Too bad I don't have this channel. I'd watch the first episode just for this:

quote:

The best moments come when the show goes afield to show the camaraderie between the men who share this stressful job.

At one point, as two officers wait for a sting to go down, a neighborhood resident, suspicious of two white men in his black neighborhood, orders them off the block.

When they protest, he says, in what could be the funniest appropriation of H & R Block’s catchphrase, “I own the alley. I got people.”

The two agents are forced to bluff to explain their presence. They are completely unconvincing and they know it.

I saw the show and they didn't say ONE positive thing about the city.

Yeah, I saw it too, but I and my husband just thought it was schmaltzy. As a matter of fact, he loves those type of shows and he fell asleep.

They made Detroit seem like the wild wild west.

"over half a million guns loose on the street"

Yeah, that one caught me too. I think the poor guy just wanted to make sure he got some camera time by saying something shocking.

It may look like a 3rd world country in some areas but damn, we don't just go randomly shooting cops.
