“Live PD,” which premiered in 2016, was axed by A&E and producer Big Fish Entertainment in June 2020 in the wake of George Floyd’s death, which spurred national outrage over police brutality. At the time, it was A&E’s top-rated series and had just received an additional 160-episode order.

This reminds me of when A&E canceled Duck Dynasty. Because Phil had made a speech accurately and correctly pointing out the physical dangers of queer sex.
