A&E has decided not to run new episodes of “Live PD” this Friday and Saturday, while Paramount Network has delayed the Season 33 launch of “Cops,” the long-running reality series that was scheduled to return on Monday.
The decision to hold “Live PD” and “Cops” comes as protests over police brutality continue across the nation following the killing of George Floyd by Minnesota police officers, shining a spotlight on the widespread abuse by law enforcement against African Americans.

Because pandering to thugs always works well.

Less and less to watch on TV folks. Its increasingly becoming more difficult to watch TV because of political leanings. Why should I watch anything on a specific channel when they support violence?

Honestly, it's probably a good idea. If someone is planning on targeting a cop, being on television might be an extra incentive.

Something people that don't watch Live Pd may not know. It is not really live, there is a significant delay. They do that so anything really horrible doesn't get aired. Anyone thinking they can off a cop on live tv is sorely mistaken. So, on that note, Abrams and his bunch could easily air just the good stuff, that is encounters that show the good side of community policing. They missed a huge opportunity here.

Hollywood is already losing billions of dollars since the China virus then the fear hysteria hit. My hubby loves Blue Bloods - but the very name is probably give THEM trouble.

I stopped reading when I got to widespread.
Last year 49 unarmed men were killed by police.
19 of them were black
30 of them white.
19 out of 320 million is NOT widespread.

A new series, " I'm White and I'm Wrong".............each week a diverse group of white people will confess their acts of anti blackness ( wearing hoop earrings , referring to a bruise as a " Black and Blue", eating watermelon and fried chicken, etc ) and ask forgiveness for their mini/macro/ whatever aggressions.

These were just fillers to help make up the other 998 useless channels. They are even running reruns of the Three Stooges and ironically, those are better than most of the rest of it.

LivePD will be back live next week. Thankfully they haven't pulled the rerun episodes available on Comcast. So I'll be watching one of those tonight instead. I like LiveRescue, but not as much as I like my LivePD!!

Why is this a one sided affair?
How about training for the criminals?
Defund the blacks who's lives don't matter.
Hire some white left and right tackles?

Since these folks are so worried about cop shows the need to ban the networks' evening news.

These shows could be replaced by new reality tv: "DeShawn and TaWanabe's Drug Factory", "Streetcorner Hooking", "Stealing Whities Stuff", ... Ya'll get the idea. Start showing stuff that's pertinent to the lowest levels of the population.

Bring back the radio version of Amos and Andy. Google it for an eye opener.

Watch the "First 48". Many, many young and old black lives being lost. The lefties could care less.

These shows must be removed, because they often contradict The Narrative that: Police only confront innocent people of color; in fact no people of color misbehave; and in fact only "white" people can be bad. To clear up which people are white once and for all, put a photo of white George Zimmerman next to a photo of Hispanic Beto O'Rourke. So there.

My kids grew up watching "Cops" with me and I know they learned some valuable lessons about the relationships between crime, alcohol, drugs, and late nights. Haven't watched it in a while but I remember most of those arrested (and resisting arrest) being white losers.

Gotta hide that stuff from the dutiful sjw’s!
Can’t let reality get in the way of narrative!
Our black community has NO criminals!
Seems they’re ALL slurping the kool-aid!

First 48 was filmed on Cleveland until the mayor decided it showed the black people in a bad way. The show brought a couple MILLION dollars to the city.That aside, I love PD live. LOVE IT. Especially the cops that don't wear a regular uniform. I think the group is from Alabama . Not sure, but the one cop had a flowered shirt on. And he owned it! It takes a real man that can wear a shirt like that and still get the culprit. I think all the plice on that show have the patience of Job.

You often hear about blacks being stopped more often the whites. And the inference is the cops are racist. I was once stopped as a suspected murderer. Am I black? No. I am white. Why was I stopped? My car, and I MATCHED the description of the murderer. So why are so many blacks stopped? They match the description of many of the people the cops are looking for! In other words the CRIMINALS! It got so bad the newspaper wouldn't give the description of the criminals because they almost always black. This was in Oakland, California in the late 1960's. Got away from there more than 50 years ago.

That is the only thing I watch on TV but Gold Rush.
They are not going to sell me anything with their fifteen minute commercials.
