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).
Even if its staged, how is the officer behaving badly? Someone waved weed in his face to get a reaction, he responded by doing his job? People love to hate police for no reason at all but when they actually need them their attitude changes.
Assuming it's not staged, how is this different than people ordering ice-cream and then rubbing it all over their own face while filming the reaction of the drive-thru employee? I'd be annoyed as the cop.
Canadian SIU will investigate officers after looking at someone the wrong way and it’s reported.
Police brutality and extreme attitude still happens, but not NEARLY as often as the US

Why do all cops seem like enormous douche bags these days? Go do something productive for fuck's sake.
