4:01 am
have checked out their firearms go up to them how to get the corner that. were on one corner and i didn't see him go around the corner i didn't seem to be running straight so at that point i don't know if he's waiting around the corner with a gun or not so that's. he pretty much just assume your way around the corner with a gun. you never know better safe than sorry i don't know that someone else isn't going to pull a gun out so. unfortunately around around here we end up going. to a better safe than sorry. the chase ended up with no major problem but this is not always the case none of the suspects were armed but the police chased them with the finger on the trigger. to point the guns very easily and also to shoot. so what are the rules
4:02 am
they are taught to follow. in the u.s. every state and every city often has its police academy. the one in pittsburgh is located a few meters from the police station usually that teaches a form of policeman. here like in france the training last one year but the average in the us is only of six months they thought. this morning the trainees are reviewing the highway code ok for a driver while be driving a driver with a drivers license expired within sixty days of the expiration was his fine sixty days his drivers law in this classroom they will learn the rules of the new ethics in crisis management but that is only
4:03 am
a small part of the program. the most important is this. in these images sim by the police itself we discover the training ground the loud music is used by trainers to raise the stress to the maximum. hidden behind blue tops they prepare future policeman for the west. this student will be confronted with an armed man who is shooting someone under stress the police trainee will direct his gun at the victim before changing his mind.
4:04 am
he. altie we have a great team we need to strengthen before the freefall world cold and your bets have been a legend to keep it tight at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in last but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that winning spirit to the r.c.t. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will come from the last three. thousand the joke was o.e.c.d. russia. i fly strike.
4:05 am

4:06 am
president chance two thousand and seventeen national security strategy report tells us how he sees the world or rather how the washington foreign policy leads to clearly washington's neo cons are running the show. let me add. on this video students are taught how to react in extremely violent situations. i want. them aggression but aggression. shoot shit policemen will follow this kind of training for two weeks just before starting to tatchell in the city. by.
4:07 am
the coach yelling on the videos it's him david wright a former policeman converted to combat sports he has trained every policeman in pittsburgh for the last fifteen years. too much violence doesn't worry him it's the opposite that preoccupies him well. my fear is that they under react if the officer under react perhaps fails to recognize that their life is in danger. by the time that they realize this it could be too late and they could be seriously hurt or killed want to put them under stress yes but we also we want to have the wind and you know it's just sort of like a coach on the sidelines yelling and screaming at their or their players to get moving at that point in the academy it's generally to get them going is to bring
4:08 am
out the best. shot by the violence of these videos we look for an expert's opinion delores jones brown is a professor at the university of new york and an american. according to her this type of training can explain why agents often use excessive force. absolutely is indicative of the warrior mindset statistically few people that you encounter are really going to be the kind of serious threat that would warrant that kind of aggressive behavior and they are actually training the folks just the opposite be ready and unfortunately they're it takes human beings to be
4:09 am
a police officer and they're subhuman beings that will come to the job already with aggression or anger management issues to train them the way that this training and then to tell that person and go out on the street and. anybody you encounter could be a threat. it's a recipe for disaster. it's a recipe for disaster i think. that particular video. maybe needs to happen to create. trainers who encourage police officers to behave aggressively in situations where they don't need to be aggressive. in the us students receive five times more training in these fighting techniques than resolving conflicts without violence. and the most important training is the control of firearms. in
4:10 am
a change in school but not only it is the only subject continuously throughout their careers. to assist a firearm training we went to set a grave in new jersey today as it is the case twice a year eight policemen will train in the cool environments. i yes yes. yes yes i hear yes but i. mean look at this growth you think that rose be attracted to that. despite the laughs the training is very serious.
