In this video, some training was certainly provided, and I donвЂ™t take issue with that, the rest however is NOT sanctioned training, but nonetheless holds merit in itвЂ™s persuasive value over the end-user, the author of the video. We use the school training as a framework, but we fill in the gaps with the rest that we pick up by those that hold more influence over us. Some of that is вЂofficialвЂ™ training вЂ“ school training in any form, much of the rest is conversational persuasion provided by our co-workers, acquaintances, strangers and family members, et al. At the same time, while he mentions the training, he also mistakes his on-the-job conversations as training вЂ“ but that is not official doctrine. In a nutshell, and for me, the video presented some valid points, but was skewed and biased based on the posters personal preferences and perhaps his experiences. WeвЂ™ve done this numerous times, and while we donвЂ™t always agree with each other on things that involve the actions of the Police, specifically in the U.S., we respect each other enough to allow for each otherвЂ™s viewpoints. This was yet another aspect that we could discuss and perhaps enlighten each other as well as our group on. My feeling was that as teacher and student, we were at odds with the topic of policing, the principles, and the outcomes that we have been speaking to for the last few years.

With all of that, I found value in the points made, for either a yay or nay point of view, and mentioned to Avi that this would be a great discussion that we could engage in and share with our Kapap family. It felt a lot like propaganda, and the poster seems to be reading from a script much of the time. While watching and listening, I found it disturbing вЂ“ not just what was being said and how, but because of the numerous and obvious edit points, and seeming underlying script that it was вЂdesignedвЂ™ for.

I support Law Enforcement, and the title alone set my gears in motion. ItвЂ™s hard for me to watch something that triggers me because of the underlying bias or skewed aspect that I perceived, real or not, and then to try to sort it out in a few minutes. The original poster stated that heвЂ™d been a Police officer for 10 years (unverified).ДЄfter watching the video cursorily, my initial response was measured, and also incomplete. The video discussed some specific aspects of training used in Police academies and to police recruits. A few weeks ago I watched a YouTube video ( How Law Enforcement Taught Me to Dehumanize) that was shared by Sensei Avi Nardia.
