Roxanne Video (??/??/1978) The official "red" video for Roxanne, in which the guys seemed to have a good bit of fun during this early Police video shoot. (How Stewart kept from falling backwards off of his throne is beyond me.)

De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da Live in France (08/28/1980) Starting off with Sting calling a mud-slinging audience member a "cunt" and commenting that he'd like to "rip his fucking arms off", things get more tense as Sting is hit by a spit attack mid-song. (From the film, Police Around The World)

Don't Stand So Close To Me Video Sure, they might not have always gotten along very well, but it's videos like these that remind us that the guys did indeed have some fun times together.

Spirits in the Material World Video In this low-budget video, the production couldn't even be bothered to turn on a spotlight for Sting.

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic Video Forget about "guitar face". Andy shows us the ugliness of hitting his upper vocal register.

Demolition Man Video Sting wails away on the sax, Andy sports a shirt that makes it look as if he's just survived a vicious bear attack, and Stewart is simply all sorts of awesome.

Invisible Sun Video Video for the often under-appreciated third track from Ghost in the Machine.

Mtv Promo with Outtake (1983) Once upon a time we really did want our Mtv. No, seriously.

Synchronicity II Video (07/20/1983) From the post-apocalyptic theme of the set and wardrobes, to Stewart's drum-bashing, to Andy's aggressive air-guitar, to Sting in his most badass form... this is certainly one of the band's best videos.

Don't Stand So Close To Me '86 Video Official video for the 1986 re-recording of the Police classic.

Final Performance -- Amnesty International Tour (06/15/1986) Although an impromptu jam took place at Sting's 1992 wedding and the group performed at their 2003 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, this performance during the final concert of the Amnesty International "A Conspiracy of Hope" tour is widely considered to be the group's last.
