This blog entry is a direct response to Dr. Kyburz video of "What Do You Think of the Police".
What is the effect of these interviews? The effect of these interviews is interesting because they interview people from all over the world, and get opinions on the police from multiple different countries. For the most part it seemed like majority of the people respected the police forces in there countries. However, for example when we look at Mexico during the inteviews with citizens from Mexico City they are in fear of the police, and do not like them. Doing my own research and just visitng on vacations and asking questions to cab drivers and citizens we can see that Mexico has one of the most corrupt police forces out in the world, and the way they handle situations is very different and aggressive compared to how it would be handled somewhere else. These interviews make you either appreciate the police or realize there is something wrong with out modern day law enforcement agencies. 

Is this a good tool for getting people talking and thinking about the complexities of Law Enforcement? Why? Why not? This is a good tool for getting people talking about the complexiites of law enforcement however it doesnt seem to be that beneficial if you compare the police in the United States to the police force in Mexico. Law enforcement is complex and always will be complex its the select negative actions of police officers that lead citizens to think negative and or positive about the police.

Was there a particular comment that struck you? Why? How? There was two comments that struck me in particular. The first one was that the boy in the beginning saying how "Just because youre wearing a blue uniform people fucking hate you". This comment stuck out because I was told by many police officers that people disrespect them and hate them for what they are wearing not for who they actually are. Its sad, but that comment is true and I wish it changed. Another comment that stuck out to me is the comment on how we should disarm police officers. That comment doesnt make sense because we will never take guns off the street 100% so what happens when the police dont have weapons to keep us safe?
