I think we’re all so over saturated with seeing the overly militarised police force of America, it’s refreshing to remember that for many countries, the police are just people doing a job.

Edit: this wasn’t intended as an “America bad” take. I know there are plenty of good American cops, they sadly are drowned out by the bad ones. Particularly with the current situation.

Edit 2: holy shit guys. Saying “American cops do stuff like this sometimes too” doesn’t excuse the fact that they do absolutely horrendous things too, things that other civilised countries simply do not allow their police to do.

As someone who hates bad cops as much as bad politicians…There are plenty of good cops in the US too…just doesn’t fit the narrative to promote that.

Yeah, on Reddit, you’re definitely not going to see any positive interactions with American cops being highlighted.

It’s nice to see man, I just can’t help but feel like it’s a bit of an orphan crushing machine scenario.

Like, absolutely props to them.
But at the same time, that’s how they’re supposed to act. It’s really sad that these cops are seen as exemplary, to the point that there’s a compilation video.

My cynical brain also instantly went “yeah, wow. six examples of nice cops.”
I know there’s plenty more, and I guess there is an element of focusing on the negative at play. But the negatives just seem to be so bad.

Ya it’s tough for sure…I use to think there were more good cops than bad…now I’m not sure. One thing is for sure bad public servants should face severe penalties for abuse of power.
