Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,335 --> 00:00:03,843
In the eighties, there was
nothing cooler than a cop.
2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,039
They were brave, they were hot,
3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,999
some of them were even dogs.
4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,579
He told us, "Take a bite out of crime,"
5
00:00:11,580 --> 00:00:14,669
and we listened,
because cops were heroes.
6
00:00:14,670 --> 00:00:16,183
But in the black community,
7
00:00:16,208 --> 00:00:19,464
relationships with police
are more complicated.
8
00:00:19,489 --> 00:00:22,669
So you can probably imagine how
each one of my parents reacted
9
00:00:22,670 --> 00:00:23,709
when this happened...
10
00:00:23,710 --> 00:00:26,039
Mom, can I go to Cop Camp?
11
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,818
I want to hang out
with police officers all day!
12
00:00:28,843 --> 00:00:31,133
- No way.
- That's a great idea.
13
00:00:32,936 --> 00:00:35,669
I bet you thought my parents
would be flipped on that one.
14
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:36,800

Have I had too many of these,
35
00:01:19,090 --> 00:01:20,919
or did I just hear a black parent
36
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,499
volunteer her kid to the cops?
37
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:25,089
Both can be true.
38
00:01:25,090 --> 00:01:26,499
We encourage our kids to explore
39
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:28,129
whatever they're interested in.
40
00:01:28,130 --> 00:01:29,799
Yeah, and apparently
we're also letting them
41
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,549
spin around in circles
till they throw up
42
00:01:31,550 --> 00:01:33,209
and play with toasters in the bathtub.
43
00:01:33,210 --> 00:01:34,589
"An after school program
44
00:01:34,590 --> 00:01:36,339
where police officers teach kids
45
00:01:36,340 --> 00:01:38,049
community, safety"...
46
00:01:38,050 --> 00:01:39,959
This is snitch camp.
47
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:41,709
You're sending your kid to snitch camp.
48
00:01:41,710 --> 00:01:44,129
Relax. It's just
an after school program.
49
00:01:44,130 --> 00:01:46,499
Oh! Okay, Mr. Officer!
50
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:49,419
I will get in your backseat anytime.
51
00:01:49,420 --> 00:01:50,589
What?
52
00:01:50,590 --> 00:01:52,111
I like a man in uniform.
53
00:01:52,136 --> 00:01:54,680
Well, no son of mine
is gonna become a cop.
54
00:01:54,705 --> 00:01:56,494
Apparently no son of mine
is gonna become anything.
55
00:01:56,495 --> 00:01:59,074
Look, you guys always complain
about the police,
56
00:01:59,075 --> 00:02:01,454
but be honest, if somebody broke in here
57
00:02:01,455 --> 00:02:02,744
and stole all your headbands,
58
00:02:02,745 --> 00:02:04,114
you'd call the cops.
59
00:02:04,115 --> 00:02:05,614
Nope. They're just headbands.
60
00:02:05,615 --> 00:02:06,824
I could always weave more.
61
00:02:06,825 --> 00:02:08,324
Well, I don't call the police, either.
62
00:02:08,325 --> 00:02:09,704
I call our cousin Ray-Ray.
63
00:02:09,705 --> 00:02:10,705
He don't play.
64
00:02:10,706 --> 00:02:11,744
How is Ray-Ray?
65
00:02:11,745 --> 00:02:13,034
He's good!
66
00:02:13,035 --> 00:02:15,204
You people think the cops are out there
67
00:02:15,205 --> 00:02:17,824
swinging their billy clubs
at anything with a tan.
68
00:02:17,825 --> 00:02:19,664
But truth is, you stay out of trouble,
69
00:02:19,665 --> 00:02:21,204
they don't bother you.
70
00:02:21,205 --> 00:02:22,704
- Unh-unh. That is not true.
- That's just dumb.
71
00:02:22,705 --> 00:02:23,954
No, it's not true.
72
00:02:23,955 --> 00:02:25,034
And that's why I don't understand
why you want
73
00:02:25,035 --> 00:02:26,404
Johan to become a cop.
74
00:02:26,405 --> 00:02:28,994
Did you become what you
wanted to be when you were 11?
75
00:02:28,995 --> 00:02:31,824
Yes, I wanted to become
a millionaire, and I did.
76
00:02:31,825 --> 00:02:33,744
Well, last week, Johan wanted
to be an astronaut.
77
00:02:33,745 --> 00:02:35,534
And the week before that,
he wanted to be a dinosaur.
78
00:02:35,535 --> 00:02:37,324
But 11 or not,
79
00:02:37,325 --> 00:02:39,364
why would we want
to put him in harm's way?
80
00:02:39,365 --> 00:02:41,284
To my mom,
81
00:02:41,285 --> 00:02:43,664
this was the opposite
of putting him in harm's way.
82
00:02:45,365 --> 00:02:47,704
Sadly, we are all aware of the problem
83
00:02:47,705 --> 00:02:50,824
of police shooting unarmed black boys.
84
00:02:50,825 --> 00:02:53,704
Unfortunately, it's something
our community has faced
85
00:02:53,705 --> 00:02:54,994
for a very long time.
86
00:02:54,995 --> 00:02:56,204
Even in the eighties,
87
00:02:56,205 --> 00:02:57,954
black mothers would prepare their sons
88
00:02:57,955 --> 00:02:59,994
for interactions with the police.
89
00:02:59,995 --> 00:03:01,284
Some mothers would introduce
90
00:03:01,285 --> 00:03:03,364
their pre-teen children to local cops
91
00:03:03,365 --> 00:03:05,664
in hopes that would help keep them safe.
