I invite others to offer what they've learned about the human spirit from that show. Feel free to send me a friend request on Facebook.

When a car with dark windows is finally stopped after a long chase by the police, nobody was driving.

Or.. they "borrowed the car from a friend" and they're heading to the store.

What I’ve learned from COPS - the poor are often their own worst enemy.

[Responsibility2nd]

When my children were young, we watched COPS.

It was instructional and educational. Only when they were old enough to understand; we would watch episodes and I would show them that there really are bad people in this world, and this is what they look like, its where they live, its how they act, and its what they do.

And then I would reassure them that I would protect them.

Then pop in yet another Disney video.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Most outrageous line ever uttered on COPS.

Ain't nobody hit my sister what ain't married to her!"

Jaw D.R.O.P.

When a woman is seen entering a strange car, she really is just wanting to get a ride somewhere.

[dainbramaged]

That dope ain't mine - I just bought these pants and didn't check the pockets. It's my cousin's car and he doesn't know I have it.
One of the best is the drunk that rear-ends a cop car on camera during a traffic stop and claims, "I don't drive".

[Forgotten Amendments]

I stopped watching that show when they started setting up drug stings to STEAL cars. And they started doing weekly prostitution stings complete with adolescent smirks.

That show glorifies everything bad that’s happened to “Law Enforcement” the past generation.

[House Atreides]

What I’ve learned on COPS is what “get on the ground” means to cops. Before watching the show, from a standing position I would have replied, with a confused look on my face, “ahh ... I’m already on the ground” to that command.

[edpc]

The biggest thing I learned from COPS is I don’t want to go anywhere near El Paso, TX or Jacksonville, FL.

While there are a few comedic spots here and there, what gets reinforced week after week is how cops HAVE TO interface with the scum of the earth on a daily basis.
I just could not do that.

[Veggie Todd]

I’d rather watch The First 48.

Almost 100% of the people that are “guests” on the show have abstained from drugs or alcohol for more than 30 days and therefore incapable of what it is that they are being filmed for.

That wearing your pants down around the middle of your butt really does help you run when the police say “freeze.”

Taking a swing at a police officer is always, always a wonderful idea.

Stupidity is generally hereditary but it should never prevent someone from trying out run police cars, radios, helicopters, and dogs.

That after consuming massive amounts of alcohol, the correct answer is always “two.” (See Rosemary Lehmberg aka Drunky the wonder DA)

COPS is not real. The perps do the same thing off camera and they’ll get squished by the cops.

[relictele]

Persons foaming at the mouth and/or ignoring gunshot/knife wounds will say ‘No, officer, I haven’t been doing drugs.’

[prof.h.mandingo]

Ex state LEO and probation officer. I always heard from the criminal or especially from the auntie, or grandma that he (the perp) was hanging around with a bad person. I used to tell them, “Tell me who it is and we will arrest this guy that everyone else is hanging out with. We will need only one cell and there will be no more crime after we lock him up.” Silence after that speech. We used to crack up about that one.

[Uversabound]

Totally mindless entertainment but I admit we do love it.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

But as we learned today from the news today. The one thing will get the perp killed is to shoot the C.O.P.S. camera man. That’s worse than bitch slapping Jesus.

[lacrew]

I play a game with my kids, where we try to guess gender/race/crime of the next segment.

Example: Male Mexican with stolen property.

Maybe I’m a terrible person.

We’ve come very close to actually keeping score.

[thescourged1]

Another thing I noticed is the 'perps' talk too much.

Button your lips, don't talk without an attorney present. The police are not your friends, don't buy the 'hey buddy, what's going on?' bonhomie crap.

[Da Coyote]

Anyone waht watched COPS and isn’t on the side of the police has the IQ of a Holder.
