Police Accountability: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) 

Sadly that's the only problem with almost (if not all) the videos on this channel.

true

It's not just that it's still relevant. It's even more relevant now, and it becomes more and more relevant every day.

your last name is Hegedus, you don't know

@@Justin-tp1mx i'm sorry....what?

Bad idea - if such a device ever were invented, it would likely start off being advertised as a non-lethal alternative to use of lethal force, but eventually just become a pain compliance tool which is rarely used as a force alternative. OH WAIT

Fuck this is too real

It doesn't work as well as you'd think, actually...

how about tranquilizers gun ?

yeah i dont understand why they need special training for a taser and not for a gun.

It is if you don't piss off other corrupt cops then you get offered up to internal affairs

At least you can finally become street thug and never have to face any punishment

You can tell, because he isn't sitting in his white void

turns out it is

I watched it yesterday without realising it was from 3 years ago. I found out today while searching for the video and not finding it in the recent ones.

This week is even better

I swear, I thought it was for this week until I saw your comment....

iKordz exactly, it's like no one even listens to these videos they just come here to rally.

They do suck! They suck, Feminism sucks....Anyone claiming they fight for "equality" but spreads racism, violence, propaganda, plays the victim card, and so on and so forth sucks! It's funny seeing a white man defend them when all I hear from these people is straight up racism and sexism and soooo many threats towards white people (especially white men) coming from Blm and feminists. O but we're just so ignorant and delusional right? It's the truth!!! Stop enabling and pandering to pieces of shit and call them out on their shit!

You're a fucking idiot. How and why would someone choose to be so ignorant of everything?

+Jesse Bochek. I agree. Just look at the string of comments in response to my post above, lol. I didn't mention BLM, yet it was immediately brought up by people who are in denial.

@@IronLion219 I really hope you are joking.

Apparently, the courts have chosen to send the message that nothing that cop did was actually illegal, so every citizen has a green light to behave that way.

Of course not. Just some guy named John Miller.

Hahaha... Right.

e-Hire all the Russ-Thugu-KKKant hate-monger Pigs that can pass a polygraph. I call this the 'Floyd Standard'. Really easy... Pass-Fail. 1, have you ever assaulted a suspect that was already handcuffed? 2, have you ever lied about matters of law you investigated? 3, have you ever stolen anything from a crime scene or suspect? 4, have you ever turned a blind-eye to fellow officers' criminal actions? 5, have you ever planted evidence? 6, have you ever searched someone just so you could touch them? 7, have you ever withheld evidence? 8, have you ever abused your authority as a police officer? 9, have you ever perjured yourself? 10, Have you ever caused or took place in injuring a person under your authority?

🎤👇🙌

@@kevink.7597 although I would like to see that happen, if you are aware of what a polygraph looks for and can control heartbeat (I can, so I know its possible) it is really flawed. Plus being hooked up to a polygraph can cause false triggers, we need a more concrete method, more intensive training and actual repercussions for breaking the law, even detaining someone illegally which is a very very minor case for a lot of things should result in being fired on the spot and banned from being an officer in any department in the country. Cops get away with so much so they have the above the law ego we all hate with a passion

I can do you have a

I listened to rappers in the late eighties that covered this issue. He’s very late still.

Johns a moron the cops are fine other people need to stop breaking the damn law

Cole Shepherd Yeah.

Or you know do a follow up story in relation to what's happening in Minnesota.

We need a part two, at least.

How unbelievably disgusting is it that this was 3 years ago and you can't even tell.

Police need to be community based and shouldn't be hired from outside of said community. Police should live where they work. When a community knows the person behind the badge and vice versa it helps curtail a lot of these problems.

ADMA sixty. Thirty students times two years. They’d be the best in their field!

we.. all kinda understood even b4 any explanation that ^^that statement is obvi bs

No but it does make them as smart as any police department.

yeah wow its so fucking scary when you say it like that, its not too far off when even a simple security guard can easily be given a gun in this country...… these cops go to school for 2/less years and barely have to train before they are given a gun and sent out as a public servant....

@@mikeferster7966 school for 2 years??😳🤣🤣 not in MY town!

Very true. Lets excuse the horrendously corrupt police department due to "a few bad apples" however lets as a culture and society reject all immigrants and refugees because even a "few poisoned skittles in a bowl" is enough reason to reject the entire shipment! Oliver's observation is spot on.

Made even more so by the fact that the figure is closer to "one skittle in a swimming pool". It's a stupid analogy anyways, for a number of reasons, but that's another story.

