USA Cops: Protectors or Killers? American Police, Extreme Law & Order (Documentary)

Synopsis

Every year, American police officers kill around 1000 people, a staggering rate that is 20 times higher per head of population than in France and 60 times more than the UK. Today, the American police force faces increasing scrutiny and fear from the communities it is meant to protect. Films capturing police shootings, whether from bystanders' phones or bodycams, have sparked widespread outrage. Notable incidents include a driver shot multiple times for a broken brake light and another killed during a routine roadside check in front of his girlfriend. These events highlight the extreme law and order mentality prevalent in American policing, raising critical questions about accountability and public safety.
