criminals you have the least empathy for? - Cops (1989) Discussion

[–] Blue_Eyes_James 10 years ago

Oh yeah, that guy! I can't stand the cowardly criminals who steal from the weaker, car jackers, home-invaders. I've been on the receiving end of that. I mean, it's not "better" than a bank robber, but it's more personal and sociopathic, IMO.

Right now I'm dealing with a white-collar crime unit, some forgeries. So I get to experience how justice works on this kind of crime.

I also can't stand the cowardly criminals who would steal, rob, carjack or home invade from the weaker people such as the elderly & the disabled either, I totally agree that they are true cowards, I totally agree they're sociopathic criminals if they're gonna be committing major crimes against the elderly and the disabled, nonetheless I know he is serving serious time in prison.

Another criminal who I've lacked empathy for was the one from Los Angeles (Season 7) where a guy assaulted a woman who he was taking care of by throwing her out of her chair and dragged her on the floor and was also out smoking crack cocaine while he would go out, then when the suspect comes back on the scene the officer tells him they need to talk but the suspect wouldn't listen to any reason, then the suspect gets sprayed several times, I was so happy seeing the officers spray him with mace left and right considering what he put that poor woman through.

I also hope he'll never find a job as a caretaker again.

I really hated that drunk douchebag in Denver from a 1992 episode who apparently thought it was his God-given right to physically assault everyone in a bar. He gave the young female bartender a black eye as well as a deep bite mark in a bystander's face; the douche even started fighting with the police officers when they got him to the station; it was at that point I wish they would have just turned the cameras off, beat him senseless, and sent him to the ICU...

"...And on this farm he had an igloo..."

[–] csweetleaf2 10 years ago

Oh my gosh I remember that drunk douchebag from the Denver episode and he was a total douchebag and I was so happy the officers yanked him out of the car the way they did considering I don't usually like it when the officers act that way towards the suspects, I would also have loved to see the officers beat him senseless and for them to give them the same kind of treatment he has given the people at the bar, I remember that bite mark the bystander had gotten along with the black eye of the female bartender.

another criminal who I've lacked empathy for was an older episode where a young woman (the suspect) got into a fight with the victim (her boyfriend or whoever he was) and while the officers were talking to the male half the woman was sitting in the driver's seat of her truck, then the officers approached her and she accuses them of yanking her door open, she tries to drive off while the officers wanted to talk to her and then drives like a bat out of hell while the officers were trying to get her out of the car, she decided she wants to talk to another officer about what happened and of course she gets arrested.

I just saw this one and I agree. I wish they would've beat the *beep* out of him. No respect for guys that hit girls. I miss the Denver episodes though, wish they would go back there.

There was also one where the cop captured this hispanic dude and he kept calling the officer a "bitch" like 30 times. The cop was still being surprisingly nice to the asshat the whole time and I wish he would've "accidentally" punched him in the mouth.

Another one is where an officer is called to a place because they were playing loud music. The woman (who was cooking a gigantic steak) was being super hostile to the cop for no reason and even made a joke about shooting him. Everything she said to him was a smart ass remark. Turns out she had a warrant, no surprise.

[–] csweetleaf2 9 years ago

I remember the episode where a woman was cooking a gigantic steak was being very hostile and a smart ass towards the cop for no reason, wasn't she wanted for robbery, I remember laughing at one of the officer's comments when he tells her to let him know when she grows up after she tells him when she grows up she wants to be a cop, it's been a long time since I've seen that episode.

I also miss the Denver episodes and it's been a long time since I've seen one, I also can't stand guys who hit girls either, was the episode with the Hispanic dude calling the officer a "bitch" 30 times also from Denver? If so I think I remember that episode

LOL! I forgot about that part! That was great :) Nah, the guy saying "bitch" was somewhere in Florida. I think was a rather recent episode like Season 22-24.

Another person who I really despised was from a Fort Worth episode long ago. He beat the crap out of his wife until her face was bloody, bruised and puffy. The worse part of it she kept telling the cops he didn't do anything. He was crying like a little bitch while being handcuffed. I really like the officer in that episode, J.R. Jacoby.

reply

[–] csweetleaf2 9 years ago

I remember the JR Jacoby episode where a guy got arrested for beating the crap out of his wife yet she denied that he was the one who assaulted her, wasn't the suspect also on parole? I don't get why she didn't wanna press charges when he brutally assaulted her, I can't stand guys who would beat the snot out of women.

I thought it was funny when the officer told the woman to let him know when she grows up after she tells him that she wants to be a cop, that was my favorite part of the episode.

