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?
Worst decision they ever made! Watched all the Live PD shows, they were an honest portrayal of real life encounters. Find a new station and keep it going…your audience will follow.
We watched Live PD every Friday and Saturday. It was our favorite show as it gave a truthful portrayal of everything our forst responders go thru everyday. You have no right to decide what i can and what I can not watch. We will not watch A and E every again.
I wish they would recinsider. We need shows that a real, and not scripted. Just because a few dislike reality of life matters they seem to love reality TV. Live PD was dor for adults, showing the career if law enforcement and also the community at large. I know many people (Im a black woman) who are culturally and ethnically like me and we so ENJOY thus program. Do you think the news will stop showing police chases…No. Let us be without unwanted sheltering, dont hand pick programs for us. #Free Live PD…we want our moneys worth . #Adult TV
No more A & E tv for me. Live PD is an excellent Police show. Everything was above board. This is a ridiculous move. Hopefully there will be another station with consideration for the people that enjoy the program.
Also I think it would have been good for people to see what was happening during these times.
I think its stupid. People need to see what it like to be a police officer and what they have to deal with day in and day out. Not all of officers are bad. Live Pd showcased the good ones. Smh to this knee jerk ********.
Big mistake great show
I don’t think it’s fair to blame the cancelations totally on the protests, the show created a huge liability for the network when they destroyed evidence in a police involved homicide. They will be in litigation for years over this, not to mention the multitude of lawsuits they were already facing. Many departments have quit the show because of the liability, see Williamson County. The protests however provided a perfect opportunity to drop the show for good.
No I do not!! Big mistake! Caved to political pressure, should definitely be brought back
I along with many others are mad that LivePD and the other PD programs have been cancelled. They totally made the wrong call. Nothing was wrong with any of them. I have stopped watching A & E all together. I am boycotting!!!
It’s totally wrong for removing live pd
I won’t go out of my way to watch your network
Bring it back..
It’s a huge loss for the viewers! On the other hand, I would worry about the safety of the officers had the show continued. I have police officers in my family and I value every good officer out there. You should be supporting law enforcement, not abandoning them. I won’t be watching A&E anymore.
I think their making the wrong call I dont think all police shows should be taken off the air I think it’s the worst mistake ever Iove PD and the rest of the shows
I am very heartbroken by the actions of A&E I have been watching all the shows from the beginning. I was hoping that they would bring all shows back.
I feel it is tragic to cancel a show that showed the every day life of law enforcement. It’s sad that the network is censoring what the viewing audience chooses to watch considering Live PD was the highest rated show on television. Shame on A&E for canceling these shows.
