Satirical Action Figure Video Sums Up Police Behavior
YouTube comedy channel Above Average really nails police behavior in this hilarious (but depressing) parody of an 80s-style action figure commercial.
From the video:
“Team up your new bad cop duo with the District Attorney to make sure your cops never get indicted!”
“Your honor, he felt threatened.”
“Case dismissed!”
“Justice is served.”
The above satirical exchange echos the events of many recent police shootings, like Atlanta cop Thomas Atzert, who shot a man witnesses say was fleeing from his beating. The video also touches on police militarization, and the silence of “good cops” who take no action to stop police abuse.
