On the Media: Real Police Shootings

My talking points on the story, identifying basic meaning.

• "The public wants to be comforted by the historic cop who always makes the right decision." Generally that's why most movies try and make their cops always look like the good guys. 
• Hollywood tries to make any police shooting be good and not show that a cop can be emotional or unprepared because if that then becomes the generality of filming with cops we might feel a little anxious about their role in our society
• There is a question to how hollywood responds to police involved shootings recorded and posted online which looks nothing like on the screen. How does the entertainment adapt to real life shootings?

My position on the story providing a supporting or opposing argument supported with evidence. 

I don't believe the entertainment industry or high production quality movies will adapt much to what real police shootings are like, because no one wants to watch a cop be emotionally distressed unless if it's part of the character and the show happens to be a comedy. It all depends on the context of the story and film. I do recognize that they do have to be careful with what they produce because police shootings is a sensitive topic.

 The issue I see is how to lower the police shootings. I'm not sure how the entertainment industry can help. I did stumble upon this video produced by a popular youtuber who gave his voice concerning the subject. Even though what he says may not have much veracity depending on how much he has researched himself his view does have good points to consider the viewer to research themselves. If you don't feel like watching the whole video I understand you could just skip to the 5:00 mark.

With some other research that I found if we were to have more police that were women many of the situations that involve police shootings could easily be dissolved.

 "Subsequent studies have reached the same conclusions: In a 1988 article in the Journal of Police Science and Administration researcher Joseph Balkin reviewed the U.S. and international research spanning 14 years on the involvement of women in police work. He found uniformly that women not only perform the job of policing effectively, but are better able to defuse potentially violent situations: “Policemen see police work as involving control through authority,” he wrote, “while policewomen see it as a public service.”" Policewomen
