Did they send a similar email to encourage the cancellation of Jerry Springer and Maury Povich, who in my opinion has done far more damage to the impression one is to get about black people - trashy, unemployable, ignorant and mouthy.

My kids are 26 and 21 years old. But when they were little rug rats I would have them watch episodes of ‘Cops’. They couldn’t understand it all of course, but it began an education for them early on about the ugly realities of low-life ghetto dwellers and what they do and how they live.

I loved, nurtured and raised my kids in a healthy wholseome envoronment. But even small kids know there is a dark side of life. And ‘Cops’ helped educate them in a positive way.

In its criticism of Cops, ColorOfChange points to research it says media representations such as those on Cops can lead to stigmatization of black men.

And there it is. Video evidence of the preponderance of black men committing crimes is something that the racists at ColorOfChange can't tolerate being broadcast on a nationally syndicated show.

Well....too bad. The truth hurts sometimes doesn't it?

Shows like Cops may be biased but try showing the LEOs as thugs and see how much cooperation comes from the various departments.

Truth is not a defense to the new definition of “racism”. The First Amendment will have to be changed in the new multicultural America.

"Although marketed as unbiased, Cops actually offers a highly filtered version of crime and the criminal justice system — a 'reality' where the police are always competent, crime-solving heroes and where the bad boys always get caught," the email reads in part.

Imagine if the media's presentation of Democrat vs. Republicans was similarly challenged (especially with regards to scandals and pending legislation).

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 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.

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.

Under represents Black in positions of authority ...

Yeah, because the stereotypical angry Black police precinct captain is SUCH a positive role model, right?

“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!

"Against the real-world backdrop of an American culture that views young men like Trayvon Martin and Jordan Russell Davis with suspicion," the email continues, "the stakes couldn't be higher."

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.