92
00:03:05,665 --> 00:03:07,864
Today, camera phones and social media
93
00:03:07,865 --> 00:03:09,824
have made it possible for black mothers
94
00:03:09,825 --> 00:03:13,204
to bring attention to police injustice.
95
00:03:13,205 --> 00:03:15,114
However, this burden continues
96
00:03:15,115 --> 00:03:16,534
to be passed down in our community
97
00:03:16,535 --> 00:03:19,404
in order to protect the bodies
of our black children.
98
00:03:19,405 --> 00:03:21,284
I'm trying to be realistic here.
99
00:03:21,285 --> 00:03:23,324
And if there's a one-percent chance
100
00:03:23,325 --> 00:03:24,534
the cops knowing him
101
00:03:24,535 --> 00:03:26,664
will make him seem like
less of a threat,
102
00:03:26,665 --> 00:03:28,244
then I want that one percent.
103
00:03:28,245 --> 00:03:30,244
Look, babe, I don't
want him to get the idea
104
00:03:30,245 --> 00:03:31,994
that all cops are his buddies.
105
00:03:31,995 --> 00:03:33,744
They may not take him as seriously.
106
00:03:33,745 --> 00:03:35,704
It's nice having a buddy who's a cop.
107
00:03:35,705 --> 00:03:37,704
Mine made my D.U.I.
M.I.A.
108
00:03:37,705 --> 00:03:39,034
I don't want that either,
109
00:03:39,035 --> 00:03:41,204
but we have to use all the tools
in the chest, Paul.
110
00:03:41,205 --> 00:03:42,534
All right, honey,
111
00:03:42,535 --> 00:03:45,494
if you think that's best,
then he can go.
112
00:03:45,495 --> 00:03:48,074
But I'm gonna go with him
to police the police.
113
00:03:48,075 --> 00:03:49,324
And I know how you can get,
114
00:03:49,325 --> 00:03:52,324
so I'm going to police you
policing the police.
115
00:03:52,325 --> 00:03:54,324
- And I'm gonna go and police you...
- Well, whatever.
116
00:03:54,325 --> 00:03:55,664
You just want to drool over
men in uniform.
117
00:03:55,665 --> 00:03:57,244
You a snitch.
118
00:03:59,205 --> 00:04:01,244
In the eighties,
adults thought it was okay
119
00:04:01,245 --> 00:04:04,034
to put children in charge
of other children's lives.
120
00:04:04,035 --> 00:04:06,364
And I loved being a "Safety Patrol"
121
00:04:06,365 --> 00:04:08,744
because I loved having
an important title.
122
00:04:08,745 --> 00:04:10,704
Have I ever told you I'm a doctor?
123
00:04:10,705 --> 00:04:12,864
What are you supposed to be...
124
00:04:12,865 --> 00:04:14,164
Nerd Patrol?
125
00:04:14,165 --> 00:04:15,744
No, I'm a "Safety Patrol."
126
00:04:15,745 --> 00:04:17,574
And you're just jealous.
127
00:04:17,575 --> 00:04:19,364
I'm not jealous.
128
00:04:19,365 --> 00:04:20,574
You sound jealous.
129
00:04:20,575 --> 00:04:22,784
Trust me, I'm not.
130
00:04:22,785 --> 00:04:24,574
It's one mistake after another
with you two.
131
00:04:24,575 --> 00:04:25,744
Whatever, Santi.
132
00:04:25,745 --> 00:04:27,574
You still need me to cross the street.
133
00:04:33,075 --> 00:04:34,784
- She's totally jealous.
- Bigtime.
134
00:04:39,035 --> 00:04:41,164
- Hi there, officer.
- Oh, hi.
135
00:04:41,165 --> 00:04:44,364
I just wanted to introduce
myself and my son, Johan.
136
00:04:44,365 --> 00:04:45,864
Johan, come on over.
137
00:04:45,865 --> 00:04:48,204
So, this is Johan.
138
00:04:48,205 --> 00:04:49,574
Nice to meet you, Johan.
139
00:04:49,575 --> 00:04:51,494
I will definitely remember that name.
140
00:04:51,495 --> 00:04:52,704
Call me Steve-O.
141
00:04:52,705 --> 00:04:53,954
You got it, Steve-O!
142
00:04:53,955 --> 00:04:56,034
No, it's "Officer Stevenson."
143
00:04:56,035 --> 00:04:58,074
Except nicknames are usually shorter...
144
00:04:58,075 --> 00:05:01,574
And here is Johan's class picture.
145
00:05:01,575 --> 00:05:02,664
You can have it.
146
00:05:02,665 --> 00:05:04,324
Put it on the visor of your cruiser.
147
00:05:04,325 --> 00:05:06,704
Uh, I don't think
we're allowed to put up
148
00:05:06,705 --> 00:05:08,204
pictures of other people's kids.
149
00:05:08,205 --> 00:05:10,784
But, um, welcome, Johan!
150
00:05:10,785 --> 00:05:12,284
Come on out here.
151
00:05:12,285 --> 00:05:13,324
All right!
152
00:05:13,325 --> 00:05:15,614
Who wants one of these?
153
00:05:15,615 --> 00:05:16,864
Huh? Yeah, yeah.
154
00:05:16,865 --> 00:05:18,454
You all do.
155
00:05:18,455 --> 00:05:20,074
Unfortunately, only five of you
156
00:05:20,075 --> 00:05:21,704
are gonna get into the program.
