Things I've learned from watching C.O.P.S.
Facebook ^ | ongoing | walford

If you say "I didn't do nothing man" enough times, the officer will typically think, "ya know, this man is so adamant that he's innocent, I believe him. I'll let him go."

If you struggle hard enough with the police while they're trying to put cuffs on you, the officers will typically think, "this one has spirit; I'll let him go."

The one with no shirt is the innocent man.

Only innocent people run from the police. "I wuz scurred!"

Even if the officer finds contraband on the subject, if he's black, the officer is in reality hassling him on account of race.

When an officer comes upon a huge mess involving blood, destroyed property, etc. and gets conflicting stories about what happened, the one who said "nothing" is the one telling the truth.

There is a dope fairy out there who randomly tosses dope into houses, cars, unsuspecting people's pockets, etc. The fact that these people always have criminal records involving dope is irrelevant. Therefore, the officer should always believe the subject when he says, "it's not mine, man."

When a car with dark windows is finally stopped after a long chase by the police, nobody was driving.

Or.. they "borrowed the car from a friend" and they're heading to the store.

What I’ve learned from COPS - the poor are often their own worst enemy.

When my children were young, we watched COPS.

It was instructional and educational. Only when they were old enough to understand; we would watch episodes and I would show them that there really are bad people in this world, and this is what they look like, its where they live, its how they act, and its what they do.

And then I would reassure them that I would protect them.

Then pop in yet another Disney video.

Most outrageous line ever uttered on COPS.

Ain't nobody hit my sister what ain't married to her!"

Jaw D.R.O.P.

I just saw an episode in which a woman was living with her current boyfriend, her ex-boyfriend and her 2 kids who were sired by at least one other male. As you can imagine, she was a ravishing petite flower.

It taught me I would be absolutely the world’s worst cop.
Would not have the patience to deal with so many idiots.

I would never make it through my first domestic call.
After screaming “You are BOTH TOO STUPID to LIVE!” I’d be emptying my clip.

My father had his Eldorado stolen in 1983.
When they caught a kid dealing drugs out of it, “My auntie gave it to me.”

When a woman is seen entering a strange car, she really is just wanting to get a ride somewhere.

That dope ain't mine - I just bought these pants and didn't check the pockets. It's my cousin's car and he doesn't know I have it.
One of the best is the drunk that rear-ends a cop car on camera during a traffic stop and claims, "I don't drive".

I stopped watching that show when they started setting up drug stings to STEAL cars. And they started doing weekly prostitution stings complete with adolescent smirks.

That show glorifies everything bad that’s happened to “Law Enforcement” the past generation.

What I’ve learned on COPS is what “get on the ground” means to cops. Before watching the show, from a standing position I would have replied, with a confused look on my face, “ahh ... I’m already on the ground” to that command.

My favorite episode was the one where that cop was busting out the front windows of a house on fire. Yelling for the occupants to get out. The house is on fire!

Except he had the wrong house. The house on fire was next door.

The biggest thing I learned from COPS is I don’t want to go anywhere near El Paso, TX or Jacksonville, FL.

While there are a few comedic spots here and there, what gets reinforced week after week is how cops HAVE TO interface with the scum of the earth on a daily basis.
I just could not do that.

I have not had television since 1997, but that was my viewpoint back then.

I’d rather watch The First 48.

You and me both, brother. These cops have the patience of saints. It also clued me in as to how to interpret what is shown on the news compared to what likely actually happened in a specific incident.

That was why I immediately figured out what happened in the Ferguson fiasco. The so-called ‘witnesses’ who said the police “shot im inna back” looked, sounded and acted just like the lying hood-rats that you’d see on any C.O.P.S. episode.

How anyone would believe those @ssclowns — and act upon assumptions based upon race — is beyond absurd.

Almost 100% of the people that are “guests” on the show have abstained from drugs or alcohol for more than 30 days and therefore incapable of what it is that they are being filmed for.

That wearing your pants down around the middle of your butt really does help you run when the police say “freeze.”

Taking a swing at a police officer is always, always a wonderful idea.

Stupidity is generally hereditary but it should never prevent someone from trying out run police cars, radios, helicopters, and dogs.

That after consuming massive amounts of alcohol, the correct answer is always “two.” (See Rosemary Lehmberg aka Drunky the wonder DA)

When the police are yelling, “GET ON THE GROUND,” it’s actually only a suggestion. You can stand, sit, dance, run, whatever you like. And the cops won’t mind.
