.@Vulture on Running From “COPS”:
“@DTaberski’s structural investigations yield important insights into our relationship to law and order in this country” in “one of the year’s best podcasts.” vulture.com/2019/05/running-…
When we started reporting Running From COPS three years ago, we did not imagine states would take this kind of action: hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-…

BREAKING: The Javier Ambler Law, which prevents reality TV shows from partnering with Texas law enforcement, has just passed the state Senate in a 27-3 vote and now heads to the governor’s desk.
Cops consistently presents bad policing as good policing: tasing people when they shouldn’t be tasing, using illegal holds, siccing dogs on people without the proper warning — just over and over.

The fuck is this?
It's (1) pitiful that COPS has to "fulfill commitments in international territories," and (2) immoral that they are still sending out camera crews with American law enforcement right now.

What the fuck?!? @WGNAmerica is bringing COPS back from the dead. @ColorOfChange @rashadrobinson
Earlier this summer, production companies pulled the plug on popular law enforcement shows COPS and Live P.D. Now, the Spokane County Sheriff's Office says Cops crews are back in town and riding along with deputies. kxly.com/despite-earlier-can…

We just got word that Paramount is not bringing COPS back on air. This is huge.

LivePD is still on the air broadcasting police interactions live for entertainment.
You can email A&E to let them know what you think about that: [email protected] #cancellivepd

We just got word that @CopsTV is no longer on Paramount Network's schedule next week. Or on their website at ALL...