157
00:05:21,705 --> 00:05:23,904
Nowadays, kids get trophies
158
00:05:23,905 --> 00:05:25,744
just for thinking of
signing up for something.
159
00:05:25,745 --> 00:05:27,244
But in the eighties,
160
00:05:27,245 --> 00:05:29,404
you had to earn your cheap,
flammable T-shirts.
161
00:05:29,405 --> 00:05:32,954
So the first five kids
to finish this obstacle course
162
00:05:32,955 --> 00:05:34,454
get a spot in our camp.
163
00:05:34,455 --> 00:05:35,704
Oh, no.
164
00:05:35,705 --> 00:05:37,244
There's a chance he might not get in.
165
00:05:37,245 --> 00:05:39,268
Oh, there's practically
no chance he gets in.
166
00:05:39,293 --> 00:05:41,494
Johan isn't top five in anything physical.
167
00:05:41,495 --> 00:05:43,284
Okay, let's go.
168
00:05:43,285 --> 00:05:44,440
Oh!
169
00:05:44,465 --> 00:05:45,759
I've never been so right so fast.
170
00:05:47,995 --> 00:05:50,744
It's still our son
going to an after school club.
171
00:05:50,745 --> 00:05:51,994
We're here to support him.
172
00:05:51,995 --> 00:05:53,614
- Okay, all right.
- Okay.
173
00:05:53,615 --> 00:05:55,284
Go, Johan.
174
00:05:57,905 --> 00:05:59,574
You can do it, Johan!
175
00:05:59,575 --> 00:06:01,404
We have Kenyan in our family!
176
00:06:01,405 --> 00:06:02,954
Why are you cheering for this?
177
00:06:02,955 --> 00:06:04,664
I'm cheering for our son.
178
00:06:04,665 --> 00:06:06,034
To be a kid cop.
179
00:06:06,035 --> 00:06:08,492
Johan, your shoes are untied!
180
00:06:08,517 --> 00:06:09,703
The cop remembered his name.
181
00:06:09,727 --> 00:06:10,804
- That's a good thing, right?
- Yeah, yeah.
182
00:06:17,955 --> 00:06:20,164
Oh, cheer up.
183
00:06:20,165 --> 00:06:22,244
Hopefully that's the last time
he's running from the cops.
184
00:06:22,245 --> 00:06:24,285
Dad, you want to hold Steve-O's gun?
185
00:06:28,665 --> 00:06:29,744
Hi, sweetheart.
186
00:06:29,745 --> 00:06:31,114
Camp was awesome today!
187
00:06:31,115 --> 00:06:33,324
We got to sit
in the back of a police car,
188
00:06:33,325 --> 00:06:34,904
and he let me turn on the sirens.
189
00:06:34,905 --> 00:06:36,824
- Wow.
- Wow.
190
00:06:36,825 --> 00:06:38,245
All right, buddy, why don't you go
do your homework?
191
00:06:42,205 --> 00:06:43,404
How did he even win
that obstacle course?
192
00:06:43,405 --> 00:06:44,784
He walks like a Muppet.
193
00:06:44,785 --> 00:06:47,034
You're upset that your kid is a winner?
194
00:06:47,906 --> 00:06:49,284
Well, I get that you want
195
00:06:49,285 --> 00:06:50,954
to see yourself in your own son,
196
00:06:50,955 --> 00:06:52,494
but this is taking it a little far.
197
00:06:52,495 --> 00:06:55,034
You know, that camp
is nothing but propaganda.
198
00:06:55,035 --> 00:06:57,244
It's just a way for Johan
to think that cops
199
00:06:57,245 --> 00:06:59,074
are the nicest guys on the planet.
200
00:06:59,075 --> 00:07:01,454
And clearly it's working.
201
00:07:01,455 --> 00:07:03,404
I think this camp could be
a great opportunity
202
00:07:03,405 --> 00:07:06,284
for Johan to learn
how the police operate.
203
00:07:06,285 --> 00:07:08,784
Like it or not,
there's a different set of rules
204
00:07:08,785 --> 00:07:11,034
for people of color to follow
around cops.
205
00:07:11,035 --> 00:07:14,034
So, if spending time around the police
206
00:07:14,035 --> 00:07:16,364
can help him with those rules,
then great.
207
00:07:16,365 --> 00:07:19,744
But w-why does the onus
have to always be on us?
208
00:07:19,745 --> 00:07:21,824
This is the thing
we were fighting in the sixties.
209
00:07:21,825 --> 00:07:23,954
- There's a systemic problem that...
- Paul.
210
00:07:23,955 --> 00:07:26,204
I'm a black woman in America.
211
00:07:26,205 --> 00:07:28,704
Is the cop problem systemic? Yes.
212
00:07:28,705 --> 00:07:31,454
Do I work every day to challenge
the legal system?
213
00:07:31,455 --> 00:07:32,784
Yes.
214
00:07:32,785 --> 00:07:35,744
Do I have a son who I worry about
215
00:07:35,745 --> 00:07:37,204
every time he walks out that door?
216
00:07:37,205 --> 00:07:38,574
Yeah.
217
00:07:38,575 --> 00:07:42,614
I want Johan to learn
how to behave around cops
218
00:07:42,615 --> 00:07:44,034
as soon as possible.
219
00:07:44,035 --> 00:07:46,784
So I need you to... to trust me.
220
00:07:46,785 --> 00:07:48,574
I got this one.
