Um, doesn’t “woke” equal “broke”?

My dad will be happy to hear this outcome. He loved watching the ‘Live PD’ programs and was so disappointed when they stupidly took them off the air.

I’m not surprised. A&E doesn’t have much going for them. I enjoyed watching Live PD at the gym.

When it launched, the network was known as “Arts and Entertainment”, it had very good content. It morphed into this vouyeristic watch people get arrested garbage.

I have to admit that I do miss Live PD. It was my Friday night and Saturday television. The officers they followed were always respectful to those they came in contact with.

I presume that the reason leftists pressured A&E into dropping the show was because they want to more easily attack nameless, faceless cops as being “evil”. This will make it easier for them to defund the police forces, and endanger the lives of the poor, who cannot afford personal bodyguards and security systems like the rich can.I can’t think of anything that screams ‘state propaganda’ more than Cops and Live PD
What “Live PD” did was humanize the cops, permitting us to see that they’re regular people, just like the rest of us.
Data shows that the police are pretty much color blind, treating people of all races somewhat similarly.
Thank the next police person you see for protecting us, and for risking their health on a daily basis.

It was kind of ridiculous that they cancelled it in the first place, but I wasn’t much of a fan myself. I can’t stand “reality” cop shows. They’re heavily edited and, yes, scripted (at least partially). I’m kind of sick of people telling me at work that I should handle things a certain way because that’s what they saw on Cops. Yeah really, people tell us that. My favorite incident, however, that still makes me laugh, was when a person I arrested after a traffic stop told me that the arrest was invalid because I followed him for more than “two left turns”. Learned it in a cop show apparently. His case did not get dismissed as he had planned (I should clarify that I don’t laugh at him personally, just the TV-derived “wisdom” of a large segment of the population. )

I found this show which began in 2014, and is still going strong:
El Dorado County Sheriff John D’Agostini and his office will star in a new reality series premiering Saturday, Sept. 20 on Fox 40.
“Sheriffs … El Dorado County” is “not your typical ‘COPS,’” D’Agostini said at a press conference, “where you only see the crazy stuff,” such as only chasing criminals. “You see the true operation of the Sheriff’s Office.” In a press release, D’Agostini added that he wants “to encourage all citizens of El Dorado County to watch this show and observe firsthand how the employees of their Sheriff’s Office are at work on their behalf. So too, I would hope we all take great pride in sharing with the larger community of Northern California what a great place El Dorado County is to live, work and raise our families.”
The show started as a “simple recruiting tool” that spun out into a 26-episode series captured by Foothill 7, co-owned by Mike Dennis and Ron Thompson.
Dennis said that the series is special in that viewers are getting transparency with the EDSO, something most law enforcement offices are reluctant to give. “It’s hard to open up, people don’t understand (law enforcement),” Dennis said. He added that the “men and women here are heroes. They risk their lives every day. It’s a tremendous eye-opener, to watch how compassionate they are.” Everyone the deputies talked to in the series was treated with dignity, he said, a reflection of the community they serve.
The Foothill 7 team followed EDSO for 14 months, twice a week for 12-hour shifts, to capture the more than 2,000 hours of footage, which will be age appropriate with no profanity or blood, though parental guidance is still encouraged. “It’s great for kids to see this,” Dennis said. “If you are a bad guy, you are going to get caught. The cops are the good guys.” Something, he said, adults can forget. Seeing from their perspective changes this. “If they are cranky, we see why they are cranky. If they are nervous, we see why they are nervous.”
The show does not just follow patrol units, Dennis said, but narcotics, explosive ordinance disposal and the Department of Corrections in the jail.
“It’s interesting getting used to,” Deputy Bryan Payne said of the film crew following him around. “It was a great experience. We have a strong culture of transparency. People can do ride-alongs; it’s not atypical. Education is already part of the culture.”
Thompson added the show is “not scripted, tweaked, made up, made for TV. It’s a reality show, but it’s the real deal. I’m very proud of the whole thing.” In the press release, he said, “We’re not in this for fame or fortune … We love our community and we just want to create something local that everyone can benefit from, and definitely enjoy.” Dennis later mentioned the station will be losing money on the venture, but sees it as an important community service and worth the cost.

“We’re excited to showcase this locally created series, and truly feel the partnership with the El Dorado community extends our community driven ethos in a whole new direction,” said FOX40 General Manager Jerry Del Core in the press release.
El Dorado County Film Commissioner Kathleen Dodge called the show “unique” in that it was filmed and produced within the county and that the sheriff “leads in a way that can be open to a lot of things.” Plus, she added, should the series continue, it could provide employment opportunities. This also keeps money in the county. She called the series “very, very exciting. I’m hoping it’s successful and I applaud their efforts,” she said of the film crew. She said there has been international interest in the show, particularly from Japan.

To me, LivePD was like going on a police ride-along from the comfort of your home.
I would’ve thought that all citizens would appreciate a show about police transparency in which cameras film the officers’ every movement and interaction with the public.
If having all your actions recorded on camera doesn’t provide an incentive to do the right thing, I don’t know what would.
