Is this for ratings or do the editors pick and choose what get aired? If so, is there a bias with the editorial staff?

Gosh, I really wonder if it is because of the fact that they commit the most crimes. Could be. Your type can find bias where ever you look. And you only have to look in a mirror. Now what are you going to do, LaVon, report me? OOOOh I am so hurt.

You go fishing where there are fish. A lot of the crime in a city occurs in poor neighborhoods, where most of the residents are minorities (or white trash). It's not that they are singled out, but a cop can roll through the trailer park or the ghetto and be sure to find something really quickly. It's much harder to catch a businessman snorting coke in his office.

they just are. i hope it's because they are given less oppurtunities than other people so they turn to crime. i don't really see how being a criminal could be in their genes. Also, there are many more white people in America than black people so the percentage of black people committing crimes is actually a lot higher than it appears when comparing the poopulation to the whole. I don't have anything against black people one of my best friends is black and a hell of a lot smarter than I am. It just so happens that I walked up on a black man trying to steal my mom's car, two black guys broke into my house, and a black guy stole my bicycle. But my brother is a career criminal and he's white so take everything I say with a grain of salt. I just call it how i see it.

Not only are they the 1's committing the crimes out there today, the show needs to get the cameras where something will happen.........hence the poor areas where the minorities live. When white people are getting arrested on Cops, they are usually filming somewhere near a trailer park.

Depends on where the show is meant to represent, New York City, South Central LA. If statistics are correct, most gangs are black and Hispanics, and most of your white collar and child molesters are white.
But I also know it is meant for entertainment and do not take it seriously, because if that was the case I would never use public transit.

I think its more about geography than race. The Racial mix of most major inner cities is Black or Hispanic. Detroit for instance, is 80 percent black. I think they tape in the inner cities more because there is more action there. Not much excitement out on highway 12 with sherriff goober!

Im a minority and I agree. It's ashame that mainly minorites actually do the crimes because of those minorities that have no sense, us good ones have to be judged the same!!

I believe that all races and genders a represented on this show. Don't see your point.
The better question should have been, is the show representing the stupid, ignorant people for ratings. On that question, I say yes.
