"Crime doesn't pay!"
“Do you have anything in your pockets that might stick or cut me when I search you?”
“...uh, nah.”
After first, I'll admit, I loved seeing the perps get tased, or seeing the canines turned loose on them. Now I watch though, and I almost feel sorry for some of them. Yes, they made bad decisions along the way--yes, they sought the "easy way out," either through making money illicitly, or chose to escape reality by getting involved with drugs.
But I look at these people, grown men and women, still acting like little children. They don't take responsibility for their actions:
I don't know how that 10-pound bag of weed got in my car, officer!
Officer: "Why did you give them a ride if you knew they were carrying drugs on their person?"
Perp: I don't even know that person...they just asked me for a ride across town!
Officer: "Why are there bags of meth in your center console?"
Perp: I lent my car to someone, and they must've put it there!"
Officer: "But why are their bags of meth in your pants?"
Perp: I don't even know, I didn't put them there!"
It's the same theme, over and over again. Adults whose lives are subject to random chance and happenstance; they're never the cause, always the victim.
“Why were you running?”
“Cause you was chasin’ me”
If you like true crime stories, check out “Joe Kenda, Homicide Hunter” on one of the Discovery channels. He’s a retired Colorado Springs homicide detective - excellent program.
I may look white but I am really black in my heart and if cops don’t leave me alone they are racist
Don’t try to run from a German Shepherd.
It’s just the word “COPS”, not an acronym “C.O.P.S.”
I believe that COPS is the reason why we have so many meatheads in law enforcement. Over the years, this show has put the idea in people’s heads that anyone with a badge and a gun can be a cop and get away with anything. That stereotype has bred a new type of cop.
My son learned to be afraid of cops because they will always beat you up.
On a business trip, a co-worker and I were discussing COPS. I said that as long as you didn’t have a mullet, weren’t wearing a white tank top undershirt,weren’t accuse of beating your wife and weren’t in Las Vegas, you were ok.
A few hours later, I’m in my hotel room and turned on the tv. COPS was on. First thing I saw was a guy with a mullet and a white tank top. The officer was telling him he had to quit beating up on his wife. Camera pulls back and sure enough, it was a Las Vegas police car.
I’ve noticed for some time now that most people who get in trouble with the law are black.
My biggest takeaway from the show...
If you do find yourself in the position of running from the police and you get away, even briefly, don’t stop and hide - just keep running.
If you stop, you’ll get caught in a perimeter and they will find you. If they don’t, the dogs they’ll bring in will.
At least if you keep running, you have a chance of getting outside the search perimeter.

"Crime doesn't pay!"
there were good boys or girls....
I learned my family wasn’t so bad after all.
It was a great lesson for my girls growing up about the type of people they didn’t want to hang with or become.
It made me surprised more cops don’t just burst into flames.
Imagine what real punishment might do?
Public hangings, pubic canings, the stocks, hard labor...
