[@ackamack101]

17:48 I played this in high school band but I can't remember what it is. A march or an overture?

[@hello855]

This is exactly what community policing looks like. We need more of this today.

I think the best part was seeing all of the "modern" technology specifically the Spectrograph. It was hardly the best technological advances for the 50's because it had been around for some 75 odd years prior to the making of this video.

do police officers still go through a probation period ?

[@bassmaster1231]

Yes, usually a year to a year and a half of probationary period where you can be terminated easily if you are not a proper fit for the job.

Did officers fight instead of guns of fist fight like now says

[@Man-dd7fd]

No they used guns back then, police officers were always armed

[@roscoefoofoo]

Little did they know the riot, ruin, rubble, and endless spiral downward that was just 16 years away. And the collapse of the American automobile industry, country-wide.

2:52 "Destructive mobs" that was their way of pointing out the 'peaceful protestors' back then, diversity has always been a problem, and police never needed that training when we lacked it. This was the slow build of the militarization of the police, which would ramp up rapidly as areas became less white.
