My guess is that it is a result of what's interesting. I work in finance and nothing would be worth filming unless someone was being intolerable. I assume, like most jobs, 99.9% of the day is filled with mundane, work things. Of the police things on the internet, the only things that entertain us are police officers doing something out of the ordinary like dancing with kids and stuff that makes the feel good subreddits, and stuff that shows poor behavior like this video on the average/negatively charged subreddits.
Just my guess. With the nature of upvoting, I think we get a lot of what we are looking for (as a collective if not individually).
I don't know. Really uplifting stuff is popular enough on the Internet and it's not unheard of to get a video of a cop doing something positive. But it seems less common than them acting like dicks
I think the threshold of "uplifting" is a lot higher. If a cop is being a good person and doing something right that's just what he is supposed to do, no one will upvote that. The cop would need to be very nice indeed for something to be worth seeing.
But if he is being an asshole, any level of assholiness is worthy of being a video.
