Live PD

I suspect that any cop show is only going to show you well-behaved cops and provocative criminals....


They aren't going to show you cops executing a search warrant on the wrong house and shooting the family dog when it barks.

I guess we shouldn’t bother broadcasting what police work is supposed to look like. Why bother educating people in a format that is entertaining and fun to watch? And we certainly shouldn’t show material that paints law enforcement in a good light. We can’t have that. We have to remember that ALL departments are filled to the brink with corrupt cops looking to shoot dark skinned people for no reason because they think it is fun.

I will never get the cop haters. Or in this case “live pd” haters. Seriously? How can you dislike a show that actually depicts law enforcement doing what they are supposed to?

It's strange. You seem really angry about "cop haters" but none of the things you criticize were actually in my innocuous post, which I have to remind you.....

....does NOT say police work should not be broadcasted

....does NOT say "we certainly shouldn’t show material that paints law enforcement in a good light."

....does NOT say "ALL departments are filled to the brink with corrupt cops looking to shoot dark skinned people for no reason because they think it is fun."

....does NOT say anything about whether or not I "like" the show.





I guess I'll never understand someone so utterly in love with policing that they feel the need to dishonestly attack someone simply because they point out that even a so-called "live" show is going to cut out the nasty stuff and is more likely to show cops behaving well. What I said quite literally TRUE. I proved it. Not that I should have had to....

Anyway, despite the fact that you are constantly defending cops here no matter what the circumstances are, I will not call you a "cop defender."

Gog off a per year standard is not honest when quoting totla number of cops...

Ok. How long using the stats I quoted before more than half of all officers are involved in a fatal shooting? You still haven't addressed how many of them are justified.

Straw Man. My argument is do any cops join for the reason to legally kill a person.

Only a minuscule amount if any. If they really want to kill someone then they should've joined tge military in a combative role as killing someone as a cop is a rare occurance.

Another show like this, just a little less refined is "Under Arrest" on Netflix. It's about Canadian cops.

I watched that show.

In just two episodes three citizens that were being questioned accused the officers of stopping them because for their race or skin color.

None of that existed of course.

It looks like the American disease that is false accusations has spread to Canada.
