The girls hand that was cut up like that HAD to be intentional. You're a trained officer and can't cut zip ties maybe you shouldn't have a loaded gun either like wtf

I'm a young white woman who has had my license for almost 6 years. I've got pulled over twice for speeding. In both those instances I was in the wrong, but still terrified. This man is doing nothing wrong and is getting pulled over more in one week than I have in six years. That is not okay.

All I wanna say is. It takes 4-6 *years* to become a lawyer. It takes 4-6 *months* to become a police officer. So 4-6 years to learn the law, but only 4-6 months to enforce it.

I was thirteen at the time, and was walking back home with my (black) friend, who I’ll call Alex. Im Native American/white and I look like it too. Alex and I were both raised to fear the police instead of respecting them. We were walking back from a BLM protest (ironic) when we got stopped by a police officer. He asked us what we were doing, and we said we were walking home. I had a backpack full of first aid supplies and snacks, along with signs. He “thought there were drugs in there” and demanded me to take off my bag so he could search it. He searched it, didn’t find anything, and demanded to do a full-body pat down. On two teenage girls. Alex refused, I told him to let us go because we weren’t doing anything. That’s when he drew his gun. Now, my dad was in the military for twenty years, and had trained me vigorously on gun safety (how to fire, how to clean, and how to defend yourself against someone with a gun). I did what you’re supposed to do if you get a gun pulled on you, which is to close the distance and do not, under any circumstance, let them pull that trigger. He was aiming it at Alex, and was yelling at both of us to get on the ground. I screamed at him to stop, screamed for help from anyone who could’ve heard. That’s when the gun went off. No amount of action movies prepared me for the absolute pain I felt. I was lucky enough for the bullet to have missed the bone and arteries, but it lodged into the flesh of my thigh. I went down, and he pointed the gun at Alex again. I was screaming for help and in pain, and he pointed it at me to get me to shut up. I was fully convinced I was going to die, so I yelled at him to go to hell. I cursed him out while I was bleeding profusely. I don’t remember what happened after that, but I was under the knife within the hour. They got the bullet out, stopped the bleeding, etc etc. My family sued, Alex’s family sued. Nothing. No dice. I, a child, have to use crutches and have severe PTSD. Because one man had a power trip. If anything, I’m happy that Alex didn’t get shot. I’d rather I get shot than her. It’s not as severe as some other stories, but that’s mine. Fuck the police.

Serious props to Anthony for not saying "the wondrous world" of police brutality out of habit.

When I was a child, my father was extremely abusive. He would use his belt like a whip and leave welts on my older brother. One night, my brother had enough and called the cops. Let me note, we're very white. When the cops showed up, the first thing they did was ask my brother what he'd done to deserve it. (he'd gotten suspended for fighting, classic sign of an abused child taking it out on someone else.) One of the cops pulled my brother aside and told him "If you *ever* call us for something like this again, I'll let your dad borrow *my* belt." And then they left. Children begging for help. No one cared.

I had a police officer arrest me for getting beaten by my dad. He said "you look like a bad person." "Just because you're a crying girl doesn't mean anything" "don't talk, your parents are speaking". I never was photographed with the bruises all over my body and he wouldn't let me have a voice or a choice. I was locked up. Then months later when I was released, my parents locked me out of the house where my belongings were so I called a sheriff, he arrived, and he said "I know what you've done. I don't want to hear anything from you." And he said to my parents that he understands them but unfortunately they have to let me in..

The victim blaming in the comment section is disgusting, shame on all of you for defending these officers actions.

Pulled over 3-4 times a week?! And shot 5 TIMES point blank range?! I’m a white Australian woman and I have been pulled over twice in my 10 years of having a license. If somebody was shot by a Copper at point blank range 5 times in australia they would absolutely loose their job and their would be a massive inquiry. I can’t comprehend how much American coppers use their guns! Someone is fired at about once, Yes ONCE PER YEAR and it’s a freaking big deal here. If you guys had better gun control I think that you’d also have less police violence. There’s approx 3mil guns in Aus VS 393mil In the US! Something has to change for you guys

If Officer Scissorhands over here can't even cut a ziptie without almost slicing people's hands off, maybe he shouldn't be trusted with a damn gun.

