Unaired footage

Cops has been on forever (probably since the late 80's I believe) and so there are countless hours of this show available to watch. But there is even more filmed footage than that which hasn't aired, like most TV shows. Recently, someone got into the archives and viewed some of the unaired material and it turns out there was a good reason it was left on the editing room floor - 90% of the unaired footage was of the cops shooting black people. Good call on not airing that on FOX.

^^^^^ BLM post. Yeah, I'm sure that 90% of the footage is cops shooting black people. :-P That's the dream of black activists, forever wanting to be the victims, forever wanting to be forgiven for their community's killing, raping, robbing, drug dealing, etc.

Cops should not kill or shoot black people unless their own lives are in danger. Which does happen. I have been harassed by cops, an didn't like it. So, my sympathy is low for them. But, having this endless fantasy that they're all jack-booted thugs is bullshit.
