I have a feeling that I’m not the only one who enjoys watching dashcam videos of police chases while I relax with a cup of tea. The cameras mounted on most police-car dashboards in the United States provide entertaining yet troubling footage for the tea-drinking armchair constable such as myself. Besides these, almost every officer in the country is required to wear a body camera in order to document incidents; the resulting videos can be equally entertaining and informative.
I find these videos to be oddly relaxing, although there are many instances where the action gets quite intense, especially in situations such as when the officers involved are trying to extract a non-compliant hood rat out of a stolen vehicle that he just crashed into a guard rail.
I have noticed a few things while watching these videos. I’m starting to think that the vast majority of criminals who decide to roar off in a stolen Kia Sorento with no regard for the havoc they sow are black. At this point I’ve probably watched hundreds of videos showing officers dealing with blacks in the wild: shopping malls, parking lots, gas stations, suburban streets, housing projects, highways, and so on. I’m thoroughly convinced that most police who have to deal with the most dangerous criminal underclass in North America demonstrate superhuman levels of restraint on a regular basis. Sure, there are some bad apples out there who lose their tempers and find themselves standing tall before the man on some disciplinary charge, but when it comes to local law enforcement and state highway patrol troopers, I’m awed by their ability to stay cool when dealing with the absolute dregs of humanity. There are several channels on YouTube, Rumble, and elsewhere online that are dedicated to posting these videos. I think they are as edifying as they are entertaining — but they are also damning.
Black comedian Chris Rock is an interesting fellow. I suspect that he is secretly a white-hating Black Nationalist of sorts, but I appreciate him for his honesty about certain issues facing the black community. I think it would be tremendously helpful if his video informing black people about how to deal with the police is one of the best educational videos I have ever seen. It should be played on a regular basis for black people so that it’s hammered into their thick skulls: “If the police have to come and get you, they’re bringing an asskicking with ’em.”
In an incident from February 2024, a body-camera video shows an obviously mentally unstable black man attempting to push a car down a residential street for no apparent reason. The video shows the officer interacting with the man before, during, and after he was attacked. Said individual, one Bryan Benjamin, was at first uncooperative and behaving strangely. The interaction then escalated: Benjamin stabbed the unnamed white officer multiple times in the head. Other bodycam videos show that backup arrived in order to subdue the crazed attacker. The neighborhood’s concerned residents, who initially tried to help Benjamin with his car trouble, called the police after he got in a physical altercation with one of them. It turned out that Benjamin was already wanted for a previous felonious assault.
When criminals use getaway cars to flee from the scene of their latest smash-and-grab robbery or decide that they don’t want to stick around for a traffic stop, police have to chase them down and force them off the road. That’s when they often employ the good ole PIT maneuver. Precision immobilization technique maneuvers can be quite spectacular. They are known by any number of names, including “pursuit immobilization technique,” “tactical vehicle intervention” (TVI), and “tactical ramming.” It is essentially a way of using a police car to force a fleeing vehicle off the road in order to end the pursuit. One article on the subject, “How police use the PIT maneuver to end vehicle pursuits,” puts it succinctly: “A well-executed PIT deployment usually results in the pursued vehicle spinning out to a stop, followed by the arrest of a dazed driver.” If executed at high speeds, however, PITs can result in rollovers.
In one incident in February 2024, a black woman driving a black Saturn Aura led officers on a chase through the streets of Grand Rapids, Michigan. After speeding, blowing through multiple red lights, and ignoring the multiple police vehicles that were by then pursuing her, she was finally forced to stop by a PIT maneuver. The driver, Brittany Leigh Johnson, decided to make things even worse for herself by resisting arrest and repeatedly denying everything like a broken record. Unsurprisingly, she was already wanted for felonious assault.
I could be wrong, but it seems to me that many black people suffer from some sort of racial Tourette’s syndrome which compels them to repeat the exact same words to an officer until he gets so thoroughly fed up that he either tases the suspect or throws him into the back of a paddy wagon. This ailment, which seems to afflict so many black criminals, is probably exacerbated by illicit substance use.
One spectacular chase that began on a highway and concluded following a PIT maneuver in downtown Atlanta is a particularly good example of just how dangerous these chases can be. Sure enough, the driver and passenger in the fleeing vehicle, a 2015 BMW 640i, were both black. After a successful PIT the suspect vehicle crashed into a parked Cadillac Escalade SUV. The driver, one Deonte Daugherty, had to be pulled out of the vehicle through the driver’s side window.
Another dashcam video from the summer of 2022 shows an Illinois State Police trooper speaking with a motorist just before being attacked. The policeman, Matthew Niehaus, made a traffic stop on a speeding vehicle that was travelling at 109 miles per hour in a zone where the speed limit is 70. Trooper Niehaus told the driver, a black man named Randy Turner, “I’ll even work with you . . . I even wrote your speed down a little bit so I wouldn’t have to take you to jail.”