No no, I said "I fell in a ditch"

"Bitch"

One of my favorite episodes involves one of the criminals I have the least empathy for, the young woman who is trying to pay to have her husband killed. Unfortunately for her, the hitman is an undercover cop. WE get to see the whole thing from start to finish, hear the whole story about how she has tried to ruin his life, see her fake reaction to his phony demise, see the interrogation room footage, and then her reaction when her husband shows himself alive. PRICELESS. A great ending for a cold-hearted bitch.

reply

[–] csweetleaf2 9 years ago

I remember the episode where a woman hired a hitman to kill her husband and I also remember her reaction to him getting killed and then she sees himself alive, I wonder how much prison time she ended up getting?

reply

[–] Charlie_Foxtrot_Company 9 years ago

Ahh Dahlia Dippolito. Initially she got sentenced to 20 years but that conviction was overturned in August and she is getting a new trial.

Here's why:

the appellate court deemed that the trial court erred by denying her request to individually question prospective jurors about their exposure to pretrial publicity about her case and denying her request to strike the entire jury pool after all the jurors heard an allegation that Dippolito had attempted to poison her husband.

LOL at her defense:

Her attorney, Michael Salnick, argued that she thought she was being recorded as part of a hoax to get her husband on a reality television show.

AKA COPS :P

another criminal who I've lacked empathy for was the one where an older homeless guy got arrested for putting a knife to a clerk's throat and threatened her to slit her neck if she didn't give him any money from the till at a convenience store, then when the officers soon captured him he started crying, plus the suspect has done other robberies and he was also a crack cocaine addict, this episode is from Season 14, Episode 26 (Fort Worth, Texas)

reply

[–] Charlie_Foxtrot_Company 9 years ago

Actually I did kind of feel bad for him, not much but I guess I can understand where he was coming from as a coke addict.

Another one is this guy who beat his pregnant girlfriend with a stick and told cops at first she was his sister (ew gross, why would he even lie about that, wtf?)

This father who was ramming a car with his ex wife, daughters and her friends it. He was seriously trying to kill them. He was charged with attempted murder and didn't seem to give a *beep*. I hope somebody "rams" him in prison.

reply

[–] csweetleaf2 9 years ago

I did feel the robber had a really bad problem with crack cocaine to where he had to do robberies to support his habit, I know it's hard to control your drug habits.

Was the episode where a guy beating his pregnant girlfriend with a stick and told the cops at first that his girlfriend was his sister from Little Rock, Arkansas (1993)? I seem to remember that episode but not sure if it's the right one.

I don't remember the episode where a father was ramming a car with his ex-wife, daughters and friends and was trying to kill them at all but it sure sounds like a good episode.

White trash that are so drunk & trying to drive....or fighting.... IN FRONT OF THEIR KIDS!!!!!!!
If you want to get so crap-faced that you become belligerent, don't have kids!

Another criminal who I've lacked empathy for was the one where a guy got arrested for causing a disturbance with the clerk at a liquor store because he wanted a discount on his vodka because it was his birthday but the clerk wouldn't give it to him and he got so mad that he started cussing out with the clerk and tried to pick a fight with him, plus the suspect was on parole and arrived at the liquor store as a passenger of a stolen car yet the suspect claims that he walked to the store yet he was barefoot!

reply

[–] Arvin-G-Borkar 8 years ago

That is kind of oxymoronic. The reason why they have kids is because they were being stupid in the first place. Probably had sex and a kid resulted for it.

I have read over and over that she was a wimp for going to the ambulance because she got blood on her. It is a regulation they have to go to the ambulance to get cleaned up as blood can contain hundreds of deadly diseases, especially from a drug addict.

Another criminal who I've had the least empathy for was a young man who'd gotten arrested for having crack cocaine in his vehicle and the suspect claims that his mother put the crack in his prescription bottle, then the officer calls the suspect's mother to arrive on scene and she denied the crack was hers, the officer who resembles "The Rock" was the main officer in that episode.

[–] GreenGoblinsOckVenom86 9 years ago

Probably my least favorite and it happens a lot, is the person who says they didn't do it even when there's overwhelming evidence that they did. I remember this one where a guy steals a woman's purse and then claims he was holding it for some woman and insists he didn't do anything wrong even when the police go through it and find the woman's ID that reported it stolen. There's other episodes where they find a person with drugs and then the person tells them the guy they got it from is nearby and points them out. So they go up to that guy and he claims he didn't sell any drugs but they find out he did. Even after it's been proven these people are getting arrested and being told their rights and the person is still going on about how they didn't do anything. It annoys me.

Green Goblin is great! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1L4ZuaVvaw

Another episode I've totally forgotten all about where I didn't have any empathy for a criminal is the one where a super tall guy (he had to be around 6'6", 6'7") got into a fight with an elderly man who was much smaller than him and the suspect was totally beating the crap out of the elderly man, this episode was from Houston, Texas (Season 3).
