color of change HUH, don;t they really mean that they hate seeing blacks commit crime and getting arested?
Also this is not the first time this show has been under attack, years ago black groups protested because most of the perps were blacks and the show cops had to edit much of what they got so it shows whites much more
As chairman of the International Association of Men Without Shirts, I have to concur. Not everyone who lounges around the house shirtless is a hardened criminal. I demand restitution.

Reminds me onf one of my favorite CSPAN moments, watching Maxine Waters speaking to an orgnaization called “Mothers Against Mandatory Minimums”, a group of nearly all black women who are opposed to laws which set mandatory minimum prison sentences. It doesn’t get better than that. Pure gold.
Hey, we already have ALL commercials involving home security showing ONLY “white” perps . . . so, maybe COPS should pull a wagon with white guys behind their patrol cars, and when they find the real criminals, stop the cameras, and switch the black perp with the white stand-in.
Isn’t this the Van Jones group Glenn Beck exposed on his FoxNews TV show???
Unscripted, yet doesn’t this sound familiar?
“Sir, the reason I pulled you over is because you didn’t come to a stop at the stop sign. May I please have your license and registration.”
“Sir, after running your license, you have a warrant for your arrest.”
Sir, upon inspection of your car, I found 20 kilos of cocaine in your back seat.”
Did the LSM ever show a recent photo of Trayvon?
Easy answer.
Tell ‘em to shove it up their smelly Obamas.
I prefer cable show ‘The First 48’ where the accused walks a free man into the Police Dept. to talk to homicide detectives after being read his rights and never leaves, ever!
Van Jones = Lying, racist, communist SOB
FOX’s reply:
No.
I can certainly understand why. The hoodie brigade can’t operate in the sunshine.
Those who claim to love freedom of speech, seems to want it only for themselves. The “I’m sick and tired” doesn’t include the great unwashed.
Tell you what, I’ll make a deal with them....you get blacks to stop committing crimes, and we’ll stop showing them on TV, deal?
Columbus, OH had a program of setting out bait cars to catch car thieves. When the perp tried to hot wire the car the doors locked and the stereo started playing the Cops! theme as the police ran up. I'm sure there are still some of the videos from the hidden camera on Youtube.
I guess the truth is painful.
I’d like to see a few episodes of
Cops: The ones that got away.
I’m sure there are plenty of screwups where the perps were able to outsmart, outrun, or otherwise avoid the police. Be fun to occassionally see that.
It would also be more interesting (I think) for them to follow up each segment with the results. Was there a conviction or a plea bargain? What was the time served? Etc.
Cops and shows like it with over-representing whites as police officers and under-representing minorities as authority figures. According to ColorOfChange, Cops glosses over issues such as police misconduct and broadcasts “dehumanizing portrayals” of suspects.

Apparently ‘they’ have never seen the “Cops” shows that feature the Pittsburgh PA Narcotics detachment. Definitely it is hard to tell the players without a scorecard.
They are ‘holding off’ the issues such as ‘dehumanizing portrayals’ until the show “Felons” is launched.
In that one the “Felon” is portrayed as the hero etc...
Starting with “The Shield” which had Michael Chiklis(sp) shedding his ‘Liberal White Bread Cop’ image from “The Commish” most of your new cop/hero shows are BAD GUYS, who you actually start ‘pulling for’....Tony Soprano, Dexter, Boardwalk Empire, Justified is (border line), Banshee to name a few....
