pittsburgh pennsylvania six hundred kilometers from new york. a city of three hundred thousand inhabitants with a long history of police violence. we asked offices if we could follow them during a patch. and we understood that any control can get out of hand. offices lance and lou come on duty. in an unmarked. east of the city in zone five. this is the district with the highest case numbers of
12:34 am
police violence in the past is it is an afro-american neighborhood a dangerous area the office is a nervous. to take a stand a fairly robust. think you're going to get but. the police are looking for weapons so they scrutinize every move of pastas by they do not hesitate to check their pockets and belts. everyone is under suspicion. if she minutes later we follow another police car that is about to control a red vehicle for speeding. and hearing you know here when they're. pretty good to hear
12:35 am
a passenger comes out. when the policeman said when they see you're in another passing just please. before we had time to get out and fill. it again. the policeman hidden by the great car has already taken his weapon. the red vehicle escapes the chase begins. to meet up with. reality. oh no you very much. want to go. to minute
12:36 am
chase the vehicle is found in. the woods. the passengers have old vanished. the scale the fence and i got a real good look. he had no and he just no weapon has been found no agent has been threatened but all offices have checked out their firearms go up to them how to get the corner that. we were on one corner and i didn't see him go around the corner i didn't seem to be on it straight so at that point i don't know if he's waiting around the corner with a gun or not so that's. you 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 yeah unfortunately around around here we had up on our guns a lot. better safe than sorry.
12:37 am
to chase ended up with no major problem before but this is not always the case none of the suspects were armed but the police chased them with the finger on the trigger and. the american police are allowed to point guns very easily and also to shoot. so what is the rules they are taught to follow. in the us every state and every city often has its police academy. the one in pittsburgh is located a few meters from the police station usually the teaches a former policeman. here. like in france the training not swung year but the average in the us is only of six months. off. this morning the trainees are reviewing the highway code ok for driver flood to
12:38 am
drive in drive with a driver's license expired within sixty days and days or the expiration was his fine sixty days his drivers live in this classroom they will learn the rules of the new ethics in crisis management but that is only a small part of the program. the most important is this. and. in these images sim by the police itself we discover the training ground the loud music is used by train is 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
12:39 am
police training will direct his gun at the victim before changing his mind. he. lies will remember here when you don't know why said the teacher delicto a. medical opinion on. what can be. ted's best. place to. he. said. you know. that. if you speak french.
12:40 am
this is a. busy signal to say that this. is that country called russia no one's ever known one has ever heard of a country never even heard about most.
12:41 am
how does that feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is what business model helps to run a prison now we just do or don't like it nobody oh visitation i don't know what comes anymore we don't have to serve them anymore it's called the directive that's what they want to do that as long as they don't give a damn if you do. there are actually paying us to put them back into. the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high. as the u.s. ambridge what she could is behind such success. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your
12:42 am
last. year at the top to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each but. then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc. they promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with this one quite different speech as there were no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its make. such.
12:43 am
a mad mad mad. on this video students are taught how to react in extremely violent situations. and question the question. shoot ship policeman will follow this kind of training for two weeks just before starting to tatchell in the city. the coach yelling on the videos it's him david wright a former policeman converted to combat sports he has trained every policeman in
12:44 am
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 them to win and you know it's just sort of like a coach on the sidelines yelling and screaming at at there or their players to get moving at that point in the academy as joey to get them going is to bring 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 thirty six pitch
12:45 am
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 there it takes human beings to be a police officer and there are some human 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 assumed anybody you encounter could be a threat. it's a recipe for disaster. it's
12:46 am
a recipe for disaster i think we've got enough incidents that particular based on some video footage like this one of the things that maybe needs to happen is to create a liability for 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 the resolving conflicts without violence. and the most important training is the control of firearms. policemen a change in school but not only it is the only subject continuously throughout their careers.
12:47 am
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. think of yes yes i hear yes but i. mean look at this group do you think that those detractors that. despite the laughs the training is very serious. fire. last year in the u.s. 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
12:48 am
same way like our magazines are the same spot so we don't have to walk 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 said no no no i don't know but i but you probably could do pretty good because you're so used to having it 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 what i've been having to think and it just becomes like a natural type of thing for you to do so take a rest things exactly they're able to respond like that. in addition to the shooting range police officers train with this simulator just to tell you my adrenaline is is pumping right now so i'm a little. to the situations moves frequently met a policeman a train with toy guns. you have just arrived at a 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.
12:49 am
your career go for. the reaction is instantaneous the police via six bullets with such mindsets the slightest mistake can be fatal right there what he had put a good rating in a sense in this day away 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 policeman know. it's better to be tried by twelve than carried by six that basically we would 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
12:50 am
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 fools to provide that states. some n.g.o.s make statements listing the victims case by case the figure is a frightening. we've been able to find one thousand one hundred seventy five people in total were killed by the police it's what it works and off this amounts two hundred victims that were not home and among them the most affected offer americans they represent only thirteen percent of the population but compose fifty percent of the unarmed ficta. she was shot by the police every week today this statement
12:51 am
scares america. in pittsburgh a victim testifies. the survivor who almost died from bullet wounds. his name is ian ford. a dog. he is only twenty two years old. he gave us an appointment on his childhood basketball ground. as awful lot was there in the. us. today leo cannot play he cannot even walk.
12:52 am
his life was turned upside down after roadside spot check. everything. is go back to the moment. 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 controlled. finale i gave my driver's license my registration my car story it's a damn right master mason but they ran a name l. for. when the police typed l thought the search result. displayed the warrant of arrest of lemon. lemon ford is black he is the same age as lee and is wanted for
12:53 am
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. was knew there was downstairs on i've tried everything i could possibly. being able to use they were very aggressive they never asks me to get out the door . they. told me. or even food is afraid and he refuses to get out of the car and 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
12:54 am
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. scream the words the worst because 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 again but they said nice cars. on the cover. say with a little eyes but a tire will come with oh so that is i scored. as one of those. police officers of course has power. and. that is power and
