Honestly that was my first thought too, although it's awful that that's where our expectations are at, any hour they're spending watching that is an hour not spent listening to killology psychopaths.
I did that as a security guard for two months (we were allowed to). After a month, it gets really fucking boring. This was back in 2007, so no internet access on the computer.
A movie night at a community center, a screening in a company break room, ... all qualify as public performances even if only a handful of people show up.
I think it can get a little weird. A local cafeteria was going to play a movie during the dinner, and somehow advertising the fact (as an event, I guess) pushed it across into potentially breaking the law.

Not anywhere near the worst police training, I'm sure.

There were no Pauls left in the entire city after he was born. He took all of them.

More Paul than a mall cop?

More Paul than a ST Paul Mall Police called Paul.

Ten year old article.
Three years before Chauvin murdered Floyd.
They definitely learned a lot from the film.

Saying that the cops were given anti-bias training is hustling the general public.

Floyd was murdered by the Minneapolis Police. St Paul Police appear to be more chill.
Edit: Not "chill" chill, but rather "less murderous chill".
Edit 2: Yes, I fucked up who is who between Floyd and Chauvin. Why? Fuck if I know.

Nobody murdered Chauvin. He was thrown in jail. He may be murdered in jail but it hasn't happened yet.

Imagine if they hadn't seen zootopia. How bad would it have been?

It's a movie about how the government created the crack epidemic to demonize minorities so yeah they should watch it.

This statement made several of them quite mad.

Did they license it properly? That’s a public viewing.
My standards for cops are so low that’s my first thought.
aeronmelon@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 92d
I don’t think police training is open to the public.
If that station bought it legit, they can show it to anyone who works there.

Incorrect i believe.

The link you provided specifically calls out classroom instruction as an exception.
Also, IIRC, the whole thing is moot once your screening becomes invite only as that would be considered a private venue.

None of this applies to pirated media of course, because I downloaded it and made it mine

if I bought the dvd, I can't put a tv on my lawn (if I was american and lived in a suburb) and play it there for anyone to watch?
am I reading this right?
possumparty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 90d
as long as you're not charging money, then yes. that is my understanding