You mean the 60% bad skilltes in a bowl (terrorist+rapist+murderes+sharia fans)

But the police in the USA has more problems than a few bad apples so you are right on that one

+SilentHunterSan you do realize that the US has let in over 700,000 refugees from the Middle East, right? And that of those, less than 5 have even attempted to form a terrorist plot? These are people, not monsters. They're fleeing their country to get away from terrorism, not start it. Not to mention the multiple agencies and years of approval that's needed to even step foot on US soil.

Police Unions are the new modern mafias.

a rat is a rat.

+Anton Ionov And a cat is a cat. What's your point?

Just another foreign Clinton Foundation donor- pay for play.

Hermaeus Mora Point is, it doesn't matter who says it, the police or the criminals, the saying applies either way.

This video shouldn't have been relevant when it was made. It was already long overdue when it was made.

That says a lot abut this corporate schlub making money off of it.

it's too relevant, heck the whole ignoring 10 people in the corner statement didn't age, it got younger.

All of LWT videos are about time bombs ticking or poisons slowly being ingested...relevant beyond time.

@@notori0uszig the police literally tried to get her ex boyfriend to implicate her on a crime she didn't commit so her killing could look more justified... there's plenty to hate about that case. The cops don't deserve to walk free. Evidence was also withheld from the grand jury

Except hillery clinton.

Could be sixty years old. Take money out of politics.

A LOT of training and licensing is much longer than training someone to carry a gun, pepper spray, tear gas, batons, etc... than cops training.

Bad apples cut some ears off

It's so bizarre to me to find out your cops only have a few weeks of training before starting for real! Here in the Netherlands the lowest level of education you can follow to become an actual cop (so not an assistant) is 2.5 years in a combined theoretical-practical program.

@@AliceDiableaux In Finland it is three year degree, with some practical training, but I don't know details on that.

That sounds like a good idea, which is why we will never have it here in the US

@@winniethepootietang6152 Good one, and I just adore your name😁💚

Sounds similar to the Norwegian system as well!

Im hev retarrd Haha. In this sense, I don’t think you could say that all black people are a bunch. Blacks do not have special black people responsibilities or any training on the proper way to be black people. And there certainly is no severe consequence to you for their failure to live up to these hypothetical yet nonexistent standards.

Im hev retarrd no you are not, cuz that would be like saying all cops are bad cops after encountering a few bad apples. The argument here is not that “all cops are bad cops.” The argument is that the presence of a few bad cops is a problem for the police system in general, because it causes distrust in an office that we should be able to trust to uphold the law.

@@jaromchristensen5598 Ah sorry, i misunderstood. I thought it was saying that all officers deserve to be labeled as bad just because of a few. I agree, it really does mess with the public's perception of a majority good work force.

P>p

It really comes down to #PersonalChoice. We can choose to do the right thing - even if no one is watching. Or... #EndPoliceBrutality #BLM

Blokka Nokka That’s “one bad banana will spoil the bunch”, I think.

A bad apple is rotten and needs throwing out. We shouldn't keep shoving them down people's throats - that's poison and has led to many deaths.

actually orchards produce significantly more bad apples than there are bad police proportional. police shootings that result in death is something like 0.01% of the entire police population. imagine scoring a 99.99% on a test and being told you failed.

Amen!!

It was a black kid. Are u really surprised.

It's been relevant since the Civil War.

it was relevant 4 years before it aired and 4 years before that and before that and. . . . .

This episode should have never been relevant, but it probably will be for many years to come. So many cops have committed heinous crimes during these protests, and a ton of them won't ever be prosecuted.

It shouldn't be more relevant.

This was the updated version.

0:00 update starts here.

It'll be out Sunday at like 3am. I'm like 99% sure.

Sadly, we got one.

That is a honestly a terrible idea. One could argue THAT'S why we have a police violence problem in the first place as it sounds that everyone scared they'll treat their children that way. Just teach them to be respectful and not give them ANYTHING to use against them. Be an INNOCENT, not SKETCHED OUT or AGGRESSIVE. You lose you're ground when you behave like an ASSHOLE no matter what you're a victim of because it decreases you're perceived innocence. Educate them as well. My mom is mixed paralegal and shit scares the shit outta anybody when I call her in. She knows EXACTLY what laws they're breaking and how to get it taken care of. She also knows how to avoid self incrimination and their manipulation of public miseducation. Like how if they ask to come in you can say hell no and you DON'T have to talk to them.

Cat Elkins ...I was not writing about an idea I had... I was saying that it’s bad that we have to do that in the first place and that it’s bad that police don’t inherently have the public’s best interests in mind

Oh *no.* *That's* what was familiar about that clip. "It's more scared of you than you are of it" would not have been out-of-place.

