1. Fucking Gestapo.
Cops don't give a fuck about people or their families or their rights or their pocketbooks.

Yow, I watch it AND GET PISSED.

3. I watch it from time to time
just to see places I've been to before...I especially like the Sacramento, KC cops programs...and the one I saw in Alaska was weird.

4. Yeah, they did Jersey City, NJ once and my dad's friend was on it.
He wasn't one of the dick cops though, so that was good to see.

10. I'm going to be somewhat dick-ish here but...
DU has a spell check. It's fast and free. Use it early and often. Grammar and punctuation help, as well.

Reading posts lacking all three is annoying as all hell. Do you write like that in school?

14. It's annoying and I was an English major.

Unless you're e.e. cummings or James Joyce, punctuation and grammar count. I automatically edit writing like yours in my head and it's a pain. Why would you intentionally leave it out? There's no good reason.

20. Hey, it's your choice.
Personally, I like to show that I have a decent command of the English langauge, but to each their own. I mean, it seems to be working out somewhat well for Mr. Bush.

8. How about the other half of the people you see on Cops?
I'm speaking about the half you see that you are not as stupid as. Is that other half smarter than you?

11. Hold on a minute. You're using "Cops" for 'background noise?'
Are you serious? Your girlfriend stands for that?

Least.Romantic.or.Sexy.Background.Noise.Ever.

17. Of all the things on television, though? "Cops?"
:wtf:

The background noise of some cops running down a tweaker and struggling with him, are not exactly the sort of thing one normally has sex to. There's good beatings and there are bad beatings. "Cops" would be the bad beatings to have as "background noise."

Geez, CNN or "Everybody Loves Raymond" would be hotter.

19. I actually think it's the most annoying show ever.
But I mean, if "Cops" is the 'mood music' then who knows?

26. amazing, isn't it?
they shouldn't accuse us of spreading 'the gay' around when they've got shit like Everybody Loathes Raymond on the tube.

27. Seriously. Everybody Loathes Raymond probably has resulted in more
women earning toasters, than the concerted efforts of lesbians nationwide.

She's still a freeper, however.

32. Oh, I call people bitches all the time.
I only got called out on it once. It was quite humorous, as it was with someone very indignant about my language, while protesting furiously, at the same time, that she was not offended. She was just watching out for me, in case I offended somebody other than her. Everyone else seemed okay with my choice of language.

:rofl:

35. Annoying, for sure ...
From what I have seen, it could never be daily fare.
It's propaganda. "Look at these nice guys!", it says. I've seldom been witness in reality to the personality types depicted on COPS.
I would love to see the unedited versions; the language, the clubs, the harrassment, etc. I'd kill myself if the only options were COPS and Dog & Beth!
jmo
...O...

21. I hate the show, as it is designed to destroy our collective free will.
The existence of the so-called show "Cops" is a manifestation of the breakdown of society, and an expression of the dark, emptiness in the hearts of sycophants who grovel at the feet of authority.

23. I really like it
reminds me why I don't drink and get high anymore (that's personal, just for me)

I kind of cringe when I see those women on there who don't want their s.o.'s arrested for dv because I've actually been in those shoes too...kind of embarassing. It bothers me when people judge them because I never thought I would end up in that situation but I have, I could have been on a classic cops episode in that respect.

31. I watch COPS when it's on if there's nothing else better is on.

They always want to search people's cars and end up doing it.
