So I watched this show for the first time since I was like, too young to comprehend what was going on in it. Wowwwwww. Why is this show famous? Srrsl. What is the allure of watching some poor (wo)man run their asses off only to be forcibly tackled to the ground (probably cracking out some teeth or splitting a chin or something) and harassed by a bunch of smurfing assholes with guns?
The cops on this show are so intense, too. They're always screaming and pointing guns and whatnot; most of these people aren't even being arrested for anything major. I saw them take this one guy down on marijuana charges and they tackled him down into a bunch of dead bushes / rocks and roughed him up real good. Like wtf. It also scares me because I know these cops know they're being filmed, so it's worrying to think about what real cops in America behave like off camera (even though I know the answer - bigger, more stupid assholes with guns).
Thoughts?
