    So this thread will post video of police interactions and ask the question "why are they still cops?"

    You'll have to follow the link to Twitter on this

    https://twitter.com/i/status/1271145001947299841

    This licensed firearms holder is asking the police for "probable cause."

    Why are they still cops?

    Twitter is about as useful a source of accurate information, as Pravda in 1980 or ole Baghdad Bob as the tanks were rolling by.

    Twitter is not the source. Twitter is the distribution medium.

    You would shoot the paperboy because you don't like the news?

    Stay on topic. The topic is not twitter.

    Video designed to make cops look bad are often edited to show ONLY the supposed “abuse” while ignoring the events leading up to that point. Doesn’t justify really abuse but certainly purposely creates mistrust.

    Michael Brown was one of the more egregious examples of pure lies and it led to the creation of BLM.

    But if your source is Twitter then it is relevant.

    I guess folks think all cops should be replaced by kindergarten teachers.

    Get real!

    I only watched the first video on Twitter.

    The guy was white so it can be expected you arent going to find it on cnn or a "credible" source.

    You can google all sorts of videos showing similar oversteps by police....lots of white people being the victims. There are people actively making a point of finding opportunities to video over steps or even atrocities at the hands of police. And those are for the most part valid.

    I will tell you what was not video taped....when my son was stopped for peeling a donut on a street in kansas...not his home state. He was stopped by police who asked him if he had a gun in the car. My son said yes and told them where it was. (He did not have a conceal carry btw). Then the cop gave him and his passenger a sobriety test. My son barely passing the cop told the passenger to drive and my son got a ticket.

    Apparently it's a constitutional right to have a gun in kansas.

    No one wants to video and upload when things are done right.

    Nor can you prove it wasn't, ah the wonders of modern technology. Hell you likely can't even prove it wasn't staged

    Relevant. Twitter is a cesspool of misinformation. Cops are cops because.... If they bother you, don't break the law.

    Absolutely none of the content originate from Twitter. Your argument is specious at best.

    AND

    Most of the posts are from sources other than Twitter.
