[@charlesfrench394]

People in the comment section always miss the point of the argument and instead bring up political debates that are irrelevant to the subject matter of the video. What this guy's main point is is to say that there is a difference between the aggressive warrior mindset and the defensive guardian mindset. He is using the example of the Walmart trip as an example of how the warrior mindset made him get pissed off and its understandable, with or without the disabled kid in a wheelchair the guy in sunglasses was being a jackass but had not necessarily violated any laws. It is probably a more natural reaction of humans to have the warrior mindset, what he is trying to ask for is people as well as cops to take a minute to calm down and assess the true nature of a situation before making any hasty decisions.

My truck broke down a few days ago and a police officer stopped to see if I was okay. I have been having problems with stalling and I told him, it needs to cool down then I can drive it home (He arrived after it had cooled down and I had gone for a walk) he correctly guessed the year of the truck, said his brother in law had the same truck, and actually called his brother in law who had the same problem, and told me what his brother in law did to fix his truck! Above and beyond, a totally nice guy, and went out of his way to help me. Show respect and you will get respect.

[@linguinivonbreadstick3289]

Dave Wolf show respect to a decent cop and you will get respect. Your fallacy here is assuming that most cops are like the one you encountered. Also, for the many bad ones, your skin colour will make a huge difference in the way you are treated by a cop. Still, thanks for pointing out that there are decent cops out there. In these trying times it’s nice to hear of the occasional cop being a genuinely good person and proving worthy of the badge. I’m happy you had a good experience with this one.

[@sinequanon5586]

To quote the Supreme Court in Mapp v Ohio (1961), "Nothing can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws, or worse, its disregard of the charter of its own existence. As Mr. Justice Brandeis, dissenting, said in Olmstead v. United States: "Our Government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. . . . If the Government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy." If our "society mindset" is growing out of control, we can place the responsibility for that mindset squarely on the shoulders of the police and their "warrior mindset". Everybody knows that if you kick a dog long enough, he WILL bite you.

@@warhawk8372 PTSD is incredibly common in cops. It's very unlikely any cop can be on active duty for more than a few years WITHOUT developing signs and symptoms of PTSD. Unfortunately, the "system" either refuses to recognize it or deliberately downplays it, mocks it, or calls it a "weakness" to the point that the vast majority of cops do not seek help even though they desperately need it and as a result, there are very few studies on the subject. They instead might turn to drugs, alcohol, or both, they may become wife beaters and suspect beaters, in too many cases, they commit suicide. Last year the number of cops who committed suicide was greater than the number who died in the line of duty, by any cause. PTSD is not a weakness. It is a job-related hazard that needs to be addressed now.

Even in my country, I am saddened by the people who are opposed to the Police and other service members, without realizing the true sacrifices and dedication on what it means to be a member of service. Civilian or otherwise, it is our duty to live ethical, moral and responsible lives, and as I believe, as do many others, to serve and assist one another. Whether or not I become a service member, I will strive to be a member of service. To aim to attain and maintain the high Moral standards, Ethical Character, Dutiful Obligation, Considation, and Integrity that I believe is needed to by all Police officers, and all exemplary citizens.

[@zencop]

Honestly, you are right about the ideals that need to be embraced, but wrong in claiming that these are not part of the "Warrior Mindset". I have fancied myself a student of warriorship for many years and the very ideals you are describing have always been a part of warriorship. You are misrepresenting what a Warrior is, and then taking the warrior traits and relabeling them as "Guardians" when they are the same thing. Warriors aren't necessarily "at war with someone". Just because the words share a common linguistic root does not mean that you must have one with the other. (Do "State Police" mean that it's a "Police state"?) Warriors are prepared to fight for a cause if needed though, and they are prepared to fight because they believe in that cause. Outside of "the battle" however, warriors are supposed to be noble and honourable members of society. Throughout history, "warriors" have followed a code of good conduct and morality. The bushido code of the samurai and the medieval codes of chivalry, while often retrospectively romanticized, are just two examples of major "warrior codes" that included significant components that were about civil conduct and service that was separate and unrelated to any of the violent services that they could be called upon to perform at times. The problem is not with the "Warrior Mentality", but with the incomplete observance of true warriorship that has been embraced by some in either their conduct as "warriors" or in their views and understanding of the "warriors" in their society. We don't need more semantics. As much as language has power, the changing of labels may allow you to rebrand an age-old (and already practiced) concept to sell books and lecture/seminar seats but it will do little to address the issues.