4:11 am
fire. last year in the us one hundred twenty seven officers were killed on duty. in a country with three hundred million firearms in circulation the police mustn't lose hand we do the same thing over and over again so we do what we can do with our eyes closed probably because we do it over and over again it's we're taught the same way like our magazines are the same spots we don't have to look we don't you'll see us we don't look at our daughter we'll look at our our magazines at all it's all done by memory that you don't suit like i say no no no i don't know but i but you probably could do pretty good because you're so used to having the same spot all the time they want to get it in grained in them that it's muscle memory that they're able to do without even than without even having to think and it just becomes like a natural type of thing for you to do so you take a rest and exactly they're able to respond like that. in addition to the shooting range police officers train with the simulator just to tell you my adrenaline is
4:12 am
pumping right now so i'm a little true the situation is matric could he met a policeman a train with toy guns. you know just a ride disturbance call this is where the evaluation is tested is there a danger must the weapon be checked ounce. valuable. and if a threat to k.s. you're here for. the reaction is instantaneous the police fire six bullets with such mindsets the slightest mistake can be fatal right there. puts a good rating a sense in this thing way as again i very may very very well may have shot and that would have been bad for very bad very the officer could have killed an innocent man and he admits it with a smile because he's thinking about an old expression that old us policemen know. it's better to be tried by twelve than carried by six that basically we would
4:13 am
rather take the chance of going home and shooting someone rather than being placed in a casket because we have to second guess. which is that the police are not afraid of being sentences because they are rarely prosecuted nor convicted of the law allows them to shoot as soon as they feel threatened the soon as a police officer is afraid he can shoot already but when does fit begin and the sense of being threatened this is a subjective chris cherry that legitime its many abuses. in the us there are no official statistics on the number of people killed by the police. the police is not forced to provide that state. some n.g.o.s make statements listing the victims case by case the figure is a frightening. i've been able to find one thousand one hundred seventy five people
4:14 am
in total were killed by this it's when you've worked and off this amount two hundred victims that were not home and among them the most affected through americans they represent only thirteen percent of the population but compose fifty percent of the ficta. she was shot by the police every week today this statement scares america. in pittsburgh a victim testified. the survivor who almost died from bullet wounds. his name is ian ford. a dog. he is only twenty two years old.
4:15 am
he gave us an appointment on his childhood basketball ground. that's all the lot there was there in the. us. today leo cannot play he cannot even walk. his life was turned upside down after roadside spot check. every time. most of. the control was filmed from the police car which was equipped with a camera it was at night in november two and a half years ago initially it is a classic control. freak i
4:16 am
gave them my driver's license my registration my car insurance david cameron master mason but they ran a name l. for. when the police typed l fought the search result. displayed the warrant of arrest of lemon forward clement ford is black he is the same age as lee and is once a truck traffic leon who is waiting in the car does not have a criminal record but the police is convinced that he is the suspect. and was. on i've tried everything i could possibly to. use they were very aggressive they never asks me to get out the core. told me. they live in food is afraid and he
4:17 am
refuses to get out of the car or one of the policeman gets in on the passenger seat to force him out. there is no doubt in my mind that they were they were going to kill me i just knew that they were wanted in that moment. as soon as the car accelerates the policeman in the car fires five bullets. he will then say that he thought that leaving was armed. they called me out a call or told me that they hoped that i would die. for screaming worse and worse. and again telling me that they were. leo neither had drugs no weapons he is convinced that the police would not have acted the same way with a young white man. they don't think young black males have nice cars unless you're on the cover. so he
4:18 am
was kind of the allies for a time in that coming though that last caller. as more people to cover those sounds as they would label as criminals a police officer of course has power. and so mobile will get addicted to its power and do. bad things to good people. i had a great education a good job and
4:19 am
a family that loved me. i never had to worry about how i would eat some where i would sleep. i'm facing christmas alone out on the streets of london for you. on a political or you like. you know just wanted to still give up food for the homeless . but you don't really feel like a human being you know. and then. the guy just came over to do so with me and gave me a change of this book. i'm

4:21 am
controversial episodes in particular street and gone missing at the national archives claiming that civil servants simply misplaced. dot com stay with us now across to. follow and welcome to crossfire we're all things considered. president donald trump's two thousand and seventeen national security strategy tells us how he sees the world rather how the washington foreign policy leads for a candidate who ran on a message of change. the report is unremarkable in its defense the status quo policies and views clearly washington's neo cons are running the show.
