There's actually 3 separate videos on that cop. Also, not long after he arrived at Paintsville, he was supposedly involved in a traffic stop shooting that is under investigation.

Man shot, two officers on leave following investigation into stolen motorcycle
The officer reportedly deployed his taser, but the man was able to get up and run away, leading a foot pursuit toward Euclid Avenue.

Dig the avatar, man. We'll see how long it lasts, haha
Well that depends, is the server armed? Because if not, there's no comparison
I am not saying that this is the case here but in most small towns the biggest thing that is missing is the proper training that these officers need to do their job properly. In some instances training can't offset someones predisposition to be drunk on power.
The difference is another person is involved and his or her life could be destroyed, or they could be killed because of a bad officer. I’m a 100% back the blue as well and we absolutely need all the good ones we can get, but a police officer isn’t the right job for some people. Too many officers have gotten away with way too much without being punished. The power just goes to some of their heads sometimes and they think they’re above the law. Thankfully there’s way more good ones.
I was in the 82nd Airborne at Bragg. Special Forces, Delta Force, Cyops all there. People who wanted to kill legally gravitated to these special areas. If the mission didn’t provide it, there was always 1-2 serial killers getting arrested around Bragg. Scary place to live with a your family .
Fired for misconduct generally means you are not eligible for unemployment. I am sure the employer avoids a union grievance if it just lets the employee resign.
Upon what are you basing this opinion? Maybe the people who liked the post can also point us to the basis for this “majority” belief.
It stems from a certain subset of right-leaning folks who project the same "govern me harder, daddy!" vibes as do many (perhaps most) left-wingers.
There’s no answer I’m going to give you that makes you happy. How about staying away from the strawman and address the real issue. I’ll happily discuss that with you if you’d like.
The claim itself does not make me happy. I just want to know the source.
Your point was a strawman argument? Because responding to a claim asking for evidence is anything but a strawman. If corruption in law enforcement is not the “real issue,” what is?
You attacked one aspect of my argument not the argument itself. My assertion that it’s becoming a majority, which is really irrelevant. The real argument is; it’s happening, the police union and governing body know it’s happening and instead of addressing it are doing nothing or even worse; defending it. Because of this, the problem has continued to grow and fester. It’s only getting worse and will continue to do so. The current trajectory like so many things in this country is unsustainable.
False. I “attacked” nothing. Asking for facts is not an “attack” except to the liar or the utterly insecure
And, because I have frequent interactions with law enforcment, I asked the basis for that assertion. And, your dodge is what is most telling here.
No facts just conclusions and opinion. What is the foundation for your conclusions? Because if you are just making shat up, there is NO real issue.
Bud, you continue to dodge the real argument here. It’s obvious you’re angry about this and I’ve vowed to quit engaging people whom are just angry. Have a a good day.
When you falsely accuse someone of “attacking” because they asked you to support your false premise, I can see how you would also misperceive someone as “angry”. There is no evidence of police corruption to the extent you suggest. So, it appears you have no “real argument.”
I wish you a good day, as well.
Except what you’re arguing is not my premise. It’s an aspect of the argument that’s not provable. Prove that there’s not a huge portion of police that are corrupt. It doesn’t change the actual premise that police corruption is out there, well documented, and theyre police union and governing body refuse to address it. This is leading to more negative police interactions because confidence in competent policing is at an all time low. That is provable and it is factual.
Then prove what you can. Show me what the issue is with actual stats and not just your opinionated conclusions.
Just a simple Google search will show that the total number of police encounters has fallen to the lowest levels since 2008. Social media is driving this so called issue, not facts.
23% of Americans say that they have had a negative interaction with police in 2025 up from 12% in 2000. Police confidence rating is below 50% for the first time in history. It was around 65% in 2000. Reports of police misconduct are over double and govt payouts for misconduct are over triple.
National police confidence ratings hit an all time high of 64% in 2004. It dropped below 50% for the first time in 2020 with the George Floyd and Brianna Taylor reports and riots. It rose again above 50% in 2024. In 2025, it again dropped below 50%. None of this is proof of an increase in police corruption or anyone turning a blind eye.
Just opinion polls/surveys RunnyNose. Sorry if you don’t like them.

I would personally say there is a serious problem with police corruption that is widespread and needs massive correction. I think the frequency of police unions backing cops who are obviously in the wrong is a serious problem as well. I think the training they receive is often as much of the problem as just individual officers being bad. As far as the George Floyd and Breanna Taylor events I honestly do not see where the police did anything wrong. While I believe we are desperately in need of some reform I would never suggest we would be better off without them as I see them to be absolutely essential.
You have studied police training? What are they training that should have us concerned?
The anti police social media presence has certainly increased. The evidence of police widespread corruption has not.
I’m a political pragmatist that is what most would call right wing, and I’m sorry, but many people especially the boomer generation were totally brainwashed to support corrupt power. It’s becoming less and less, but it’s still a major problem.
“most police are good people”. I don’t know about that, I don’t know them. I know there are thousands of bad ones, and they all have qualified immunity. I know that when they strip your constitutional rights away, which is CONSTANTLY happening, the taxpayer, you, foots the bill. They move on and many times do it again.
I know that the state has murdered hundreds of innocent men which began with corrupt policing and a corrupt justice system. “Move to Afghanistan”. Yes, because that’s our standard isn’t it?
I know that we’re giving thousands of people the right to destroy your life, your children’s lives, and your loved ones lives when they many times over don’t have so much as a composition English class and damn sure don’t understand the constitution.
That’s what I know and that’s what I can prove. The problem is our POL system has convinced Americans that you pick what you feel about power by the title of the letter you vote for.
Policing in America is absolutely corrupt in general and it ends with police officers fully on the hook for lawsuits that THEY must pay. It’s at that point you’ll see the entire system clean itself up.

This is the main problem. The issue of policing is about power, it’s not about politics. But people have made it that way. I am no fan of policing in America, at the same time many of those politicized incidences were bad examples of the abuse of power, I agree.
I have seen countless videos of corrupt practices. It would take days to go through it all. Just one example would be Tennessee troopers having a quota for DUI arrests and it has been admitted and proven that they regularly arrest people that are guilty of nothing.

Just bow out with a baseless insult when you realize you went too far out on the limb.
Lookup police corruption in Milton,WV for some more egregious examples.
West Virginia is probably the worst state there is when it comes to corrupt policing. it’s an absolute abomination. And it’s rampant.
This is getting worse too, btw. I have never seen more police officers not understand warrant procedure - the 4th amendment, the 1st amendment, etc. Many times they just say “did you get that off tick toc” when you assert your rights.
Eastern Kentucky is whack, too.
