What a load of crap.
Edited video can easily be detected.
Only the most untech savvy person buys that pig lie.[/quote]
The average person watching stuff on YT won't notice, and edited doesn't necessarily mean altered. Not showing the start of an incident is editing. Did you read what I said about the Rodney King video? What we all saw was edited. It was far from complete, and caused public opinion to be very mistaken, and lead to some seriously bad results, lots of crime, property damage, injuries, and even death. All over edited video. But, hey, call that a "load of crap" if you like, since those people's lives and property aren't important enough.

And time and again we hear about dashcam and lapel cam footage mysteriously disappearing or damaged, or whatever lie they can come up with.[/quote]
So, you have a double standard. The police video can't possibly malfunction, and it's always altered to suit their story, but all of the video from non-cops is always 100% perfect. What a crock.

Even when it's obvious that the entire pig narrative is complete bull#, they break out the "video doesn't tell the whole story" nonsense.
You are proving my point. Your response is a classic example of how people assume only the worst about the police, and only the best about some unknown video maker. It's biased. It's definitely nonsense. Thinking people know better.

No, you frigging liar, YOU are the one not telling the whole story.
Stop lying.
Stop covering for bad cops.
Stop using the excuse of the public doesn't know police procedure.
What lies would those be, exactly? Calling names and tossing out labels doesn't make you right; it makes you a jerk without a clue. I didn't use any excuses, and I didn't lie for anything. What I did was state that video can be, and usually is, edited, and it's easy to make people believe all sorts of things. Do you think all the people you see in television shows and movies are real, and not actors playing roles??? The way you talk, you probably do.

We know it all to well.
And it's not the public who us wrong.
If your use of force ladder starts at the first wrung with intimidation, then next wrung hands on assualt and battery, third wrung death, you are the ones who don't understand your job.
You clearly don't know anything, and can't even manage basic reading comprehension. You assume things I didn't say, make false accusations, and throw a hissy fit because someone dared to disagree with your bias against police. Get over yourself.
Also, clueless one, I am not a cop, and never have been, so see what you know? Less than nothing. Crow up.

Most of what you say is not true. Even for the worst offenses, officers receive paid suspensions, in general.
In many cases, it is the police who have been filing inaccurate reports or who's dash cam footage is edited or broken. Police become more militarized and police not understanding the law has led to all the videos on Youtube. This is not a chicken or egg situation. This is a situation the police clearly brought upon themselves and sadly, upon officers who do a good job.
