I really like the Cop Watch documentary video despite having a little trouble seeing some scenes in the video shot during the night. I believe the video and its creators have a valid argument to get across to the audience, and I think they did a nice job conveying their message. People really need to know that there are police officers that think they are above the law and that they can do anything on the job even if it’s cruel. People need to know that there is police brutality and there are police officers that are racist and will take advantage of their power through racist actions. I know some people might think that the people making the video are rude and disrespectful to police officers in general because they think the video addresses all cops. However, I don’t think that’s the case in this video. Everyone knows there are good cops out there and most cops are good. But, the video is just trying to explain to the audience that there are a few bad cops out there and you should be aware. You should be aware of your rights as a citizen and not let bad cops take advantage of you. Also, it’s a fact that people can observe cops during their act of duty as long as you don’t get in the way of the cops job so following the officers in the video was not against the law in any way.
