Live PD is no more.
A&E has cancelled the police docu-series in the wake of the George Floyd murder and ongoing protests against police brutality and systemic racism.
The network said of its decision to cancel Live PD:
“This is a critical time in our nation’s history and we have made the decision to cease production on Live PD. Going forward, we will determine if there is a clear pathway to tell the stories of both the community and the police officers whose role it is to serve them. And with that, we will be meeting with community and civil rights leaders as well as police departments.”
Prior to the cancellation, Live PD has been renewed through 2021 with Seasons 5 and 6.
However, series presenter Dan Abrams isn’t accepting the show’s fate and claims that it will return in some shape or form:
To all of you asking whether #LivePD coming back. . .The answer is yes. All of us associated with the show are as committed to it as ever. We are still discussing some specifics but I want to assure the #LivePDNation that we are not abandoning you.

Please rethink this huge mistake to cancel LivePD. I watch it every time it is on. PC Political Correctness is a cancer on our society. LivePD showed our brave police in everyday situations. We want to see it.

That’ll teach em. They should do away with cops in all the liberal cities & see how that turns out…..that’ll make Chicago look like a play ground…..

I’m very disappointed, I cant believe that A&E is condoning all this hatred. I’m not going to watch anything on A&E until live PD is brought back..see how your ratings go down, I know the owners of the channel have money and can buy all this chaos and pay to start Rioting in the streets.
