tv Redacted Tonight RT June 15, 2020 7:30pm-8:01pm EDT
7:30 pm
the war on the american people but the joke's on them the police in this country have been to war with the american people for jetter a shed. we're more than you thought you could and then. there's the loser. right now to go through 16 facts about american policing that will change everything you think you know and 80 percent of the stuff you never thought you knew beat at other shows number one the american police system originated from slave patrols in the early days of this country the slave patrols turned the streets of towns into surveillance routes for what was a croissant military force so from its earliest days the american model was not some wonderful holier than thou system it was a racist tactic to protect the higher class from the downtrodden and oppressed.
7:31 pm
the hiring process for those patrols went like this question one are you white good question 2 are you not very bright and therefore don't have an important job like scientist or doctor that might get in the way of your beating black people time good 3rd and final question do you have a gun good you're now an officer of the peace. so basically the hiring process has not changed except now the gun is provided to you but don't worry it's not just racial anymore nowadays all of the working class are the oppressed professor alex vitale the author of the end of policing writes the reality is that the police exists primarily as a system for managing and even producing inequality by suppressing social movement and tightly managing the behaviors of poor and non white people factor number 2 our police killed roughly a 1000 americans
7:32 pm
a year which is roughly of 1000 more people than some other countries kill per year in $26.00 say in the guardian found that american police murdered $1093.00 people to put that in perspective in britain the average per year is 3 or 4 murders by police not 3 or $400.00. 3 or 4 this means american police generally kill more citizens in a week than the u.k. will kill in a year in 2018 denmark and switzerland's police killed no 10 what. they need to get their game face on they literally let everyone just to live. you had a few people live on a whim and then before i had know it they're everywhere living people that is your lousy with them and you charge and like what's with this people in face stage in
7:33 pm
you have been you've been letting them live have you what the hell am i paying you for that can turn in your badge and your swiss army knife if you are going to murder unarmed civilians with your little corkscrew and tiny tweezers then i'll find an officer who is. fact number 3 between 252019 only 35 officers have been convicted of any crime after having taken someone's life not just convicted of murder but convicted of anything but it gets worse and b.b.c. reports only 3 officers have been convicted of the higher crime of murder between 125-2019 seen their convictions stand that's a rate of conviction of point 00 to one percent this means police can murder 4660 americans and may be one
7:34 pm
cop will get caught for it police get away with more murders and le bron james gets away with dunks it's insane i would say there's essentially no ramification for police who kill people but. i'm sure they feel really really torn up about it i mean i don't know about you but when i was down at the protests and the phalanx of militarized steroids nolle rhino punk storm troopers carefully fired a burning chemical agent into my face i could see in their eyes. they felt regret. that so honestly that punishment enough don't you think let's just leave them with their sadness. moving on to who exactly are police are murdering all day long factor number 4 they're generally not killing hardened criminals treatment advocacy center finds that one out of every 4 people killed by us police was severely
7:35 pm
mentally ill if you add in just mentally unstable the number is probably well over 50 percent so that means our police are running around murdering people who are really screwed up in the head thank goodness we had the cops to do that or we'd have to get real estate agents to do it or librarians or something now let's take a moment to disabuse ourselves of the liberal fantasy of police in fact number 5 the vast majority of what police do in america is not run around catching evil doers like on c.s.i. or law and order die hard or starsky and hutch or all other t.v. shows and movies ever made ever with the exception of toy story. oh it wasn't tom hanks' character sheriff nevermind then toy story 2. toys story 2 i mean toy story also but also toy story 2 professor vitaly writes that most cops average
7:36 pm
less than one felony arrest per year meaning almost the entirety of a police officer's day to day consists of standing around and occasionally dealing with small or nothing crimes these crimes such as loitering or causing a disturbance or they're designed to simply put people in the system and of course people of color are far more likely to be arrested for these things once in the system the sentence can be much more serious for a future crime of loitering or the atrocity of playing loud music or the scandal of stealing a beer and not just stealing a beer for anyone but stealing a beer for a starving blind orphan child who needs a beer more than that kid how dare you arrest him for that so if that's the normal policing what about those awesome detectives we see in all the t.v. shows right the higher level cops are the ones who are loose cannons but always get
7:37 pm
