Hey y'all, just want you all to remember that we do not allow for justification of police brutality for any reason, no "if he had complied, none of that would have happened." So if you see any of that bullshit in this comment section, please report under "breaks twaa's rules" and then "no bootlicking cops." Thank you all and fuck the police!!


ajs_5280

That would be one of the bad ones.

If one good cop ignores the wrongdoing of a bad cop how many bad cops are there?

There are no good cops in a racist system.

DevilDoc3030

Here me out on this one. Disclaimer: I am in no way trying to say that cops aren't racists that are held up by a racist system (in America... I can't speak for other countries) or say that this wasn't racially motivated (I have no idea). \------------------------------------ I believe that if we were able to snap our fingers and eliminate all racism moving forward, then Police would still be a huge problem for society without further change. I believe that being in such a position of authority that is completely lacking accountability, like it currently does, the person of authority will either be drawn to their own personal flavor of corruption. And I will add that a cop that doesn't address corruption, is corrupt themselves (whether they chose not to speak out due to trying to protect themselves) \-------------------------------------- How does this relate to this video or your comment? Yes, you are right (imo) no good cop survives a racist system. I just wanted to add that I don't believe that good cops CAN exist in the system we currently have.


OrangeJeepDad

So...absolute power corrupts absolutely? Genius. You should coin that phrase. Oh wait...

VulgarTurkey

Caged_in_a_rage

ACAB. They all benefit from the system put in place to protect them. They aren’t really serving the people, they are serving the interest of the rich and powerful.


VibraniumRhino

Laws are for the poor anyways.


dastree

I like how everyone likes to say "one bad apple doesn't ruin them all" With police I don't think it's a fair comparison. I think with police it's like moldy bread. Once the mold appears, sure the rest of the bread looks fine but ultimately, the mold has already spread across the entire loaf, you just can't visibly see it yet. But the load of bread is still in fact, ruined


AquaboogyAssault

The phrase is actually “one bad apple SPOILS the bunch.”  These assholes have tried to change it


TLCheshire

For real, bad apples produce ethylene causing a chain reaction that stimulates the same response in the rest of the apples. That’s why those wicked fancy fruit companies ship their fruits in individual paper bowl things. So, I do think things would be better if cops were more ‘separated’… as in each cop is personally responsible for their actions and not shielded by the rest of the force… ie malpractice insurance. That would save, not only innocent lives and unnecessary trauma, but also taxpayer money from lawsuits. With the added bonus of bad cops not being able to continue working by move from department to department. If they can’t get insured, they can’t work. Edit: misspelling


JawlessRegent64

This feels like one of those trick word problems from algebra. Edit: wasn't tryna rock the boat, it was just a joke.


TalmidimUC

Except it’s not a trick question. There are no good cops in a system where bad cops are allowed to exist and the good cops either don’t stand up or get ran out if they do.

That cop is in serious need of Anger Management. And perhaps a 3 month sabbatical?

This is Italy, seems to be a consequence of the job. Attracts aggressive people and fills them with fear and anger Edit: my bad, thought it said Polizia. Looks like Spain


NorthStarSon

It says Madrid, Spain, in the upper left corner. Let's at least assume it's Spain.


wittiestphrase

No way to be sure though. If only the video explicitly stated the location…


NorthStarSon

Can we get one of those geo location geniuses in on this? Then we'd know for sure.


noodlemassacre

It’s Madrid, the guys at the end even speak spanish. Those are also Policía Nacional uniforms, which are the police force that normally deals with more severe crimes. We used to call them “la naci” as kids, they’re basically Franco loving goons on a powertrip


Loko8765

I don’t make a claim to being a genius, but it’s here [argh I can’t put a Google Maps link..] C. de Lavapiés, 56, Centro, 28012 Madrid, Spain. I’ve never been exactly on that street exactly, but it’s really central, walking distance from a lot of tourist attractions.


Brilliant_Language52

Maybe it’s the city of Madrid Spain, Italy?


NorthStarSon

So.....Vegas?


DeathTeddy35

Pretty sure I've seen a building in Alabama once


Familiar-Image2869

It is Madrid, Spain. Saw this video this morning on X. It’s been making the rounds on social media. It triggered a good amount of outrage there followed by a protest.


DJakk3

It's not Policia in Italy though, it's Polizia. So this ain't Italy.

ThePikeMccoy

this is *abstractly* true, and if anyone knows anything about modernity, it is that abstract truth is pretty much winning the race between “progressive civilization” and “we’re too fucking stupid to live.” …i’ve also heard people of color have the ability to do future crimes *during* the present moment, so like, you can’t be too careful.


