It’s not a lecture just a dictionary definition in the language used in the thread.
You can’t not watch something and then say it’s worthless. It’s raw footage.
It does not matter. You can cut edit and narate any footage. It is surelly worse than the 15 min segment Crowder put.
I saw how Chauvin was convicted of stupid shit he did not due and his entire offence was based on cut, edited and narated propaganda and no real evidence made by lawers. So I do not need to even think what someone that is ablebto direct a film can do.

There’s probably some culture input. But just on the side of the none police (civilian? The accused? Not sure of the term) I’m not sure.
I cant understand. Can you rephrase?
Sure. I’m wondering if it’s not just the mindset and approach of the person but also of the police officer?
I’ve talked before how the prison services of different countries have different aims and I was wondering if the same applies to law enforcement.
I understand it’s more complicated due to all the different agencies in America. I don’t know if they have same approach, mindset or values as each other. I don’t know if good practice for the FBI, police and sheriff’s are the same when stopping a car, for example.
Yeah, mea culpa. I mistook him for someone else and incorrectly presumed he was American… or maybe Soviet?
I recall now maybe he’s Austrian?
Anyhows, some significant rebellion events happened in the opening months of the American Revolution with only volunteer militia (and militia captains) Lexington, Concord, the siege and British evacuation of Boston… it fits the definition of insurrection - without military & generals
My turn to ask an honest question…
Do you believe that attacks on local police and government facilities and attacking republican politicians in the streets, their homes or in restaurants are protestors or insurrectionists?
You’ve given me several scenarios there. So, I’ll answer with an single example from here.
Recently in the UK a conservative MP was murdered with a knife. It is reported as terrorism, there’s been no disagreement with that from what I’ve seen. Same as when a labor MP was killed in the past. Regardless of whether we agreed with their politics or not, all politicians, media and the public see it as terrorism.
An attack on our democracy through attempted violence is seen as extremism and terrorism.
That’s the issue I have with others (not you) calling jan 6 an insurrection when other government officials, law enforcement, government facilities, etc are violently attacked, killed, burned, destroyed and taken over by citizens or non citizens and the same media, politicians of the other party and liberals are calling these acts as peaceful protesting and will not condemn these actions
In the court of law…words used matter on how criminals are charged with a crime

They apparently did not agree with that.
With all due respect to everyone here: This thread is about the on going fight against police funding, not January 6. Someone start a January 6 thread and let this one go back to the original intent.
There are some questions and points about defunding mixed into or between the Jan 6th stuff above if you want to put your opinion across.
I asked questions about culture, best practice across agencies and why there are so many more internet clips about American police than, say European.
Fitafter40 made the point that he wants more funding to root out corruption and improve training.
So a lot of back and forth but some links between the 2 areas.
Maybe Europeans aren’t as camera phone obsessed as Americans. Maybe Europe doesn’t have as much felonious behavior as America. Find a European Chicago or Philadelphia or St. Louis.

Maybe, but I doubt those reasons. deprived high crime areas ain’t American only and as for camera phones, they’re pretty common. People will film everything.
Violence is far more prevalent here and your average American is an impulsive cretin
You may have a point. But the majority of the videos I have seen the suspect/arrested person reacts to police very badly. In my experience we do not do that. It is in our culture, when police comes to behave and that they are the guys to get things in order. So when an officer orders we usually follow the orders.
Also our police seems a bit pro people. Like once I made a bad over taking over a truck. I was pulled and instead of getting a fat fine, they wrote me the smallest ticket there is and warned me not to that anymore.
Another time I was pulled for not fully stopping on a STOP sign. I was lying that I have an automatic transmition, therefore I did a quick stop and go, because I did not have to switch gear. The police officer laughed and let me go with a warning, fully knowing I was luying. The thing is he understood I know what I am doing. I could easily get the ticket removed in court, because I did not admit. And he understood as well that I knew what I was doing on the road driving, so there was no point to fine me in this case.
Yeah, and go see how cops behave in some African countries or Brazil.
Those are all pre-July 4, 1776, if I’m not mistaken. I don’t think he’s American, but I figured you were talking about America. The Continental Congress established an army in 1775. You(anyone…not you specifically) may be able to play semantic games with it, but there was already an established governmental body and army/militia. The people walking into the Capitol had neither. It was an embarrassing clusterfuck(edit: that is, if those that made headlines had any intention of doing anything other than being embarrassing…I don’t think they did).
well, well.:
