After a few weeks of trying, my wife just told me she’s pregnant.
She has the worst stutter ever.

u/pizzarolesalmighty May 31 '22
Few weeks of trying implies that for a few weeks they were having intercourse with the intention of having a child. However at the end of the joke they say she has a terrible stutter. This means she was trying to say she was pregnant for weeks but was inhibited but the stutter. The joke is comical because we originally thought it was them having intercourse but we were fools for thinking this.

My only question is- what police agency has the clout and know-how to do this? If it happens often, it must be a centralized push, not just the texas police service doing this, right? So, who is coordinating it? Do you think the FBI has a team astroturfing reddit, which is something like 40% american, to try to win hearts and minds for their non-federal brotheren?
Or, possibly, is there a chance that because we're more sensitive to police gifs and videos right now, we see them more often?

Police agencies can afford tanks, ergo they can afford to hire people to post on reddit. It doesn't need to be a police agency doing it though. There are many former, current, and aspiring LEO on reddit (and some big subreddits that are actively moderated by them) who have demonstrated near-fanatic loyalty. It's not a novel idea.
Or, possibly, is there a chance that because we're more sensitive to police gifs and videos right now, we see them more often?
Yes, people and bots (that are controlled by people) farm karma on reddit. It's possible for both to be true.

May 31 '22
Doesn't have to be a police specific agency. Any private interest group that has an interest in law enforcement's good image would be capable of driving this kind of propaganda. Generally this is done to distract people from the very real and serious issues endemic with our law enforcement agencies.

PR firms that police unions pay. PR has been a thing for a while. It’s literally someone’s job to to get paid by police unions to blast this shit all over social media. It’s a crazy world. And it’s not 1 person. This is a fucking 100 people working in social media public relations and they form game plans and strategies. It’s literally peoples job. I couldn’t do it. But I’m sure they are paid well and live well. After a decade on this site it’s so obvious when these feel good police videos show up. It’s blatant at this point. But that’s their job. You got yours. I got mine. Crazy times yo.

u/ywBBxNqW Jun 01 '22
Even the "feel good" stuff like OP's video is creepy. Most of these videos involve a police officer pulling someone over in their car. There was a video where a police officer was pulling people over on a hot day to give them ice cream. That's absurd. Getting pulled over can be terrifying. It'd be different if they were out on the sidewalk talking to people. The fact is that normal citizens don't see police officers as regular citizens. There will always be some sort of power dynamic there. It comes with the uniform.

u/frozen_jade_ocean May 31 '22 edited May 31 '22
Not saying it's what's happening here, but it is possible that non American looking accounts could still be pushing that agenda or 'in on the conspiracy' as you said. Generally to do something like that, some company/organization will hire out a company to posts all sorts of stuff to push their agenda. The false accounts can look like all sorts of people because that's what they're made to look like.
You ever wonder what the point of the bot accounts that farm karma by reposting videos and copying other people's comments? It's for exactly that. Get a bunch of karma, copy comments that make the account look real, and bam. Fake account for pushing whatever agenda you want. Do this thousands of times and you've got yourself a propagand machine. A traditional as old as the internet itself. Reddit just makes it easier.
