COPS and robbers

I’ve been meaning to ask this to the teeming millions for a while now, but just didn’t have the time.

I’ve always wondered why the police officers on the TV show COPS always seem to “get their man.” Living in Newark New Jersey, I can safely say that here, a one hundred percent success rate is a load of crap. Personally, I would absolutely love to see the bad guys get away with it once in a while. Y’know, watch a 45 minute car chase only to have the lead cop car smash into a telephone pole and the “perp” drive off into the sunset.

Or better yet, knowing that police officers aren’t perfect (especially the crooked ones we have in the Garden State), I’d also love to see them raid a 2 comma home in Mendam NJ, only to find out it’s the wrong house.

I mean, I don’t know what you guys think of your cops, but ours (at least in Essex county), aren’t “knights in shining armor.”

Smack me for stating the obvious but…

IT’S TELEVISION! IT’S EDITED!

They only show the successful ones.

Ummm … you didn’t really think it was live did you?

I think it’d be entertaining to see a “Candid Cops,” see all the goofs, see cops on the take… Uh oh. Hmmmm, change that “entertaining” to “scary!”
