Do Not Resist
No justice, no peace!
No justice, no peace!
No justice, no peace!
No justice, no peace!
No justice, no peace!
Hey hey, ho ho!
These killer cops have got to go!
Hey hey, ho ho!
These killer cops have got to go!
No justice, no peace!
No justice, no peace!
It's no surprise, man.
It's not, it happens
every day all the time,
but it takes something of this magnitude
to be nationally publicized.
It just depends, whatever the media...
They picked up on this story.
There's other stories they
didn't pick up on like this one.
Like it's good that they did,
and I hope St. Louis takes
advantage of the opportunity, man,
but there's a whole bunch of other
kids that get shot by the cops too.
And don't nobody do no
marches and stuff for them.
One hundred percent, man.
Do you feel the anger?
And it has to change.
There has to be an ear
in leadership to listen,
rather than just ordering around.
And you have a generation
that are getting fed up with it.
They're getting fed up with it.
And even though they
don't have what we call a...
A organized education,
they're intelligent individuals.
And so they understand
what it is to be oppressed
and they know when someone
is trying to oppress them.
And as you see out here now,
they're fighting it.
And I think that it's going to be more
than just Ferguson in the future.
I think it's gonna expand,
I really do.
Please do not forget that
there is a 12:
00 curfewand if you are out in Ferguson after
12:
00 we cannot ensure your safety.The police are not telling
us how they will respond
to anyone being down
in Ferguson after 12:00.
We cannot ensure your safety.
There are too many people.
There is no peace at all!
Answers is what we want!
Give us that, or there will be no sleep!
None at all!
I'm not scared of your stick!
That means nothing to me!
I need answers, Tonight! Answer me this!
- Please calm down.
- Why are we out here?
Calm it down.
If I answer your questions, I'll listen
to you and I want you to listen to me.
Let's not scream at each other.
You first.
We're out here to get answers.
If I had answers to give you,
young man, I would.
I would.
And there's answers to the
questions that you're asking,
and trust me, if I could
give you some answers,
I know it would allow all
of us to go home tonight.
But I guarantee you that every night
when I go home and I wake up,
I'm looking for some of the same
answers that you're looking for.
Why are you speaking for him?
Why are you speaking for him?
He's speaking for us, brother.
He's speaking for the community.
You need to speak for us.
We need answers.
We need answers!
Just like the answers that you want,
there's people that are
white, Hispanic, Asian...
When you look around here,
there's a lot of people that
say, "You know what."
"We're out here protesting."
"We're out here asking
for change it isn't just us."
"It's everybody."
Hands up, don't shoot!
Hands up, don't shoot!
Hands up, don't shoot!
You are in violation
of the state-imposed curfew.
You must disperse immediately
in a peaceful manner.
Don't resist! Don't resist!
We have the right
to assemble peacefully!
You are violating
the state-imposed curfew.
No one is doing anything wrong!
No one is doing anything wrong!
We have the right!
That's our right!
That's what we vote for!
Tell them there's no looting tonight!
There is no looting!
There is no fighting tonight!
There is no fighting!
Please tell them. All we
want to do is protest peacefully!
You must disperse the area immediately.
You are in violation of
the state-imposed curfew.
You are subject to arrest.
You must leave immediately.
Marco!
Marco!
Marco!
This is how they do us.
What the f***?
You think we can't peacefully
protest, motherfuckers!
That's bullshit!
F*** you!
F*** you!
You are not authorized to remain...
Move!
Hey!
You guys should be ready to go home.
Back up! Back up!
Back up! Back up!
Keep going. Keep going!
You need to continue to move!
If you are standing still,
you may be subject to arrest.
This is ground zero! Back up!
This is ground zero!
Car 16?
Hey, lift it back up.
Come on, guys, move the line back.
Watch your back.
Let's go.
Hey!
Yes.
Car 72 or 55?
Are you on the afternoons now
or what are you working now?
Afternoons. I'm going
on hour four of overtime.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah, right?
They need to stop giving
these boys these toys
'cause they don't know how to handle it.
Hello?
The policeman is the man of the city.
Heard of the mountain man,
the frontiersman?
Nobody talks about frontiersmen anymore.
We still talk about policemen.
You are to your city,
your county, your state
what the frontiersman
was to the frontier.
You fight violence.
What do you fight it with?
Superior violence.
Righteous violence, yeah?
Violence is your tool.
Violence is your enemy.
Violence is the realm we operate in.
You are men and women of violence.
You must master it,
or it will destroy you, yeah?
I've been on the road for 18 years.
People know me. They trust me.
I get a depth of information.
I ask questions other people won't ask.
Cop says knock-down,
drag-out fight,
cuff them and stuff them.
Finally get home at
the end of the shift and...
Cop says gunfight, bad guys down.
"'I'm alive!"
Finally get home at
the end of the incident
and they all say,
"The best sex
I've had in months."
Both partners are very invested
in some very intense sex.
There's not a whole lot of
perks that come with this job.
You find one, relax and enjoy it.
Thank you, for taking and keeping...
Anybody here from prison,
probation, jail?
'Cause I honor you,
I publicly honor you.
You looked in the eyes
and you know the world's a better place
'cause they're behind bars, yes?
So you do this...
On your way home that night, park
your vehicle in the overpass
for just a minute.
Step out of your vehicle
for just a minute.
Look out on your city.
Look at your citizens
going about their lives,
and know deep in your gut
that today,
at the risk of your life,
you made their world a better place,
whether they know it or not.
Then walk up that bridge rail,
put your hands on that rail.
Look out on your city,
and let your cape blow in the wind.
Thanks, guys. Thank you.
Go, go, go!
Easy!
You got it, man.
Ya'll gotta go!
Easy run,
boys, let's go! Breathe!
Let's go! Get it done!
We all get amped up, going on,
if we do a regular warrant,
we all get the feel,
and the adrenalin going,
but you don't get the butterflies
you do on the start line
for any of these events.
It's just different.
Get in, let's go! Get in,
let's go, let's go, let's go!
Get inside, then you'll be good!
I remember the first search warrant,
you're riding on the outside
of these armored vehicles.
I remember the first time I did it,
I'm just trying not to smile,
like it was just so much fun,
I thought it was so cool.
