And the reason it's important to talk about this is there's going to be some other incident. where a cop does something that the cop shouldn't have done. And it might be really bad. And any good cop will tell you that the worst thing for good cops is a bad cop. And so there will be something else that will happen.

And the reason we need to talk about it now is so that we don't again have the overreaction, which is all cops are bad. See, see, all cops are bad. Hmm. That's not the reaction or shouldn't be the reaction, in my view, to an incident where something happens with police. where a police officer engages in some form of wrongdoing.

Because no matter what career you're talking about, considering there are hundreds of thousands of police officers around the country, you are going to have some bad cops. That doesn't mean that the rest of the cops, the vast majority, overwhelming majority of cops who are doing really hard work every day,

Look, I was upset. I made it very clear I was upset. There was no secret in the fact that I was upset that the show was canceled because I liked the show, I liked working on the show, and I thought that it was unfortunate that there was this national overreaction that ultimately led to this ridiculous defund the police movement.

And so I was not happy about it and always wanted to do something like it again. and believe that it wasn't just something that I liked. I also thought it was important. I think it's important for people to see what it's like to be a police officer.

And by the way, there are people who watch On Patrol Live who see a scene with an officer, and police officers will be watching, and they'll say, oh, that officer shouldn't have done that. Okay, fair enough. That's part of what the transparency involves. But the point is, it's, I think, a good thing for people to be able to see what an ordinary cop has to do every day.

The problem is, in the media in general, most of the time, the vast majority of time, when people are talking about police, it's a police-involved shooting, right? It's a cop either who's been shot or, more regularly, the media covers it when a police officer shoots a civilian. Mm-hmm.

And that's the public's understanding of policing, unfortunately, in a lot of cases and in particular communities. And, of course, the majority of officers never fire their weapon in the line of duty ever. Ever. And so now we're focusing on what 98% of policing is, which is getting a call, someone saying there's a problem, there's an issue, an officer arriving at a scene not known.
