Black Lives Matter: UK 'has always had a race problem' and people are 'finally looking in the mirror', UK spokesperson saysA spokesperson for the Paramount Network said:"Cops is not on the Paramount Network and we don't have any current or future plans for it to return."

It is not clear whether Langley Productions, the company that makes the show, will try to find a new network. Sky News has contacted the firm for comment. The show, which has the reggae song Bad Boys as its theme tune, ran on the Fox network for 25 years until 2013. It then moved to Spike TV, which was rebranded as the Paramount Network in 2018.Gone With The Wind, starring Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable and Hattie McDaniel, tells the love story of Scarlett O'Hara , the daughter of a plantation owner in Georgia, and Rhett Butler , a Southern aristocrat.

The film broke theatre attendance records on its release and went on to win eight Oscars, including best picture, best actress for Leigh and best supporting actress for McDaniel - the first black person to ever win an Academy Award. However, McDaniel had to sit separately from her co-stars, at a table at the back of the room, and the film has been heavily criticised for its depiction of slavery.
