greyflannel October 13, 2018 Share October 13, 2018 I wonder if the female officer in R.I., the one with the mousy up-speak, has either watched herself on the show or Twitter has made mention of her way of speaking. She seemed to speak almost normally last night. It's definitely an improvement and I hope she keeps working on it. How can you expect to be seen as confident and in control if you speak in such a timid way? Plus, it's super annoying to listen to. 3 Link to comment
ExplainItAgain October 14, 2018 Share October 14, 2018 That chase last night was a little ridiculous. I realize he was an escapee but did they need the entire force chasing him at 30 mph? I wonder what the story was with the woman who was with him? 5 Link to comment
VartanFan October 14, 2018 Share October 14, 2018 It was pretty crazy, though, how the first pit maneuver almost took out the camera people! I gasped because I wasn't sure they could move out of the way in time. Re: the RI blond female officer...I've found when she's in 'help' mode, she's far more whiny and high-pitched. When she's in business mode, it comes down a notch or 10. I was happy to see Haynes from Greene County back last night, but I found it weird and a bit unrealistic that Sheriff Lamb was patrolling with the GC Sheriff. That officer from El Paso had a rough night...first that absolute moron who was belligerent and took a swing at him...then the drug guy who ran on him, fought him, and then got him soaked in a gigantic puddle (not to mention the slice on the knee). 3 Link to comment

kicotan October 14, 2018 Share October 14, 2018 (edited) The most annoying thing that I’ve learned watching this show is how all a LEO has to say is “I smell marijuana” and it doesn’t matter if he/she says it about a car he/she is passing in traffic (really?), a car that he/she has pulled over for ANY reason or a person he/she encounters on the street-as soon as that declaration is made, “probable cause” is established and rights pertaining to unlawful search go right out the window. Buggy. While I’m at it, the thing that runs a close second or might actually even be worse is when folks use the term “ put hands on a woman” as some sort of euphemism for various acts of domestic violence. Instead of using words hit, punched, shoved, choked or slapped, it is minimalized by the term “putting hands on”...which, generally speaking, also describes what certain churches do when they perform healing rituals. Even buggier, really. Edited October 14, 2018 by kicotan Extra rant & gender inclusion 2 Link to comment

Jaded October 14, 2018 Share October 14, 2018 I had to take a break from this show too. I don't know if I got burnt out or just got tired of things that others have mentioned like the supposed smelling of marijuana. I still remember the episode where one of the cops said he could smell marijuana coming from a car that drove by him while he was in his own. 2 Link to comment

I’m guessing Live PD is pretty tactical about which departments they choose because it would be so boring where we live. My husband is a police officer and he watches this show and basically says (in many scenes), “we could never do that”. They basically can’t search a car without bloody body parts being strewn about the inside of the car and marijuana is totally decriminalized. I posted a long time about how much CHEAPER the criminal justice system would be if they just legalized marijuana - - the time spent on these traffic stops, the analysis and storage of the ‘evidence’, time in the courts, time cops spend in court fo these cases...etc. 4 Link to comment

AuntiePam October 14, 2018 Share October 14, 2018 What was the deal with that blonde whose boyfriend crashed his car? It was like she and the officer were in two different places, having two different conversations. She had to be on something. Did she think she'd be in trouble for being with him, since there was a no-contact order? I wanted to see more of what happened at the end of Friday night's show. I think it was in Nevada, and the officer was investigating a domestic disturbance. The house (?) was in the middle of what looked like a junk yard. A man answered the door, carrying a toddler, and the officer was allowed inside. That's all we saw. It must have been in an unincorporated area -- the place would have all kinds of violations if it was in city limits. Link to comment

Dept Pini & his K9 Yogi ( Pasco county) we’re trying to track down a guy that ran instead of climbing over the wood fence or around It Dept Pini kicks a hole threw the fence destroying it, and removed piece of it so he can fit threw. And then he goes threw another persons backyard leaves there gate open. I know he’s trying to find someone but dang someone could lose there own pet because they aren’t aware they’re gates are open.

I doubt he wanted the public to know that information. Hope I was the only one to notice. It was hilarious watching them try to catch that bird.

CrazyInAlabama October 22, 2018 Share October 22, 2018 (edited) I'm wondering when they're going to show Shep's latest internet video catch, where some kidnapper in a pink shirt crashed a car, ran, and when Shep got him he chewed on his butt for a long time. The kid he kidnapped was unharmed, no thanks to the perp. I'm hoping that will be the first thing they show on Friday's show with Shep, and we'll probably get the rerun of Shep running down a guy, while Carmack dragged the other guy in handcuffs chasing after Shep.

For example, Shep can probably think better than most of the perps he tracks down. I loved the preview where the gave him some of his doggy ice cream. Shep, just like Flex and Lor, certainly figured out that if he demands head scritches, or other attention when the camera is on, he's going to get it.

I think Dan Abrams followed up later in the show to say that the neighbor had taken the dog to Animal Control, and owner got him/her back. The dog was deemed to be in good shape, and no charges were filed or fines assessed to the owner. I too thought that neighbor was out of line. 4 Link to comment
