A guilty pleasure of mine is the bodycam footage channels on YouTube, its surprising how negatively/self-defeating some people react to police interactions. I steer clear of channels that have serious harm to the suspects, shootings and whatnot, but my job has me interact frequently with intoxicated or distressed community members and seeing how they process stressful situations is interesting.
These channels are copaganda but still, somewhat enjoyable and some deescalation techniques police use when employed gently have helped me with setting boundaries in customer interactions. I also feel like learning what not to do when interacting with police is helpful for me if I ever get pulled over, etc. Midwest Safety and Lens of Law are two that are more ethically run and primarily use FOIA requested bodycam footage.
Step 1: don't be black or brown
Step 2: be rich
Step 3: if you are incapable of steps 1 and 2, be as stupidly polite as possible even if they get rough and hope they don't shut off their body cams as they beat you half to death for "resisting arrest"