the job done even if day after crack a few eggs to make an omelet and even when they might be wild they raised just an alcoholic yet somehow love a ball but they don't play the politically correct games like no grabbing a woman to signify get me another coffee. what about those guys fact number 6 in real life even detectives who make up only 15 percent of police forces spend most of their time taking reports of crimes they will never solve and in many cases will never even investigate basically rather than working harder to solve larger crimes our lawmakers have created hundreds of smaller crimes for police and they'll citizens for it's like talking to a stabbing victim and saying sure i understand you've been stabbed but there are at least 100 people in town who have recently gotten splinters we're going to focus on
7:38 pm
solving those crimes i mean what are splinters if not teeny tiny stabbings. fact number 7 in the past 2 decades there has been a surge of bans on things like sleeping in public begging for money giving away free food camping in public sleeping in one's car laws like these only serve to make homelessness and helping the homeless the legal and allow police to insert themselves in people's day to day even just to open their lives basically because people begging for a dollar they really do have it too easy it's time we break that up and we never take crimes off the books right never is any crime taken off the books so we've we've just made we just made more and more of like illegal for the past 200 years nowadays you can't take a pass or take a dump in an alley because it's a sex crime you can't walk around because if people find you creepy you're creating
7:39 pm
a disturbance you can't sleep in public because that's considered camping and you can't be awake and public either because that loitering basically the only way to be legal is to hide in your house or apartment and the only way to afford a house or apartment is to get a job you hate serving donuts then bam whips on their way to the wax museum and you thereby become a slave to the system public space is not for the public public space is for people walking to a store to buy a workout outfit that they can then wear when they aren't working out so that people think they work out that is it that is all and anything else done in public is an arrestable offense. thanks to these new laws faxed them race a study in new york city found that over half of those who cycle regularly through the prison system were homeless these meaningless so called crimes served to simply
7:40 pm
enforce the class structure fact number 9 these 2 largest crimes in the nation and the world are often illegal and even when they aren't they have nothing to do with your average police corporate executives endlessly decide to dump toxins in our water or keep baby powder on the shelves when they know it contains a spastic or push opioids on troubled americans even as the bodies pile up generally in such cases no one will go to prison no one will do a perp walk with their handcuffs on you would think cops would love cases like those because they they they they nabbed one c.e.o. and they've solved $10000.00 murders it's incredible grab one member of the sackler family and you've solved the hundreds of thousands of opioid killings but no. not the concern of law enforcement because that goes against the class hierarchy the rich rule over the rest of us and the police protect the risk as michelle alexander
7:41 pm
author of the new jim crow has put it we need an effective system of crime prevention and control in our communities but that is not what the current system is this system is better designed to create crime and a perpetual class of people labeled criminals so what's the effect on adding thousands of laws to the books you end up with a load of arrests and now fact number 10 the us has the largest prison population globally that's right we are the largest prison state in the world fact number 11 police in some regards commit more crime than average citizens police down seized more from citizens via civil asset forfeiture than the amount of property stolen by street criminals in burglaries if only we had some sort of law enforcement agents who could arrive. the police. ok so police are not
7:42 pm
protecting the citizens who are they protecting well it's really more what are they protecting fact number 12 they're protecting the class hierarchy they're protecting the private property of the rich and the corporate state they're protecting corporate greed they're protecting bring corruption they're protecting wealth extraction they are protecting the oligarchy sometimes they even literally protect inanimate objects against unarmed citizens for example at standing rock so law enforcement were steadfastly guarding a pipeline against the people who actually owns the land through which it stabbed and drank the water it would ultimately contaminate police are not doing the job most people think they are and they act like military patrols on the streets of the . and of the 3 which we can all now agree is false advertising it's like the french tickler you plunk down your $0.75 in the condom machine and then you find out it's
7:43 pm
not french it doesn't tickle and she was not on the ride of her life and the glory hall has no glory a little bit. on the fact number 13 police academy spend on average 110 hours on firearms and self-defense yet only 8 hours on conflict management a deescalation this means generally speaking police spend 12 times as many our words learning how to shoot and kill people and learning how to avoid and shoot a good kalak people considering how things are going deescalation should be like could 90 percent of their classes it should just be instructors yelling at training to stab one puts your gun away step 2 if you must pull out your gun put your gun away step 3 you're an idiot put your gun away you're not even smart enough to aim at the right thing much less hit the wrong thing you are aimed at stab for if you
