its about time, ive seen 1 or 2 from Des Moines, and they were from like the 90's or some shit.

after doing a couple ride alongs with my Uncle years ago, the tv show is too boring for me... didnt really see anything to exciting during the ride along, but doing something in person is alot more fun the watching it on TV.


brings up the question, Do a lot of cops watch "COPS"? what about the other Cop shows on tv? ive got a feeling some of our local guys are a big fan of "the Shield"

No.....get to see enough at work.  The Shield was entertaining, but as far as any kind of "training video", like you, I enjoy my freedom and wish to retire an enjoy the "good life" (like Strongarm)..... not go to Club Fed.

I'm proud to say that all those first Des Moines COPS episodes were all filmed in the neighborhood I grew up in.  Makes me proud.

I've been dodging them like the plague.  They filmed a pretty good car chase on the East side last night.  Right in fammy's old stomping grounds.

I wouldn't want them with me either.  Much like other media, they can paint the picture that they want to paint through video editing.  This picture may or may not be an accurate representation.

Any of you boys see the episode where they are chasing the kid on the dirtbike down Dean Ave (eastside)? Kid take a right to follow the train tracks, cop tries to follow and gets high centered on the tracks....as a train is headed towards him. They get the train rerouted but when the tow truck shows up they really screw up the car when it gets pulled.

Like all reality TV, I'm sure his major screw-up on camera is not generally representative of his overall performance.

But that's funny.
