DAMN!

The channel is a Disney affiliate though so this probably won't affect much

"Get woke, go broke" generally doesn't actually happen and is normally just a dumb saying that gets overused to describe things it doesn't really apply to. Though few instances of wokeness involve killing off your #1 money maker. The phrase really does fit this situation pretty well. Hope the virtue points were worth it.

Of course they lose 49% That's all that channel ever played. After the live version they replayed the whole thing. Then during the day they would show older ones or best of. I never really saw anything else on that channel.

It was a dumb move on their part. I can understand people who are looking for fundamental reform to the way policing is done in the country, but this weird notion that any representation of cops that doesn't show them as evil is somehow harmful is nonsense. How are you supposed to restore trust even after reforms if their only representation in media is villainous?

It's one of the reasons so many people don't give a shit about modern broadcast TV channels now. They're obviously doing that to capitalize on binge-watching like on streaming platforms, but with so much time in the day, they don't have a lot of different shows to get people interested.

Live PD is them catering to regressives. It is the type if show that caters to the lowest common denominator audence.

I mean I could agree with this if the Departments from Cops and Live PD didn't have final say over what actually aired and there weren't legitimate examples of them using that power to bury things.

Yeah I loved those shows. Always made you feel good about yourself when you look at how completely stupid these people were/are. "Why were you running?" "I was scared" That's been used a million times and it hasn't worked ONCE. Move on to something else.

It was action, non-metaphorical copoganda. So yes, it should have been canceled. Any issues they're having now is a longstanding issue of garbage programming.

I have literally never posted on Twitter once or interacted with Twitter in any meaningful way. It's well known that both Cops and Live PD were represented as "real" looks at what officers have to deal with. This was especially misleading with Live PD because the police were effectively editors of the show and showed illegal conduct without comment, while suppressing any bad conduct that couldn't be ignored. Thus the label, copoganda. Do you have anything to say about that?

Taking cops off the air too is a horrible decision. You get a very small glimpse of what a cop has to deal with on a daily basis but it's crazy enough. You hardly get the "I can break these cuffs" "yes papi" moments but it's worth it.

https://www.mlive.com/news/detroit/2013/06/ae_the_first_48_footage_of_the.html

According to that first link, they destroy all unused footage 30 days after an investigation has concluded, and nobody ever asked them for said footage in this case. It wasn't until 15 months later that people started digging and by then it was long gone. That... isn't exactly "destroying evidence", especially since A&E knew the cops also had body cams.

Don't know much about the first 48, though, so if they were up to some shady shit then they should have been punished.

Live PD shouldn't exist.
Is literally cop propaganda. They edit content that puts officers in a bad light, the cops know they're on live camera (which, ironically, makes many act worse), and they've deleted tapes of police officers committing crimes. The only reason it exists is because it makes the precincts featured look better. Often Governors want to kick them out, but precincts will continue to request them.
