Part of this channel’s purpose is to show the realities of U.S. law enforcement. We present calls that are not covered elsewhere and we present them in their entirety, preferring reality to hyperbole and pursuing the truth, whatever it shows.
If your knowledge of law enforcement was solely derived from the news you would be surprised to find police officers doing things that don’t involve shooting or tasing people. “If it bleeds, it leads” works great for selling the news, but its consequence is a fundamental disconnect between the popular impression of reality and reality itself.
According to a recent Pew Research Center national survey, many Americans believe that it is common for police officers to fire their guns. Roughly three-in-ten adults estimate that police officers fire their weapons “a few times a year while on duty,” and more than eight-in-ten — 83% — estimate that the typical police officer has fired their service weapon at least once in their career, in the field (outside of training or on a range).
In fact, an overwhelming majority of police officers have never fired their gun while on duty. A 2016 Pew Research Center survey found that only 27% of all officers say they have ever fired their service weapon while on the job. That survey was conducted among a nationally representative sample of nearly 8,000 sworn officers working in 54 police and sheriff’s departments with 100 or more officers.
Bringing the conversation away from shootings and toward the more mundane, State troopers tend to have a reputation for writing tickets, making arrests, and giving relatively few warnings. Watch as one New Mexico Department of Public Safety trooper bucks the trend, in this sub-two-minute traffic stop.
This is not unusual. You just don’t see it.

Was driving around one time with family and we left a parkinglot and got on a road and didn't realize we didn't have the lights on, and a cop pulled up next to us at the stop light and was just shining his maglight at us trying to get us to realise our lights were off. We we all so confused as to why he seemed to be so vigorous with his light flashing 😂 and that's when it hit us.
Sometimes I forget because it's darkout but the streetlights light things up enough that I don't even notice my lights aren't on. As soon as I get out of town I suddenly realise I can't see jack shit lmao
Why y’all out black man in the title ?
Must have been the end of his shift
I’m starting to notice something about your titles…
Why did you choose to mention the driver's race?
Does he want a cookie
What’s annoying too is when people with older cars will drive with their headlights off at night like how can you not notice your headlights aren’t on?
why does the driver's race matter?? why is this in the title?
He got away with them kilos good shit
That left and right turn signal when he was leaving the shoulder back into the right lane that boi DEFINITELY was riding dirty 😂😂😂
Hey look, its one of those "good cops" doing something for public safety instead of tax collecting.
I ran a red clear as day,cop pulled me over,came up to my window told me not to let that happen again and that was it.We both went our ways.I for sure thought i was gonna get a ticket.This happens more often than you think.
Had someone with a black suv driving in fog at 2 am without any lights on, going 45 in a 60.
Plot twist: he was drunk as shit
LOL….50 keys in the trunk…got him ..,🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺
In Alabama the driver wouldve faced a life sentence
It wasn’t necessary to point out that he’s black you wouldn’t say “ white man gets pulled over for taillights being offâ€
Oh man this cops a racist for stopping a black man 🥴
That guy legit had 1 tonne of coke in the trunk.
Refreshing
But… but police officers lie and… and they kill people without reason! The officer was supposed to falsely arrest the guy, plant drugs and shoot him if all the ten second social media clips are true. Are you saying… context is important and… police actually do their jobs to… keep people safe?
Those people were breaking the Law one way or another (usually lots of drugs or warrants). Why did he let them go?
You mean the PD can be respectable. According to many LEO only kills and batters not help.
Haha! How 99.9999999% of interactions go. Thanks a lot mainstream media; you can have your ratings, I’ll keep my integrity.
