TV show Cops, criticized for glorifying police aggression, cancelled after 32 seasons
One of the longest-running shows in US TV history showed police chasing down and apprehending suspects

I'm a pretty good liberal but I liked 'Cops'. I thought it presented a positive image of police doing things the right way that counter-balanced the negative images that appear on the news of when things go wrong. if only the negative images are presented to the public, the divide between police departments and the public will only widen and the potential for violence will increase. That's not what we need.
