1.0 out of 5 stars
Hit the mute button, March 20, 2010
This review is from: Bad Cops: Volume One (DVD)
First, the video clips are a bit dated. Judging from the makes and models of cars in the clips, the videos are from the early to mid-90s. Camera quality suffers in most clips. The helicopter cameras jump around a lot.
As another reviewer stated, the narration is just absurd and over-the-top. Their bias clearly shows as they leap to conclusions and all but root for the criminals depicted in the clips. In one particularly appalling case, they suggest a criminal is trying to surrender as he steers a large SUV at two officers. when the police officers open fire, the narrators jump all over them by saying the criminal was trying to surrender, had no weapons visible (as if this can be ascertained from several hundred feet in the air), and that shooting was unjustified. Let's think on this a minute...someone is in a car, and after being pursued for some period of time, was steering an SUV towards a police officer. The SUV could be considered a weapon and could hurt, if not kill, a police officer. Yet, according the narrators, the shooting was "clearly unjustified" and "the driver was unarmed".
Do yourself a favor and mute this DVD in its entirety if you buy/rent it.
NOTE: I'm not excusing police brutality by any means. However, the narrators do their cause no justice with this DVD.

Unwatchable, October 28, 2010
This review is from: Bad Cops: Volume One (DVD)
This "documentary" only consists of dated news footage and false narration that viewers are led to believe comes from a news team watching the events live. Garbage like this is only intended to plug holes in the video store shelf. I feel sorry for anyone who wastes any time with this video.

Fake, biased and stupid "narration" in this video, March 11, 2010
This review is from: Bad Cops: Volume One (DVD)
It's been quite some time since I've seen such biased, misinformative and utterly lame attempts to discredit law enforcement. This video manages to it all, and then some.
If it's not the fake helicopter sounds it's the biased "narrators" making false claims/comments to what is happening. They do it to the point that it's immature, stupid, and utter childish.
If you hate cops and want to listen to biased propaganda, by all means. Otherwise avoid this steaming pile of trash.
