A comment on Newark cops, with reform, didn't fire a single shot in 2020.

Some time ago, I watched Frontline's "Policing the Police" episode that featured Newark and Baraka's efforts. The episode was fairly early in their process (2016), and does a nice job of framing up both the problem, and how they intended to solve it. Jelani Cobb hosts it. He does a ride-along, and somewhat incredibly, sees the problems first hand...despite the cops he's riding with knowing full well he's filming everything.

It's on youtube [1]. They released another documentary with the same name and the same Newark subject with 2020 updates [2]. They both have the same duration but are different.

[1] Policing the Police (2016)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_8vTl6D940

[2] Policing the Police (2020)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taNwWilMVLg

Both come with optional English subtitles.

Can't edit above comment. Invidious to the rescue [1]. Just enable 'proxy videos' in settings (circle icon).

Extra confusing that they share a lot of footage. The 2020 release is an update more than a new work.

I guess it's US only? Can't access from EU.

Confirmed, can't access it from Canada, but with a VPN to the US, it's available.

Who makes these choices?

It’s similar to the BBC blocking non-UK streamers.

The BBC is not free though.

Neither is PBS. It’s funded through grants, donations and government funding via the Corporation for Public Broadcasting[0]

Right, but even to endusers, the BBC isn't free, unlike PBC.

The BBC is free. There's no charge to use the BBC.

There's a TV licence, but that's payable if you watch any live tv as it's broadcast.

Or iPlayer. Really consuming any BBC media requires a TV license legally.

You do need a licence if you watch any tv live as it's broadcast, or BBC iPlayer.

But you'd need a licence if you only ever watch Channel 4 and never watched any BBC content. The licence is not tied to BBC content - you don't need a licence to use the website or listen to BBC sounds or use BBC radio.

The licence is tied to watching live tv as it's broadcast or BBC iPlayer.

I didn't even know YouTube did this.

On the off chance PBS allows access outside the US: https://player.pbs.org/widget/partnerplayer/2365792793/

Works for me, also EU.

Use torsocks and youtube-dl to circumvent your region blocking.
