The Live PD franchise is gone for good. According to NextTV, Sony Pictures Television has cancelled the A&E TV show’s syndicated spin-off series Live PD Police Patrol.
The weekly series focused on the daily work of police forces throughout the United States. “Every episode highlights the daily life-and-death situations faced by Sheriff’s Departments, Highway Patrols and local Police Departments in a diverse range of jurisdictions from Connecticut to Arizona, ” via the show’s website.
Sony Pictures Television cancelled Live PD Police Patrol after A&E ended Live PD in the wake of international protests against police brutality. Live PD Police Patrol is being pulled off the air this week.
What do you think? Do you watch Live PD Police Patrol? Do you think Sony made the right call?
I think it is a crock of **** to cancel Live PD..
This was a show that showed the lack if for no other reason as they were being filmed body cam footage is becoming more common and should be mandatory for all police officers who handle or have any proximity to people in custody or in public also since fear is the reason for people’s reaction to the police and the police to the public it was an educational tool for both if the average police men has contact with people a day that is 5 times a day that his life is In danger now the average amount of times… Read more »
Their should be more first hand reporting in real time with faster reactions to good and bad behavior all should be public property bring it back
I think it is totally stupid to have canceled Live PD as well as the other shows. I was a avid watcher and think it is terrible to cancel a program just so as not to offend a very small percent of the population.
Horrible decision, that show had a lot of followers and I am one of them. A&E IS NO LONGER ON MY PLAYLIST
Terrible decision. This is a form of censorship when when we need more transparency
Love Livd PD Favorite TV show. Looked forward every week to watch show. Very disappointed they cancelled show. My own son is a police officer as I found the show very educational. Please Bring Back the show. You will make a lot of people happy including this 66 yr old lady!
I don’t think that live PD should have been taking off completely. Maybe for a few weeks but not the way it was done. People are taking what one or two police officers did wrong way out of control. I hope live PD returns.
All of these Cancelled Police shows should still be on. Transparency Transparency is the key. Sometimes not in the best lights but it still gave regular citizens a close up view of what real Police have to do on a daily basis. Both Good & Bad. To just whitewash all of them is a dis-service to the American Citizens. Bring them back unrecorded and let America decide. Not corporate honchos who truly don’t know much..just knee jerk reactions.
YOU SCREWED UP SONY!
A&E was the only channel we watched.
Cancelled our cable over this.
Bowing down doesn’t work.
You have punished the wrong people.
I will no longer be watching ANYTHING on this network!!!!
I watched Live PD from the beginning. I will not watch A&E anything again. These men and women put their lives on the line for us. It sure isn’t for the pay! Shame on you A&E man up as they do EVERY shift. They should take it to ANOTHER network.
I think that A&E pulling Live PD & similar shows, sends the message that they think police officers abuse their job and use unnecessary force. I guess A&E must support the move to defund the police too then??? Otherwise, why not keep showing the positive side of law enforcement and the good so many officers do for/in their communities to keep the citizens safe. No more A&E will be watched in my house since they clearly support the anti-police movements happening in our country and around the world. Shame on you A&E execs!!
I think it sucks!!
Will not support anybody or anything that doesn’t support are police live PD helped alot of people out there and helped people see the everyday struggles of police officers.