221
00:07:48,575 --> 00:07:51,074
Okay.
222
00:07:51,075 --> 00:07:52,664
Okay. But just for the record,
223
00:07:52,665 --> 00:07:55,244
I think this Cop Camp
is basically a cult.
224
00:07:55,245 --> 00:07:57,824
Aren't cults kinda your thing?
225
00:07:57,825 --> 00:08:01,114
We lived on a commune, Dad, not a cult.
226
00:08:01,115 --> 00:08:04,494
There's a subtle
but important difference.
227
00:08:06,535 --> 00:08:09,534
I think you walk like a Muppet.
228
00:08:09,535 --> 00:08:12,204
Are we allowed to make citizens arrests?
229
00:08:12,205 --> 00:08:14,454
I don't see why not.
230
00:08:14,455 --> 00:08:15,574
Oh, good.
231
00:08:15,575 --> 00:08:17,404
It's just you two.
232
00:08:17,405 --> 00:08:18,824
Bye.
233
00:08:18,825 --> 00:08:20,114
Wait, aren't you
supposed to be in class?
234
00:08:20,115 --> 00:08:22,954
I'm getting my book. For class.
235
00:08:22,955 --> 00:08:25,664
And I was bored. With class.
236
00:08:25,665 --> 00:08:26,904
You guys know the rules.
237
00:08:26,905 --> 00:08:28,494
You can't be out here right now.
238
00:08:28,495 --> 00:08:29,614
Are you serious?
239
00:08:29,615 --> 00:08:30,784
I am.
240
00:08:30,785 --> 00:08:33,494
I took an oath on Ms. Collin's
Harlequin romance novel.
241
00:08:33,495 --> 00:08:35,534
An oath to enforce dumb rules.
242
00:08:35,535 --> 00:08:37,454
How is not being allowed
to ditch class a dumb rule?
243
00:08:37,455 --> 00:08:38,664
We're at school to learn,
244
00:08:38,665 --> 00:08:40,324
but they won't let me grab my book?
245
00:08:40,325 --> 00:08:43,704
Rainbow, she's making good arguments.
246
00:08:43,705 --> 00:08:44,954
And that bathroom pass?
247
00:08:44,955 --> 00:08:46,864
Think of how much doo-doo is on it.
248
00:08:46,865 --> 00:08:48,245
They wash them, don't they?
249
00:08:49,575 --> 00:08:51,494
That's so unsanitary.
250
00:08:51,495 --> 00:08:52,744
That's what we're saying.
251
00:08:52,745 --> 00:08:54,614
Enjoy the job for what it is.
252
00:08:54,615 --> 00:08:55,904
You get out of class early,
253
00:08:55,905 --> 00:08:58,364
and you get to wear those...
254
00:08:58,365 --> 00:08:59,994
belts.
255
00:08:59,995 --> 00:09:01,284
Don't make people hate you
256
00:09:01,285 --> 00:09:03,164
for tripping off dumb rules
that don't matter.
257
00:09:03,165 --> 00:09:05,574
I'm a safety. I can't ignore the rules.
258
00:09:05,575 --> 00:09:06,784
Just the dumb ones.
259
00:09:06,785 --> 00:09:08,904
If you do that,
you'll have a new title...
260
00:09:08,905 --> 00:09:11,614
Rainbow Johnson, Freshquire.
261
00:09:11,615 --> 00:09:13,074
Freshquire?
262
00:09:13,075 --> 00:09:15,574
Tamika was making a lot of sense.
263
00:09:15,575 --> 00:09:17,744
Some of the rules did seem unnecessary,
264
00:09:17,745 --> 00:09:20,164
and that title was just
too good to pass up.
265
00:09:20,165 --> 00:09:23,284
Plus, there probably was a lot
of doo-doo on those passes.
266
00:09:23,285 --> 00:09:26,364
Well, "Freshquire" says
you can go to your locker.
267
00:09:26,365 --> 00:09:27,744
Oh, we were going to anyway, but thanks.
268
00:09:34,159 --> 00:09:35,689
They called me Freshquire?
269
00:09:35,714 --> 00:09:38,164
It was like I was a made woman.
270
00:09:38,165 --> 00:09:42,034
Since my first day of Mondale,
I wanted to be a safety.
271
00:09:43,564 --> 00:09:45,143
To me, being a safety
272
00:09:45,168 --> 00:09:48,110
was better than being
President of the United States.
273
00:09:48,135 --> 00:09:50,664
To me, it meant being a somebody
274
00:09:50,665 --> 00:09:52,784
in a school of nobodies.
275
00:09:52,785 --> 00:09:54,494
Sorry.
276
00:09:54,495 --> 00:09:56,034
I-I don't know why
I'm talking like a mobster.
277
00:09:56,035 --> 00:09:58,364
Do people, like,
like you now or something?
278
00:09:58,365 --> 00:09:59,954
Beat it, Santi.
279
00:09:59,955 --> 00:10:01,164
Hey, that sash looks kinda cool.
280
00:10:01,165 --> 00:10:03,074
I knew you were jealous.
281
00:10:03,075 --> 00:10:05,034
Fine, maybe a little.
282
00:10:05,035 --> 00:10:06,824
Mind if I take it for a spin?
283
00:10:06,825 --> 00:10:08,534
You have five seconds
to get out of here,
284
00:10:08,535 --> 00:10:10,074
- or I'm writing you up.
- Whatever.
285
00:10:10,075 --> 00:10:12,114
Sash makes you look fat anyway.
