As far as I know, "COPS" was NEVER banned from the KC Metro area(BOTH Kansas and Missouri), but it was BANNED by executive order of the Cincinnati(Ohio) City Council President after three episodes were filmed there(the order unfortunately also extended to ALL police departments in Hamilton County, including the Sheriff's Office and the nearby suburb of Norwich as well)...\n\nThe Mayor of Cincinnati was FURIOUS at the order, but the CPD Chief was determined to maintain the "racist" attitudes of the force...so Madam Mayor had to give up her dream of having the longest-running Fox reality show in the "Queen City of the Ohio River"...\n\nCincinnati's police chief also wanted EVERY PD and sheriff on Ohio(as well as the Ohio Highway Patrol) to ban the show from riding along w/ their officers...and apparently, the now-state-wide ban is STILL in effect to this day...

The Fray is great.  They're a Denver-based band.  I've seen them several times--they put on a great live show.  "How to Save a Life" was featured on NBC's "Scrubs" last night (Tues, 4/25).  And "Cable Car" (the original name of "Over My Head") has been heard on different TV shows as well.  It's good to see the buzz they've created for themselves.  Check out more info at www.thefray.net.

no,  remember that many police departments don't have crime scene techs,  the actual officers do all of thier own work,  or they are just dectives that do the investigations.\n\nAll my years in uniform, from robberiers to fraud, to theft, to assult,  we always did our own crime scene investigation and collected our own evidence.  We then checked them into evidence storage, and the evidence supervisor took them and sent them into a crime lab.\n\nAnd most small departmetns ( I would bet and it is a guess) I would bet about 90 percent don't have crime labs or crime scene techs.\n\nSo you are left with first a small number of departments scattered all accross the US.  And each one will have various degrees.  Some may require thier own state POST training and certification from POST as thier requirements.\nOthers will look for those trained at state crime labs.\n\nI have not checked in years, but Southeast Missouri University, used to have a progam that worked with the MO State Crime lab, where students could work on actual cases and evidence.\n\nI don't know if they still offer it but they used to

It does ring a bell!  I remember watching a lot of weird japanese stuff like Thundercats, and movies like Heavy Metal in the 80s. Just opened the 'official' StarBlazers website below and the theme tune blasted around the office.... that was a tad embarassing.

I come across this while studying the old mob gangs !\n\nThe Cincinnati Bow Tie or Columbian Neck Tie is from when the mobs or mafia would cut a victims throat, then cut out there tounge and jam it back into the cut throat.\n\nThis would normally be resevered for people who would " rat out " gang members to the cops.

The people who are responsible for the design and production of these have been drugged up half their life and what you are seeing is the results. It is the result of trying to live and work under the influence of heavy drug overdoses.\n\nI have also noticed, by pure chance, having turned on the television to some broadcast channels in the afternoon on a few occasions, that afternoon soap operas all promote gay lifestyle and elevate the status of gays.  Why? Because the producers of thee shows are all gay.  And why is that? Because the television stations are forced to hire them because if they didn't they would be hit with discrimination lawsuits.\n\nSo what you are seeing on your Saturday cartoons is part of the same problem.  Drugged-out, hallucinating, anti-social dropouts are responsible.\n\nAnd you need a reason why drugs should not be legalized?

Rags to Riches.  Mid 80s.  I was in first grade when it was popular.  I had a neighbor who was obsessed with that show.  I remember one episode where they met Elvis.

That is commonly called "High Band VHF" and is licensed under Part 90 of the FCC Rules and Regs (Title 47).  There are pools of frequencies there for public safety, industrial/business, etc.

Millions of Dead Cops? I don't know how to describe them. They were one of the Bay Area's best no-talent punk bands. I saw them a couple times, their live show sounded worse than their recordings (which were almost unlistenable) but they were crazy. They were probably one of the most influential of the East Bay punk bands. Very political, very loud. That's all I can say.

My theory is that all that went out the window when talk-show pop icons began glorifying ghetto culture.  Nice kids from the burbs and the  country have nasty pseudo-gangster rappers for heroes.  They told us Donna Reed never existed , but the truth is Oprah and Geraldo killed her.

The 90's were it mate, to much hip pop hop rubbish at the moment.\nOnly dance music has had a good few years in my eyes.\nLove the 90's man, guitar music was at it's best, lost interest in lots of the music nowadays, even indie and rock stations are crap.\nAnd in the 90's we had a proper little Ska revival, crack on 90's.

To the person that says this doesn't happen in America - you're right, but barely. \n\nWe are allowing new TVs, and Cable television. \n\nI agree, it is a joke. These peole should be made to hate the fact that they are there. I say, and I'm being serious here, bring back the chain gangs. \n\nMake them HATE being incarcerated - and they may not want to follow the same path again that led them there.

To clarify Randy D is correct about the origins of "Cop".  Badges use to be made of copper and the public would refer to the police officers as "coppers".  That's why you hear the term in older gangster movies.  \n\nAnd to ditto some others here, police do more then fight crime.  It would be incorrect to call them such.  They also assist in other calls for service like accidents and assisting citizens with non-criminal activities.

There is a certain  mentality that it takes to be a cop, and its not really a good one. People who become cops usually do it because in ordinary life they think thier above everyone else, so they look for a job to compliment thier mental pattern.

I think the cb predated the car phone.  They've been around for a very long time.\n\nEarlier than that we have signal flags and smoke signals.