@@Gingersnaps_the_pumpkin_kitty you suck. That's why we have a police problem? Nice job entirely ignoring the problem bc you read the original comment wrong

@@Gingersnaps_the_pumpkin_kitty Oh, Cat.

EXACTLY

This is accurate both metaphorically and literally

Wow, mother of all double-edged sword. There's "a few bad apples" in the minority communities too.

Operator 801 That’s what we call a false equivalency. See, a minority doesn’t choose their ethnicity. It isn’t a brotherhood that they were welcomed into and consented to join and are paid for it. There are bad apples everywhere, in every group. It happens. But I know for a fact that I’m not in danger of being caged by minorities when I choose to use drugs. There is no such thing as a good cop. Every single cop has agreed as a matter of employment to enforce unjust laws. Every cop who has ever been part of an arrest for a nonviolent action is a piece of shit for following those orders.

@@myquest666420 Well Mike, you are simultaneously lying through your stupid face, making nonsensical standards, and refusing to take responsibility for your actions. That's NOT a false equivalency, because I never said that the police force is identical to being a minority. I simply re-used a stupid phrase in a way that points out how stupid and non-applicable it is. The fact that not everyone is perfect does not depend on volunteer status or income. The only reliable statement you made: "it happens". Congratulations on not fearing legal backlash when breaking the law. That doesn't make them "good" or even "better" people. It just makes them "not police". You wouldn't need to fear the police doing anything if you just STOPPED BREAKING THE LAW. The only "unjust law" you will ever find, are laws that change depending on the individual. Just because crack is illegal and you disagree does not make it an "unjust law". You have no constitutional right to meth or heroin, those laws are completely just, because the majority of voters have made it so. Your feelings here do not matter at all. There are a great many valid laws beyond violent offenses, and it would behoove you to learn that. Child rape, for example. Burglary and embezelement for further examples. I highly suggest you correct your infantile world view of actions and consequences if you think that you should only ever be imprisoned for violent crimes. But yeah, clearly the police are to blame.

Please everybody share at least 1 m times. Knowledge doesn't hurt (although some people are astonishingly resilient against it...).

Not paid too well in Canada but they get buy. Canada has their bad apples too but the way Police are trained and selected here they go through so many processes and testings that weed out the majority of them before they ever get a badge.

Reaching.....^^^^

Very.

TheUltimateBeing01 Z la​ do your research. How many LEOs being arrested for sex crimes with children in a single month would it take to get your attention?

and this is just in America it's much worse in other countries

The far right have a group that work to "fact-check" at facebook. If they don't agree with it, automatic fake news pile, with nothing to justify actually letting it be flagged

Is Canada taking American refugees?

let's hope so...

Kandhu you understand that's the majority of American Police officers as well.

Your point is? The vast majority of American officers don't use their gun either. My Uncle, who was an officer for nearly forty years, once told me that of the 100+ officers he worked with as a police officer, less than ten had ever fired their gun.

We are blessed, but let us not rest on our laurels! There is a growing corruption here too. Make no mistake. It has old roots and is spreading. We have been better at hiding it as all of Canada has: repressed the Native American issues, has myopic and often unwarranted 'Canadian pride complex', fails to bother with investigations often and has a media that, for so many years, has been in favor of the law enforcement industry-- cloaking the truth of misconduct and bad apples. There is so much waste in the legal system, it has to be a a mess of corruption! We also, like other countries, automatically give a hero status to those in uniform. The social psychology is akin to us Canadians thinking there is nothing wrong with our collapsing healthcare. Or how 6-7 years ago there growing indicators of a housing crisis but we just ignored the signs as citizens and declared it all to be regular economy cycles, because that is what we were fed. Exposure of abuse of power by the 'justice system' and law enforcement is only just now starting to boil over and where a meager amount of the population is becoming aware of the stories. Mostly, for whatever reason, some of the media outlets have changed the tune and are covering corruption and allegations more so. It is not just a media sensationalism attention grab, there is truth of corruption that has long been shadowed by a choice of ignorance. I think Canada is awesome and I respect law enforcement (there are loads of good men and women who hold the right ethics); however, I caution any fellow Canadian to not let his/her guard down for the sake of Canadian pride.

@JosukeHasCoolHair i lost brain cells reading this

Great point

Sure it's called racism.

You'll only feel scared if you're doing something wrong.

The Wolfrumble Tamir Rice must have been shaking in his boots?

