We mourn an icon of American entertainment. I guess programming that shows what kind of people the police actually deal with every day might garner a little too much sympathy.

Cops no longer giving permission to film while they riot across the country. Makes sense from their perspective.

I'm looking forward to the Ogie spinoff where people hunt down cops for sport.

There is probably a correlation between when Cops began and an increase in police assholery.

The TV show "Cops" should be called "Cops & Blacks".

what the fuck? why would you pull these? are they actually scared that they portray cops in a good way? why would that be a bad thing?

There is a podcast series called Running from Cops and it shows how the sausage is made behind the scenes for Cops and Live PD that show why it is probably a bad idea to turn policing into "entertainment."

I suspect no brand wants their product to be a sponsor for the show when public opinion has justly turned against police in this country.

because 40% of them beat their wives and the rest help cover it up

I think Cops normalize or desensitized (whichever is the correct one) the country to no knock raids and property confiscation.

I watched the shit out of Live PD for a time and was consistently amazed how readily people would waive their Miranda rights.
