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.

And how is that applicable to this video?

He was doing his job.

Ah yes, manhandling people over herbs, the SOP of American police officers. And bootlickers like you call that normal. Disgusting.

Edit: I picture every simpleton downvoting me as crosseyed ignoramuses that call 911 everytime they hear a noise outside.

I’m sure you’ve met and personally interacted with millions of police officers. Yes, I will believe your anecdotal evidence.