You can buy Jonathan Bowden’s Western Civilization Bites Back here.
Even though Turner had been speeding as well as driving with an expired license, the trooper offered not only to issue him a lesser ticket but offered to call a tow truck in order to move the vehicle. Despite this leniency, Turner decided to tackle him, and in the ensuing fight Turner struck the officer several times, sprayed him with his own pepper spray, and attempted to steal his gun. Luckily for trooper Niehaus, a good Samaritan with a handgun intervened.
Although Indians are revered as spiritual beings who are in tune with nature while they sit contemplatively in their bingo halls, calling out letters and numbers for the gathered tribe on pub night, they nevertheless often get into trouble with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). When they’re not blockading trains or highways, they’re getting drunk and acting belligerent with police and any white person they happen to bodycheck on the sidewalk. In this dashcam video from 2020, a very esteemed Indian chief, Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation Chief Allan Adam, loses his cool with a mild-mannered RCMP officer before taking a beating. Although the RCMP has fallen out of favor during the increasingly insane Trudeau dictatorship, based on his behavior I feel that Chief Adam deserved to be dealt with harshly.
Many activists initially championed the idea of fitting all police officers with body cameras and equipping all squad cars with dashboard cameras, thinking these would show overwhelming evidence of police brutality and racism. In fact, it has showed the exact opposite. The resulting deluge of videos highlight black pathology and just how out-of-control non-whites can be. Although I am not an advocate of unrestrained state power, which would persecute and force white people into submission as well, I am a proponent of using state power to control and incarcerate criminals of all sorts, including these feral beasts in our midst.

Here in (formerly great) South Africa, we call it “Bantufication”
Maybe we can use the same term for Detroit, Atlanta, Jackson, etc.
Derek Chauvin and George Floyd both should receive life-size solid gold Oscars for their performance in the video that had a greater effect on Western civilization than all the celebrated actors and directors in the entire history of cinema. And they were acting, in the sense that what actually transpired was not what people perceived, or projected onto the event. Now both the arrestees and the cops seem to be playing to the camera, with all the black exclamations of “I can’t breathe” and the cops uttering “sirs” as if they were in boot camp.
Cameras are a good thing. Without them, it’s too easy for bully cops to abuse the people they stop, which could include any of us. And I remember before the cameras were mandatory, citizen bystanders who tried to record encounters were sometimes charged with interfering with officers.
It is a fact that George Floyd died of a drug overdose. He killed himself. There was no “murder” and everyone in power knew it. They simply lied about it, for political effect. The riots which followed were not spontaneous, but organized and encouraged by the government.
Derek Chauvin was innocent of all charges, as were the other three cops. They were just doing their job. The politicians and judges in Minnesota deliberately lied, as did the national Media. They were all following a political script. Chauvin and the others were convicted in a political trial, presided over by a Democrat judge, Peter Cahill.
What was Chauvin’s motive for this so-called “murder”? Obviously, there was none. No one would commit a murder while being filmed by his own body-cam. Peter Cahill refused a defense request to show the body-cam evidence to the jury in the trial, because it would have helped the defense and Cahill favored a conviction.
If we decend into the level of madness that Haiti is currently going through, maybe we could start over. Look at Detroit and other big cities that blacks run. The water crisis in Jackson, MS from a couple of years ago is a good example. The fact that the New York state police and the New York national guard will be policing the subway system is another example. These are examples of black dysfunction.
Very interesting article. Read it while warming up my car his morning. Glad to be behind the paywall!
Awesome, welcome in! Thank you for the kind words, too.
Right after the BLM riots of 2020, one of the producers of the TV show “Cops” admitted that most of their footage was of black criminals. That same producer admitted that they didn’t air most of it because it would make blacks look bad and reinforce negative stereotypes of blacks.
Everything here is true but there is also the glaring evidence that the police are too heavy handed. Especially in the USA.
To be fair, your average cop won’t know if your average felon is carrying a gun or not in the USA, but even so.
A standard car running lights not stopping and going on a short chase shouldn’t result in a cop with a gun screaming “GET YOUR HANDS UP NOW!” I’ve seen these incidents occur in my own country and they never warranted that over reaction.
The cop doing this will be stressed out and worried the felon has a gun. What if the cop is inexperienced? What if for some other reason he pulls the trigger? There are so many things can go wrong with this, really it’s no surprise that blacks and their Leftist allies are able to sell their sob story to the public.
I’d probably advocate a gun ban in urban areas of over 100,000, and I think a lot of crime would go down and these police brutality incidents would also go way down. If the worry over the felon toting a gat is gone then the chance the police will panic and shoot is much less too.
