POLICE lie
Delete Lawz is where you learn how to handle police. Always film & invoke 5th & file civil suit..
As a former domestic partner who was subjected to , and survived the severe domestic violence perpetrated from a police officer. The incidents took place 30 years ago. The court and legal aspects took twice as long, and thus added further to the emotional, legal, psychological, financial, and other types of violence that though the relationship ended thirty years ago, the afflicted damage to myself and the other victims continues for us 24/7/365 days a year. Bad cops are like crab grass, they ruin the lawn….
Derek Shawen was innocent of murdering George Floyd. The man died of a overdose. That was what the coroner said not that he died from strangulation or compression of the neck. Derek Shovan was sacrificed on the altar of public vote this and racism. And it’s all coming out now even the DJ who is prosecute them has testified that she was told that afternoon, Florida not died from strangulation Örnek compression. And that he had died very likely from a fennel overdose as he had said no cannabis and other drugs in the system.
I’m 28 minutes in and something about how the officer frames his replies keeps giving “But! I’m one of the good guys, the good guys work with meâ€. Going to watch the documentary soon but just noticed that about his language.
27:00 With all due respect, crime went up in Minneapolis because the ROGUE police force SHOT and had been shooting unarmed black people and the people had finally had enough. And they stopped respecting the police as a consequence.
Crime did not go up because the citizens demanded police reform. Shame on you for saying that. It was YOU guys who triggered the whole thing, not the people.

Recap by Tammy AI
When your raised, from cradle to grave believing and being told that your are a victim (void of personal responsibility)
What is the outcome you expect?
Chronic bastardization victimhood syndrome of a SMASHED culture
Check out the FBI statistics
Check out the CDC statistics (where they break down crime statistics by demographic)
Change your OBJECTIVE “feelingsâ€
Adopt SUBJECTIVE facts and statistics
Should your feelings carry more weight than FACTS
You should go find your dad, and let the adults talk
wonderful discussion, thought- and respectful… very much appreciated, thanks to all 4 guys 😊
Mpd needs to be dismantled let the sheriff take over
My hypothesis was that no police officer could be so stupid to murder somebody like that while on camera , so I thought the oficer must have some how gotten Floyd's drugs in his system , but after seeing the frontline videos of the previous police brutality of the officer , I now concur with the findings of the court .
Just abide by the dam law…
EXCUSE ME? "GENTLE INNOCENT MAN?" UR KIDDING ME.
There is no such thing, as the girl described, as a "progressive police chief". That's not a thing. This long history would not be a thing with a progressive person at the helm!
Did you hear that "cop mentality" that officer spewed? "The officers were fired and we hoped that would kinda calm people down…It didn't."
The idea that getting fired would be enough knowing they would have arrested any citizen and would have wanted the death penalty…shows that ALL cops feel entitled to not be held accountable to the same laws, much less any higher standards, as everyone else.
He thought what he said and he meant what he thought. Disgusting!
Blm was such a scam… So many bought into it. Just came here to say that. Bye
Imagine if George Floyd decided to take his daughter to the park that day….He chose to ingest illegal street drugs and pass a counterfeit 20. Personal responsibility sets you on path where your actions can create positive reactions…
This dull blather was released just two weeks before the blockbuster mid-June 2023 DOJ report on systemic problems with MPD?
Why? That massive report, laden with evidence & specific examples of chronic abuses of police power, should have been incorporated.
Poor planning here, troubling timing.
It’s media coverage like this that is helping to fuel anti police propaganda. Look at the cities that have followed these ideas to their extreme and see the results: increase in violent crime, rampant thefts…it’s a long sad list. Demonize the police and you demonize the overwhelming number of good people who work to protect the public. Who will fill these ever depleting ranks with media coverage like this?
They finally got them! Way to go DOJ! Now get rid of the Union President!
Wow I must admit I was a bit disappointed by this. Important discussion but I like the typical Frontline documentary style best
These ppl says to get rid of the police, perhaps instead we get rid of the ignorant blacks….. or all blacks.
Even to this day, I’d be terrified to be a black man in Minneapolis! This department has not been reformed as long as the police union is running the force. It is impossible to get rid of a bad cop. It reminds me of the criminal unions that ran the machinist unions, back in the day.
Beware in Minneapolis! End of story. Make sure you never have to call them for anything.
You may being paying $10,000 a year in property taxes, but if you’re black, stay OUT of their sights!
When you carefully look at the look on Derek Chauvin face, there is pleasure there, a quiet waiting, for the big rush to happen. He was waiting for the rush of power in death.
I’m waiting……for justice to be done in prison. All it takes, is a slip of the guards.
Aren’t you state sponsored PROPAGANDA now?
PBS,BBC ETC.
CAN WE BELIEVE anything YOU SAY. anything?
What about the number of African American men who've been shot down by the police Saint George Floyd. I get it that George Floyd's situation was terrible. but many have suffered since then. And we should stop saying things like abolish the police. 1st of all it's never gonna happen and you sound stupid af.
I struggle with the opening objective: the journalist wants to see what it's like being a police officer in a city struggling with violent crime.
They open with talking about George Floyd, who wasn't cuffed for a *violent crime*.
In discussing violence toward POC by police, it's rarely violent offenders.
Starting the video with this kind of false correlation has me questioning your purpose for the rest of the video,and honestly,I'm too damn tires this morning to give it a chance.
I may come back later idk.
White collar corporate companies relies on law enforcement for example my families had A contract too clean Bank's when I was in elementary school and junior high school and the bank 🦠owner's let us come too work with our mother or grandma Patrice and Ola. Me and my brother bloodline brother not half or step. The moral of the story they are so needed and in high demand.
Thank you for sharing law officer's what you say do matter it is important. Furthermore being A humanitarian A MILITARY raised child I have families member's that have worked as police officers and they are women and also cop's that are friend's of the family members that had been at my workforce as A janitor for the cops homicide detectives and deputy sheriff's department offices I was 18 & 19 just had my firstborn child I have two son's. In third and fourth grade when I changed my ideal too be A lawyer I thought about being A private detectives all through my teenage year's working in junior high school ðŸ«. Safety first honor and you protect it is in the Holy Bible.
We should copy New Zealand’s model of law enforcement.
The white protesters, lul.
George Floyd was far from a Saint. He once held a gun to a pregnant woman's stomach while two of his "friends" robbed her home
La Vega's
Garbage
Zoom call is not documentary damn click bait
If there's a top 10 police policy that should change, one of them would be "Police monthly quotas"!. Take or easing this policy would drastically reduce the chances of someone getting hurt on all sides.
You woke yourself our in the first 15 seconds, no thanks propaganda agent.
The downfall of america
Everyone should go look at the autopsy of George Floyd he died of fentanyl and number of other reasons
He got what was coming to him.
Since defunding the police didn't work, maybe we should just abolish them completely like some democrats want to do.
"A virtual discussion event?" NO thanks, there's enough unintelligent yappers online already. We hardly need more.
REALLY RUSSIA 🇷🇺 AND BELARUS 🇧🇾 IS A TERORIST STATE AND FAILED STATE !!!!!!
PUTIN AND LUKASHENKO-WAR CRIMINAL !!!!!
Look how much tax money we've saved since he's gone
It will happen again
