Do Not Resist Page #3

Synopsis: An urgent and powerful exploration of the rapid militarization of the police in the United States. Starting on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, as the community grapples with the death of Michael Brown, DO NOT RESIST - the directorial debut of Detropia cinematographer Craig Atkinson - offers a stunning look at the current state of policing in America and a glimpse into the future. The Tribeca Film Festival winner for Best Documentary puts viewers in the center of the action - from a ride-along with a South Carolina SWAT team and inside a police training seminar that teaches the importance of "righteous violence" to the floor of a congressional hearing on the proliferation of military equipment in small-town police departments - before exploring where controversial new technologies including predictive policing algorithms could lead the field next.

in Senator Coburn's state.

Uh, Mr. Estevez,

in the NPR investigation

of the 1033 program,

they listed 12,000 bayonets

had been given out.

What purpose are bayonets,

being given out for?

Senator, bayonets are

available under the program.

I can't answer what a local police

force would need a bayonet for...

I can give you

an answer. None.

In FEMA's authorized equipment list,

there's actually written descriptions

for how the equipment should be used,

and it says it's specifically not

supposed to be used for riot suppression.

Mr. Kamoie, uh,

is that true that it's not supposed

to be used for riot suppression?

There's a prohibition in

the authorized equipment list

that it's not to be

used for riot suppression.

But many of the police forces

actually think that this is what

the equipment would be

good for is riot suppression

in a big city in an urban area

and you've specifically instructed

that it's not for that.

I want to make

sure that the record is clear,

36% of the property issued

is new and not used.

In other words, almost 40%

of what you are giving away

has never been used by the military.

What they said is it's

in Condition Code A.

Condition Code A is like new.

Okay, well, I guarantee you the stuff you're

giving away you're continuing to buy.

I guarantee it.

So tell me how that happens.

Senator, I'll have to go through...

It's 36% of what you're giving away,

you have no idea what it is

you're giving away that's new?

I'll have to go through

the list, Senator,

and I'll be happy to take your

question for the record on that.

I want to make

sure that the record is clear.

Do any of you now have any policy

that requires you to track

any kind of usage data

for the equipment you're providing

that is considered military grade?

Yes or no?

No.

No.

Not good.

Move in!

Threat!

Threat!

Threat!

All right, guys, let's go load up again.

I would say 40%

of the team is prior military.

We are preparing pretty much

for any type of situation.

Of course, anything dealing

with ISIS is a concern.

We do a lot of training with, uh, WMD,

weapons of mass destruction.

We do a lot of training in the

event that we had a situation

like what they had, uh, in Missouri.

Any type of

unruly crowds that we would have

to deal with on civil disturbance.

Move!

Move!

Move!

Good job, guys.

Guys, listen!

We're moving up to a building, we're

getting overwhelming firepower.

That's what it's gonna be like it.

Cover him, one person's moving.

We need to get up there

as quick as possible.

And you could see how

dynamic that was, right?

You guys did it in reverse.

Good job. Heart rate's up.

All right, we're getting ready

to execute a search warrant.

Entry team, you'll take a

direct approach to the house,

hit the front door and

hold everything inside.

I have seen photos

of the target with kids,

so I think he has kids,

but I haven't seen kids there,

haven't seen any kind

of kid toys in the yard.

He is there right now.

Twenty to 30 minutes ago there

were more players there.

So if anybody's there, they're

all gonna be in the process.

We're gonna take them all down.

Anybody got any questions?

It's going to be right

around this curve on the left-hand side.

It'll be an open field

and then the target.

Right here.

Right here.

Yeah, this is it.

Go!

Don't move! Don't move!

Hands up!

Hands up!

Lemme see your hands!

Get down!

Hands up!

Hands up! Get down!

Lemme see your hands.

Go! Go! Go!

Hands up! Hands up!

Get down!

Hands up!

Hands together like you're praying.

Hands together like you're praying, sir.

Police search!

Get up on that couch now!

Yeah, it's that serious.

Boy, that was sweet.

That was sweet.

Man, they were in there so fast.

It sounded like a flash

bang running in there.

It's clear. It's clear.

There's got to be some guns here.

We've been to this house before.

Oh yeah, we go to the same houses.

Some of the doors, you'll see where

we knocked it in the last time,

there'll still be the dent in the door.

Yeah, we do a lot.

Two hundred of these a year, easy.

It used to be

we'd do three to four a day.

There was a book bag that was here,

it had a little bit of weed in it.

It was just loose bud.

You're gonna go to jail today for simple

possession of marijuana, second offense.

Come over here for a minute.

Come and talk back here.

You know you had a little bit of

weed inside that book bag, right?

I'm not, I mean...

I'm not saying... I never one time

said that you were a bad person.

I just got a job to do,

and you just happen to be

in the middle of it, right?

You go to school, right? Yeah.

Denmark Technical College.

What are you trying to do?

Building construction technology.

What are we gonna do

about the damn windows man?

Sir?

I mean, can you do sh*t like that?

Yeah.

I mean we gotta pay for the f***ing

windows like that down there?

That's some sh*t there, man.

Did you have a question for me?

Yeah, I was asking what they going

to do about the windows, man?

I mean, are we supposed

to get the windows fixed?

They just blew the

f***ing window out, man?

It's a distractionary technique.

It's just what they did, they

felt they needed to do it.

The moral of the story is don't

sell drugs from the residence,

or don't have people...

Don't allow...

I didn't actually say you were, I

just said you're associated with it.

I can see that you would

possibly have an affiliation.

Just from the stuff that I've seen.

If you were on the outside

looking in maybe, right?

Do you want to leave

those keys with them?

Yeah, my keys and my money.

How much is this?

All right come over here.

Tell her to get...

The Stihl weed eater.

- You got him?

- Copy.

- Nobody checked him.

- That's what I said.

- That's like $1,000.

- I know.

He wants me to give it to that guy,

but I think we should seize it.

I think we should seize it, because

it was found on his person.

Twenty, 40, 60...

I'm just going to put currency here.

It's out of his pocket. Somebody

else want to count that?

I'll give him the

change and the lighter.

Hey, this right here

was in your son's pocket.

He had cash that's getting seized

but that's the remainder of the

change that he had in his pocket.

He had some more money in his

pocket, but it's getting taken.

We located a small amount of marijuana.

Just a small amount of marijuana,

personal use it appeared to be.

And that's about it.

It happens.

Drug warrants are, you know, 50/50.

That's why we search it.

I heard a big bam.

I thought somebody was gonna

get robbed or something.

I didn't know what to expect.

The first thing I asked him,

"Ya'll looking for a terrorist?

Ya'll think a terrorist in here?"

'Cause that's the kind

of feeling that I had.

They were looking for something

really strong, really important.

I mean...

Government stuff.

They tore down my house.

My son went to jail
