    This argument did not go well

    You can’t convince people to do their job with logic when they just don’t want to do their job. After minorities, the thing cops hate most is doing their job.

    This didn’t go down well.

      After working in desktop support for a year after college, I realized that people just wanted their problem solved and to not feel frustrated. That realization made my job immensely easier because I pivoted from copying a file in 30 seconds and walking away to talking to them a little bit and letting them feel good after we were done. My ticket closing speed slowed down a little but people felt better and I consistently got positive feedback.

    This post just shows that the police rarely if ever review any video as this method would’ve been learned as a result of repeatedly reviewing video.

    “This argument didn’t go down well.”

    What an awesome punchline, should have been on its own line for more impact.

    I’m a little surprised the police didn’t already know about that method. Seems like they’d encounter enough CCTV footage that’d it’d be standard training.

    I once again overestimate the training levels of the police.

      more importantly cops don’t actually give a shit about solving crime.

      In England the police primarily exist to keep noise down in middle class areas. I assume it’s even worse in America
