Thread: Cops

  1. #1

    Default Cops

    Did anybody else watch "COPS" this past weekend? We don't normally watch it, so this might have been a rerun, but they were investigating some folks who shoplifted a $10 cake. And they had 6 officers working the case!!! I thought, "My goodness, do these guys not have anything better to do? They ought to be out looking for speeders or something since your average speeding ticket is WAY over $10." I'm not saying shoplifting is no big deal, but dang..... I told my wife, "What does it say about this community that the biggest crime they could come up with while the tv crew was in town filming was the theft of a $10 cake?" LOL I know it wasn't supposed to be funny, but it was.

    I'd much rather see the police go after someone who is actually commiting a crime (theft) rather than simply going after speeders as a means of revenue generation.

    True, but I'm just thinking that if a community can spare 6 officers for a $10 cake theft, then they probably don't have much of a crime problem, ya know? I guess I'm also equally amazed that the tv production company decided to use that segment. It makes me think that the rest of the week must have REALLY been slow.
