Everything I Know About U.S. Culture, I Learned from "Cops."

  1. And they only wear one flip flop at a time.

If you’ve ever seen how British cops handle the same types of situations you’d know what I mean. I know these people are by and large deadbeats, but in this country we do have that presumption of innocence thing. When I occasionally do watch Cops I’m appalled at the rudeness of the cops once the suspect is already in custody, the unnecessary violence they use in subduing a suspect, and their general attitude. I don’t envy them their job, but then again I didn’t sign up for their job. And whatever their job description is, it doesn’ t include being a bully.

I think some of them didn’t get this memo.

Mobile homes are so expensive, if you manage to buy one you can’t afford shirts with sleeves.

I actually saw something like this in an episode.

Of course, the uncuffed suspect went ballistic after a few minutes in the squad car, so they had to drag her out before she smashed a window and handcuff her.

When cops get called into a couples domestic for the third time in the same week, they fall back on their mandatory Dr. Phil Dispute and Sensitivity Training.

If the cops pull someone over they’re going to jail.

No one who flees the scene on a motorcycle will need handcuffs by the time the chase is over.

American cops do not eat donuts, ever.
