Celebrities with guns in the streets...

Man, you must really hate Iraq, Israel or Palestine then!

Hate is such a ... soft word.

Just kidding, I like the lands, not the people living on it.

Trish Stratus was in fitness, then a professional wrestler for a long time. I'd resist arrest long enough to do some struggling with her...

Erik Estrada? Soon to be seen on the show;

"Hey, he's not a cop! He just played one on TV. Thirty years ago!"

I predict;

Jack Osborn will be busted for confiscating and keeping drugs for himself.
LaToya will accidentally shoot herself or someone else.

Or maybe she'll try to trade her gun to Jack for some of the drugs he stole.

I'd request her to do my strip search.

Jack Osborn will be busted for confiscating and keeping drugs for himself.

Or handle a dispute between his dad and a neighbor.

LaToya will accidentally shoot herself or someone else.

I'm betting it will be her dad.

It's the badges that would bother me (if I lived anywhere near where this was going on). Unless these celebrities complete the same training any other officer of the law receives, what gives them the right to arrest a suspect? I'm sure any halfway-competent lawyer could spin this into some sort of civil rights violation, and thus have any case thrown out, leading to people who should be convicted and punished going free... and that's pretty much the best-case outcome.

My understanding, actually, is that every one of them is going through the entirety of training. These aren't celebs dressed as cops; they're celebs who have actually legally (albeit it probably not via 100% normal channels) joined a force.

I could be wrong, but that's the impression I've gotten from what I've seen/read.

If this is, in fact, correct, and the celebs have both met the physical and other requirements of joining the force, and have also gone through the qualification process in full, such that they legally are police officers, then I have no issue with this show. It's a bit dumb, but then that's true of virtually all reality TV.

I do, that part about being legally sworn-in cops.

I mean, I can accept Shaq being one, but LaToya? :\

Wait 'til they enlist celebrities into Military Basic Training.

That was an NCIS episode.

That was an NCIS episode.

That fictional reality shows only spotlight supermodels ... not that I mind seeing Alessandra Ambrosio in tight PT gear.

But I thought it was a take of that other reality show, Boot Camp?

That's what I meant about meeting the 'physical and other requirements'. I'm not familiar with many of the celebrities involved, but my suspicion would be that at least some of them wouldn't be eligible but for their dubious 'celebrity'.

And, if they wouldn't be able to become cops normally, then they shouldn't be being sworn in as cops. IMO, of course.
