COPS is nothing but a police propaganda show following the aftermath of the Rodney King riots. Most of it is edited to put a positive light on the police departments. But I think it was cancelled because of the real-life graphic violence.
COPS Cancelled
- Thread starter unassuming
- Start date
Like most reality TV, it's scripted ahead of t5ime and the shows police "advisors" make sure the cops are always the good guys.. you think George Floyd would ever be in an episode, or Mr. Gugino (the 75 year old "antifa terrorist" that the cops put in the hospital for several weeks) Maybe if the occasional episode showed up some cops as the stupid, arrogant bullies that they all to well know how to be...
Or maybe the scripted show can actually go into the "HOOD" and show America how the other side live?
Im sure you have no issues with walking into a hood not of your race controlled by gangsta's, right?
How dare a company do what they think is in the best interests of their profit margin. Damn capitalists.
Been there, done that. Used to play mini-golf at Jane Finch despite being a little white boy. Never had an issue (but I don't fly a confederate flag like you do).
no big loss, there are 32 seasons already,
and the earlier ones were better anyway, less political correction, more tasers
for those proposing "defund police", I would suggest they watch a few episodes, to see the kind of human garbage (of all colors and races) the police has to deal with in a regular basis

You're taking the argument too far. A&E had just ordered 160 episodes of PD Live before the nationwide protests. WSJ said it was A&E's most popular program. So profit margins were not the basis of this decision.
I personally couldn't care less about cop shows. The episodes seemed redundant to me. Obviously, someone was watching the shows.
Absolutely profit margins are part of this. Police violence just became a major issue in the US and A&E see that leaving the program unchanged is not in their best interests and the announcement is good for their image. No one forced them, there was no petition to do it, and there were no threats, and no government action.
It's not any different from nascar deciding to ban the rebel flag. It's enlightened corporate policy, not bending a knee to "SJW's".