[@MothaLuva]

Sergio Díaz Nila Bullet proof warrior to me means proof that a (certain) bullet will surely penetrate.

[@linguinivonbreadstick3289]

S Kinghorn you do know that the meaning of a word can often change over time, right? What ‘warrior’ means today is not the same as it meant centuries ago. Today’s “Warrior Mentality” is not the kind you’re talking about - hence why something like Guardian, Protector, or Steward would be more apt for the values you’re espousing. Although if you want to reclaim the term ‘warrior’, go right ahead - it would be great if we, as a society, still had the warrior code, but we don’t. The way Crisp is using the terminology is correct as it relates to police training - this guy did not ‘rebrand’ it, it had already been rebranded.

[@johnclay2664]

Kinghorn, I am so glad to see this comment. The warrior mindset is just as you describe it. I have tried to live by the warrior mentality for all my career and it is not always being ready to fight. It is a mentality of serving those in need also.

Protecting constitutional rights is how that enforcement is accomplished.

Warriors are not people who at 'war' with someone or something. Warriors, were politicians, philosophers, law enforcement and protectors. As Law enforcement we adopted this title, if you will, because Warriors were a part of the community and were the community. We handled situations in our community, to improve the lives of those within our community and when someone threatened harm to our community, we stopped at nothing to protect our community. This 'warrior' mindset needing to change and solely for 'tactical' situations, means we have only taught that mindset for those situations. In reality, we must continue to teach the 'warrior' mindset and expand upon the true meaning of it.

Personal accountability - google the Washington post article on misconduct by police. Quick summary, they requested the data of misconduct lawsuits and payments from 25 police forces. Note there are 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the US. Looking at 10 years of data from just these, the total payout was $3.5bn. Shockingly, when looking at those responsible, there were 1200 officers who were responsible for 5 or more each, and of those, some 200 officers were responsible for 10 or more EACH. How much accountability can there be when these officers are just continuing to work and not being fired. This was from just 25 forces, 1200 officers with misconduct issues, repeatedly, STILL on the job. Now extrapolate that to 18,000 agencies and how many officers does that make? 100,000? 500,000? going out every single day, with a very good likelihood that they are going to abuse their position, abuse people's rights, or even worse, kill someone. What is needed isn't a change of mindset, it is complete reform. Weed out ALL of the bad apples, remove blanket immunity, and introduce proper sanctions for officers that fail to meet the right standards, and also address the training deficiencies and have proper training suitable for someone in that job. It takes far more hours to qualify as a beautician than it does a police officer, that simple can't be appropriate, yet it is true.

Strikes me as a good man who has not been completely consumed by the politics of his position, but he has forgotten some very key aspects of where he came from in 17 years of sitting behind a desk. In particular the comments about how we spend so much time training officers for what supposedly amounts to “5-10% “ of our job. Go to the officer down memorial page at look at that 5-10% of our job. The lack of training in that “5-10%” is a huge part of the job that gets many officers killed every year and most agency’s training provided to officers to protect themselves as well as those who they are sworn to protect is substandard at best. It is interesting that these skill we supposedly spend so much time training on, for situations that according to the chief here rarely happen, is the exact type of situation that nearly took the life of his father and his father’s partner. And the best example of the warrior mindset he could come up with is a handicap parking violation? Thats pathetic. Clearly he dies not understand the warrior mindset and it’s relation to protecting the public. As a 13 year vet, shift commander, and instructor I can say with some confidence that the lack of training is directly responsible for many of the high profile police incidents we see around the nation. We train our officers to pass a qualification on a flat range shooting at paper targets and nothing more. Most agencies dont even have hand to hand combat training, stress inoculation, or problem solving training that would, in some if not many cases, avoid a lethal encounter. Officers are given minimal training at basement bargain prices and we wonder how situations escalate and end badly. And the comment about “officers being ambushed as retribution for acts.” Shame on you chief. There is a reason he didn’t finish that statement. Because it does not stand up to scrutiny.

