So true about the job not backing its people. Being ex job (UK), the way the job treats its people is disgusting. Pandering to the agenda costs more lives. I wish people would remember when there is a terrorist attack and people are running from it. Look at the ones running towards it. Normally they are wearing a badge.

Hey Buck I am a police officer with 22 years on the job. This is the first time I have ever commented on something like this but I felt it needed to be done. Your articulation of what officers go through was spot on. With all the trash talk that is out there it’s nice to hear someone speak to the stress, challenges, and realities we face. Thank you for the support, your service, and entertainment you provide.

Not a police officer, never will be. However, I always respect anybody who attempts/pursues that career. Living in a major city and at one point in the downtown area- the amount of shit officers deal with on a daily basis is unreal. It's not hard to understand when you see it on a regular basis. Much respect.

The whole time the mom is screaming at me, yelling "why won't you save my baby" and hitting me in the back.

I lived in COS for about 5 1/2 of the 10 years I was living in Colorado. I hated going through Denver.

Kinda takes away from the whole thing. The (inert practice) stamp on it is beyond stupid. I wonder how many gang bangers have took a coat hanger full of cheap broken Raven and Jennings stolen pistols or air rifles to one and used the money buy a Mexican AK 47.

Not gonna go into detail but I ended up in a fight for my life last night and that training and extra work I put in is the only reason I’m not much more severely injured or worse and didn’t have to use my service weapon. Still ended up with some bumps and bruises and a little road of recovery ahead of me but I’m just thankful to be holding my daughter right now. Keep up the good work man.

This is definitely an old movie. The actors really date this flick. Being a former "SO" Officer. You nailed it again, with a movie that really depicted a normal work shift. Big Ups for stating the truth about how you are treated inside the wire. You hit the nail on the head, about good officers that may make a mistake, intentionally or unintentionally totally being railroaded by the department. I was thankful to be able to have a "SGT" that attempted to give me a heads up to avoid legal ramifications with certain "Use of Force" situations throughout my tour. This FNG Beers and Breakdowns episode really hit home. Thanks for sharing.

Buck, I’m watching this and just laughing and nodding my head in agreement. I’m retired 3 years after 30 years on the street in Scotland. We might not have the firearm threat on a daily basis but you are absolutely spot on. Your description of all the different types of cops, how you would have a laugh with your Sergeant but not in front of his boss. Having to attend calls in a different beat area cos the other cops had got themselves involved in petty stuff. You can explain it as best as possible but if you’ve never been apart of it, you will never understand.

[@TBendez]

This is probably my favourite so far. Your banter and back-n-forth really sent it home. There are a great number of great take-aways from this, including being prepared for more than just some eventualities at work, being honest with yourself, realising that your threshold of having to use deadly force might not align with everybody elses, etc. Thank you guys!

[@Shadow_Banned_Conservative]

Speaking of banter. I was really looking forward to the breakdown of when the Captain came and congratulated them for a big bust. The "I'm not gay but..." had me cracking up so bad as it reminded me of us messing with new soldiers who arrived at our remote duty station in CA. One poor kid was scared of us for a week before we finally let him know where were messing with him and were all straight. Today, I doubt we'd get away with that kind of "fun".

[@ralphalvarez5465]

Buck, you nailed it brother on this movie. I was on LAPD for 30 years and worked the same area (Newton Division) depicted in this movie. When you talked about the female screaming into the radio, it's something you never forget and you can't run fast enough or drive fast enough to get there. People don't understand the bond between cops. Even if I didn't like another cop, if he called for backup or help it was on. The smell of burning brake pads after going code 6. I appreciate your words because you know what being on the job is about. My Academy classmate had been at Denver for 5 years before joining our Department. At Denver PD, he was in a shooting and killed a suspect who tried to stab him with a knife. He did over 25 years with Los Angeles and he was the real deal. Thank you for trying to explain the difficulties of being a street cop in America. In LA, the high speed capers were stolen cars ("rollers"), gangs, dope and guns. It was called "Elephant Hunting". Someone else commented it was called "White Elephant Hunting." Suggesting that it's rare, but not so. YOU JUST NEED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR! KMA-367 and AATW!

Y’all really nailed policing down. Great conversations about the realities of policing and police. Proactivity, the shitty people and calls you deal with, and sometimes the shitty cops who shouldn’t be on the job but the department won’t fire. Great stuff. Love this movie, the closest any movie has ever gotten to getting the job right. Real life is a lot more of the noise complaint and abused spouses and children and less of the shootings and human trafficking, but if you work long enough in a high crime city you will eventually see all of it.

