The long-running reality television series Cops has been permanently pulled off the air and competitor Live PD has gone on hiatus amid protests over police brutality and the death of George Floyd.
The season premier of Cops season 33 did not air as scheduled on Paramount Networks on Monday night, and now the channel says it is pulling the plug on the show for good.
'Cops is not on the Paramount Network and we don´t have any current or future plans for it to return,' a spokesperson for the cable channel said in a statement.
Paramount Network owner ViacomCBS made headlines earlier this week when on Monday the company's cable networks went dark for eight minutes and 46 seconds -- the amount of time that a Minneapolis police officer kept his knee on Floyd's neck before his death.

So childish
ReplyDeleteAnother network will pick it up. Happens all the time. But the Black like gays cry about understanding and compassion. Yet it's only for them and SCREW what everyone else likes.
ReplyDeleteSo what. More worthless tv.
ReplyDelete6 months from now it will be back on. Remember the mob outrage at Cosby and Roseanne? They are both back in TV
ReplyDeleteGeorge Floyd is NOT DEAD.Get that through your head people.That knee to the neck was far too gentle to be fatal.I don't know where George is now but he has become the trillion dollar man.Both autopsies were done on someone else,but not George.I'm not really a physically fit person,but so little pressure on my neck wouldn't have killed me.George was at his own funeral.There is a photo of him there.He is alive and well,and I wonder what he gained from all of this.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct 9:14
DeleteIt was a drill (Psyop)
This is getting out of hand.
ReplyDeleteWonder if anyone knows how long the knee maneuver last. I have heard three minutes, nine minutes, and now eight minutes / 45 seconds. As the fat failed candidate says “what difference does it make”. Well it doesn’t, but somebody had better get their chit together when it rolls into a coat room.
ReplyDeleteSo all prior movies with LEO/Citizen violence will no longer be available?
ReplyDeleteSo all prior and current TV shows involving LEOs will no longer be available?
I suppose anything racists will no longer be available?
I suppose anything sexist will no longer be available?
There is a reboot with Looney-Tunes Cartoons.
What is going on here?
What time did the first plane hit on 9/11?
ReplyDelete8.46am
Silly knee jerk reactions.
ReplyDeleteHow about protesting against:
- HIGH TAXES
- more and better JOBS
- better HEALTHCARE
- balancing the budget at all levels
- Congress passing a law for their own term-limits
- removal of stupidity in Congress
- fill in the blank.
Are some of these things more important to the pursuit of life, liberty and the most of all HAPPINESS?
Just asking for a friend of course!
So sorry for that cancellation. The show let's you view how important the majority of good police really are.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be back. Too many viewers to ignore.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame to end any show that shows crime doesn't pay and parents should watch these shows with their children and ask them questions. The shows are not bad the criminals are bad, the shows should be a wake up call.
ReplyDeleteI like those shows. It's a shame to do away with them to make a few black thugs and trouble makers happy. Screw them. Now I am unhappy.

ReplyDeleteAsk those offended by"Cops"and "Live P.D." to watch the last 15 minutes of any episode of "First 48".
