Shocked & beyond disappointed about this. To the loyal
#LivePDNation
please know I, we, did everything we could to fight for you, and for our continuing effort at transparency in policing. I was convinced the show would go on. . More to come. . .
I am realizing that the vast majority of people criticizing
#LivePD
have never watched an episode. Criticize elements of the show and specific incidents. Fair enough. But most of the negative seems to be generalities which is sad.
To all of you asking whether
#LivePD
coming back. . .The answer is yes. All of us associated with the show are as committed to it as ever. We are still discussing some specifics but I want to assure the
#LivePDNation
that we are not abandoning you.
I am going to finally go to sleep but I just want to say one more thing to the
#LivePDNation
. Thank you for making this so much more than a tv show. You created a huge community of kind, caring people with whom I hope to stay in touch with in this next chapter. More tomorrow. . .
Thanks to all of you for the kind words about my efforts today (and the handful of not so kind ones) to explain
#LivePD
and the facts behind various decisions that were made. The
#LivePDFamily
lives on. Good night.
Happy New Year! To all of those in the
#livepdnation
asking. . .the answer is yes. . . I am confident that
#LivePD
will be back in 2021. More to come. . .
Great line from cross exam by Michael Avenatti of his former client Stormy Daniels: "Avenatti: Didn't you tell the New York Times that watching me work was like watching the Sistine Chapel painted?
Stormy Daniels: That's that you told me to say."
In an exclusive NBC interview with
#SavannahGuthrie
,
#AmberHeard
said that she does not blame the jury for their verdict in the defamation case. "I actually understand....he's a beloved character, and people feel they know him," Heard said.
Just another reminder that
#LivePD
was about so much more than some, who never saw the show, now claim. . I (and many others) am continuing to push for its return and promise that I will update when we have any news.
And to be clear as I have said on my
@SXMPOTUS
show, you can both support the important and impactful peaceful protests and support the overwhelming majority of police officers doing the noble and difficult work they do every day.
I just tweeted about a police officer shot dead in Houston and many of you are responding with political rhetoric. I’m thinking about Sgt Sean Rios’ family and how much I want the perps caught 🙏
I think A&E is doing what they said in their initial announcement, determining if there’s a “pathway” forward. I hope so and think with some changes it could be an important part of the national discussion. (In the meantime, I’ll have some other non-livepd show news tomorrow)
1/1 So many of you have been asking about the future of
#LivePD
and I don't want you to think I'm ignoring you. The bottom line is that I continue to advocate strongly for its return (with some behind the scenes protocol changes). While. . .
@danabrams
Dan, we will always be grateful to all of you. We featured more than 100 missing children on
#LivePD
and over half of them were recovered. 💛
I was so horrified and sorry to hear about this. Officer Espericueta had appeared on Live PD and I know that our entire community will be thinking about his family, friends and fellow officers as they grieve. We grieve with you.
Our police officers put their lives on the line for the safety of our community. Today our hearts are broken as we mourn the loss of Cpl. Jose “Speedy” Espericueta. We ask for continued prayers for his family and our officers during this difficult time.
Love this.
@PatrickMahomes
talking about what he will do the night before the
#SuperBowl
. He’s just doing what anyone else would do. Watching
#livepd
!
3/3 I believe the show can be an important part of the national discussion about policing in America. So please stay tuned. . .and thanks to all of you!
Okay!! Here’s an update on the dog: First, her name is Maxine. After several tests at the vet last night, we are HAPPY to report she’s home, stopped shivering and is now resting comfortably. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers. 🦮 🙏🏼

Hey

We are shooting live but Based on the

technical issues I’m told the show will air from the beginning. Believe me we are frustrated. Sorry!
@OfficialOPLive
Hey
#LivePDNation
. . . we have secured an interview with the owner of Maxine, the dog rescued on last night's show and she will be joined by the recovering pup! Coming up during tonights

They just threw the book at Alec Baldwin. Not only is he facing an involuntary manslaughter charge but they added another option which would increase the sentence from up to 18 months, to a five year MANDATORY sentence.
As various cable stations cover the 9 year sentence for WNBA star Brittney Griner in Russia, I cant help think more context is necessary. This isnt a real court with a real sentence, this is just the Russian government deciding what provides them with the most leverage
I am heartbroken for my fallen and injured Jewish brothers and sisters in Pittsburgh and am praying for the 4 brave law enforcement officers injured doing the heroic work they do every day.
2/2 as of today I don't yet have the answers to most of your questions about how or when the show could come back, please know that there are active and ongoing discussions and as soon as I know more I promise to share it. I/we care deeply about the
#LivePDNation