That’s the only way I’d advise this could get to European style system of police who are less of a kind of paramilitary unit and more of a civilian police force.
That said the police in France are also pretty heavy handed and whip out their guns at the slightest provocation – in Spain they’re heavy handed but more into using batons than guns.
It just changes where you go and on the culture, i suppose. But the American police are certainly far too heavy handed and trigger happy.
I read another piece ( I don’t think it was on counter currents) about a black boy of 10 or 12 or so with his mother and the boy was arrested by police for public urination while he waited for his parent to come back out the store (he was waiting in the car in the car park and urinated somewhere in the car park)
There were photos of the boy in the back of the wagon, handcuffed, and he was held for a few hours in a police station.
Where is the common sense? Why would the police do this? Surely if you see a young lad taking a piss you either turn a blind eye or maybe scold him – “you shouldn’t be doing that in public, go see if the store has a toilet, etc” – I’m assuming several cops jumped the kid and probably pulled out their guns and started screaming while handcuffing him – a complete over reaction.
And way to go in giving yet another black lifelong doubts and paranoia about the police. I think the U.S. police really do make a rod for their own back at times.
No that’s ridiculous. To lead officers on a dangerous high speed chase through a city and then to be stubbornly recalcitrant is tantamount to attempted negligent homicide, if that’s not a contradiction in terms. The suspect should be treated with utmost precaution and force.
The chase didn’t look that intense from the video I saw. It also looked like night time and the roads appeared mostly deserted. A lot of that chase was taking place at what looked like more or less legal speeds. What I saw was the cop screaming with his gun out ready to shoot, and if the driver had done something to startle him he’d shoot and there’d be another Saint George of Floyd moment for the black/Left coalition to tubthump about.
I obviously agree criminals need dealt with, antisocial behaviour is unacceptable, and that blacks are crime prone. I just believe this goes both ways. The U.S. police are too heavy handed by far.
Even take Saint Floyd for an example. What was he doing? Passing a fake $20? Was this really worth putting yourself in a situation where it can be construed you killed the guy? (I.e. putting him in a neck restraint)
The body cam footage or what was released anyway for the Saint Floyd event only actually served to fit the Left agenda ; I can’t breathe, knee on neck. Can you reasonably convince laymen that this neck knee restraint wouldn’t choke you out? Is this worth it for passing a fake $20? How would European police have responded? Chinese police? Isnt there a debate to be had about how heavy handed the U.S. police are? And if they at times over step the mark and do themselves and the broad reputation of white people no favours?
I believe its mostly a gun issue. The cops don’t know if the driver will pull out a gun or not. I think it’s hard to justify guns in a 21st century urban metropolis. A gun ban in cities would be an implicit pro white law in any case as many Whites are outside the cities and they’d remain armed.
The locations with the highest rates of gun violence also have the strictest gun control laws. What you’re advocating simply doesn’t work.
Counter Currents censorship. Never a dime of money to this operation of cowards. Cowards.
Yes, I censored your vulgar comment.
I love how the supposed “talk” that black parents are forced to have with their kids about the dangers of a police stop “while black” are meant to guilt us into thinking how awful it is for them, but we see over and over and over how hardly any of them heed the advice. I am not proud to say that I have been arrested more than a few times but one thing that never happened was me ending up face down on the pavement.
I started Kindergarten back in 1991. Even then, I couldn’t help but notice on television news that whenever they were reporting some kind of criminality or dysfunction in cities, the perpetrators were nearly always some kind of of Mexican/Hispanic, or black. I also noticed that Whites are not afraid to say that a certain area “isn’t very nice” but if you say the reason why, they’ll get upset.
My mother grew up in the Bronx. That same year she was talking to my aunt and uncle about how run down and awful it is during a coffee meeting at our house. And my young self actually uttered “Is it because Mexicans and blacks live there?” My mom, my aunt, and my uncle all looked like they were about to convict me of murder, and my mom shouted “How dare you say something so vile, Ian?? That’s racism!!! We do NOT say racist things in this house, do you understand, young man???”
33 years later, and most Whites still remain hopeless in this area. We often blame things like decades of conditioning from K-12 public schools, Liberal college professors, and Hollywood, but part of me wonders if it might be something genetic in us. There’s no explanation as to why this continues despite absolute horrors we have lived through in the last 6 decades or so. but especially in the last 35 years.
Whites should have already been at least somewhat awake by 1991, as our country was already showing strong signs of problems and situations which needed addressing. The fact that we aren’t much more awake today is not a good sign. Really bad, in fact.
I don’t know if you know but Kevin Mcdonald latest book Individualism and the Western Liberal Tradition tries to answer this question on if the cuckery is genetic in us. Theres a good review on this website.
White Americans are not going to “wake up.” They already know this stuff. They just know to not talk about it. All who are waiting for this big wake up call will be waiting for a very long time.
