A Show That Watches the Cops
from The Gist Hosted by Peach Fish Productions
Dan Abrams is the host of Live PD, a new A&E show that follows police officers, in real time, as they interact with people in cities like Tulsa, Oklahoma and Bridgeport, Connecticut. Abrams says the show is different from Cops—it captures all of the moments in a police officer's watch, not just the most sensational. But it has also come under fire for questions about privacy and the complicated issues of embedding with a police force. In the Spiel, we look at President Obama's claim that the arc of history is progressive. Our Sponsors: Basecamp,a cloud-based system with tools to help you get work done in a sane, organized way.
