Summary:
In this video, del Pozo discusses the ethical and moral implications of a case where a police officer shoots a suspect who was about to stab a police dog. He raises questions about the value of life and the morality of using lethal force. Additionally, he discusses George Floyd's murder and the ethical considerations surrounding the treatment of handcuffed suspects. He argues that the state is responsible for their welfare and safety and that there is a need for officers transitioning quickly from a state of aggression to calmness and empathy. Del Pozo also touches on the issue of police privilege and the impact it can have on the treatment of citizens.
