Hopefully, new Live PD shows will be back soon as it is one of my favorite shows:

It's not about being politically correct, why would anyone enjoy watching cops arrest people? I guess the same reason they watched Jerry SpringerCOPS got cancelled over this? Jesus. I no longer watch that show but I used to a lot as a little kid.
Now that I'm thinking about it, ID apparently isn't showing Body Cam and I haven't seen the commercials to it lately (which is supposed to be a more intense COPS, and at times I've found it is when I've had it on), and I was even thinking about watching it tonight when I figured out it wasn't on.
To get silly, we also have this:
Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam go gun-free in ‘Looney Tunes’ cartoon reboot - National | Globalnews.ca
The HBO Max reboot now sees the much-beloved cartoon hunter wielding a brand new weapon to hunt that "pesky wabbit" Bugs Bunny.globalnews.ca
Okay, the PC over this is getting crazy. Old Looney Tunes was and arguably still is my #1 cartoon wise, and Elmer Fudd/Yosemite Sam having guns didn't wreck me at all. I also was watching COPS when I was like 6. People...
Edit: Next we're not going to be able to play Call of Duty on any device.

It's actually pretty popular. Body Cam has been a hit series and Investigation Discovery is pretty well liked. It's not just police action though but people will watch things based off true crime.

Never said it wasn't popular, just don't understand why

Never going to come back. Nothing that deals with guns or cops will be on tv much longer.
I enjoy watching the very difficult job cops have and also admire their courage since they’re often in dangerous situations. So, it helps me better appreciate that there are folks out there willing to take on this very difficult job. It is about much more than watching cops arrest folks.
It also educates me about what happens on the streets every day in poorer areas, helping me to better appreciate that I’m fortunate not to be in a similar situation.

Looks like the old USSR is coming back only this time its Capital will be Washington DC instead of Moscow.
The old original cops shows from the early 90’s was the best. It was and still is good television. Very nostalgic

I never thought of it that way, just felt sorry for the people being arrested. To the each his own
As a kid, I never wanted to be in the shoes of those guys running from the police. When I watch the old Cops reruns now, I get a nostalgic feeling seeing the cops with the old pornstar mustaches and seeing the old cars and cities as they were in the early 90’s. It really is/was a great show
You felt sorry for all of the folks being arrested? What about what caused them to be arrested in the first place? And what about when there are victims as a result of what these arrested folks did to get arrested? Do you feel as sorry for the victims as you do for those arrested?
By the way, arrests on Live PD are not that common as the vast majority aren’t arrested.

I agree with the Live PD comment. I’m actually surprised by how much they let them off with.

Live PD is in a different boat than COPS:
1. It is live normally. So, they can’t pre-pick/edit what to show based on outcomes.
2. Live PD is only 4 years old with great ratings vs COPS being 33 years old with so-so ratings.
So, COPS being canceled doesn’t tell me Live PD will likely be canceled. Hopefully the PC police won’t take the real live police off the air.
Absolutely. I’ve said in the past that folks would better appreciate that there are many good cops out there and that they often do whatever they can to avoid arresting as well as using force against subjects. Watching Live PD tells me this.

Do you remember the cop from Jeffersonville, IN that was on there in previous years? Denver Leverette, he was a human lie detector. He was good at what he done!
