From the article:

  Of the pages of officers whom the Plain View researchers could positively identify, about 1 in 5 of the current officers, and 2 in 5 of the retired officers, made public posts or comments that met that threshold — typically by displaying bias, applauding violence, scoffing at due process, or using dehumanizing language. The officers mocked Mexicans, women, and black people, celebrated the Confederate flag, and showed a man wearing a kaffiyeh scarf in the crosshairs of a gun.

That's an incredibly broad range of subjective infractions. Looking at the examples from the article, one is the "I would of pulled the trigger." - that's in response to an armed robber, a clear case of hypothetical self-defense. The other is "Execute all involved," - is it wrong to believe the death penalty is appropriate punishment for the murder of a six year old child?

I wouldn't characterize using lethal force when someone pulls a gun on you, or advocating for the death penalty for child murderers, as unreasonable positions.

Translation: "80% of officers never wrote a single thing that we could paint in a negative light."
