00:00You saw a figure in your backyard in the middle of the night. You call the police.
00:04And you should. But, what kind of police officer are you going to have standing in your door?
00:09Are they trustworthy? I'm not against the police, but I decided to analyze a few behaviors that you
00:15should keep in mind. Most calls end with good policing. Good policing looks like this. He says
00:20his name and badge number. First, he tells you why he is at your door. He listens. To your story
00:27about the figure first. He keeps his hands visible and his voice calm. He explains what he is going to
00:33do. Next, that is what you want to see. There is also something. Called fear thy neighbor dot it is
00:40the bystander. Effect, people film instead of helping dot in some cases. An officer was even
00:46assigned just to keep the crowd. Back, that happened in the Floyd case, officer. To thou stood and kept
00:53bystanders. Away so watch how the officer handles you and anyone. Watching. Does he explain or does
01:00he just block? Let me give you to real cases. Plain and simple. Case 1. Rodney King. March 3, 1991.
01:09Lakeview Terrace. Los Angeles. 101 mile per hour chase. Che Che P stops him. 20 plus LAPD arrive. A man

01:42against the others. State trial moved to Simi Valley. April 29, 1992. Not guilty. That acquittal