Anthony was so right when he said that "being shot" is so desensitized in the media...Like in every movie there will be people who are shot and then they'll go back to fighting the next day. Like it just makes "I was shot irl" sound so normal....That's just straight up awful

fact: your allowed to be under the influence in your own home.

“Racism isn’t getting worse, it’s getting filmed” - Will Smith

I really admire the background Leon chose for his interview.

To see Leon be able to smile and laugh after what happened to him is a testament to the human spirit and especially his spirit.... it’s so f**ked up that happened to him and ALL the others. May he blessed and protected throughout the rest of his days...much love..to ALL.

People will try to justify shooting someone by saying "they ran away."

Ok guys, he didn't say wondrous, everything is fine.

You can see how disgusted Anthony is when the dude was talking about how he was shot 5 times

Every person in America should see this video. They should play this in elementary, middle, and high schools. It's SO IMPORTANT.

I appreciate the Definition of “Defund the Police” because I’ve heard about it but I wasn’t Very sure what it really was. I now say: DEFUND THE POLICE.

Shot 5 times, hands sliced and 21 stitches, and a father being killed. God have mercy. People need to be held accountable for their actions. We all bleed the same. ♥️#Justice

i’m glad he changed it from “the wonderous world of _______” to “the unfortunate reality of _______” specifically for this video

I've been watching these videos for a while now, and I have so much respect for the way you conduct interviews and the fact that you aren't afraid to make videos like this one. Thank you for giving voice to real people who are going through things that we aren't "allowed" to talk about.

I love how all of the people got almost an equal amount of screen time. I feel like that's mainly because all of these stories need to be heard so that people can be educated. Anthony is such a good interviewer.

Crazy thing about the girl who's hand was cut is either the officer did it intentionally (most likely) or he was just plain unqualified. Both of those option shows he should not be having that position and a loaded gun.

I'm so proud of the girl with stitches. She went and protested against a horrible situation that wouldn't otherwise affect her and permanently got her hand messed up. She could've easily said "this doesn't have anything to do with me" and stayed home, but instead she went out to fight for others even with all the risk involved.

I like the way he didnt say ’the wonderess world of police brutality.’ also I’m so sorry for all the people they interviewed. People should deserve better rights. People should be able to trust and be able to rely on police instead of being scared and mortified. People are emotionally and physically scared by them that nobody can trust them anymore

I love how Anthony is just like so understanding and he like has an ability to make people comfortable talking bout this stuff like we need more people like him 💙

An officer paralyzed a man for speeding and then the officer gets promoted? Smh

Calling themselves "survivors" instead of "victims" is so empowering. Edit: rewriting this one more time- i means victimizing as in a verb for victims, i didn't understand the actual definition. i rewrote it w different words, instead of "i love how" it's "it's so empowering"

Thank you so much for doing this entire series. I have been watching all day. It has given me a lot of perspective on many important topics

“Yeah I pulled him over for running through a stop sign” “Oh so you gave him a ticket?” “No, I shot him 5 times” “Understandable have a nice day”

When I was 14 I was walking home from school with my best friend. I feel the need to mention that we are both white, but I sometimes get mistaken for Hispanic due to my tanner skin and curly hair. When we were just a few blocks from my house a squad car started following us very slowly. I made the decision to stop and see what the office wanted. When he approached us he told me that I matched the outfit description of a teenage runway. I was wearing blue jeans and a black sweater. I asked who had called it in just in case it was for me and this man seriously said “that’s classified”. He completely ignored my friend during this entire experience and kept asking for an ID even after I told him I was only 14 and didn’t have one. The whole experience felt super sketchy. 2 years later I had a seizure during a babysitting job. When the woman I work for called the ambulance a police office showed up and started yelling at her about what drugs I had taken. She calmly explained that I have epilepsy but he refused to listen and insisted that she must be my dealer. I know these experiences aren’t as extreme or as dangerous as the ones in the video, but I wanted to share to show how deeply engrained fear mongering, racism, and needlessly arresting people is in the police system.

