2. Saw that movie 🎥. Bad azz. Right on point. This is policing America. This was when their were no video cameras.

3. When a cop says stop resisting you better cover up because. You’re about to get a cheap shot to the face

4. But The Wire and Cop Land are both told through the eyes of police. Both tell a story of corruption and incompetence. The material difference is one fixates on more organized corruption.

5. Today I did a YouTube video about the psychological evaluation test that officers have to take. I got this information directly from a clinical psychologist Tested police officers before they got their badge check it out on Papa Joey News

6. As soon as I saw they started calling the police unió an association, and fire department, emt, and police essential services, and all heroes and the media propagated the notion they are heroes and the rest of us just peons, well that started in the late 80s and now they are all above the law and most of them feel like they deserve more than the rest of the population, it's entitlement

7. The movie is irrelevant, last year the USA saw more than forty thousand deaths on it roads, fifteen thousand shot dead seventy thousand injured by firearms and I have not even included non firearm murders. You are a place that is out of its collective mind, your thinking so low order it is simply staggering. Yes Cops are pricks, but so are the majority of your revolting conceited population, you are like animals.

8. tell me you havent actually watched the wire without telling me

9. The bad cops of bad cops child molesters safe haven Canon city, Florence Salida Colorado

10. say it right taya blue gang not brotherhood

11. 🤣🤣🤣 “I’m use to being inside.”🤣🤣🤣 —I gave you a chance AND YOU BLEWWW IT ! ! !

12. Can't agree,many shows show police officers doing wrong. Look at Law and Order they show corruption from cops to DA's and they have been running around twenty years,many movies throughout the years also show police corruption.

13. Nice work

14. Taya….your so sexy and beautiful!

15. A few other notably great movies that display corruption within the police force

    -Serpico (1973)
    -Bad Lieutenant (1992)
    -Training Day (2001)
    -Filth (2013)

16. You want to drink and drive and get away with it, become a cop.

17. I had such a crush on Janeane Garofalo back in the day.

18. Unlawful Entry.

19. Serpico. Cops shot him in the face for standing up.

20. Copland is up there on my list, but Bring it on Is my favorite film. Staring Kurstin Dunst and Eliza Dushku..

21. I have a soft spot for "Serpico" myself but "Copland" IS a good film.

22. Haha the good cop lost because he fought by himself I'm sure….

23. great review for a great show ! love the western final of Copland too !

24. I watched Serpico as a ten year old. It opened my eyes to what cops are really like. Copland is my favourite Stallone movie.

25. When they mentioned the scene were they planted the gun on those men it instantly made me think of the episode of audit the audit that focused on a corrupt police officer who planted a bag of drugs on an innocent woman during a traffic stop https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LK2uUMMCGLM. Thankfully in this instance that officer was fired and charged with that offence but sadly that really is the exception rather than the rule and its scary that such conduct still is so prevalent within law enforcement today.

26. Okay PAR family this is a rundown of the crimes I caught in the movie Copland! I give time codes but if you don’t want to spoiler the ending you might not want to read all the way through. I hope you will enjoy watching this movie as much as I did and if you catch any crimes I missed feel free to let me know! And I appreciate your suggestions for other police movies for me to review I can’t wait to watch them all!

    Sheriff Freddie Heflin (Sylvester Stallone’s character)runs out of quarters in the bar playing pinball and breaks into a parking meter. Misconduct in office, theft, vandalism, destruction of public property, and conduct unbecoming of a police officer,

    11:29 A gun is planted. Murray “Superboy” Babitch, Uncle Ray, Police Union Officer and Ray’s Crony Jackie Rucker commit a criminal conspiracy to plant evidence, cover up a crime and obstruct justice.
    12:10 Superboy “He says they will take my f—ing shield away from me!” Not a crime but an admission of guilt and lack of remorse for the deaths he caused instead he worries only for the potential loss of his job and authority.
    12:20 Ray’s Crony Jackie Rucker threatens the emt with a gun – first-degree assault
    12:34 Ray Crony Jackie Rucker punches the EMT after he tosses the planted gun Second Count of First Degree Assault and simple assault.

