I was surprised Chambers too was calm, because in the two other segments with the one guy with a gun and the other where he kicked the one drunk guy, he was a jerk in both.
I felt no sympathy as well for the shirtless drunk, as he just seems like a very violent individual overall at least when drunk.
That was a great segment, and that drunk guy was totally not in control himself.
I thought Willoughby was a little aggressive in the one segment where the black driver refused to pull over and a chase ended at his house with people screaming in the background. I'm glad Chambers never showed up as he's even more agressive.
I know of the elderly guy, but what episode of season 14 was the one with the drunk assaulting a prostitute?
Season 14 was great as well IMO. The fight with a tire iron, the naked druggie who fought with cops and punched a fence, a motel fire, a lost child, a guy caught with drugs with a D.A.R.E. shirt. It had it all.
My COPS seasons start mainly at 9 since I got into the show a bit later, but I really enjoy seasons 16-18, a lot of interesting segments from that time. I must say, even with later seasons becoming repetitive, I think COPS always at least tried to make each episode interesting for an audience.
Two others:
Patrick Rose, who appeared in the famous season 17 segment in New Orleans of the drunk or high individual in the bar who got maced several times and fought with the police violently after. He died in 2017, possibly from MS complications. He had retired and had moved back to the Cleveland area, where he was born.
Hans Wagner, who appeared in season 22 segments in Houston, died at 35 in 2012, of complications from a head injury in a crash. He initially survived the crash, but the headaches never went away and he passed in his sleep.
I saw those three segments and I thought he was a jerk in all of them. Very rude and condescending, and doesn't seem to have empathy for any criminal. I wonder if he appeared in any other s9 segments and also acts the same way.
I see Tony Moreno of Pittsburgh got charged as a civilian in 2022 for aiming and threatening someone with a firearm over someone who had dogs that wasn't allowed to own them. He claimed that he would never do such a thing and the charges were later dropped, but knowing how rude and aggressive he acts towards suspects in his COPS segments, I wonder if it's really a surprise.
How about Linus and Lucy, the theme from the Peanuts specials? Just a great Jazz standard, but there are no references to Christmas at all. The composition being in "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is probably why it's a Christmas song, played by many radio stations and public places every holiday season.
I've never understood that either, especially when there's a camera watching their every move.
What episode was this?
I didn't feel sorry for the guy who tossed out his weed as he could've gone home with a ticket but turned it into something. Dowlearn was cool I thought in that segment.
Tony White is really great. I thought he was funny with the pigs in the house segment.
Did you see Deputy Dowlearn's response? He gave an interesting response about what had happened with the guy in the stolen vehicle in which you thought Dowlearn was aggressive. I really understood why he reacted the way he did.
The one with the 60-some-year-old driver who had sex with a prostitute in his car. He needed to do a bank run but wanted his wife to do it once he got arrested. You kind of thought he was arrogant that he wouldn't let the guy do the bank run. I didn't think so.
You made some really great points there. I had no idea there was a gun and meth involved. When you're in an area where your backup may be miles away, you have to be quick on your feet. I know those COPS segments are edited for time for obvious reasons. I understand your point of view. I'd love to hear more stories from officers featured on the show. Thanks for your service.
I actually saw the segment with Dick Adkins, and I personally didn't find him arrogant at all, he actually was laughing a little bit.
Rooks's reaction was priceless when she touched that gun.
I don't know much about Bill Yada but the way he responded when the guy who stabbed his son denied the drugs he discarded in front of him and the other officer, repeating what he had just said was pretty funny.
Yes, the one passenger was indeed a convicted felon. Cullen says that because the neighborhood was rough and when he sees a gun, he really worries. The suspects were being cool and joking around with his partner, so I don't know why Cullen was all aggressive just over the sight of a gun under the front seat. I feel if they were all white, he wouldn't have been that aggressive.
Every time I see Deputy Cullen's segment, I wonder about myself if he was that aggressive and angry because everyone in the vehicle was black? The fact was, everyone was cool and even joking around with his partner, but he totally was a jerk the moment he saw the gun.
I'm thinking Heckler has a big disdain for drug users/addicts, he always mentions that he needs to clean up the neighborhood from drugs in a few of his segments as it's a big drug corridor where he patrols. That percoset segment he appeared in was very interesting.
I think he appeared in the season 19 segment with the couple in the motel room with drugs on the bed, and both were arrested when they weren't clear about whose drugs were who's. Hutchinson also was a backup in a season 26 episode as well.
Heckler can be a bit aggressive and arrogant with suspects, I agree with you on that. I remember when he asked the one shirtless suspect who ran from him, "Why did you run", to which he replied, "Because", and to which Heckler replied with, "Because isn't an answer." I also found it interesting how his demeanor totally changed when he pulled over the guy in the gas station and found a gun under the seat of his vehicle.
Did you see the segment of William Hutchinson and the car thief? I thought he acted very excessive. Guy looked like he was trying to shake his hand, which Hutchinson accused him of grabbing him onto him and threw him to the ground. I didn't really feel sorry for the suspect as he tried to fight with the elderly Hispanic suspect, but that was excessive at the beginning. Hutchinson can be great and funny in some segments, but arrogant in others.