286
00:10:12,115 --> 00:10:13,404
We both know it doesn't.
287
00:10:23,455 --> 00:10:25,744
The conviction of
Leroy Washington was overturned
288
00:10:25,745 --> 00:10:27,864
after spending forty-two years in prison
289
00:10:27,865 --> 00:10:29,704
for a crime he didn't commit.
290
00:10:29,705 --> 00:10:32,784
It took a minute,
but today, justice prevailed.
291
00:10:32,785 --> 00:10:35,074
- Justice...
- Reporting live from the courthouse...
292
00:10:35,075 --> 00:10:37,431
- How is that justice?
- You're telling me.
293
00:10:37,456 --> 00:10:39,455
Locking up all that hot chocolate
294
00:10:39,456 --> 00:10:41,534
for over forty-two years over nothing?
295
00:10:41,535 --> 00:10:43,534
This is why I'm single.
296
00:10:43,535 --> 00:10:44,659
And during the civil rights movement,
297
00:10:44,684 --> 00:10:46,454
I met black guys who had done years
298
00:10:46,455 --> 00:10:49,324
for crimes in cities
they'd never even been to.
299
00:10:49,325 --> 00:10:52,115
And we move back here,
and nothing has changed.
300
00:10:53,575 --> 00:10:55,904
If Johan is gonna do this camp,
I need to be there.
301
00:10:55,905 --> 00:10:59,034
Normally, you talking about
black issues is annoying,
302
00:10:59,035 --> 00:11:01,114
but I'm coming with you.
303
00:11:01,115 --> 00:11:03,455
I just need to put on my
don't-[bleep]-with-me wig.
304
00:11:04,342 --> 00:11:06,324
Now, remembering every little detail
305
00:11:06,325 --> 00:11:10,074
you can about a criminal
is very, very important.
306
00:11:10,075 --> 00:11:12,051
I'm glad we came here
to keep an eye on things.
307
00:11:12,076 --> 00:11:13,824
I feel better already.
308
00:11:13,825 --> 00:11:16,704
- So, I'm gonna show you a picture...
- Just say the word, and I will jump in.
309
00:11:16,705 --> 00:11:19,204
- ...of a suspect really fast.
- I used extra bobby pins, everything.
310
00:11:19,205 --> 00:11:20,954
- Go ahead, give it a tug.
- Oh.
311
00:11:20,955 --> 00:11:22,784
Never touch a black woman's hair.
312
00:11:22,785 --> 00:11:24,164
- What?
- All right, kids,
313
00:11:24,165 --> 00:11:26,034
when a crime happens,
314
00:11:26,035 --> 00:11:28,574
witness testimony is the best way
315
00:11:28,575 --> 00:11:30,454
to put a bad guy in jail.
316
00:11:30,455 --> 00:11:32,824
Sometimes forever.
317
00:11:32,825 --> 00:11:33,954
- Ooh!
- Mm-hmm.
318
00:11:33,955 --> 00:11:35,664
So, I'm going to show you
319
00:11:35,665 --> 00:11:38,404
a picture of a suspect really fast,
320
00:11:38,405 --> 00:11:41,994
and we'll see how good you are
at describing him.
321
00:11:41,995 --> 00:11:43,284
It's really weird.
322
00:11:43,285 --> 00:11:45,534
Usually, a white man like that
would make me sick.
323
00:11:45,535 --> 00:11:48,614
But you put him in a uniform, and unh!
324
00:11:48,615 --> 00:11:50,244
Do you think maybe it's because
you've been conditioned
325
00:11:50,245 --> 00:11:51,784
to believe in a white power structure?
326
00:11:51,785 --> 00:11:53,864
Just let me enjoy a butt.
327
00:11:53,865 --> 00:11:55,784
Here is the first one.
328
00:11:55,785 --> 00:11:58,164
Hmm? Take a look.
329
00:11:58,165 --> 00:12:00,034
All right? Okay.
330
00:12:00,035 --> 00:12:03,494
What identifying details do you remember
331
00:12:03,495 --> 00:12:04,664
that might help the police?
332
00:12:04,665 --> 00:12:06,034
He had a white T-shirt!
333
00:12:06,035 --> 00:12:06,955
He had black hair!
334
00:12:06,956 --> 00:12:08,034
I missed it!
335
00:12:08,035 --> 00:12:13,114
Okay, well, then here is another one.
336
00:12:13,115 --> 00:12:14,204
- Hmm?
- Oh, come...
337
00:12:14,205 --> 00:12:16,034
Okay, what do you remember?
338
00:12:16,035 --> 00:12:17,114
He was in a car.
339
00:12:17,115 --> 00:12:19,454
Okay, but what about him?
340
00:12:19,455 --> 00:12:21,534
Uh, height? Eye color?
341
00:12:21,535 --> 00:12:22,784
Race?
342
00:12:22,785 --> 00:12:23,785
Uh-huh. Yeah, excuse me.
343
00:12:23,786 --> 00:12:26,164
W-Why is race important?
344
00:12:26,165 --> 00:12:27,404
Oh, no.
345
00:12:27,405 --> 00:12:32,534
Well, race is an easy way
to identify a person.
346
00:12:32,535 --> 00:12:34,494
Well, it's just, you know, funny
347
00:12:34,495 --> 00:12:37,784
that all your pictures are of black men.
348
00:12:37,785 --> 00:12:39,534
Uh, that's not true, sir.
349
00:12:39,535 --> 00:12:40,664
Oh, really?
