I have been watching a ton of those channels lately. It’s interesting to see how things go down in the real world without a bunch of annoying editing and interruptions.
There are of course many cases where the cops give somebody a hundred chances to stand down or comply with orders or whatever. But there is probably also a strong bias in choosing the clips. These channels seem to heavily lean towards “criminal’s day went from bad to worse” or the opposite towards “idiot cop tries to arrest innocent person / does not know the law.”
Most major police forces in the US release footage of officer involved shootings. I think predominantly they show the police using lethal force appropriately. There are some occasions where they clearly don’t, or where you wonder how it got to the situation where the cops were put in a position to have to defend themselves from somebody that the system could have helped.
