I’ve been muddling along with this website for years. I need to clarify direction, content and intent.
This site is a reference archive, a library of real-world incidents involving use of force, restraint, self defence, and other kinds of violence. Each case links to open-source footage or reliable reporting and is categorised by variables that matter: environment, weapon type, number of participants, and outcome.
There are no limitations for users on downloading files – you should be able to right-click and download without issue.
This site is intended as a training and research tool, not entertainment. Use it to identify recurring patterns, tactical failures and so on, or to highlight methods that were used to good, proportionate and lawful effect.
I’ve provided my own analysis in some cases, but the purpose here is to provide footage of real events so you can perform your own analysis.
Always follow your agency’s policies, local laws, and use-of-force guidelines in training and operational contexts.
Caution
This material includes graphic violence and fatal outcomes. View it in the context of professional development and harm reduction.