You hear that
#livepdnation
! You asked for some additional shows and we are delivering! We will have our next special bonus episode on Wednesday Dec 5 at 8p!!
#LivePD
Wishing everyone in the
#livepdnation
a very Merry Christmas! Thank you for joining us this past year to create an amazing community. Special thanks to all the officers, the fans and the crews. Enjoy the day. You deserve it!
Ok so bad news we had nothing on air for 75 minutes or so, the good news is I’m told the show will be played in its entirety and commercial free! Thank you for staying with us. Now let’s keep

@SXMPOTUS
You in fact *can't* support both the protests and the cops. They are diametrically opposed positions. You idiot. You spineless moron.
To the
#LivePDNation
, this new show doesn't change that I am continuing to fight hard for the return of Live PD and hope to have some news in the next couple of weeks. 2) On my news show
@NewsNationNow
I will also be highlighting police heroism (with some familiar faces.)
I had been preparing to answer questions about the
#LivePD
footage of the death of Javier Ambler when the show was canceled. But the issues are still critical so here are responses to various questions I've been asked (and thoughts on the end of the show).
Maxine's owner announces that she passed on Sunday. Sheriff Lott stresses that her rescue ensured that she was with family when she passed.

Hey
#LivePDNation
can you help get the word out wide that we have a special Thursday night edition of
#LivePD
tomorrow at 8p?! You asked for it so lets make sure everyone is watching!
@OfficialLivePD
Random q. A few people troll me on Twitter sending regular aggressive, mean-spirited but not profane tweets. I block those who curse but should I also block those with too much unhinged anger as well? I do want people to feel free criticize me so trying to figure out the line?
For those who can’t get behind the paywall, the WSJ headline is “Live PD is coming back this summer as “On Patrol Live”
@ReelzChannel
. The show will be back on Friday and Saturday nights sometime later this summer! (And the name is a “working” title).
This
#PhiladelphiaShooting
once again serves as a reminder (to those who don't follow law enforcement closely) about the dangers police officers face every day they go to work.
Hey
#LivePDNation
! FYI, our official 100th show will be NEXT Friday not today. Remember, we had to cancel one show due to a power outage in the building. . . and if we weren't live it doesn't count! We have a lot to celebrate and a lot of thanks for all of you! See you tonight.
Let me say this since I’m being asked about it a lot. . . We have one more department to announce for Season 4 of
#livepd
and if it’s the one we have been working on, I think the
#LivePDNation
will be pretty happy about it. . .
Thank you 🙏 to
@OfficialOPLive
#OPNation
! You guys made us the number one rated show in all of cable Friday night in the critical 25-54 demographic!!! And that was after waiting for 73 minutes! Sticks and I will discuss and recap tonight at 9p

Remember
@Sean_C_Larkin
told us he was “out sick” last weekend . . and then we spotted some photos of him on the west coast? Well I decided to head out there to do some sleuthing.

Prepping for tonight's
#LivePD100thEpisode
! I can't believe I've now done
#LivePD
100 times with almost 300 hours of programming! Most important, we couldn't have done it without our awesome
#LivePDNation
! Thank you and see you tonight. . .
I guess it's not really news anymore that
#LivePD
is the
#1
show on television on Friday (and Saturday) nights. But it's still hard for me to believe that we even beat live NFL pre-season football!
#LivePDNation
truly rules.
Hey
#LivePDNation
. We now have a date for that bonus episode of Live PD! Thursday, August 16 at 8pm. We are all excited. See you tonight at 9pm

One of the most important things we can all do in this time of overdue change is not let coverage of racism fade with the news cycle. My company
@abrams_media
is donating to
@MarshallProj
and
@NABJ
to try to help. I'd encourage you to do the same.
Ok I'll try. Here goes. . Hi
@Hulu
. A lot of people in the very large and vocal
#OPNation
really would like you to add
@ReelzChannel
so they can watch
#OPLive
! Seems like a smart move. . .
Ok Mike let me know!
This is the officer who died today in
#Florence
, SC. Officer Terrence Carraway had just received his 30-year service pin from the Florence Police Department.