350
00:12:40,665 --> 00:12:42,534
Well, you mind if I, uh,
check for myself?
351
00:12:42,535 --> 00:12:44,494
Okay.
352
00:12:44,495 --> 00:12:46,074
Is that your dad?
353
00:12:46,075 --> 00:12:49,864
No, I'm black, so he can't be my dad.
354
00:12:53,205 --> 00:12:53,955
Huh.
355
00:12:55,865 --> 00:12:58,204
Okay, then.
356
00:12:58,205 --> 00:13:00,664
Sir, we have a lot to get done today.
357
00:13:00,665 --> 00:13:03,454
It might be best if you
and your guest leave.
358
00:13:03,455 --> 00:13:07,034
Oh, we are not together,
and I am single.
359
00:13:07,035 --> 00:13:08,244
And hello.
360
00:13:08,245 --> 00:13:09,364
I'm sorry, son.
361
00:13:09,365 --> 00:13:11,574
I don't want you exposed
to a-any of this.
362
00:13:11,575 --> 00:13:13,404
I guess that is my dad.
363
00:13:13,405 --> 00:13:14,954
Let's go, Johan.
364
00:13:14,955 --> 00:13:16,034
Y'all go on and go.
365
00:13:16,035 --> 00:13:17,404
I'mma stay.
366
00:13:22,325 --> 00:13:24,324
What you looking at?
367
00:13:24,325 --> 00:13:26,074
I know. We're so cool.
368
00:13:26,075 --> 00:13:27,364
- And honestly, it fits you so well, too.
- Yeah.
369
00:13:27,365 --> 00:13:28,285
Like...
370
00:13:29,535 --> 00:13:31,615
Just look both ways, you'll be fine.
371
00:13:34,665 --> 00:13:36,204
It's kind of dumb
that we have to stand here
372
00:13:36,205 --> 00:13:37,454
all afternoon.
373
00:13:37,455 --> 00:13:39,074
I mean, kids can cross the street.
374
00:13:39,075 --> 00:13:40,864
They're not blind!
375
00:13:40,865 --> 00:13:42,284
Except for Patrick, but he has an aide.
376
00:13:42,285 --> 00:13:44,164
Yeah, I think you're right.
377
00:13:44,165 --> 00:13:46,034
Ooh! You want to see if these badges
378
00:13:46,035 --> 00:13:47,574
can get us a discount at Pizza Palace?
379
00:13:47,575 --> 00:13:50,244
Mentally, I'm already there.
380
00:13:58,825 --> 00:14:00,244
Santi, you almost got hit!
381
00:14:00,245 --> 00:14:01,904
Why didn't you look both ways?
382
00:14:01,905 --> 00:14:03,324
Because I'm 5!
383
00:14:04,905 --> 00:14:06,034
Just watch where you're going.
384
00:14:06,035 --> 00:14:07,365
Okay, come.
385
00:14:27,325 --> 00:14:29,164
License and registration?
386
00:14:29,165 --> 00:14:30,233
Mm.
387
00:14:31,365 --> 00:14:33,744
Most black people have a sibling,
388
00:14:33,745 --> 00:14:35,244
a cousin, or a friend
389
00:14:35,245 --> 00:14:37,164
who has been hurt by the police.
390
00:14:37,165 --> 00:14:40,324
So, even though their job
is to protect and serve,
391
00:14:40,325 --> 00:14:45,364
what so many of us
feel around them is fear.
392
00:14:45,365 --> 00:14:46,824
Stay safe tonight.
393
00:14:46,825 --> 00:14:49,204
Absolutely. Thank you, officer.
394
00:14:55,455 --> 00:14:57,704
Okay, well, I had a pretty rough day,
395
00:14:57,705 --> 00:15:00,364
so I'd like to hear something positive.
396
00:15:00,365 --> 00:15:02,244
How did you kids change the world today?
397
00:15:02,245 --> 00:15:03,954
Oh, well, we should start with Rainbow!
398
00:15:03,955 --> 00:15:06,954
I almost got hit by a car!
399
00:15:06,955 --> 00:15:09,494
And then Rainbow was such a good patrol
400
00:15:09,495 --> 00:15:11,404
that she saved me.
401
00:15:11,405 --> 00:15:14,324
- It was nothing.
- Doesn't sound like nothing.
402
00:15:14,325 --> 00:15:15,744
You should be proud, Rainbow.
403
00:15:15,745 --> 00:15:17,954
You followed the rules,
you did all the right things,
404
00:15:17,955 --> 00:15:20,074
and because of you, everyone is safe.
405
00:15:20,075 --> 00:15:21,614
I was just doing my job.
406
00:15:21,615 --> 00:15:23,074
Johan, do you want to go?
407
00:15:23,075 --> 00:15:24,494
Mine's not as fun.
408
00:15:24,495 --> 00:15:26,494
- Are you okay, Johan?
- No.
409
00:15:26,495 --> 00:15:28,704
Dad got me kicked out of Cop Camp.
410
00:15:28,705 --> 00:15:31,164
W-What? You...
411
00:15:31,165 --> 00:15:32,284
Paul... Paul, what did you do?
412
00:15:32,285 --> 00:15:34,664
They were playing a racist game
413
00:15:34,665 --> 00:15:36,284
of "Which Black Guy Did It?"
414
00:15:36,285 --> 00:15:38,494
and they didn't like
that I pointed that out.
415
00:15:38,495 --> 00:15:41,164
Mostly because I was
kinda wrong about it.