Can you interview people in the military that have been sexually abused or wrongly treated and how they deserve justice! For Vanessa Guillen and Gregory Morales RIP

This is absolutely amazing. I cannot think of a better use of such a platform

Omg my heart breaks for these people. The girl with her father, finding out he died, she was 15. That’s MY age. I can’t imagine having to go through that. 😭 POC (especially Black people) get so much hate just for the color of their skin. Why can’t we just put down the guns, think for a second, and instead of hating people for their differences, embrace them and love them and celebrate these differences. (If you can’t love them, at least just be a decent human being, and don’t voice you’re hate towards anyone.)

I find it funny that officers use the excuse "I feel threatened" when they're the ones carrying a god damn weapon

The girl that said Karen’s treat the police like a customer service line in America is 100% accurate. If you call a copper in aus for something trivial you cop a fine.

Being born, raised and living outside of the US, it can be hard to fully grasp what led to the strong BLM and ACAB voices, as well as the riots that took place around the time of this video. I've known on paper what it was about, but hearing these individuals share their personal pain and disbelief has been a good window into understanding why the movement is as strong as it is. What they experienced is bad enough on its own, but having it happen at the hands of people who are supposed to be the 'good guys' with little to no consequences, that has to be the biggest insult society could throw at you. Thank you for the insight, and I hope that things are moving in the right direction

Not one of these grand people claimed to be a victim and avoided that term and that's just mind boggling to me and I give so much respect to them

Slaves didn’t want “power” they wanted equity and justice.

Even the police dogs in Germany have a longer training time than the officers in the USA

As someone in canada where stuff like this is rare. Hearing these stories and accounts really put things in perspective for me. So thank you

The exact thing happened toy father as well. Were a family of 7, most of us have already moved out doing our own thing, only one of my sisters and parents still live together. Theres been a lot of drama in my family between those three, he was drinking a lot and has caused some trauma for my sister. He was not allowed into the house essentially because my sister got a restraining order for him, they let him stay in a shed of sorts because they didnt want to leave him homeless after almost 30 years of living together and we still love him, he was there even if he wasnt present, he was a great guy when sober, a woodworker etc. So long story short, he got drunk one night and wanted to enter the house or something, my sister called the police on him. When they arrived they basically dragged him into the vehicle, my mother heard one of the officers telling 'be careful he's going to suffocate'. After few hours my mother got a call from them saying that he had died during the trip to the police station. It's alleged that their actions caused it, we didn't sue anyone, there was no bringing him back.

imagine having to explain to your child that a police officer shot you. I feel like that alone could give the child so many trust issues.

These are the lucky ones. Please educate. Don’t let anyone tell you racism and police brutality isn’t an issue.

I love how he made this Chanel to help inform the world about what is actually happening in the world and he lets these people tell their story’s to show us the truth

This series will never get old. Love you, Anthony!!

Anytime I see Elijah, my heart literally hurts. He played violin for kittens bruh. How do you kill someone like that?

That awkward monent when your job is to protect people from murderers but then you become one 😬

My uncle Bruce was beaten by officers behind a restaurant and was killed.

thank you anthony for shedding light on this!

What I can’t wrap my head around is if someone is sexually assaulted and kills the person committing the crime in self defence, they get years of prison, if a police officer shoots and kills a man who is on all fours with an assault rifle for not being able to get up without using his hands, it’s an accident?

