How is this newsworthy? This kind of stuff happens everyday, it's part of their job...

Happens everyday? Um..no.

I like this, another citizen has been saved.

Look at that cop, assaulting that woman and violating her 4th amendment rights. He can't make her get out of her car like that. This cop is corrupt and needs to be fired immediately and he should go to jail for assault and battery.

 

/sarcasm

 

Seriously though, good police stories happen every day around the world. Saving people, buying a kid some new clothes, buying homeless people warm clothes in the winter or a hot meal. It's a daily occurrence because that is literally what their job is. Most officers will happily tell you it's about more than just putting people in jail. If only the media would publicize the good stories as much as they do the bad ones...

So true, the media seems to focus more on bad people than they on good ones. It's strange

It's not strange. Sensationalist things and bad stuff happening sells so much more than "a cop did his/her job".

Happens everyday? Um..no.

 

you have a general idea of how big the planet is, right?

 

I'd definitely rather be hearing about this stuff than people "mourning" over a death that they cry foul, although it hasnt even been fully investigated yet. Besides, much more of this happens than any bad on a daily basis. The media just blows all the bad up. Look on the Crappy News Network website. One of the "Top Stories" is all this unnecessary violence going on in Missouri. Halfway down the page, barely noticeable, are finally two stories about police doing good. I hate the media...
