    You’re catching downvotes because this doesn’t fit the narrative.

    Exactly the same video with the title “POS cop violently stomps old man who’s obeying his instructions” would have like 20 upvotes by now.

        Yeah, I really like Audit the Audit. I think it’s literally the only police-centered media I’ve seen that evenhandedly acknowledges both the possibility that the police might be right in a given situation and that they might be wrong. Almost everyone else seems to think only one or the other outcome is possible (with the latter being the general Lemmy view).

        I edited my comment to a little more clearly reflect my view. I just think it’s weird that you’re getting almost 40% downvotes as of this writing, I think purely because you’re acknowledging in your title that good cops exist, and people don’t want to hear that. Framed in a different light this would be a unanimously popular video.

          Thank you for your input!

          Yes, I try to watch things that help people learn on different subjects, even if it goes against the main stream.

          Audit the Audit is awesome due to the analysis given to the viewer on laws!