7:44 pm
fear for your life while facing down a 76 year old man in pajama pants wielding a pitching wedge then you're pathetic and you should put the gotta lie. fact number 14 police are not well trained at all in most states goddamn barbers are required to get more training than police officers even c.n.n. reported the minimum training requirement for michigan police officers is 594 hours to work with electrical signs you'll need for a 1000 hours of experience this might explain why electrical sign workers are not accidentally killing a lot of black people. not a lot of news headlines reading neon sign saying hot girls murders a mother of 3. fact number 15 most police officers are not right some cities don't even want the smart cops in fact
7:45 pm
a court back in 2000 of held the right of police departments to avoid hiring intelligence officers yes most cops are cerebrum incapacitated oh which is not a word but they don't know that they don't know that because they aren't smart and they're proud of it because they think it's a good thing that number 16 some departments literally don't want officers who give a shit about you former police philadelphia police captain ray lewis has said police departments don't want to hire officers who perform well on empathy tests and pro police website officer dot com has published articles saying empathy is dangerous for policing i'm not saying cops don't care about you i'm saying in some cities they're hired because they don't care about you that certainly sounds like the opposite of what you want for a job opening that includes the phrase gun included to sum it all up here are
7:46 pm
policing system is a draconian military style orwellian storm used to consolidate an entrenched class hierarchy we need a completely new and different and smaller and less violent model and we need it started 400 years ago company overwatch the d.c. the belly the bases the redacted tonight we'll be right back with a lot more. lead .
7:47 pm
we go to work. straight home. we don't leave you see the rise of a new secular religion and it's called. the moment in a short history it's going to stoop and racism well everything is now considered racist the believers in this culture middle deviancy sultry this isn't really never change how racism has to be eradicated or how it helps serve the interests of the
7:48 pm
people oh. welcome back to spite all my efforts i am still the camp during these recent demonstrations peaceful protesters met with a curious new phenomenon and identified police wearing no badges nor department insignia for more on this we go to our senior person on the police beating beat naomi care of ami in front of the white house naomi what's going on highly see out here in the streets of d.c. everyone's invited to the party the f.b.i. the border patrol the park police the military police homeland security the dea a the a.t.f. the u.s. marshals the metropolitan police the capitol police the secret service the federal protective service d.c. national guard the postal police rent a cops and my personal favorite the mystery of police if you're not in riot gear on capitol hill right now can you really call yourself a federal agent missing all those group photos the feds foam oh must be devastating
7:49 pm
that looks like a completely unnecessary show of force c 3 d.c. . it is not a state it's technically a joke the military or federal officers from any agency can be called to subdue this federal territory and there's no shortage of them there are about $130000.00 civilian law enforcement officers employed by the federal government only about half of which come from the major brand names like f.b.i. a.t.f. have good service da and c.b.p. so when people talk about defunding the police which police are they talking about they got a beef the so so so as for the own more of the cops it's not illegal to cover a beta but i do than gently what about name tags what name tags what about that they believe there's nothing identifying them now saying they're lying
7:50 pm
stormtroopers did he hand written name tags on the stormtroopers like hi my name is dorothy with your name. for a point so how do we know unmarked officers or even officers and not just because playing a white supremacist militias well we can't know that for sure there are so many obscure police departments like the police for the national gallery of art the museum that's home to the world's most famous artists rough drafts the museum has a shooting range for their cops tucked away in their basement really they have a mission to fatally wounded guy who's trying to steal picasso's head of a woman pastel something picasso never wanted anyone to see which we stole from the germans and stole it from the jews. wow you look as un amused as she does. well we're both really disappointed what about these anonymous police at the protests who are there are they secret service or no the secret service isn't even
7:51 pm
that secret if they were their vests wouldn't say secret not a secret anymore guys they can't be trusted with government information i wouldn't even tell them the deodorant i use which happens to be the brand secret can we get to the secret police who are still kind of a secret the on identified police who are avoiding any accountability at a protest about police photo a ok here they are unfortunately if they wanted to remain unidentified they could learn a mask now is the best time it's like fashion week for the suspicious so whether they tell me already right the secret police are from. you're not going to like this they're tactical teams from the texas bureau of prisons tactical teams for the taxes bureau of prisons ok i think the entire d.c. metro area knows now thankfully good i'm glad yeah i understand people are upset
7:52 pm
