Besides how will we know what the AWESOME Trooper James Casey is doing. I like alot of others but I have alot of respect for him, he’s a True HERO.
I love Live PD! I will not miss it. Please keep this show on forever. If everyone would watch, maybe the would understand what our police have to go through. Thank you for this show!
Brenda, addicted please don’t cancel. Along with learning things I didn’t realize. Watching some of these people do some stupid stuff it really is funny. This gives me a better understanding of what Police officers put up with and go through. And what to do if I were to get pulled over. Thank You for the show but mostly Thank all the officers that allow us to follow them with this show!!!!!!

Live PD is a fake. Officer in Louisiana pull over a truck on March 3rd 2017. Driver was impaired officer let the driver move his car to8 a gas station. Driver had problems keeping his hands on the back of the truck while they searched it. They never handcuffed him. Driver was not a minority.