poorly worded. A warrior is not just a person who is "at war". A warrior, as it relates to LE work, is simply someone who is WILLING to go to battle and overcome should the need arise. Someone who is taking on the job that is, many times, warrior centric. Does that mean they are overbearing and overjealous with violence? Absolutely NOT! Please do not demonize the term as it will be the detriment of many officers. If you cannot be a warrior you have no business being in LE. And let's be clear, there is just as much training in dealing with people, talking with people and de-escalation as there is in firearms training. is there perhaps more in tactical training, YES! Because there needs to be as your life is in jeopardy. In any case, this is a very dangerous idea to try and impose on those putting their lives on the line everyday. Just my humble opinion.

Society now believes people should call the police and Officer Friendly for everything including there kid not wanting to go to school, landlord issues and countless other problems like flat tires Chief. Let police do there fundamental job which is Law Enforcement! Period.

You are the problem.

[@mccoybyz1099]

The community members are not law enforcements partners, they are the employers!

[@mrbeandip711]

I don’t really get the touchy-feelies out of this. It’s not the training that makes cops hardened. It’s the mileage. You can change the mindset and the training but you can’t change the scenery. Good luck brassholes, see if this sell out your cops mindset works out.

More dangerous to be a roofer, fisherman, loggers, aircraft pilots and many more are far more dangerous than l.e.o.. Sorry to break it to you "warriors".

This is a misrepresentation of the warrior mindset. Yes, a warrior is a man/woman of war; however, war is more than just physical combat on immediate threats. Being a warrior also means using proper use of force in certain situations. For example, shooting someone for stealing some candy is not an appropriate response. That's overkill, no pun intended. Instead, speak to the person. The main duty of a warrior is to return peace to an area and then safeguard it through appropriate means. Speak and guide when you can; do not utilize brutal methods until you have exhausted every other resource.

“A soldier does not fight because he hates what is in front of him but because he loves what is behind him.” - G. K. Chesterton “To those who have fought for us freedom has a taste the protected will never know, to those who have lost it freedom has a taste that the protected will never appreciate.” - Edwin L. Craft I know that's what depresses me, these cops are trained in military style warfare. It's not supposed to be used in an urban environment, but we gave them the training, heavily armored vehicles, automatic rifles, and in some units more deadly armaments, and we set them loose in downtown USA to engage us in WAR? This Idea of Ready, Fire, Aim, then we will justify it later, it’s beginning to make me sick to my stomach. That’s all I’m getting infuriated at! I get approached like this I will mace this individual and take him down. I may get arrested in the end i may even get charged with a crime, I might even break some bones on the man I do not care my PTSD is being triggered just by watching this man's actions. I’m practiced in deadly force and I WILL USE IT WITHOUT RESTRAINT!!! So, get control of him or he will DIE!!!

[@JackiePhillipsTheSocialPet]

Is this guy getting paid or doing it for free? He should be doing it for free. This is from 2016 and not relevant. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and I can run through the jurisdiction of 10 agencies in a single day and never once have a single problem because I don't break the law. None of this is true today and is just to get this guy out of the office. Don't break the law, people, and you won't have a problem with the police.

[@JackiePhillipsTheSocialPet]

What type of agency did this guy run? Try working in an urban city anywhere in the US and then you will see reality.

[@jimmiegoins2670]

This is the reason I don’t watch Ted Talks smh... This is way off base. This is a chief who has been off the road so long that he believes what the news says. Most Leo’s go above and beyond everyday, he needs to do more working side by side with his officers. This chief has missed the mark by a mile.

[@MrJramos2002]

yes but officer need the training to serve the community, it should be their first priority. U treat your community w respect n when you need them they be there for you. I have offer asst to officers while on the road, n their response was to mind my own bussiness, or rudedly tell me to move on, they need to listen to the community.

[@WillyWillis1965]

[@thelastmiddleclass2490]

Listen jack, in get you made 100k plus as a chief. I also get that you have NO idea what street cops do in a day. I'd love to debate you one day. You talk about training, you talk service, but you fail to talk about pay, staffing, call volume, how departments can't even select a report writing program, let alone a community policing program. Go ahead and compare the 1960 cop to 2018. I'll crush you on the stage.