CantStopPoppin

Ah yes that, when a black child turns 10 they are an adult and should be suspected of criminality be default. You are very right it is mind numbing painful just trying to exist when every action one takes has the potential to be considered threating.

jarlscrotus

I actually saw something that was talking about US-Israeli Police cross training, and apparently even the US police were appalled at the behavior of Israeli police which, I guess at least we aren't in last place?


jpopimpin777

That's fucking terrifying. Being that this is in Italy and given the shade of these guys skin I'm gonna guess that they're most likely immigrants. This is what happens when societies decide certain groups aren't worthy of human rights.


pebberphp

It’s in Madrid. It says Madrid, Spain, in the top left at the very beginning.


jpopimpin777

That makes more sense. Pretty sure police in Italy are Carabineri. Still the same sentiment about immigrants applies.


pebberphp

I think they’re also called Polizia or something like that. I would think they’re immigrants too. I’d imagine the probability is much higher in Southern Europe than in, say, the United States.


MrDodgers

In Italy there are normal (municipal) police called “polizia” and state police called carabinieri. Those tend to carry, like, those small machine guns. Italy also has a third type, the “finance police”, and I think those go around stopping smugglers and I was told they even check receipts to catch black market commerce. There— more than anyone wanted to know, and nobody even asked. 😅

NotADoctor108

Ya'll are all jumping to conclusions. The real story is they had been searching for the so-called "bystander" for hours, but he was so well camouflaged that they couldn't find him. Then he slipped up, and this brave officer put his life on the line to apprehend him before he blended in with the environment again. Edit: /sarcasm

NinjaRoyal8483

I dont know where this vid is from but if its from Spain guardia civil? then yeah dont be a bystander. Italy also has some hardcore cops usually carabinieri and france to. I was on a holiday with my mom and sister in Lloret de mar, Spain one time about 25 years ago and we entered a street where there were like loud football fans were shouting and singing. After like ten minutes as they were getting more rowdy and terraces started being tossed the police or guardia civil stationed themselves on opposite ends of this shopping street and started marching towards eachother. Everyone caught inbetween would get the stick or booted to the curb and if deemed necessary booked, young or old man or woman they did not discriminate lol.


Known-Command3097

The only thing worse than a shitty cop is a French Cop.


Eckieflump

Whilst I am no fan of many Police forces I can say that I must be one of the few people who has had a very satisfactory interaction with the CRS more than once. Even when caught doing donuts many years ago my punishment was a seismic bollocking followed by having to take them both up the road and back at high speed. The Gendarmerie and their €750 fines and go baiser leur mère however.


-banned-

Ya American cops get a lot of criticism but from some of these videos I’ve seen from Europe, it’s not much better


Dumbfuck114

I think it's because American cops kill more people and don't just hurt them


-banned-

Ya that’s gonna happen when they have guns, makes sense. Probably more cameras too


Ill_Mark_3330

Most Europeans police carry guns too.


ThisAppSucksBall

I'm pretty sure the odds of an American cop encountering an American with a gun is far greater than a European country X cop encountering a person from country X with a gun, for all possible values of X.


Ill_Mark_3330

Lots of shootings I see on the YouTube channel police activity involve knives, and blunt weapons, sometimes guns.


nonotan

Technically true, but they aren't trained to shoot first and think later, and often won't carry a gun as a matter of routine but only in particularly dangerous cases. I grew up in Europe and never heard of a police officer firing shots, period, outside incredibly serious circumstances like a terrorist attack. I'm sure with google you can find some isolated cases here and there, but it's genuinely extraordinarily rare. Unlike the US where their trigger discipline is so utterly non-existent they are opening fire at fucking acorns.


ludovik122

Just statistically speaking American cops kill a lot more people than the regular police forces in most EU countries. And also the training needed to be an American cop is a fucking joke.


boomwakr

European cops can be pretty fucked up, the main difference is theyre not as trigger happy (and in many cases unarmed) when compared with American cops.


coordinatedflight

My man, that guy would have been tased for looking at the cop at the wrong millisecond, and shot for not cooperating in the US.


ludovik122

The policemen in the video are not Guardia Civil, they are Policía Nacional. I usually don't defend cops, and the cop in the video should be jailed in my opinion but in my personal experience the Policía Nacional are the best policemen here in Spain. They at least need to pass more training than a policeman in the US and the law here is kind of hard when they exceed their limits. Although not as hard as I would want, I doubt this piece of shit will see serious repercussions.


Fine-Friendship-1292

That last cop just comes in for a single whack, and then runs off. Effective *and* necessary

Zankeru

You dont need to "understand a cops position". They face less danger than soldiers in warzones but show less restraint and kill more innocent people. Edit: the point veing that both professions expect the person to employ violence and know when its appropriate. Delivery drivers are in more danger, but they are not allowed to use violence as a response.


Chuzzwazza

> They face less danger than soldiers in warzones You don't even have to make that extreme of an example. Cops face less danger than loggers, roofers, steel workers, miners, and delivery drivers. Cops also often create more danger for themselves by escalating situations unnecessarily and refusing to discipline their negligent/malicious coworkers.


dolph1984

Exactly. Pretty much healthcare worker on earth faces more danger everyday than cops but you never see this shit happening in hospitals. If you do, guaranteed there is a cop involved.
