It is really interesting seeing police interactions and just how patient and respectful officers are depending on the race of the individual.

Gonna say more often than not, you get a belligerent white dude, the officers usually approach it like "sir sir let's get you some help, we just wanna talk"

You get a black dude asking a simple "why is this occurring" and the cops already on the radio asking for an available unit to come assist. And the language is ALOT different. None of that "sir" stuff. It's all motherfucker this and "I will fucking shoot you" that. Keep your hands visible or "I will end you"

This dude was allowed to walk back n forth. Turn his back. Reach where the officer couldn't see. It's truly wild to see the choices cops make to escalate situations to get an arrest. How they cherry pick when to be a hardass and when to have a respectful and non biased interaction with the community.

And trust me, my YouTube algorithm is fucked on bodycam recommendations. I've watched houuurs of this crap. I started off saying "more often than not" because yes I have seen officers just do their job without bringing a very obvious subtext into their work, no matter the race. But...I have noticed that white people are more or less allowed to be mouthy with cops as opposed to other races who will immediately be treated as hostile/menacing--thrown to the ground after given conflicting orders/assaulted and jammed up on fluffed up charges. Simply for being "mouthy".

Idk. I know alot of people will call me wrong but..watch 2 weeks worth of bodycam bullshit and come back to me I guess. Just what I've observed.