    18:27 Freddy sees “Superboy” Babitch in the back of the car contradicting the official police statement that the Superboy jumped to his death
    2120 Ray calls IA Noe Tilden”F-ing rat” letting us know that police accountability is not respected and valued by fellow officers. (Not a crime but a signifier of the negative aspects of police culture where the blue wall of silence comes from and why even “good” officers will not report crimes made by “bad apple” officers.
    23:23 “We got some loose end” cops conspiring like gangsters to commit murder to prevent their crimes from being revealed. Conspiracy.
    27:02 Racial Profiling by local Sheriff's Deputies
    28:35 Copaganda fed to the press by the Police Union who know that Superboy was guilty and still alive yet they are playing on the sympathies of the public and asserting they are the persecuted by the criminal justice system. Misconduct in office.
    30:30 Explanation of Why Freddy cannot be a cop
    31:25 They discuss (Officer Figgis aka Figgsy) Figgsy’s crimes, missing evidence, graft, drug use, and he says “is anyone getting by without gravy?!” And no comment….What if he has said to everyone “Hey aren’t you all stealing don’t we all need to steal? Wouldn’t that impact the scene and the way you perceive it differently, wouldn’t the gravity of their casual crimes be more profound” Figgis is guilty of intoxication on the job, driving under the influence, theft, mishandling of evidence, and bribery.
    32:20 First Degree Assault Figgsy hits Jackie in the face and then puts a dart up his nose?
    33:17 “You found us a sweet little town you got it for us low interest and I am grateful but don’t forget who it was that you came to two years ago to cover your ass” Here he is alluding to a criminal conspiracy to murder a witness and perhaps even deeper graft involving banks.Mob influence and bribery. Racketeering and conspiracy.
    33:40 “In for a penny for a penny in for a pound” referring to the depths they are willing to go to cover up for each other, not just a blue wall silence but proactive criminal behavior.
    34:00 Domestic Violence disturbance goes unreported
    36:00 The only truly heroic act of the movie was committed by someone who was a civilian, without police training or the protection of a police badge.
    37:00 ARSON and Manslaughter by G Figgis
    40:25 Exposition on the Death of Officer Tunney showing a hint of the officer’s role in his death in jail, he was killed to keep him quiet. Also, the heroism of SuperBoy is extolled again showing the Propaganda that the media falls prey to.
    41:00 Now this isn’t a crime but it shows the system of incentives for people who play ball and keep quiet about police misconduct. Ray introduces Freddie to the head the Patrolman’s Defense Association
    45:51 We buried a suit today that doesn’t bother you? “He jumped off the GWB…” We both know that Ray got him off that bridge alive…You pinned to be a cop… You may be law enforcement and so am I but you are not a cop. I may watch the cops…
    46:55 You watch cops too. Because we are law enforcement. WE must gather evidence because it helps us see the truth… If there is a stink we must investigate… We know that Ray got him off the bridge alive… What does Ray do now that is the $64,000 question… And I see you sheriff, a man waiting for something to do…And I got something to do… Sheriff Freddie withholds evidence from the IA dept.
    48:05 Conspiracy to commit murder“How many people are at this party. Here I am scrambling to clean up this thing for you…sooner or later Ray they have to find a body in that river or it will NOT hold!”
    54:50 3 cops actively conspiring to commit murder and then assaulting, attempted murder, accessory to murder, accomplice, Superboy Murray Babitch …Joey Randone comes across the murder attempt leading to Ray allowing him to die.
    56:54 Moe Tilden says “we were shut down by the Mayor”

    What you are feeling now Freddie…friendless, angry misunderstood…that’s the life” RACKETEERING
    1:00:30 Figgis reenacts the entire scene with a beer can and (LIFE LESSONS FROM COPLAND)
    1:01:56 Just want to point out that other than the family racially profiled at the beginning African Americans have been portrayed as dangerous and needing to be controlled by cops despite the crimes they commit to do so. Method Man being portrayed as a “super predator” “Don’t you want to go home?” he says to officer Randone, “Eat your baby froot loops and sh**”
    1:02;30 Ray Donlan commits A crime of omission, reckless endangerment, manslaughter, he creates an obstacle preventing his life from being saved. An officer has a different level of responsibility to save a life while on duty than a citizen does and his purposeful obstruction is to ensure that Joey Randone is unable to share what he knows about Superboy being alive and their attempted murder of him.
    Ray Donlan shows that he is a cold-blooded killer, and if he is willing to allow officers to die to protect his interests, what is he willing to do civilians?
    1:05:29 “Why get Superboy off the bridge and get him back here to kill him?”“Ray had a plan and it got very f### up” LIFE LESSON 1:05:29