416
00:15:41,165 --> 00:15:42,778
But, uh, so that's how
I changed the world today.
417
00:15:42,803 --> 00:15:43,744
Let's eat.
418
00:15:43,745 --> 00:15:46,574
I'm already eating. Life is too short.
419
00:15:46,575 --> 00:15:48,926
I thought I explained
why I wanted him in that camp.
420
00:15:48,951 --> 00:15:50,411
I-I know, but, honey,
421
00:15:50,436 --> 00:15:53,164
I thought what
they were teaching was wrong.
422
00:15:53,165 --> 00:15:54,864
Okay, but our kids
don't have the privilege
423
00:15:54,865 --> 00:15:56,164
of picking and choosing
424
00:15:56,165 --> 00:15:57,534
what rules they like or don't like.
425
00:15:57,535 --> 00:15:59,460
Yeah, I know, but we should
teach them how to fight...
426
00:15:59,485 --> 00:16:00,439
Of course.
427
00:16:00,464 --> 00:16:02,404
But we should also be
teaching them how to be safe.
428
00:16:02,405 --> 00:16:04,454
But there... there...
there has to be a better way.
429
00:16:04,455 --> 00:16:06,284
If you have one, I'd love to hear it.
430
00:16:06,285 --> 00:16:07,404
Well, for starters,
431
00:16:07,405 --> 00:16:08,994
we could keep our son
away from the cops.
432
00:16:08,995 --> 00:16:11,114
You know that's impossible
when you look like us.
433
00:16:11,115 --> 00:16:12,864
Sometimes the cops pop over to say hi.
434
00:16:12,865 --> 00:16:14,114
Stop being condescending.
435
00:16:14,115 --> 00:16:16,034
I-I... Of course I know...
436
00:16:16,035 --> 00:16:17,574
You might know it intellectually,
437
00:16:17,575 --> 00:16:19,404
but you will never know how it feels
438
00:16:19,405 --> 00:16:20,954
to do everything right
439
00:16:20,955 --> 00:16:22,704
and still be seen as nothing more
440
00:16:22,705 --> 00:16:23,937
than the color of your skin,
441
00:16:23,962 --> 00:16:27,114
which is why I decide
how to protect our black kids.
442
00:16:27,115 --> 00:16:28,284
No, I know you're not saying...
443
00:16:28,285 --> 00:16:29,704
That I might know
444
00:16:29,705 --> 00:16:30,994
a little bit more than you about this?
445
00:16:30,995 --> 00:16:33,994
- Mm-hmm. So let me handle it.
- No. No way.
446
00:16:33,995 --> 00:16:36,034
If I don't understand something,
then teach me.
447
00:16:36,035 --> 00:16:37,994
But you don't get to tell me
not to parent my son.
448
00:16:37,995 --> 00:16:39,284
Paul, there is no way I'm...
449
00:16:39,285 --> 00:16:40,704
I-I'm sorry!
450
00:16:40,705 --> 00:16:43,744
I'm sorry I wanted to go to Cop Camp.
451
00:16:43,745 --> 00:16:45,244
Just stop fighting.
452
00:16:52,075 --> 00:16:54,994
Did I mention I almost got killed today?
453
00:17:00,900 --> 00:17:02,257
Hey.
454
00:17:02,325 --> 00:17:03,614
Hey.
455
00:17:03,615 --> 00:17:04,784
Can we talk?
456
00:17:05,113 --> 00:17:06,823
Of course.
457
00:17:09,665 --> 00:17:11,164
I got pulled over tonight.
458
00:17:11,165 --> 00:17:12,534
What?
459
00:17:12,535 --> 00:17:14,284
Are you okay?
460
00:17:14,285 --> 00:17:16,904
I am now.
461
00:17:16,905 --> 00:17:18,664
It was just a routine traffic stop.
462
00:17:18,665 --> 00:17:21,364
But when those sirens came on,
my body tensed up.
463
00:17:21,365 --> 00:17:23,204
I started sweating.
464
00:17:23,205 --> 00:17:25,574
I gripped the steering wheel so tight,
465
00:17:25,575 --> 00:17:29,614
I could feel my nails
digging into my palms.
466
00:17:29,615 --> 00:17:32,864
I don't want Johan
to ever go through that.
467
00:17:32,865 --> 00:17:35,904
Neither do I.
468
00:17:35,905 --> 00:17:37,664
So how do we protect him from that
469
00:17:37,665 --> 00:17:39,704
while also not hiding him
from the truth?
470
00:17:39,705 --> 00:17:42,744
You know, we... we could just
put the kids up for adoption.
471
00:17:42,745 --> 00:17:44,244
Life would be so much easier.
472
00:17:47,285 --> 00:17:53,744
There are 1,893 days
before Johan turns 16.
473
00:17:53,745 --> 00:17:54,864
That's how long we have
474
00:17:54,865 --> 00:17:57,034
before he's driving on the road.
475
00:17:57,035 --> 00:17:59,614
And honestly, it scares me.
476
00:17:59,615 --> 00:18:03,034
It scares me, too.
477
00:18:03,035 --> 00:18:06,324
So, what do we do?
478
00:18:06,325 --> 00:18:08,824
Well, maybe the best thing
for us to do is everything.
479
00:18:08,825 --> 00:18:10,454
Let Johan follow his dreams
480
00:18:10,455 --> 00:18:13,164
and enjoy his time
with the officers at camp,
481
00:18:13,165 --> 00:18:15,784
but also make sure that
he's not naive to the world.