because prison riot cops don't usually have to deal with the 1st amendment they can use whatever force they want but this does stop oh makes local police look pretty good so d.c. is being treated like a prison in the open air prison but don't get so down on d.c. the n.y.p.d. has been covering up their badge numbers illegally with bans they say are a sign of warning for the new york police officers who passed during copa 19 and they still aren't wearing masks when an n.y.p.d. officer was asked about the band hiding his badge number the band is legal as long as it's not covering the number he shrugged and said it's old it fell down you see not all elastic is good there's some bad elastics i had that experience with some old broadly. when these police are on identified it seems clear they intend to brutalize protesters with no accountability and putting prison riot police out
7:53 pm
there is a even crazier ok so what are you saying we should defund the i.r.s. police defund the u.s. men police defund the bureau of engraving and printing police yet didn't follow the whole of the law yet defund that that you know meanies. so now it's time to talk about some of our other developing stories here with me is her dad correspondent natalie mcgill. doris' you got for us well yeah so there are states and cities across the country that are already trying to do some reforms following the protests over georgia and brianna taylor and countless other names and yeah exactly so in new york state for example they're actually going to make police disciplinary records public which is reversing a decades old law that frankly never should have been on the books it's kind of the equivalent of like a teacher helping a student hide their bad report card for you. if you're like
7:54 pm
a dumb kid and you steal something from a store that's on your record forever you get cough can like kill a dude and it's not and that's the way i see it yeah also in new york lawmakers are planning to make it illegal to call 911 on a black person for a dumb reason well pretty much existing but latest examples have been like selling water asking somebody to lease their dog in central park. and i said well i agree that people should be doing that in that like just admitting allusive we have really dumb racist cops that may show up and may kill someone so we're going to make it illegal for you to call us. out of our mind. as you should call us and then that also dovetails into the the juggernaut which is minneapolis city council is planning on totally defending police and what that looks like right now you know is kind of up in the air but you know right after the city council voted on this it can't be vetoed by mayor jacob frye. told you who are
7:55 pm
you going to lose against yeah it was totally lamented him booed like for being against it and this is like the 1st time that a force as large as minneapolis is being dismantled but it has happened in the past in other cities like you. i think one of the examples that people keep pointing out to this camp in camden new jersey like they actually dismantled their police department in 2012 because it was so corrupt it was like. and how they go and the crime actually ended up dropping over 7 years by 42 percent now it didn't go as far as what people really want as much as we allocating the money to the resources so that when somebody is having like a mental health crisis you don't send somebody with a gun he said fair. it's a good plan he said somebody with a guy who's like a son there's a man with a gun it was like obey my commands precisely or i will kill you and they're yelling that it's someone who's not yet they're not there. it makes no sense so yes i am
7:56 pm
very excited about minneapolis i hope it goes through but i think you're right it depends on let's see how this actually goes about i feel like the police force could just keep trucking along like some sort of demon robot where you're like i already took the batteries out i don't understand. and you know with solar power and. now we thank you so much thank you. and here are your headlines from the future on monday in the new york times you'll read a police officer convicted of murder away for mine that was something else and on tuesday you'll learn sidewalk a message of peace love 1 and solidarity clearly written in blood. well good intentions and finally a week from now. suddenly won't police departments nationwide agree to kill unarmed
7:57 pm

7:58 pm
some control from middle. of the night most of them are very hardworking people who want to get ahead that have either have some some health issues or have some of them had a stroke of bad luck a full time job is pay for a place to live and missing just a month's rent can get you a victim to gunpoint if anything bad happens to any thing that just throws your budget off slightly. better catch up real quick or you're going to have a judgment of possession i guess you would get a ticket anyone that's homeless is treated like garbage people look at you like a monster or someone bad or you chose to be there most of the time it's not the case see how it is. to be pawns in the world's richest country.
7:59 pm
to take away then from this. where it's a $2000000000.00 negative net worth company worth $400000000.00 and they're issuing an initial bankruptcy offering fresh deal of stock the take away the news the information the fact is it has nothing to do with the current company it what it says is that the dollar is collapsing the dollar has entered a high burns collapse and this causes people to run into things like fictitious stock markets as we've seen in zimbabwe as we see it in venezuela this is what's happening in the united states right now as of today. join me everything on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.
