Isn't it a little strange how all these videos of cops doing all these heroic things lately? There seems to be a new one that goes viral almost every day. It has only been happening lately ever since all the murders of black people have been televised.

There's been a lot of cop hate going on, so the police are making videos of officers happening to be at the right place at the right time and saving someones life.

Do you think they are in fact genuine? That they're real videos that people are sharing, or that they plan them to say "See, look how good police officers actually are! We couldn't actually be the bad guys!"?

I just think it's a little odd that they're way more frequent than they were say... two months ago.

r/conspiracy: get stoned and speculate from coincidence and bias

Isn't it just like, whatever is out of place is featured? So, a cop being awful stands out against an assumption of cops being good. In a world of endless bad cop stories, a good cop video is "news" because it's unexpected. Which is sad.

i'm glad someone noticed this; these videos always pop up after police abuse. i'm sure there are decent cops; but these dancing cops, cops saving puppies & kittens -- smh.

If one of the most outspoken people in support of cop cams and decreased police violence had just been assassinated then I might be suspiciou.... oh, wait!

Wait, did that really happen?

I'm in Australia, so I haven't heard anything about that.

Even though I'm not from the US, I still genuinely care about all the people that are being suppresed by the police. All the murders of both black and white people is fucking disgusting. I seriously hope that it gets sorted really soon.

Yeah, he was one of the people killed in the recent shooting in SC, USA.

Wow. What a coincidence.

That is so fucked up.

Also, didn't that area recently have a... not sure what it's called, but a "what to do if there's a shooter, and how to deal with the situation" type thing? I wish I knew the word, but a guy posted it not too long ago...

lol at their propaganda. just show them shooting the family dog over and over and the people will get the point.

and you dont think it was weird that only bad videos show up of cops doing terrible things? It does not in anyway represent 100% of the community of police. You can make the same argument for both sides
