Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Documentaries are critical audio-visual tools of recording oral history and can go a long way in not such preserving vital information for posterity but can also ensure prompt redressing of errant conditions in the light of its function as indisputable evidence. The “Oral History Project” conducted through video interviews and carried out jointly by the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences and the American Society of Criminology under the supervision of Frank Taylor is undoubtedly a step in that direction (Hagan, 2006, p.241). In this documentary project WHO CARES ABOUT THE BAD GUY, our endeavor would be to record and disseminate coherently audio-visual material that will enable a fair understanding of the decision to use deadly force. We will attempt to achieve this by filming first-person accounts of police officers who have perceived to have found themselves in a situation where they were left with no other alternative than to use deadly force to bring down the suspect. Documentary films incorporating interviews can add immense value to the “versatility of the oral history” (Hagan, 2006, p.241). WHO CARES ABOUT THE BAD GUY will be another step in the investigation of the police use of deadly force in an age and time when media and technology has made it possible to pierce the blue wall. An amateur video of the Rodney King incident made America sit up and question police discretion and authority. It is equally imperative to peel the layers and understand the thoughts that race through the mind of a police officer just before the trigger is pulled. Is there something more at work than just the state of being in “clear and present danger?”
