This is a true story...

I was watching COPS the other night, and I won't go into offensive details, but there were a bunch of people who were about the most white trash I've ever seen (typical stars of COPS). There was a woman who had been beaten by her male cousin and had a bloody nose. As they went deeper into the story, it turned out that all the people in the house were somehow related and the beaten woman was shacking up with her first cousin who also beats her. As they took the cousin-beater away and slammed him into the paddy wagon, the decal on the back of the wagon said "KC/MO police."

Yep. KC has poor people too.

Was the location kept confidential or did they actually show these people being pulled from Council Chambers?

That's why I've always said that the people of metro KC remind me of the Springer Show. Maybe Jerry could relocate his show here?

I'm sure the COPS were somewhere in Eastern KCMO near Independence. It's awesome to have our citizens shown on national television. When askin' outsiders the first thing that comes to mind when you mention Kansas City, at least 1 out of 10 responses is "COPS". Maybe we can convince Fox Broadcasting Company to relocate their COPS reality series film studio in KC as well.

KC's hardly the #1 source of cops material....

I "loved" the KC episode where the cops were called in to break up a domestic food fight in a house on Food Lane.

At least that episode also featured a cool police chase on I-70 with a car driving on rims at night.

you guys obviously have not spent much time in olathe--they could do a whole season of springer out here. he could broadcast from the vacant christian book store on santa fe and ridgeview; all contestants would get a free coupon for pizza street and a 99 cent gift certificate to the dollar tree.

And that part of Olathe looks like an upscale Missouri suburb.

Sure I do. Looks like Zona Rosa will be quite comparable to the Old Highway 56 Shops in Olathe. C'mon GRID, you know I'm not serious.

Jus' being a silly ass.

Dude, a lot of the time your sacrasm is lost in cyberspace, especially when you bring on the big pimpin-style language.

Must get that $hit from my many years in Wyandotte County. I went from a lil' stupid street thug, fighting, gettin' drunk & high, and makin' D's and F's in middle/high school AND THEN transformed to a mature law-abiding college student makin' A's and B's in addition to working in law enforcement. Now I'm jus' a hot-headed alcoholic who's a wanna-be know-it-all asshole who is reasonable one second and ready to crack someone's cranium the next. Plus I started gettin' high again...damn. Seems like being a law-abiding citizen only payed off short-term, but the education will last me a lifetime. You can take this Irishman out of the ghetto, but you can never take the ghetto out of this Irishman.

However, this same Irishman only gets his ass off the computer on the weekends. My wife's about to kill me! Damn, it's midnight, late for work. Slainte!

That implies that Christian Book and Gift no longer exists. In fact, it DOES exist. It simply moved a couple doors down in the same strip mall. You just can't see it as easily from the east because of the bank that sits in front of it on the corner of Ridgeview and Santa Fe.

All Pizza Streets and CeCe's should be imploded.

Dollar Trees rule. Also, check out our Big Lots. VERY cool.

i always loved the KC episodes of COPS. a lot of them were pretty hardcore (carjackings, shootings, etc.). i also remember a Jackson County Sheriff arresting a naked man somewhere (it appeared) out by Longview Lake. i also enjoyed one episode that took place in Gregory Heights (Raytown) where this really awesome 1989 style mullet man kept repeating "i walked out onto the porch and i was STRUCK! i was STRUCK! i just walked out onto the porch and i was STRUCK!" a l'il raytowna beach pride there....

COPS is reality TV at its best.

if i am not mistaken, i think the naked guy at the Lake was G2G.
