I really, really hope this makes the cut into an episode.

/keep Portland weird et al

Didn't they already do this episode?

Sinister Steve: Didn't they already do this episode?

Good question, but at least the Simpsons haven't already done it.

They're still filming this show?

DaWormyPimpsta: They're still filming this show?

Why not? Cheap original programing for a night that is known for not having a lot of viewers.

Look for relatives?

if they are still filming this, why dont I ge anything but reruns?

shiat just got real.

They're still filming this show?

Yes, but only in the PNW

I can't watch that show because cops freak me out so much.

srtpointman: I love this show. It's the only reality tv show that's actually real. Plus the mullets are always awesome.

I especially like it when they do it in my home town.

I like the Filipino version of this show.

cryinoutloud: I can't watch that show because cops freak me out so much.

They ruin the show.

In other news, Cops is being filmed in Portland right now. This is a chance to be famous!

/we need more good clips for the video tab

i always thing this show tries to give the rest of the US a good picture of what it means to live in GA

/Laurens county, GA: A man and his brother have a taken local prostitute hostage in the back of their stolen RV intent on driving to Las Vegas to see if a preacher on the strip will marry the three of them. Little did they know they were gambling with their lives.

What you gonna do when you hit a Cops TV crew?

...put the car into overdrive and keep going till you hit Mexico.

It doesn't sound like you're channeling COPS, it sounds more like "World's Most....." "World's Wildest" etc

Sinister Steve: Didn't they already do this episode?

Yep. A cruiser with the camera in it T-boned/was T-boned by another cruiser. Some of the finest TV my eyes have ever seen.

...right after the morning briefing where the watch commander asked them please not to wreck any more cars because three of them were in the shop, IIRC. Brought a tear to my eye. Still does, because I first saw that episode not too long after one of my guys wrecked one of our brand-new Crown Vics on a rainy day running to a call after I told him to stand down. Guys in uniform are the worst drivers on the planet.

My dad watches that show like it's the goddamn Playboy Channel. Every time I go over there that stupid show is on. Well, that and Fox News...go figure!

my bad same idea though

Watch a current episode of cops and then an episode from 15-20 years ago. Notice how things have changed...

I caught part of a re-run a week or two ago. Cruisers were square back caprices to give an idea of when it was filmed. This drunk guy gets attacked in a park so he goes home and gets his shotgun and goes back looking for the guys that attacked him.

The cops are in this guy's living room... there are guns (mostly antique) and knives all over the place and the cops perfectly calm. The guy is just sitting on his couch. They are talking about what happened and his guns.... calmly. like regular people.

What happens? drunk guy is taken to the drunk tank. Guns are given to a neighbor for safe-keeping.

Now think how this would go today.

Another old episode I saw... cop has this guy pulled over when a drunk driver clips the police cruiser and crashes into the back of the pick-up that's pulled over. The officer walks calmly back to the drunk's vehicle and asks him he's ok. He is. She then has him get out of the vehicle and calmly arrests him. No raising of voice, nothing but rational, calm, professional behavior.

The then and now difference is really amazing. It just shows how slow the frog is being brought to a boil.

Bathia_Mapes: Sinister Steve: Didn't they already do this episode?

There was an episode of COPS years ago where two police cars responding to the same call collided. The car carrying the officers & COPS crew was driving through an intersection when another police car coming from the right T-boned them.

From COPS: Too Hot To Handle, about 8:15 in. Some NSFW content.

Ouch. Also I liked the kid who claimed that the blood on his shirt came from popping a zit. LOL at that.

awesome thanks!

FTFA: "Wheat said alcohol likely factored in the wreck..."

Am I alone in thinking that maybe cops shouldn't drink before their shifts?

Original? How many times can you watch a toothless redneck in a wifebeater, if he has a shirt on at all, try to hide under one of those crappy plastic pools before it starts to get old?

FOR.THE.REST.OF.MY.LIFE.

Airfoilsguy: In be for the cop hate really gets started.

/Pathetically predictable

tard.

/predictably pathetic

Best episode of Cops

I was trying to find video of the episode of COPS where the guy tries to hide under the pool, and in the process I found this picture:

and a search for Kiddie Pool Explosion brings this:


Please don't search for Kiddie Pool Explosion with Safesearch off. I don't trust it.

Amen. COPS will never get old.

Yeah, I'm a CJ student in Mass. One of our profs. (who's also a cop) told us that it's state law here that all emergency vehicles must fully stop for two seconds at every stop sign and red light, even when responding to a call code three. You could hear the reluctance in his voice. (Mentally I was calling bullshiat on actual practice of said law.)

playblu : I did see the one where sombody responding to a call got T-boned at an intersection.

That wasn't cops, that was an episode of Alias.

Fuzz, the musical

"I want you to take this, the dust, the sirens, the coppers, the handcuffs, the hillbilleyness, the breathalyzing, excrutiating arrestedness of it all!"

glenlivid: Best episode of Cops, evar!

TROOPS!

By now, the crew of Cops ought to know nobody nah give you no break

srtpointman: I love this show. It's the only reality tv show that's actually real. Plus the mullets are always awesome.

You should watch the First 48. Way more interesting IMO and just as "real"

I didn't even know that show is still on.