482
00:18:15,785 --> 00:18:17,284
Mm-hmm.
483
00:18:17,285 --> 00:18:18,324
And pray.
484
00:18:19,535 --> 00:18:20,994
We can always pray.
485
00:18:30,615 --> 00:18:32,994
After I almost let my sister die,
486
00:18:32,995 --> 00:18:35,284
I saw that I really needed
to be a better safety.
487
00:18:35,285 --> 00:18:36,864
Freeze!
488
00:18:36,865 --> 00:18:38,284
Hey, Freshquire.
489
00:18:38,285 --> 00:18:40,324
You can do this. You have skinny arms.
490
00:18:40,325 --> 00:18:42,824
Yeah, see if you can reach up
and grab a Pepsi.
491
00:18:42,825 --> 00:18:44,614
No, there are rules for a reason,
492
00:18:44,615 --> 00:18:46,364
and it's my job to enforce them.
493
00:18:50,825 --> 00:18:53,404
Wait, you're being serious?
494
00:18:53,405 --> 00:18:55,664
From now on, I'm only serious.
495
00:18:55,665 --> 00:18:57,114
Freshquire has left the building.
496
00:18:59,405 --> 00:19:02,034
I learned that, as cliché as it is,
497
00:19:02,035 --> 00:19:05,284
with great power
comes great responsibility...
498
00:19:05,285 --> 00:19:08,404
a responsibility greater than any title.
499
00:19:12,365 --> 00:19:14,292
Hey, sweetie. Can we talk?
500
00:19:15,615 --> 00:19:17,364
I know you're mad at us.
501
00:19:17,365 --> 00:19:19,904
We get it.
502
00:19:19,905 --> 00:19:21,144
I'm not mad.
503
00:19:21,169 --> 00:19:23,744
It's called the police code of silence.
504
00:19:23,745 --> 00:19:26,164
Shoot. I just broke it.
505
00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:29,704
I know I should've been supportive
506
00:19:29,705 --> 00:19:31,074
in something that you wanted to do.
507
00:19:31,075 --> 00:19:33,664
And I know I said
that all cops were bad,
508
00:19:33,665 --> 00:19:34,994
but maybe I was doing the thing
509
00:19:34,995 --> 00:19:36,954
that I've always
taught you guys not to do...
510
00:19:36,955 --> 00:19:38,534
stereotyping people.
511
00:19:38,535 --> 00:19:40,954
So you wouldn't be mad
if I became a cop?
512
00:19:40,955 --> 00:19:42,954
Oh, buddy,
513
00:19:42,955 --> 00:19:45,074
I would love to have people
come up to me and say,
514
00:19:45,075 --> 00:19:46,954
"I just met a really cool cop!"
515
00:19:46,955 --> 00:19:49,614
And I'd say, "I bet he was my son.
516
00:19:49,615 --> 00:19:50,535
Was he barefoot?"
517
00:19:51,865 --> 00:19:54,164
You'd be an amazing cop.
518
00:19:54,165 --> 00:19:56,454
You just have to promise us
when you get your badge,
519
00:19:56,455 --> 00:19:59,324
you'll stay the same
compassionate, caring young man
520
00:19:59,325 --> 00:20:00,494
we're talking to right now.
521
00:20:00,495 --> 00:20:01,784
I promise.
522
00:20:01,785 --> 00:20:03,244
That's good.
523
00:20:03,245 --> 00:20:07,164
Because unfortunately,
not all of them are.
524
00:20:07,165 --> 00:20:08,994
And that's something
we need to talk about.
525
00:20:11,245 --> 00:20:13,534
And while the cops have a responsibility
526
00:20:13,535 --> 00:20:16,284
to uphold the law
and apply it without bias,
527
00:20:16,285 --> 00:20:18,494
parents can't just rely on that.
528
00:20:18,495 --> 00:20:22,034
Not when they're raising
a black boy in America.
529
00:20:23,865 --> 00:20:26,074
I know because I have three.
530
00:20:26,075 --> 00:20:28,324
I'm one of many mothers
that pray every day
531
00:20:28,325 --> 00:20:31,614
that we never get that dreaded call.
532
00:20:31,615 --> 00:20:35,034
Even though Johan didn't end up
becoming a police officer,
533
00:20:35,035 --> 00:20:37,404
he's what the system needs more of.
534
00:20:37,405 --> 00:20:39,744
And there are those cops out there.
535
00:20:39,745 --> 00:20:42,904
Cops who value human life,
536
00:20:42,905 --> 00:20:44,614
not just white human life.
537
00:20:44,615 --> 00:20:48,534
And there are cops who
recognize the need for change
538
00:20:48,535 --> 00:20:50,075
and become the change we need.
539
00:20:53,955 --> 00:20:54,955
Hey, fellas.
540
00:20:54,956 --> 00:20:56,494
I put together a little something
541
00:20:56,495 --> 00:20:58,074
to thank you for all your hard work.
542
00:20:58,075 --> 00:21:00,704
I'm also a woman in uniform.
543
00:21:07,075 --> 00:21:09,664
"I'm nosey, but in a fun way."
544
00:21:10,745 --> 00:21:12,114
"I'm not afraid of a little mess."
545
00:21:13,785 --> 00:21:15,494
"I like to be hands on."
546
00:21:16,665 --> 00:21:18,372
"Get ready for some turbulence."
547
00:21:19,953 --> 00:21:22,246
"It was at this point
I was asked to leave my job."
548
00:21:26,271 --> 00:21:31,271
