I didn't believe my husband when he told me. Why cancel one of the best shows on TV? It shows how our police forces are trying to make a difference. It does show the reality of what is really happening out there and no one wants to talk about it. Please do not bow to all the craziness. Support our police forces all over the US. They keep is safe.

I hope you don’t cancel 1st 48 you have taken Live Pd, Live Pd wanted for no reason. There are criminals out and they aren’t going away, there are very good cops, they are not all bad. I bet if you need a cop you’ll call one. If you don’t want to watch then don’t. I agree we are now being told what we can watch and what we can’t. They are taking off paw patrol for god sake. The good cops need to be able to do there jobs or maybe we should let the criminals run wild. I get that what happed is horrific and i really feel for his family and all the families that have lost love ones when it could have been prevented, however cops need to do there jobs without there hands being tied behind their back. Bad cops should be held accountable and jailed for there actions but we shouldn’t all have to pay. Who will protect us when all cops start resigning.

First 48 is absolutely the best show on TV.There is not one thing racist about the content of the material, it is exactly what is happening in each city. Some perpetrators are of all races, genders, sexual persuasions and the victims are also of every designation. If you are human, with a beating heart, you have to be emotionally attached to the families, victim and perps as well. The sorrow you feel for them, especially the children is one thing that binds us all together. It's a shame it has to be under these heartbreaking circumstances, but it does bring all people together. A&E you MUST NOT succumb to the liberal mob, can you even name one instance of "institutional racism" by the police you film in all these years, I bet not. Do NOT cave in, support these great men and women you have known to be heroic for close to two decades. Someone has to show their support for them, it's a thankless, stressful job. Please, Back The Blue, don't shut them down.

I have also watched this show since it started. Why cancel something like this? Even the criminals watch it. The show hasn’t shown any racism at all that I have seen.

This really sucks!!!!! I'm so sick of the blm antics amd all tje other rioters taking over everything. The big wig producers cow down to everyone. A&E is no lo ger on my recording list and I refuse to watch it. Sometimes I wish us law abiding citizens would stand up for our rights but we seem to be classy enough not to. The producers you would think would stand their ground. Guarantee law amd order will be cancelled, blue bloods and Chicago pd which are all my favorite shows including the ones referred to at the top as well. Get ready for spongbob cause that's about all we are gonna get to watch. SHAME ON PRODUCERS COWING DOWN!!!!

It is even rumored that Paw Patrol will be cancelled. First 48, Live PD and Cops was real and if you can't live with it change your ways.