I get scared, but only because I’m worried that their might be a crime being committed nearby because my local police department has a really good relationship with the community, but I know that that is not the case in many cities around me

Yeah and the same goes for society, If people would do what they are supposed to in life and live a life under some kind of honor there wouldn't be a need for an officer to have to treat everyone as a criminal. The only difference is their aren't riots claiming society currently sucks, instead you get people like the Slackers that can help kill 250k worth of people on American soil and he can BUY destruction of evidence of his guilt and legally buy off justice in other states. How do you uphold anything when people running the system are the root of the problem because as a whole no one abides by it?

@@nocturnal101ravenous6 I like how you said "Live by honor". I agree. People definitely live less and less by a social code that is acceptable for everyone.

@@user-fh6sm4sb4x Lets be honest, people these days are a bunch of sociopaths, they really only care what they can get and are obsessed with doing as little as possible for the most they can get. If people actually cared situations like this would never occur, but the high road isn't worth taking when you can watch it happen and then seek brownie points later in protest. The policeman should never have been that violent, The Criminal should never have been High on drugs, drunk, and breaking the law. 2 Wrongs don't make a right, but you are either protesting African Americans being suppressed or you are protesting police brutality, pick 1 or the other because the first is complete racist BS spread by the media and ill-educated people with the wrong facts, Does it happen? yes, is it the majority of the situations happening...no it doesn't in fact more white people die per year in the US due to police, does it matter they are white, not really except to prove these people are selfish racist pigs. People are so full of their own BS to the point they lost all honor and they have no moral or ethical compass, they claim to, but the reality is always quite the opposite.

I was wondering the same.

yes. all of the above..

Shooting the fucking sergeant in his fat fucking face 15 fucking times and experiencing a mind-shattering orgasm on the 14th shot... That's a pretty dangerous loss of composure, when you think about it.

I was imagining he was acting out movie scenes, but yeah, it could have been much worse then that.

@@ahbbuddha 😂😂😂😂😂

Also keep in mind, these people get leftover toys from the military thanks to the military industrial complex. I went to high school with people that are entering the police force now (and barely graduated). None of those people should ever have access to a *fucking tank* or an armory full of armor piercing fully-automatic rifles.

While the idea is certainly not a bad one, I don't feel it's practical. I would be interested to know which countries train their Officers for years, without them working on the streets. Training can only teach you so much before you have to do it for real, with real stress and real resistance that could cost you your life. How long is enough before you have to get the true outcome? More time could be focused on mental health for instance, working with people that really need it. But again how much is enough before they have to go and do it? I have talked to people about the idea of having "mentors", where following training and someone is on their own they still ride with a second person that acts as a mentor. But that isn't practical if your department is understaffed. Also no US departments have a fucking tank, that ridiculous. Tracked, or armored vehicles maybe, but no tanks. Nor do any have an armory full of "armor piercing fully-automatic rifles". Even if you have a bunch, you still have to have shotguns and smoke grenades, so it wouldn't be full.

I beg to differ about the tanks. I drive by one on the way to work, Google sheriff joes tank. Maricopa county has 64 apc's 17 helicopters ans a 50 caliber machine gun yipee ky-yei yai!

Why the fuck are you posting your police force ideas in the form of a YT comment? There's this thing called Reddit you know.

Generalee72 : France !

Exactly, however things have gotten to the point where 'protecting your own' is no longer a responsibility but a must, and that's regardless of whether they deserve it or not. You would think at least enough of Police would have pride in what their job represents to punish those who don't uphold it. However, what instead happens is that anyone who comes under the banner of Cop gets unconditional protection.

Unfortunately "Getting rid of the bad apples" isn't enough when there's so many of them. People say "There's only a few bad cops and evil liberal media is just trying to make all cops look bad!" but that really isn't the case. It's ridiculously easy to become a police officer in most parts of America, they're poorly trained and poorly educated. That's one large root of the problem. Yeah, we can get rid of bad apples all day long, but it does nothing when we keep filling the barrel up with more of them.

Are you an officer?

What about getting rid of the bad apples in the community, oh nvm, the cops are already doing that. You know the ones on PCP that don't comply, or that reach for guns in their pockets while being arrested, or that have something that resembles a weapon. See when a cop says get your hands up, lay on the ground, they are doing that for their safety and yours and those around you. They don't want to shoot, they don't want stray bullets, they don't want collateral damage. One shot, center mass is GOOD training. They cannot read minds, so don't do shit unless they tell you to. I'm watching this show last night and just seeing how ignorant some of these people are, telling the police not to shoot, I don't have a weapon, etc. Morons, I'm sure that's going to go over as well as, "don't search my purse, I don't have any drugs." They cannot give people the benefit of the doubt, they cannot give the opportunity to cause harm somewhere else. If you comply it's the only way to assure these things.