We Hong Kongers understand you. We are all victims of extreme police brutality too. HK police actually rape female protesters and beat us until we have bone fractures all over our body. It's heartbreaking to see you guys have to go through the same thing. No one on Earth should be treated like this. It takes a lot of courage to stand up against police brutality. You guys have my respect.

yet again, anthony producing some of the most helpful videos out there on educating misunderstood topics

Man injustices like this makes an anger burn inside me that hard to describe

Can we talk about the cop who shot a guy while he was operating a vehicle? Like the car is moving and you decide to severely incapacitate the driver? They could’ve crashed into other cars, or a house, or any pedestrian! Reckless decision making at it’s finest!

We need to keep these conversations going. These are the things that make people become educated

4:22 the fact that they saw this young, unarmed women protesting and decided to arrest her brutally because she missed a curfew and shouted some stuff? All of this is so messed up

I did not expect u to fall from the ceiling in the beginning at all 🤣🤣 as always great editing 💯

The stories are so scary and absolutely terrible. No one should be treated like this

A friend of mine just had a baby, a baby boy. She's white, her husband is black, so their baby boy is mixed. When they found out they were having a boy, her husband's first thought wasn't "I'm so excited!" It wasn't "wow, I can't wait for my baby boy to be here!" It was "oh god, I hope the police don't kill him when he's older..." THAT is absolutely heartbreaking. White people don't have to worry about that. When my brother (who is white) was 16, there were protests going on at the school he went to. He was eventually told to leave the premises, and he agreed, he just said he had to go get my younger brothers. Because he didn't listen, he was arrested and booked overnight in prison. Yeah, he eventually got it expunged from his record, but that cost him multiple jobs and made finding a home much harder. And he's LUCKY that's all he dealt with. I can guarantee if he was black, he either would've been brutally beaten, or even killed. It's heartbreaking this is the reality we face

This is EXACTLY why I want to become an officer. This is awful, and I think we need to slowly replace the officers we currently have with people who aren’t sociopaths.

I am so so so SO sorry to the woman who lost her father due to police brutality that was so wrong of them my heart goes out to her. and to every other survivor / victim or whatever you want to be called I am so sorry oh my god I can’t even imagine. remember somebody has been through what you have too and you’re not alone here.

Oh my God. I can't believe that she got straight up stabbed for being 5 minutes past curfew. The world today man, it sucks. People are so terrible these days, no innocent person should go through this...

I love that Anthony isn’t afraid of talking about sensitive topics.

This is absolutely heartbreaking to watch, i cant believe people in the police that are meant to protect can do this. Im Australian and the police ive encountered are super chill, they do their jobs well and protect in my area. Its disgusting that they are this cruel to basically innocent people. Im so sorry- you guys deserve so much better this isnt ok

It’s disgusting that the people who are supposed to help to protect are the ones who hurt more and more people

It’s like the Stanford prison experiment. If people get power they often abuse it. And the fact that they can get away with it only makes it worse. Hopefully it gets better one day. No one should be treated like this.

Why should we trust people that are trained for 6 months with our lives? Im not black but i will stand for you and with you✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

THIS VIDEO IS SO SAD! IT HAS INSPORED ME TO START LOOKING UP THIS STUFF AND TRY TO MAKE AN ARTICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM IN THE WORLD!

These are such horrible things to happen. A very well-made video. Well done.

I feel so bad for the girl who’s father passed, she so young and she is going through all of this and it is just sad

So the random civilian with no training is supposed to keep their calm and act as a robot, but a trained policeman whose job is to know how to act in those situations can freak out and go as far as kill someone? Yeah, seems legit.

this is horrific just horrible what these people went through from the police officers that swore that they are hear to protect us, serve us. im so glad that you shed light on this is truly do believe that we are going through a police brutality pandemic

I am losing hope in humanity when hearing these terrible storys, but on the other hand it also gives me hope when I see all these brave people that Anthony gets on the show, and also Anthony himself with his team. People that are speaking up and adressing the issues, trying to make a difference.

