The cancellation is somewhat unsurprising considering the widespread protests against police tactics that are sweeping the nation, especially following the Season 33 premiere’s removal and A&E’s decision to pull episodes of its hit Live PD, although A&E hasn’t announced whether or not Live PD will be cancelled at this point.
The long-running reality crime series has been divisive over the years of its run, with critics speaking against the tactics and portrayals while fans praised it.