Or in the case of Bulmers, make cider out of them.

This is truly scary AF we dont have this problem in the UK as police are not armed on the street

If you have a few bad apples, chances are the others have become tainted as well. Best to toss out the whole fucking thing.

Stephen Butterfield not entirely accurate. we do still have an abuse of power. black people, autistic people and others have died whilst in police custody and prosecutions are, again, rare.

Drastic headcase,yes in UK that does happen,like the police van your in weaves back and forth,side to side so your thrown around inside,but when UK cops are armed it's in response to an armed situation,my sister is one of those officers,but police on the beat don't have firearms on them as they do in USA,that's why it's scary af to me and yes I have lived in USA too

That's actually a good idea.

Or not breaking the law

You are, of course, correct. However, Trump is not just a symptom, but also a driving factor. It's like the biggest, baddest apple telling all the other bad apples that "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" in the middle of an arguably justified period of civic unrest. That's not just being a symptom, that's a driving problem, simply because that's the commander in chief.

@William Hutchinson Why did he get the name sleepy Joe? I've always wondered that. Edit: everyone other than the op answering as if I don't already know. Geez.

But nobody on that side actually has any reason for calling him that other than repeating a naritive they're too stupid to question because they watch too much Fox news. Honestly the stupidity on both sides is staggering. One side wants a stupid immoral dictatorship and the other wants retarded socialism. Both are completely stupid. God help us.

@@aholder4471 Because Trump gives demeaning nicknames all those whom he considers an obstacle to him retaining the throne. In years past, this would have lost him all creditability with the electorate. Now? I guess the tactics used your average eight-year-old are are acceptable.

@@aholder4471 There's no rhyme or reason - as with anything Trump said. Trump has always made up names for his enemies because he can't attack their track record as however bad they are, his is always worse.

Barry Geistwhite he’s still a racist asshole that’s stirring the pot in our country and making things worse.

Keep it up

I’m so sorry, you sound like a great person, I’m sorry law enforcement failed you

Carlos Camacho thank you. I served my Sheriff with pride and loved everything about my job. Law enforcement is a very grimy business and no matter how big or small the agency, politics and the “good ole boy” system will always prevail. I will never forget the very first question of my first recorded interview for the Sheriff’s Office, they asked “Who do you know here?” I grew up in that county my whole life but didn’t personally know anyone that worked for there, so I was an oddball from the get go. When it came to them trying to fire me over the CPR incident, nobody came to back me even though I had stood up for everyone I worked with in that jail at one point or another. It has taken almost 4 years but the depression and rage are finally starting to subside and I now live across the country and make an okay living as a truck driver. But I’ll never stop telling the truth and exposing law enforcement for the frauds they are.

What was the reason stated?

Gideon Bellamy I was a probationary employee (less than 12 months) and they said that since I didn’t check for a pulse before starting that I didn’t meet the requirements to work there. However, even the American Heart Association says that checking for a pulse is not a required first step. They say that pulses can be too faint to detect and vary from person to person. They say that if no breathing is detected and no response is given from the casualty, you can start performing chest compressions. But because of my status as a probationary employee, they can legally fire me for absolutely no reason and I have no rights and cannot consult with Human Resources to challenge any decision. I was broke and couldn’t afford an attorney but fortunately I was able to meet with the Sheriff and plead with him to allow me to resign.

Yikai Yang The situation continues to get worse the longer Trump is in office. Not only does Trump himself frequently encourage violence, but it seems like his bad behavior has given people permission to behave their worst including some members of the police force.

Exactly it’s a shame the ruling class cares so little about his fellow man

The elites are sociopaths.

Karobi Right now they say we should blame the democrats, the media, even the minority communities. I wonder who we were blaming years ago and if the solution going forward will just be to blame?

People voted for a guy who promised them to encourage their racism and xenophobia. What did you expect.

Well, trulo and shit, how a change is possible...

The issue isn’t that more people need to know about it. The issue is…. unfortunately americas systems and institutions allow a minority of people with money and power to block the betterment of the country for the vast majority of people who think it’s fucked up…. Money&power> hundreds of millions of citizens

@@christopherbohanan4453 Oh man its been 10 months and I have become so disillusioned since then its not even funny.

Officers that speak out against bad apples can be punished in humiliating ways by calling them rats, harassing them, and in some cases can even ignore them in dire situations. The higher-ups that condone the horrendous acts are definitely to blame, but fellow officers speaking out can be punished for being a decent human being

Yes! Don't tell me your a good cop if you stand by and do nothing. That makes you a bad cop. Period.

It's easy to ask others to take risks and make sacrifices.

We didn't put ourselves in those positions though.
