Oh the shit police put up with every single shift is crazy. I trained BJJ with a few, all good people, in it to truly make a positive difference, and the stories were outrageous. I couldn't do the job and I am a very even keeled person.

One who was a K-9 officer, so he was all over Phoenix and usually in bad situations, said that on almost every call people come out of the woodwork, taunting them, threatening them, filming them trying to provoke a response. It's absolutely crazy.

Whilst on the subject of YT, I've been pretty enamored with this channel. This guy does reporting in the craziest places and isn't very exploitative about it like many wannabe journalists.

Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan - YouTube

The SF and Philly videos... whoa

The Channel 5 guy is fantastic with some really thought provoking videos. Very good storyteller.

And yeah, some of the body cam stuff on youtube is 100% mental illness or addiction, but not all by a long shot. There are plenty of entitled douche bags who think they are smarter than the law, screw around, and find out.

As I said, i watch both sides of these things and the videos themselves are fascinating to me as is the youtube comments. You always hear about how different stops happen depending on the race of the person arrested, but I just don't see it in "most" of these videos. Usually, it's just the way the person acts that gets them in trouble.

Most common cop saying: stop or stop resisting
Most common perp saying: I didn't do nothing/anything

Note to self. If a cop stops me, first word from me is: Don't talk to me, I want a lawyer.

Just a guess, but I'm going to say alcohol is the cause of 50%+ of these bodycams.
