Part of this channel's purpose is to show the realities of U.S. law enforcement. We present calls that are not covered elsewhere and we present them in their entirety, preferring reality to hyperbole and pursuing the truth, whatever it shows. If your knowledge of law enforcement was solely derived from the news you would be surprised to find police officers doing things that don't involve shooting or tasing people. "If it bleeds, it leads" works great for selling the news, but its consequence is a fundamental disconnect between the popular impression of reality and reality itself. According to a recent Pew Research Center national survey, many Americans believe that it is common for police officers to fire their guns. Roughly three-in-ten adults estimate that police officers fire their weapons "a few times a year while on duty," and more than eight-in-ten — 83% — estimate that the typical police officer has fired their service weapon at least once in their career, in the field (outside of training or on a range). In fact, an overwhelming majority of police officers have never fired their gun while on duty. A 2016 Pew Research Center survey found that only 27% of all officers say they have ever fired their service weapon while on the job. That survey was conducted among a nationally representative sample of nearly 8,000 sworn officers working in 54 police and sheriff’s departments with 100 or more officers. Bringing the conversation away from shootings and toward the more mundane, State troopers tend to have a reputation for writing tickets, making arrests, and giving relatively few warnings. Watch as one New Mexico Department of Public Safety trooper bucks the trend, in this sub-two-minute traffic stop. This is not unusual. You just don't see it. ~~~ Want to help make Real World Police happen and get rewarded for it? Become a supporter on Patreon today!
