. I do believe we will be learning what that truth is - there’s too many of us out here who can’t vote for someone not on the right side of history. It’s a serious matter of conscience for too many.
Kamala Harris and her husband are members of the Hillcrest Country Club in Los Angeles. That's all you need to know. Look it up.
She supports genocide, as do all servants of US empire
look at her funding$...hilary shadow gov?!
In the Michael Brown instance, the meme “Hands up, don’t shoot” never happened and a body camera could have possibly stopped the destruction of Ferguson and the decade of anarchy that has occurred in this marginalized community because of the lawlessness the protests brought on.
This email quote below written by JD Vance is not only a good example what we were led to believe was the purpose of body cameras, but also where JD Vance stands in comparison to Kamala who is pushing her prosecutor past :
"I love the body camera movement, and anything that puts cops back in the mindset of service and protection instead of control and coercion," Vance wrote to Nelson in 2014, the Times reported. "I hate the police. Given the number of negative experiences I've had in the past few years, I can't imagine what a black guy goes through."
except, he has conveniently forgotten all this bc $ talks for him now.
Excellent and informative on so many issues. I have been very confused about the unthinking support of Harris i see from people who were not at all supportive of her record in the past. "Vote blue no matter who seems like a viral disease today.
Great long form content. Thank you Bri and thank you for your guest.
This is one of the best interviews you have done and I loved it!
27:52 Exactly. The body cameras are seen as police reform and accountability, but the police killings have increased. The body camera didn't prevent the cop murderer from shooting an unarmed woman. He didn't care if it was on video because he's counting on the shooting as being justified.
Excellent interview and your questions are all immensely important. Alec is great and Icm going to follow his work and Civil Rights Core of course .. Hope they can get all the help they need! Sharing this exciting conversation with all my friends
Excellent use of my time . Thanks
Briahna, I had to go to patreon and subscribe after this one. Amazing work. Keep it up!
Could Massey's assassination be also a police gang initiation. Cop continued to engage and escalate, you could tell he had intent from the beginning.
GREAT TALK! now consider the UN and all they've done!
This is where I come to hear thoughtful and intelligent conversation about challenging problems. Alec is brilliant and wholesome given the tough work that he does. Bri is insightful and humane as always. Thank you both.
WOW!!!
George Orwell got the timing wrong by 40 years!!!!!
Thank you!!!!
Cameras aren’t a bad thing at all… outside of that we’re just relying on the cop who’s likely going to lie when they fukup, intentionally or otherwise.
Much appreciation for such an informative conversation!
He murdered her. There's another angle shows where she had her hands up and squatting to avoid getting shot. He stepped forward and around to shoot her while she's squatting.
Who was filming the other angle?
It always comes down to abusive tactics used by colonial organizations designed to oppress and extract power for imbalanced capitalist consumption. Thank you for sharing these points!
Excellent interview! May I suggest getting into YT Shorts for your content. We need some of these exception recordings going viral.
Another great episode. This podcast has become a regular listen for me because it wrestles with these complex issues and brings in experienced people fighting for these left-wing causes who can point out how the propaganda is spun and who’s interests are being served below the surface.
Awesome guest!! Great interview, as always!
*1 of 2. This is how you should always vote:*
We must fully criticize and _always vote_ *against* (& less authoritarian than) both the Republican *and* Democratic Parties- including Kamala Harris, AOC, all of the squad, Bernie Sanders, Edward Markey, Mark Pocan, the justice democrats, & all other democrats. Vote in every single election- at all levels. And also _endorse or anti-endorse,_ in all elections you can, for outside your voting jurisdiction.
For _all_ public positions. And this same strategy applies against the same one or more party-monopolies in _all_ countries worldwide.
Real progressives will never be Democratic Members or Democratic loyalists. Never vote for _any_ Republican member or loyalist either.
If no candidates for a position fit that bill:
-Where _write-ins_ are permissible, always write-in an anti-authoritarian person;
-Where write-ins aren’t permissible, always vote uncommitted or leave the ballot blank.
This will continuously reduce the power of _all_ authoritarian parties in the party monopolies: Until our task is complete.
Repeat strategy for all new authoritarian parties that emerge.

Feels.so AI'ish though I agree with some of this.
I agree entirely. We need to make it obvious they have broken our trust.
Yes, that might mean somebody "worse" wins... the parties need to have pain so they realize they are doing wrong.
@@leechowning2712 This is so stupid I genuinely worry that Trump will win. The "pain" is not something felt only by parties that lose, but all of us. And the people who can hand wave it are either tremendously privileged or fatally stupid.
@@obedirect5491 It’s not AI ish at all. When you start reading more, you’ll see that important texts read like this
Fascinating and necessary conversation and of course more are needed, and not just on media but face to face. One thing: as a Latino who grew up in Chicago and lived 19 years in Colombia, who observed CBS news tell their story in the early 1970s on 6pm News about Vietnam I conclude that in modern societies elites and middle class groups want security and end up demanding violence against real or imagined enemies. I think and feel that majorities in the US do not know what was done in Vietnam. It is more a history of spectacle: the US suffered so much in Vietnam. Even progressives who express fair and needed outrage for Gaza must understand that we (humanity) have been living long timelines of capitalism/violence through the spectacle of violence, patriotic violence of course, so spectacle we see we consume, spectacle not reality, just reels and pictures, just denouncing, but not real, not felt in flesh and blood, not political action, so in the US - could also be Germany, UK, France...- people know that they do not want Lybia here, Vietnam here, Colombia here, Argentina here, so they can push the historical spectacle of US violence against other countries aside and choose the patriotic narrative, better law and order under Kamala than some terrible violence from the Right.
Dis Mf is cookin..
😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
I will take a cop being convicted because of body cameras over having to trust their character because of surveillance.
Excellent interview
I always wonder why the smart guys like this author are always telling people that organizing locally is the key to getting political power never actually do anything other than write about organizing and give talks on podcasts instead of practicing what they preach. But they never do.
Studying, philosophizing, writing, talking, making videos, and commenting on said videos are all easy things to do. Building stuff and doing things are hard.
I concur. Talk is cheap. And that sentiment applies to the host of this content as well.
"Honest politician" is an oxymoron. They are as elusive as unicorns if not extinct.
Her work is always interesting and well thought out. Might not always agree with her but she always makes me think. Outstanding videos.
It blows my mind how people are really falling for copmala tactics she will be no different than Genocidejoe😂🙄🤨
This is a really important podcast because Alec is asking tough questions that cops and prosecutors really don't want to answer. Indeed, if body cameras were the answer to police violence, then why is the incidence of police violence continuing to rise?
Imperial boomerang of our era...thanks for puncture the veil of "civility" and "democracy" and speak the truth!
I understand the focus on body cams shifts the focus from perhaps more important issues but I still feel we need them.
I don’t think its the body cam itself that is the problem the police should not be in control of the camera footage the footage should be available immediately and we should not have to wait for cops to approve the camera footage.
"push for warrant of arrest nitejaho please ICC""
Even his name is a lie,: mielekowski is polish
Eye opening! Great interview !!!
Complicit Kamala
This is why ppl dont call the cops anymore , why ppl dont like cops, why ppl mistrust cops.
If someone's in trouble, call the cops, and they'll come and make things much worse.
commenting for the algorithm, i want this show to grow exponentially.