I feel awful that innocent people have to go through this, it’s not fair.

Currently, my parents are in a "facebook" state of mind, where police brutality doesn't exist and is "just the media lying. I'm gonna show this video to them and hope it helps. Thank you Anthony and all the interviewies. Update: I didn't actually have the courage to do it, but you kind people gave that to me. Will update again after they get off work and see how it goes down. Update 2: Good news! I ended up showing it to them. They are still extremely skeptical, but it was definitely the first step in the right direction!

No words can describe the anger I'm feeling hearing their stories... we ALL need to do better. 😔

Sometimes I cannot believe that people can live with themselves if they hurt or kill someone. And even though I am a 11 year old I still believe that we all deserve equality and right now BLM more than ever. Police should be charged if they killed or hurt someone for no reason.

"It fixes the symptoms, but doesnt cure the disease" -That is the best way to describe it to people who dont understand, this video is just 💔🖤

I hope that when I grow up my daughter would ask me "what does racism mean?" Because she'll never see it or experience it and the world would be in a much better place

Bro the cop got promoted to Detective?! The justice system can be REALLY screwed up sometimes.

i got so many chills and tears in my eyes when they were all telling the stories. This is so sad

If this gets demonitised we know which side the algorithm's on

I live in a very upper class dominated city. When I was in high school, I decided that I wanted to join the military so I started running every day after school. Since then, I’ve almost been shot, I’ve been stalked, I’ve been raided and I’ve been continuously harassed by the police. What I learned from all these encounters is the overwhelming amount of people who call 9-11 on “assumptions”. On the day I was almost shot by the police officer (who would end up stalking me for a month) I learned that someone called the police because they said I had a “large duffle bag and was cutting in front of traffic repeatedly” and “was wearing riot gear”. Absolutely none of this was true and I almost lost my life because of it. The lesson to take from all of this I guess is to not make assumptions for everything in life that you don’t have the context too because you may be dancing with someone else’s life. Thanks for reading if you did. :)

gosh. 2020 was... quite a year. police brutality completely breaks my heart. I’m so glad these wonderful people actually survived, ah. I wonder how these survivors are doing

I cried so much watching this video. The people who are fighting for Police accountability are very brave and so strong. They are going against a system that has deep solid roots and sure won't be easy to take down because of all the corruption that it holds. I have so much respect for them

When the dude who was shot was talking about his experience you could tell Anthony’s anger levels kept going up and up. He was so outraged and honestly I was too

Showed my “blue lives/all lives matter” dad this video and he said it’d totally changed his perspective. Thank you for doing this!! :)

I wonder how broken that ceiling is by now.

This affects me so much. Like it says something when every time I speak with an officer I’m almost shivering in fear. I try to speak in a calm tone so I can just past the encounter. Like I’m trying to get better about it but it’s only so much oneself inner reflection can do

Imagine police being violent at protests against police being violent

PLEASE DO I SPENT A DAY WITH GAY CONVERSION CAMP SURVIVORS

This is my first time seeing these and I feel so bad for this people. You guys are the definition of survivors.

these videos literally make me cry

police: gO hOmE, iT iS pAsT cUrFeW. also police: We ArE bLoCkInG yOu So YoU cAnT gEt HoMe Edit: how did this blow up?

All because the man supposedly ran a stop sign, he gets shot five times.

This video really helped me understand what people meant by saying “let’s defund the police,” I now know that when someone says that they aren’t trying to put bad on people they are just trying to put that money to better causes. Thank you for making this video I think it really helped a lot of people (including me) understand the seriousness of this problem and god bless everyone who had to go though that or feel like that. Everyone deserves peace and respect especially right now so let’s all show that by opening the door for someone, wearing a mask in public, having manners (thank you, excuse me) and think before commenting something (think about if it’s gonna hurt someone if so don’t send it or revise it so it’s uplifting criticism). Let’s all be kind and happy today so just spread love. Have a great day! 😊😇
