Predators trailer explores To Catch A Predator's complicated legacy
On the surface, To Catch A Predator may seem like it was a moral net-positive. The Dateline series helped apprehend multiple criminals before they could target more children. That, at least on paper, sounds like a good thing. Predators, a new documentary delving into the repercussions of the popular show, however, argues that its legacy is a lot more complicated than that. 'A cultural sensation from its inception in the early 2000s, Dateline NBC's candid-camera investigative series To Catch A Predator ensnared sex offenders and lured them to a film set, where they would be interviewed and arrested while cameras rolled. The show was a hit and transformed its host Chris Hansen into a moral crusader and TV star, while spawning a worldwide industry of imitators and vigilantes,' the documentary's logline reads. 'But why did we watch so voraciously — and why do we continue to devour its web-based, clickbait-driven offshoots?' 'Looking back on the show and the countless franchises it spawned, filmmaker David Osit turns his camera on journalists, actors, law enforcers, academics, and ultimately himself, to trace America's obsession with watching people at their lowest,' the film's synopsis continues, before promising to 'delve into the murk of human nature to observe hunter, predator, subject and spectator alike, all ensnared in a complicated web of entertainment as far as the eye can see.' A new trailer for the documentary includes a clip of a recorded call presumably from the show, before teasing an interview with Hansen himself. 'Some people watching this may feel like you have something to answer for. What do you say to that?' the filmmaker asks while Hansen looks uncomfortable. To Catch A Predator premiered in 2004 and was canceled in 2008, shortly after Bill Conradt, a Texas assistant district attorney, committed suicide after learning he was about to be a subject on the show. In a statement, Osit said the incident left him with a long-lasting distaste for the true crime genre. 'I certainly found the show fascinating… I remembered watching as a young adult and feeling a complex stew of discomfort and schadenfreude as child predators were lured into a house, interviewed and ultimately arrested with cameras rolling for our national entertainment,' he said, per People. 'But even knowing the sordid details of what happened in Texas towards the end of the show's run—a man who ultimately committed suicide rather than be filmed by Dateline NBC cameras during one of their child predator stings—I didn't imagine a story about this show could transcend what always bothered me most about the true crime genre.' You can revisit the phenomenon yourself (or decide whether Osit's documentary just advances To Catch A Predator's long shadow) when the film premieres September 19 in theaters. More from A.V.

The Folly of Trump's Cartel-Bombing Fantasy
Shootouts echoing through the streets. Masked gunmen dragging people from homes. Mutilated bodies dumped on the sidewalks. For almost a year, the northwestern Mexican state of Sinaloa has been under siege, as warring factions of the Sinaloa cartel, one of the world's most powerful criminal organizations, have waged a brutal internal conflict. Mexican authorities have cracked down on the syndicate, rounding up more than 1,500 alleged cartel operatives in the state since October, according to Mexico's security chief. But they have failed to stop the blood bath there or anywhere else in Mexico, where cartels have long been a dominant force. For years, President Trump has been threatening to get the U.S. military involved in this fight. The administration has already designated the Sinaloa Cartel a foreign terrorist organization, along with other Mexican cartels. The C.I.A. has been conducting covert drone flights over Mexico to identify fentanyl labs and other cartel targets. Today, the possibility of direct, unilateral military strikes against cartels on Mexican soil looks closer than ever. Mr. Trump has reportedly signed a directive authorizing the use of military force against the cartels. The Pentagon has reportedly been looking at such plans and has deployed thousands of additional troops to waters around Latin America and the Caribbean. Officials in Mexico City, who had claimed they were nearing a major security agreement with Washington, were apparently blindsided by the news. 'We will never, ever allow the U.S. Army or any other institution of the United States to set foot in Mexican territory ever,' President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico said on Aug. 11.

DC residents feel less safe after Trump takeover: poll
Roughly 8 in 10 Washington, DC, residents oppose President Donald Trump ordering the federal government to take control of the city's police department as well as his deployment of the National Guard and FBI to patrol the city, a new Washington Post-Schar School poll finds. Notably, more than half of those living in the capital city have noticed the increased federal presence and 61% of those people feel less safe as a result of Trump's action. The figures go against the narrative Trump and other top administration officials have touted about the impact of the federal takeover. 'We went from the most unsafe place anywhere to a place that now people, friends are calling me up, Democrats are calling me up, and they're saying, 'Sir, I want to thank you. My wife and I went out to dinner last night for the first time in four years, and Washington, DC, is safe. And you did that in four days,'' Trump said at the White House on Monday. Overall, a 79% majority of DC residents oppose Trump's order, according to the survey, with just 17% supportive of the decision. Most, 69%, say they're strongly opposed. DC residents say, 65% to 20%, that they don't think Trump's actions will reduce the amount of violent crime in the city. By contrast, majorities say they think increased economic opportunities in poor neighborhoods (77%), stricter national gun laws (70%), an increased number of Metropolitan Police officers patrolling communities (63%) and using outreach workers to resolve disputes (57%) would help to reduce violent crime. Trump, who was supported by just over 6% of DC voters in last year's presidential election, remains broadly unpopular in the District, the poll finds, with his overall job approval rating now standing at just 15% among all residents. The poll also finds a significant shift in DC residents' attitudes toward crime since this spring, perhaps reflecting the changing political context of the question — just 31% now describe crime as an extremely or very serious problem in the District (down from 50%) and a 54% majority say they believe the problem of crime in the city is improving (up from 29%). Among the 35% of residents who say they, a family member, or a close friend has been a victim of crime in the past five years, support for Trump's actions stands at 34%, compared with 8% support among those who do not know a recent crime victim. About half of residents say Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser should be doing more to oppose Trump, with 30% saying she is handling things about right and 12% that she should be more supportive. A 71% majority also say DC police should not help the federal government much or at all to deport undocumented immigrants living in the city. Local police officers have been seen participating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement checkpoints over the past week. Bowser's rating stands at 53%, unchanged from a May survey, with 54% saying that DC police are doing a good or excellent job. The Washington Post-Schar School poll was conducted August 14-17 and surveyed 604 DC residents through a combination of live phone interviews and online surveys. Results for the full sample have a margin of error of +/- 4.1 percentage points. Solve the daily Crossword
