A vital and influential exploration of the rapid militarization of the police in the United States. Do Not Resist puts viewers in the center of the action — from inside a police training seminar that teaches the importance of "righteous violence" to the floor of a congressional hearing on the proliferation of military equipment in small-town police departments. Winner, Best Documentary Feature Award, 2016 Tribeca Film Festival.

This was on a few days ago, I just got around to watching it and was very disappointed. It’s all video clips with no narration or explanation; the clips sure seem selected to make LEOs look bad. It starts out with Ferguson and keeps going back there, but makes no effort to dispel the “Hand up don’t shoot” lie. Then it has a clip from a Dave Grossman seminar, showing how he tells cops to use – gasp! - VIOLENCE! Other clips mock PDs for buying surplus DoD vehicles.


The link below has the 1:10 feature “Do Not Resist.” I taped that and it was followed by an interview with the film maker which I quickly turned off. Watch for yourself, but I recommend low expectations:

I saw it on the program listings the other night, the synopsis said it was about the militarization of the police. What, if the cops have such weaponry, you better not resist them? I was under the impression that was always a good idea not to resist so I didn't watch the show.

It is no secret that PBS is just another leftie propaganda outfit. This really doesn’t surprise me.

What did you expect? It’s PBS (Primarily Bull Shit) network; they ALWAYS have a leftist-political angle in ALL of their “documentaries”.

Exactly my thoughts. However, I did like the Dave Grossman sections.

These leftist assholes have been sucking up nearly one-half billion dollars of federal tax money each year.
Hopefully The Donald will soon cut that shit out. Read more about it here.

Well, it is Welfare TV. What would you expect.

I didn’t realize this. Along with weekly begging of its viewers to donate $100 dollars for a free gift of a DVD of Peter Coyote’s latest liberal narration? Wow...
