i've never once seen a video showing positive interactions with law enforcement, this is kind of heart-warming to know that there are people in Law Enforcement who understand and uphold constitutional rights. maybe there's hope?

If we give cops apprecitation for doing the job right, then i sure as hell want appreciation for doing mine right. While we're at it, lets just report everything that has happened today, and give recognition to everyone.
A bunch of school buses delivered kids safely today. Round of applause.
The cook at Wendy's didn't fuck up my order today. Round of applause.
I drove to and from work safely today. Round of applause.

No and bad example, the ones you mentioned aren't being portrayed as societal issues, the point is they continuously show cops doing shit wrong, but never doing shit right. Which gives off the impression they are always fucking up, when really it's just a matter of perception, more cops do more good then bad, but only the bad ones are shown, giving people a false perception that cops should be feared or that cops are against you and your rights, because that is all they see.
If I was to only go off my experience and never saw anything on tv, I would think that 95% of cops are great people, and then there are some assholes, tv gives us a feeling that 95% are assholes, and 5% are good, which I believe was 404's point, but I might be wrong.

nope, you're right on point with all of that.

Congrats on the cop for doing his job? I find it kind of sad that it makes me happy when I see a cop upholding the Constitution.. what they are supposed to do. Says something about the current state of affairs. That we should praise them for doing their jobs properly.
Here's another recent one. A cop protecting a citizen from being harassed by rent-a-cops.
And another
They make me happy. But it's sad videos like these are so rare compared to the other ones of cops abusing their powers and violating rights.

That's basically all it is, people who like to engage in drug use do feel fear from police, but the police themselves aren't to blame for that, they don't make laws, and they have to enforce the ones that are still in play. I've even seen people on here say "It's bullshit a cop would arrest me for doing (this drug) yet people are destroying themselves at bars with alcohol and that is totally fine"
No, it isn't bullshit, that cop isn't trying to fuck with you, he is basically forced to enforce these laws or risk losing their own, the laws are to blame, not the people who don't have a choice about upholding them.
@Shroomism, I don't believe it's so rare, but people aren't interested in taking their phone out and recording police doing good shit, they want something wrong and viral that will get them lots of attention, and police doing their jobs correctly doesn't draw attention, but because of that we ONLY get to see bad well over 90% of the time, which gives a false perception of the police as a whole.
They shouldn't be praised for doing their jobs right, but at the same time shouldn't all be blasted because a few got recorded doing some questionable shit. In a way, it's almost identical to racism without being called the same thing, some people see certain black people acting a certain way, and attribute those characteristics or that behavior to the color of their skin, because that's what they see and hear, and the information they have to go off of. People see some cops doing some wrong shit(I say some, because you can have 10 videos a day pop up, and that is still only a fraction), and they attribute those characteristics to all cops, because that's mostly all they have to go off of. Just though, don't want to get into a good vs bad police debate, it's only my opinion and it won't effect how things operate anyway.

I disagree completely. I follow several sites like copblock, whose sole purpose is to film every interaction with police. Due to the massive increase in police brutality over the past 10 years or so. They may post a lot of videos of cops abusing people and abusing their powers, killing people for petty crimes and so on. But they also will post whenever someone posts a video of cops upholding the constitution and being a good cop, give them praise and state things like now THIS is how cops should behave, more cops like this please! They aren't out there to just villainizeall police. They are there to hold them accountable for their actions as public servants. When cops do their job, they recognize it and praise it.

people are far more likely to talk about negative experiences they incurred at restaurants and the like than positive ones, and i think that same kind of mentality plays over to stuff like this.
when cops fuck up, it's a breach of an individual's constitutional rights and that's what causes the discussion to be emotionally charged. people are more likely to talk about emotionally charged subjects as well i feel.

Major news outlets generally don't cover the videos of people doing their jobs, they can only usually watch that on youtube.
Police brutality, is basically on every news website, or viral website that exist, giving people a different outlet other then youtube to watch it on. Plus going to the internet and searching out videos is one thing, turning on tv and having them broadcast to you almost daily is a different thing.

Like I said above, I disagree. Negative interactions with cops has become so common, people are quick to post when they find a cop doing their job and having a positive experience from it, because it's so goddamn refreshing. Watch the videos I posted and tell me you don't disagree.
This is a subject I watch very closely. People are filming cops nowadays more than ever. The negative interactions outweigh the positive ones for the most part, sadly. But it's nice when we find cops doing their jobs properly, upholding the Constitution.. and ACTUALLY serving and protecting the public like they are SUPPOSED TO DO.. and we encourage more cops to follow their lead.
You said that's the first positive cop video you've seen. I've probably seen hundreds. Compared to the thousands of bad ones. Good cops are definitely out there, but they are becoming a rarer breed. Hopefully that changes.

Fair enough, I'm not against a police reform of sorts, I just don't personally think it's as bad as people think it is, and people being outraged and lashing out at police because of it is an ineffective way of handling it and causing police to overreact more. Idk though, I don't have the solution, just seems like it's being taken to a level that is unnecessary.
Not all of the time but a lot of these videos I think people handle the situation wrong as well, you do have rights, if you assert them and you are correct and a cop decides to overstep them, shut your mouth, and let them do what they're going to do anyway, and the courts and a lawyer would almost definitely get it thrown out due to violating you. But most people decide to start resisting or fighting back instead of just waiting to win later. As I said though, just my opinion, and my opinion is irrelevant and will never have an effect on the outcome, so it's not something I'm willing to defend really, just what I believe.

i know of copblock, but i don't follow it. i can't handle facebook much, i just kind of go by what i see on the forums here and i see more people talking about negative interactions than positive ones.
anyway, i think it's proper that we DO praise good and proper behavior from police as it seems there is rampant corruption in various places, it might help increase the incidences of good behavior

Unfortunately, even if you do everything perfectly, (which.. you cannot expect everyone to be completely perfect and level headed in every situation).. but even if you do everything perfectly, that doesn't mean some crazy cop isn't going to blow your head off. I could post some examples for you if you like. But this is supposed to be a positive cop thread.
Yes, it's good practice in general to cooperate with the police... no one disputes that. Unfortunately, there's a lot of sick motherfuckers out there with badges who overstep their bounds on the regular and get away with murder, literally. That's why there is a growing distrust of the police. Even if you struggle against a cop (fight or flight mechanism..), that doesn't give them a right to execute you on the street when you posed zero threat to them. I can understand when a cop kills someone that poses a tangible threat to them. It's the other stuff I have problems with.

I agree with that, I don't think police should get away with murder, and when put in that perspective I can understand peoples fear of the unknown that could happen from an interaction especially if police brutality cases are statistically growing. That would be the reform I'd definitely support, them being trained more efficiently in non-lethal takedowns, or even development or use of technology (some of which is already at their disposal, such as tasers) to subdue someone without always resorting to the gun or shooting people. And the ones who blatantly kill people who weren't a real threat should be charged.
I still personally think it isn't as many cops as people think or the way people are going about changing it, I may just be naive about it. But I can still definitely understand your point and the reasons people are upset about it.