Best and most accurate cop movie I've ever seen. As a cop who's worked in two different states I've had the ability to see that law enforcement is generally the same across the board. The breakdown of the movie was spot on especially when he was taking about the emotional stress that is place on police. And he was right, you have no time to decompress and you have to move onto the next call and you're back into work the next day.

If you want to serve as a first responder I would go be a fire fighter, it’s what I’ll tell my boys if they want to follow my path when they are older. If you do decide to go for it then more power to you and good luck. Just go in with you eyes open, it’s always been a tough career but it’s next level now. The level of public expectations and scrutiny is crushing. And no, this doesn’t mean I think cops should not be accountable. To the contrary, we should be held to very high standards and disciplined, fired, or prosecuted when appropriate. But as a cop in Honolulu you will own every public fuck up of every cop across the county even though you’re thousands of miles away. Doesn’t matter how good you or your department might be, when then next big screw up hits the knives wilL be out. And there will always be another screw up because we hire from the human race and humans are fallible.

@@robertdonovan3986 I rag on firemen a lot but it really is the way to go. At my agency, the firemen make a little more than us but more importantly, their morale is very high. They eat sleep and workout at work. Not to mention play lots of video games. Their command supports them and they totally stick together when it comes to union stuff. And except for rare serious fires or guys who work with high-rises, it’s not nearly as dangerous as police work. And when they go to the grocery store to shop for dinner, everyone loves them. Ya, they play with hoses and are a little sensitive but it’s still a great profession. As bad as things are with the public, we are our own worst enemy at times. Our supervisors forget where they come from and are always looking to placate the public instead of defending us.

But since Ive taken on a new career path, Ive opened up a bit. Im finding that while people may not understand, there are things you can talk about and help them realize, hey we're human too! Ive also found that it (sometimes) helps people who may have had a bad experience with a firefighter or medic understand why something may have happened the way it did. I still dont tell war stories to just anyone, but if I can help someone see it from another point of view 🤷 Love the channel by the way. Keep up the great work!

14 years on the job (9 in DC, 5 in a county in SC). I blew out my knee last year and the department tossed me aside like a broken toy, so I'm out of the game.... And I am NOT going back, for a lot of the reasons you mentioned in this video. Loved your take on the guys that go out and get proactive but leave the crap runs to other officers. People always ask me what the most realistic cop movie is, and I always say "The Other Guys." It's a perfect depiction of squad dynamics. I knew exactly who the Sam Jackson and the Rock were on my squad, and exactly who the Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell were (because that was me and my partner.) Drove me nuts when those guys would come into service late, already on a traffic stop with an arrest and leave the rest of the crap runs for us. Hated those guys. I mean, they're some of my best friends, of course, but I still hate 'em. And as far as the department fucking you - my partner and I wound up on cell video "gettin' to wreckin"" with a guy on PCP in DC (the video is still up on KZbin, I'm pretty sure) and two days later IAD shows up at my HOUSE (no investigation, nothing) to take my gun and badge in front of my wife. We were eventually cleared, of course, but that's when the wife said "You need to find another job" and we wound up in SC where.... it turns our it really IS the same at every department. You're just a number to the brass, no matter what they tell you.

Had valid arguments, but I have to disagree with them with stating points at 4:14 about the door jam not being cover and why officers take cover behind a door when bullets can go through it. The Crown Vic’s have factory installed ballistic panels that can withstand handgun fire and non armor piercing bullets. Which is a viable option in a gun battle vs retreating from your car to find cover and getting shot. But yes closing the distance in a gun fight while your target it returning gunfire isn’t the best option.

The amount of emotional baggage you can get from one bad call with a family crying and screaming at you is something most will never have to endure. I just never thought about the fact that we don’t just go home to decompress after those calls, we just get ready for the next one.

