That show has got to be a lot of work in the cutting room.
I'm not a cop, but I do watch the show on occasion.
As for the police chase shows, I stopped watching them. I couldnt count how many times I saw that old ford truck running on the rims, wrecking in the median, and the guy getting out to say "I need a beer." Not to mention the corvette that spun out while passing a tractor trailer with the guy walking away from the pile of fiberglass without a scratch, or the white S10 than ran a red light and got flattened by a peterbuilt. Then there's the suburban (or blazer?) that gets stuck in the desert during their getaway. And lets not forget the guy that gave them a hell of a run in his white extended cab chevy truck, and then turned out to be a cop. And of course, "The south carolina Mustang is still on the job."
These people, and that south carolina mustang, are immortalized in police shows. If they arent in the "scariest police chases" that comes on at 20:00, they're in the "Scariest police videos" that comes on at 21:00 right along with that guy that got his revolver shout out of his hand, and the car caught in a flood where the helo lands on the hood twice to get the women out. I think it takes a hell of a pilot to do that, twice, but I've seen it so many times the whole "aw factor" has worn off.
Lets not forget the narrator for both of those shows, Sherriff John Bunnell (ret.) and his "police have super crime-fighting powers that you cant escape" attitude. Dont get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for LEOs (yancey county NC LEOs excluded), but you arent Jedi's. I liked him a lot better when he was returning stolen property to the owners in the suspect's front yard and then leaving a message on his machine.
//edit: Well, this post turned out to be a lot longer than I planned, sorry...
