    A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

    This is the one and ONLY best police action programs EVER aired! The situations and varied encounters that law enforcement face are portrayed realistically and honestly. NO narration to sway your impression of the participants. Truly a treasure for years to come. Unfortunately A&E has tried to copy-cat this series with its all new "PD-Live. It's a far cry from C.O.P.S. and in many ways owes its intimate camera shots to the original show. You see, I don't think any police force would allow major camera "ride-along" crews if it hadn't been for the GREAT experience they've had with the C.O.P.S production teams. Even the public now expects an honest forthright portrayal of these 911 calls because of the decent representations that have materialized from an experienced team of cinematic pros. I sure hope people DON'T get sucked into the newer programs and remain loyal to the show that "started it all".... C.O.P.S.!

    This is a reality TV series featuring true stories of law enforcement officers from various regions and departments of the United States. The television camera captures real footage of the officers in action as they serve and protect.Like cop show Real Stories of the Highway Patrol, this show covers a variety of cases from chasing down drug dealers to high-speed car chases. It is interesting seeing officers on duty in action, with a camera following their moves. At times, it can me more intense than watching a movie because the action here is real.Overall, this show has more adrenaline, action and intrigue than Real Stories of the Highway Patrol.Grade B

    Cops is weekend prime-time 30-minute action-packed "reality" TV show, where cameramen ride along with on-duty police officers, purportedly showing real-live incidents as they occur while the police officers are on duty.Unlike other law-enforcement-biased "reality" shows, such as "Real Stories of the Highay Patrol", COPS restricts any and all commentary to the video-recorded events of the same duty-shift. At least as far as I have seen, except when COPS combines episodes with other "reality" based law-enforcement shows, each segment starts with a police officer driving along in his car, or meeting with other law-enforcement officers, making general comments about their perception of law-enforcement, or saying something specific, to set up the upcoming action scenes.Then it shows some scenes of the ride-along officers encountering the public in response to form of complaint, and sometimes it shows the resolution of those complaints.It is completely unscripted, and off the cuff.It often shows actual disturbances, violence, bloodshed, and actual death.It often shows police brutality and officers defaming the character of the people they encounter.It often shows people in the process of committing a crime.It also, often shows police officers in the process of committing crimes.But it never shows the crime-committing cops being handcuffed.This is a dangerously biased show.It is a show depicting that COPS can do no wrong.It does state at the beginning of each episode that "all suspects are considered innocent until proved guilty in a court of law", but it's always some other bad guys, not the criminals of a badge-bearing kind, who get cuffed and stuffed, and in some cases, brutalized. And it is quite clear that the vast majority of the badge-bearers consider the suspects guilty.And it's edited to be this way.It's edited to appear to be some sort of "good versus evil", but it is not. It is nothing short of evil vs. evil, and sometimes its the perp who's more evil, and other times it's the badge-bearer. But it's always the badge-bearer whose opinions get final input on each and every segment, and usually a very rude bash of the people they were hired to protect and serve.It is sick and it it is twisted, and it is in a time spot known to be predominantly viewed by adolescents.On a scale of one-to-ten for entertainment value, I would quite honestly and with great justification give it a negative ninety-nine.The worst nightly news show in a third-world country would receive a greater rating from me than this atrocious filth.

    "COPS" is about when camera crews follow around police officers in their squad cars, having to deal with the general public in their communities and arresting suspects (the cops does know right from wrong). It beats reruns of "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives". I have been watching "COPS" and "America's Most Wanted" religiously every Saturday night for the last eight years. I can't find nothing worth watching on Saturday nights anymore. The most memorable episodes that I can remember is: when a 12-year-old called his mother a name and she had the police out, they had this teen girl in 1993 or 1992 that was high on drugs, she knew the police officer and was the strongest person. It took three or four police officers to handcuff her. Another episode when the guy was dress in a leopard suit. Then they had the sad episodes, when they had to find another guy hanging from a tree, or another guy that killed himself in the back of a store. The TV show came to a town two hours from mines I really wish that they would come to Topeka. I would like to see how the TPD handle the general public and arrest suspects without going on a ride along. After watching "COPS", I'm thinking to myself, "What a bunch of imbeciles." Then I'm very proud of how smart and law abiding that I am compared to the buffoons that they show on "COPS".
