Paramount Network Cancels “Cops” After 33 Seasons

HeadlineJun 10, 2020

After 33 years, the reality TV show “Cops” has been canceled.

Inner Circle: “Bad boys, Whatcha want, whatcha want, Whatcha gonna do, When Sheriff John Brown come for you?”

Police officer: “Keep your hands on the car. I’m doing my job.”

In 2013, the group Color of Change launched a campaign to cancel the show, saying it “built a profit model around distorted and dehumanizing portrayals of Black Americans and the criminal justice system.”
