Sheriff Ed Troyer said he's happy to host crews from"Cops" in Pierce County. But his critics say it's"tone deaf."
Lyle Quasim of Tacoma Pierce County Black Collective, an anti-cop activist group, does not approve of the decision to allow “Cops” to film in Pierce County.. “It’s tone deaf to where we are at this time in our social and legal development as it relates to law enforcement and our criminal justice system.”Similarly critical is Pierce County Council Chair Ryan Mello. He told The Center Square he’s not a fan of the show.
Quasim is the problem, not police. And the more the public is exposed to the difficult work of law enforcement, the harder it is to demonize them. We are now only recently starting to see some relief, but much of the relief is only in comparison to historic highs. And it’s primarily due to repealing left-wing criminal justice reforms.
Part of the reason Pierce County works for the show is that they are actually allowed to police under Troyer. Ultimately, Troyer said this is about his commitment to transparency. He wants the community to know what’s happening in their communities.
