I would suggest they have the white black brown ratios of cops and perps be exactly what it is statistically in the area.
It would get ugly.
I always enjoy the facial expressions & tears of the non-shooters when they hear that they too are being charged with capital murder.
I know it has been on a long time, but I don’t think I have seen an episode in five years. I doubt that Fox will get rid of it. It does well for the network and is cheap to make.
First 48 is good stuff. There is a black lady who is an investigator. She is very maternal. I’ve seen her break down these “hard” brothers to the point of them confessing and crying for their momma’s.
I’d be surprised if the PD doen’t reserve the right to approve what footage can be aired as part of the contract with the producers.
Message to ‘ColorOfChange’: Reality bites, doesn’t it?
We, too, watch First 48. Great true reality show.
Under represents Black in positions of authority ...
Yeah, because the stereotypical angry Black police precinct captain is SUCH a positive role model, right?
“Stupid Criminal”
I hate redundancy. ;-)
“Civil Rights Group Urges Fox to Cancel ‘Cops’”
To the above, in the words of Jack Nicholson in his portrayal of a Marine commander “You can’t handle the truth!”
ColorOfChange needs to alter it’s name to HideTheFacts.
I learned everything I need to know about US urban life from COPS!
I learned to avoid many many US cities - this was useful knowledge.
For a show like Cops to work, they have to go where the action is. It’s not whitey’s fault that a particular demographic creates more opportunities to video record crime than another!
Sgt Caroline Mason of Memphis Homicide is who I believe you are refering to.
Are black men tired of being viewed with suspicion? Then let the decent men clean house in their own 'hoods, getting rid of the vermin who just happen to look like them. If we whiteys did it it would be racist.
Pretty much...all these Civil Rights groups are just race based KKK.
If a show is made that shows blacks getting arrested... it is probably based on fact. If anything.... Cops tends to have a large number of white folks arrested... even in neighborhoods where whites are a noticeable minority
Too many of the perps are People of Color.
Makes ‘em look bad.