I'm a good citizen. I never hurt anyone. I always do my best to be as respectful as possible to everyone. No one needs to earn my respect because I give it freely. Cops included. So why the heck MY ENTIRE LIFE I only get disrespect and hostility from cops? I'm 36. I've been making this poll my entire adult life. I ask people whether at any point of time the police had helped them. Not as a critique of police but genuine "scientific" polling. And only TWO people so far told me of two such cases. One where cops gave a lift to someone. And I forgot the other one, sorry. Me? I get stopped. Rudely questioned. Searched. Arrested on suspicion even sometimes! One time they even burned my clothes (or so they said to get DNA evidence). And nothing that was ever stolen from me was returned. Not ONCE police protected me from any kind of violence. It feels literally like police is not there to protect ME. They are out there doing God knows what but protecting me and serving is at least never done to my face! Ever! I'm like an enemy to most of them and I never did or said anything bad! Sean, now, of course, not ALL are like that! You sound like one of the nice ones. Some really do treat me like human being and not just an automatic suspect. But that's like 20% from my experience. Probably because you went through tougher s*** in the army. So you're not as scared by default as others. Oh! Also one more thing! You were talking about departments not protecting their cops. I hear you! And I want to share the civillians point of view so maybe you'll understand us too! Police are given a lot of power. No oher man has authority to be rude to me, ask me probing questions like that, and even just use violence against me and get away with it like a cop. I believe this extra authority must come with extra responsibility. A punishment for a cop making a mistake should be a lot worse than a civillian! Because civillians have no authority! One on one a civvie versus a cop a cop wins! No one will stop you if you decide to beat me up! Who will I call to protect me, other cops? That's why it's only fair if the judicial system counter balances this inequality of power and punishes a police officer more if you make a mistake! Look at it like this. If I get caught giving someone a bad medical advice what can possibly happen? I'm just a relative nobody, who listens to me anyway? But if a doctor gives out a purposefully false medical advice, that's a lot worse! Do you know what I mean?

Why do you think they’re holding off? Just curious

I think Sean said in a previous video he doesn't like watching it because it hits a little close to home, or something like that.

[@anthonymartinez2982]

I’ve been asking them for that for months now there’s no way they don’t see that comment i guess they just don’t wanna do it, but i hear you bro I would love to see their commentary on that one

[@CoffeeFiend1]

It's easy to criticize mistakes in movies and show why they're mistakes. But criticizing mistakes in movies that are based on reality can be awkward when someone died for real even if the depiction only loosely corresponds to the real action. That's likely half the reason, being perceived to speak ill of the dead.

Been on a bender watching your series and thank you for this one. Well done and appreciate all you do giving a true insight...

[@TSPLY]

Hey bro very big fan. I wish I was in my teens again and was able to watch your videos and the advice you give for going Sf and achieving success in the Army. Good stuff brother !

[@Arkady20]

30:00 I love how in the novel "Heat 2" by Michael Mann and Liz Gardiner the detective Vincent Hannah uses the same "probable causse" to get into an apartment where he thinks the suspect is (he's right, by the way) - listens through the door and says that he heard a scream. It proves that the movie and novel ar really realistic. Thanks for the vid, good luck to you both!

[@Chris-Christopher-]

I totally understand the finding stolen cars obsession. That's something that really would have like an easy to measure tangible positive impact. Returning a few cars to every day to people who had their life totally turned upside down probably gives some good feels.

[@snowbear163]

I think we need to acknowledge that the SGT is played by Frank Grillo, AKA God himself. Also, I think the cop stories are even more gripping and interesting than the Army stories.

I honestly would watch a Beers and Breakdown of a Disney film at this point. Any combo of Sean/Abel/Kurt for sure. I know you want to pick films relating to your expertise but I don't care as much. So entertaining!

[@WordToMomsYo]

One of the best B&B's you've ever done.. Excellent work. I wish all of your reviews were this long and in-depth.. but i guess it was the subject matter that really connected for you, Buck.

[@suavesthoughts]

A good cop (I was a cop in both the lovely city...NOT...of San Bernardino, CA, & Aurora, CO) will hear a report call go out in his/her area while on either on a traffic stop, a pedestrian check, lunch, etc, and advise dispatch to hold that call until you clear whatever you're doing. A bad cop might look proactive during shift, but has ZERO beat integrity. A good cop will also try to take care of an officer he/she knows is on their 'Friday' and advise dispatch, if possible, to send that dispatched report call out if your area to you. I hate lazy cops that have ZERO beat integrity. Love you're KZbin channel. Keep it up

[@jackstecker5796]

I worked as a dispatcher back in the day. Small department, usually only two officers on duty. If someone got arrested, that meant I had one guy processing the prisoner, and the other guy on the road flying solo. If things popped off, I had to yell for mutual aid from neighboring departments. It was further complicated because one of the departments was only operational 0800-0000. So, if you got in trouble out there, you're looking at 20-30 minutes before help shows up. Maybe longer.

