With the return of the popular TV show ‘COPS’, Spokane NAACP President Kurtis Robinson isn’t happy saying that the show disproportionately shows people of color when they are most vulnerable.
As reported by KXLY, COPS will be riding with the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office through November and Robinson says that the timing worries him because people of color have not been portrayed well on the series.
THE COPS I KNOW
Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich defended the show saying that it is important because the public gets a better understanding of what deputies go through every day, and how quickly situations can escalate.
The show COPS first aired in 1989 but was taken off the air after the death of George Floyd and the ensuing protests.
But now, it’s back and Robinson does not like what it represents.

You mean, like the truth?
The first thing the perps always do is lie:
I dindu nothing!
They remind me of Democratic politicians.
I’m pitching a show called “Looters”.
It’s like Storage Wars and Pawn Stars but with more “action” sequences.
Cop reality shows are the #1 show watched in correctional centers by inmates. Ask anyone that’s been to county what show is NEVER missed on the community TV.

Oh well, then by all means, stop the world- poor poor Kurtis isn’t happy!

Or, “I’m claustrophobic”
too bad
stop being criminals
problem solved
A&E needs to bring back Live PD as well. Much more interesting to see the Amish disturbances in real-time.
I suppose they could shoot episodes with nothing but white criminals. But then the blacks would cry “cultural appropriation”.
They could show cops live from my town:
A cop sitting by the golf course stopping drunk kids driving into CT. Until about 2 am. Then they would be responding to drunk kids setting off house alarms when they stumble into their parents house.
Then dogs barking at deer.
Embezzlement and wire fraud do not make exciting television...

Every time I ever watched, it was always tatted-up rednecks getting in trouble, not black people.
Chelsea’s wedding—the real story would have made great TV.
Show how an international extortion scheme using a foundation as a front paid for the Royal Daughter’s Wedding.
I _dare_ the networks to do it!
I’m not happy with the return of RuPaul’s Drag Race and all the other homosexual agenda TV shows.
I bet Kurtis is just fine with all of those.
Is the NAACP ever happy about anything?
Ok NAACP, what ‘cha gonna do?
Bad boys, bad boys whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
