I use them to teach my 9 year old about the importance of controlling his emotions and having the ability to talk calmly about them, the importance of following rules and doing what he is told to do, especially when the police are involved, and making good decisions while avoiding making a bad situation much, much worse.
A good idea! I did see she committed suicide in 2024. That's sad. I certainly feel sorry for her family and her.
But trying to figure it out, what was her issue? I guess lack of impulse control, coupled with a propensity to freak out and become irrational. Did she perhaps find in her childhood that a temper tantrum allowed her to get her own way all the time? Because her not listening to the police when they were trying to just get her to book a flight on another airline, and avoid any punishment for her disturbance indicates her cognitive processes were working all askew. But she was not having a psychotic break. At best, she was listening to react, not listening to take input.
We discuss the contents of the video in this context, bringing it back to how me and his mother try to teach him to be a good person.
We also discuss what may have happened to these people to cause them to act this way, discuss how it isn't normal, and how he should even feel sorry for them - despite the fact that they're usually pretty funny.
I had to snort when she was Screaming and yelling "No, I did not cause a disturbance!"
In short: they're educational videos.
Yes, they are. I find it a little disturbing though. Is this how women have always acted, and only being exposed now because of the body cams officers wear? Or is it a product of recent years changes in gender mores, and more and more women losing mental control and espousing violence when confronted for illegal acts? Once upon a time, women served more to calm down their husbands in situations, now many I watch have the woman freaking while her husband tries to get her to be quiet. Because police are likely to let her go without charges if she just keeps her yap shut.
I mean when I was in high school and after in a rock band, raced cars and motorcycles, let's just say I was around my share of "spicy" young ladies. But not one of them were violent. And I only knew a couple in school who were. Now it seems like a trend.