    “He’s got friends…If Ray wants someone dead they are dead anywhere”
    !;07:49 Freddie confronts Ray in the bar- Superboy is convinced you are going to kill him..” Ray-He is a mixed up kid and so are you”
    There has got to be a way out of this for everyone”(Ray is Gaslighting Freddy, not a crime but problematic!)
    1:08:20 Ray gives ultimate Copaganda speech portraying themselves as persecuted heroes “cop is the perp and perp is the victim”

    1:10:45 Freddy “his uncle tried to kill him, he's running like a scared rabbit.” Detective Carlson says He should be scared his uncle got this case closed with one phone call”
    1:13:40 “The mob runs millions in drugs through their precinct and everyone gets a nice house”
    1:20:05 “Ray gave you this job Freddy he made your sorry ass…” Terroristic threats, battery, cocks gun at him…”you are gonna be hurtin’ Freddy mark my words…”
    1:23:09 Confession to ARSON and manslaughter that goes unreported
    “Look all you want Freddy you are not going to find anything”…”That lady cop from the bomb squad got you what you needed…”
    1:24:20 “BEING RIGHT IS NOT A BULLETPROOF VEST” LIFE LESSONS!!!
    1:28:20 Kidnapping, attempted murder, assault, aggravated assault, obstruction of justice, reckless driving, speeding, reckless endangerment,
    1:30:18 4 counts of attempted murder, reckless endangerment, misconduct in office, conspiracy to commit misconduct, conspiracy to commit murder. And Maim and malice to Freddie's ear being deafened!and Mayhem! Misconduct in the office!
    Destruction of property
    WOW! This is a lot and I still feel like I missed something! -taya 🙂

27. Asset forfeiture !,,,,,,! Free money 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 do a story on this .. $120,000,000.00b is not enough they say 🙈🙈🙈

28. Great movie, indeed. All-Star cast and one of the main characters is actually former NYPD.

29. Copland is excellent

30. Steven is Bruce Altman's doppelganger, the actor playing Counselor Burt Kandal in Cop Land.

31. I saw Copland, first run in the picture house! Great movie, Stallone's best movie.

32. The increases in homicides are a direct result of increased police spending and unchecked judicial protection of police. Police have coopted the insignia of the vigilante comic book character "the punisher" with their sovereign citizen blue line flag. Because cops are going out and murdering people while in plain clothes vigilante style and their fellow gang members then come in to control the investigation and make sure that someone else takes the punishment. It's win win for the cops, they get to rob and murder for drug money and/or guns, then turn around and use the murders to justify increasing police spending.

33. I've been denied making a report on property damage. Stalking and a stolen vehicle . No where to go

34. I was watching the Rookie for a few seasons because of a scene with Jackson West and his bad partner but after they killed him off it’s seems downhill to me.

35. Real News Network, thanks for all you do, Maya is so attractive (🍾💕) Steven is so good at what he does I love the show.
    Maya is the apple of my eye.
    God bless guys.
    🍡🍾🎉🎊 Happy New Year 🎉🎊🍾🍡

36. When this film came out it did not get enough attention for me to watch it in the theaters but a year later I decided to rent it and took home a VHS copy and was actually surprised at how good it was. Before this I had not heard any impressive reviews and perhaps because if it's mostly male yet IMPRESSIVE star quality cast there was little interest in this as anything notable and it was already being forgotten. Even today, there are few people who even know or remember this film. I'm glad that you share the same feelings about this movie that I do and was the first time I'd seen Hollywood showing cops portrayed as they really are and pretty much doing exactly what I always suspected. Let's face it. It doesn't take long for us to realize that life and reality isn't sunshine and lolipops and of course this is going to be a corrupt operation and what part of society is going to take advantage of criminality THE MOST and be able to get away with it. I'm glad you end the review where you did because it has an excellent ending too.

    One thing I found interesting is that there are some VERY talented actors in this film and yet in the opening credits we see that Stallone is star and headliner but even as the film moves along his character is not very interesting at all. In fact, he's kinda a dumb-dumb. However I think this is Stallone's BEST film after ROCKY and one of the only times I've ever seen him actually play somebody. Someone who's JUST dumb enough to have this job. Also, due to a childhood accident which becomes important in this story can only hear out of one ear.

    If you are someone who enjoys acting as a 'craft' you might appreciate the scene work and it's directing by James Mangold. I also remembered the 'JAG' scene and found all the Layota/Stallone stuff the most enjoyable to watch. COPOGANDA … lol. Yep. Cheers.

37. The German people lost WW2, The NAZIs and communists won and spread their sick deviant tyranny across the globe.

38. Next time you do this, can you do police academy 4????