[@russv4753]

Completely agree with what you guys said. I do armed security and always get asked why I don't become a full sworn officer and I tell them because there's no support if things go side ways and they will. I appreciate everyone who was and currently is a sworn officer for your service given what you all deal with day in day out.

[@nigeltrotter2886]

This was a really informative video on how underappreciated it is to be a cop. Well, the actual good honest ones and yeah, even the ones that have seen too much and get turned into something unrecognizable.

[@aj897]

4:50 It's Michael Pena, not Daniel lol

[@JasonTritschler-ys6bk]

As a paramedic, I have seen all this and more. We are rarely given a break or down time after a horrific call. This is what leads to serious ptsd issues.

[@BadV2]

Not sure if I missed it, but the best parts of this movie was the in-car footage of the bullshitting between calls. Then get to call, handle it and then right back to bullshitting again. True to life, with a good partner.

[@joseduarte8541]

You opened my eyes on a new perspective for cops. Sorry you had to see and experience that stuff.

Outstanding commentary. We go thru more then people think and agencies F us over for any tiny error made and the media turns the stories

[@EddieLeal]

18:19 This is one of my favorite scenes in this movie. The training officer, in his own twisted way, is trying to help these two street cops.There is a backstory to the advice he is giving them which you will find out about when you see this movie.

Some of the best descriptions of the job I've heard!

[@Abe721]

Hey Buck, I have a pressing problem that I have, and would like to see your opinion on. And that's the problem of employment and integrating with civilian life after military service, or in our case here at the FNG academy, after special operations. I've been looking for jobs that are compatible with the skills gained in the 18 series MOS's, and there are so many options and it can be pretty overwhelming on which path to pick, where SOF operators tend to go after they get out etc... How did you tackle this? How did you make your decision? Where have you seen your buddies go after they got out? Any advice? Anything to avoid? How did you address your financial security after your service? I know it's a lot of contingencies, but I'd appreciate anything you have on this aspect of reintegration back to civilian life.

Also, I'd love y'all to react to Saving Private Ryan!

Find a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gym, get that structure and discipline of self improvement in your life and then focus on a skill set that you can profit off of.

I heard you say Cody Donovan and my head almost snapped off. First off I've seen a bunch of videos and somehow I didn't know you were or are Denver based. I met Cody through friends in college and grappled with him a few times on drunk nights (high school wrestler vs jiu jitsu bad ass, couldn't help it) and was unbelievably proud when he made the UFC. Unreal to hear his name come out of your mouth.

[@RobertMorgan]

RE: The 'People hate cops' segment, my sister served on a local Grand Jury and she said it was the most traumatic thing she ever did, because little does most know, a GJ hears ALL the evidence on ALL major cases that come before them. She said it was astounding, terrifying, to see how much child abuse, rape, assault, major drug crime happens in our area, and they'd have to sit through all the officer witness testimony, the physical evidence, they had to watch child exploitation/video/photos on some cases. It changed her knowing all this. And she only had to do that once a week for 6 months, can't imagine seeing all that day in, day out, for years.

[@ericklozada2440]

As a former army mp (never pick that mos) this movie is definitely one of my favorites. Definitely relatable in many ways.

[@mr.k.i.s.s7496]

And "A Combat Veteran" has a Comedic series about MPs. After being one, he was spot on. I found that I liked doing foot patrols and Traffic stops. I did MP RTO at Ft Hood (Got pulled from a line unit at Replacement =/), Armorer, Mail Clerk (lucky me) and TAI. As a TAI, I primarily worked Day Shift because I was low man, so all I did was accidents. Rarely got to be proactive. I wrote fewer tickets than swing shifts and mids, so they rewarded all my hard work on Day shift (including my mail clerk duties, and the fact I was the only one allowed to use NCIC) with a Special Tasking: Abandoned Vehicle Program. I hated that, because in order to fulfill my duties, I had to stay over my normal time and go to parking lots, looking for the obvious signs, and track down a CQ or Staff Duty to make sure it was OK to tag it. Oh, I didn't mind dropping a soldier off at the barracks to save me some Paperwork or them a ticket, because I thought peer pressure was a prime motivator as was the stern look of a Platoon Sergeant. I usually did that at the end of shift or when I had tons of Paperwork to do.