4:22 am
the national security strategy i'm joined by my guests in washington michael o'hanlon is a senior fellow at the brookings institution and we have brian becker he's the director of the answer coalition as well as host of loud and clear a daily new show on radio sputnik all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate brian let me go to you first i'll be quite blunt i mean i read it quite carefully it seems more or less a continuation of what we've seen for almost the last thirty years and actually seems a lot more. confrontational i would say. the some of the points that about trade actually agree with on immigration i actually agree with but more or less the same guy the people that wrote the two thousand and seventeen report could have written the one justifying the iraq war if you actually compare texas they're very
4:23 am
similar in the words they use go ahead. well i think i'm glad you mentioned the iraq war because the national security strategy which is a congressionally mandated report from the executive branch. it sometimes is a predictor of what's coming in in the case of george w. bush six months before the invasion the shock and awe invasion of iraq. bush came out with a national security strategy which provided although we didn't use the exact words of preemptive war it was the logic of preemptive war another words the u.s. arrogating to itself the right to perceived threats and go to war against them even before the us has been attacked of course that would be a violation of the u.n. charter and international law but nonetheless it became a powerful logical explanation for what came later the question now with donald
4:24 am
trump's national security strategy is does this predict where trump is really going in and i think it i think it does i mean he mentioned china twenty four times in the report mentions china twenty four times all of them in a bellicose aggressive way it mentions russia in a in a bellicose an aggressive way there's no kind words for either china or russia iraq and north korea rogue states and of course non-state actors terrorism is the third dimension of the threat to america and so you have the trump administration sort of bringing together the america first or overarching sort of agit prop of the trump election campaign with this idea that the rise of china or the reemergence of russia now back on its feet means that america is receding that america is being humbled that america is the victim that america is threatened and so i think what trump has actually done is articulate the not just the possibility of
4:25 am
a new cold war but the logic of a new cold war and thus it becomes almost official in washington and. things will follow from that ok well that's a very interesting takeaway mike what was your reaction to it because when it was over a year ago i think it was when we still had candidate trump and he was. in the national interest i think his article was i mean this principled realism i still don't see anything principled and i don't see any really real is a minute here go ahead mike. hi peter nice to be with you i agree with some of what brian just said i do think that there is a tone in the report that is strong and that tries to push back and that push backs pushes back strongly against china russia north korea iran i agree with all that i do however and by the way you're aware i'm not a supporter of president trying but i never was but i know who he is and i know why he got elected and the putting america first concept if i could just begin with
4:26 am
that in my in my first comment because that is the centerpiece of the opening page and i think the title of the report or at least the subtitle and i think frankly the way in which that concept is described is basically ok now i share some of your and brian's concerns about the tone toward certain countries that we can come back to that but putting america first of course can be interpreted as a zero sum competition among nations or it can be interpreted as here our principles we're going to try to live by we expect others to live by them and if we can all do that then we can all prosper and at least in terms of the theory of the report at least in terms of the language that's on the paper i think that it's more the second that in fact there is an effort here to say we should be able to get along with other countries so some of the criticisms about the sort of generally negative tone of the report i don't really agree with that i do agree that the report is very tough on china and russia and north korea and iran ok let me read
4:27 am
you a short fragment here and this is directly directed to russia and china these competitions russia and china require the united states to rethink the policies of the past two decades policies based on the assumption that in gauge human with rivals and their inclusion in the in international institutions and global commerce will turn them into benign benign amazing actors and trustworthy partners for the most part this premise turned out to be false i mean this is really really remarkable it is you know it's not the international system it's the international. the system as it's perceived and constructed by the washington consensus and if the chinese and the russians don't want to play by our rules want you to rules they are rivals even adversaries and i pointed this language extremely arrogant because it doesn't it doesn't bring good policy foreign policy result for the united states and i would say put the world go ahead brian yes absolutely i'm so i'm so glad that you read that particular part of the report because it says so much it's not just that that
4:28 am
part of the report is not simply an attack on russia or china it's a repudiation of past u.s. policy or the perception of u.s. policy since the end of the soviet union when they're talking about going back a couple decades we're talking about going back to the time of the collapse of the soviet union in the socialist bloc countries so trump is repudiating the past twenty five years well during the past twenty five years the united states sought to function as a unit polar dominating power but still used multilateral institutions in other words kept the framework of multilateralism and the hallmark of american foreign policy at the conclusion of world war two and keep to the construct of the post world war two world order that had the united states in charge but in a multilateral framework where different powers including its defeated enemies from world war two japan and germany had a place they had
4:29 am
a place as junior partners where they were given access to markets etc rather than what happened after world war one trump i think is stepping back on a lot of levels the abandonment of the paris climate treaty the rejection of t p p the rejection of almost anything that has to do with a multilateral framework to bring up of the joint comprehensive planners trying to sabotage the iran nuclear arms deal we see in this document the us in america first it says america will be the dominant power we're no longer going to pretend. multi-lateralism is enough to keep china and russia and other countries in their place because they are rising and so american must put them back in their place and thus it will be by the exercise of american quote american threats american intimidation we see that at the u.n. today trump is telling the rest of the world you know if you vote that long way today on jerusalem you're going to be punished that's not engage me that's the cost
4:30 am
of the and using either military or the threats of military or economic aggression or sanctions as the way of this imploding or policing the new post world war and now post all cold war order that's very interesting you know mike when i read the report i found it to be very defensive about defense ok because i what really disturbed me was the lack of using diplomatic tools and i really very much agree with what brian was having to say here i mean particularly china i mean we've seen this in history over and over again a rising power either you you know back off and let it happen you deal with it or you have a war ok and it seems to me out of the three options here this administration is actually telling us get ready for a confrontation i don't think it's really necessary but that's what it looks like go ahead mike peter so thank you but let me focus like you just did on china for a minute i thought it was a little too strong.
