'Cops' cancelled after 32 seasons
- world is changing fast. you can't show black criminals getting arrested on tv.hotroddy
- Well...it's not like TV does enough to stereotype all blacks as violent criminals on daily basis, over and over again. Why would we believe anything else?utopian
- you kidding? I see more black doctors on tv than in real lifehotroddy
- unless you're talking about that self proclaimed gangsters who glorify violence in their music videos.hotroddy
- It was a goofy show that glorified cops hunting people down, doesn't seem so unreasonable to pull the plug after decades on air.yuekit
- glorified? I thought it was educational and was the one of the few shows you could call reality tv. Cops dealing with real situations and real peoplehotroddy
- nothing glorifying about arresting crack headshotroddy
- anyone who thinks cops is 'educational' is special kind of dumbtank02
- american anthropology 101hotroddy
- should be extremely educational for you coming from a privileged part of the world that doesn't have to deal these cultural issueshotroddy
- The whole concept is idiotic. These people are getting paid by us to protect the community, not act in a trashy reality show someone else makes money from.yuekit
- it was a groundbreaking unscripted show spotlighting societal issues and exposing the underbelly of society for what it is.hotroddy
- But now we have to sweep it under rug bc it's too offensive.hotroddy
- i think it's credited as the first reality show.hotroddy
- At one point, the cops on the show accidentally shot and killed their own producer.yuekit
- wow..never knew that. high stakes tvhotroddy
- 32? Better shows have less seasons than this propaganda.pango

- I will try to find the podcast I think on this American life where they discovered when cops had cameras on them for reality tv, they repeatedly harassedshellie
- and chased down people they were familiar with that they thought would be good for tv and they went back over and overshellie
- until they got that tv. then say if they don't sign releases they would go to jail for longer.shellie
- I always wondered why anyone would sign the TV release. easy answer, threats on ther underprivileged that might not know their rights.shellie
- fuck, this was still on?eddieScissors
- worth a watch - https://www.youtube.…Daithi
- HBO has forgotten irony, removed the classic ‘Gone With the Wind’ and erased from history the performance of the first black female Oscar winner Hattie McDanielBustySaintClaire
- @shellie question - we both originate from a part of the world (southern caribbean) where insecurity and crime are rampant.hotroddy
- if you agree it's a problem - what is it about the culture or lack of law enforcement that makes it such a problem?hotroddy
