Sorry I got the episode number wrong! This is Episode 14 of season 1.

This Plain Clothes day also happens less than 4 months into their 13 month rookie year. And I’m glad that’s all pointed out that Tim must have actually been a bad TO to have that many rookies wash out. Also, their rookie year lasts well into season 3.

dose this mean we are 1 week away from greenlight? oooo shit

My best guess is senior stuff preplanned whole "You need to stay at the base and do busywork instead of going on patrol on your plain clothes day" to bring his attitude down a notch or ten, because he seriously had attitude problems in season 1

love the reactions, cannot wait for your comments on the “daddy cop” song.

48:03 I absolutely love how you both are starting to react to these subtle Chenford moments. 48:03

I personally feel like they weren’t actively trying to make their rookies nervous, just basically saying “hmmm” to whatever decision they were making. And Chen was just self sabotaging herself.

the bit about the detective getting his coffee just right was hilarious haha

Lucy: the hot chick😍 Bradford: hot shot😈 Nolan: the new old guy🤣

Can't wait for them to get to the Rosalind Dyer episodes

And y’all left off the best part.. When Lucy leaves Tim with hers, Jackson’s & John’s bar tabs!!!😄😄

Im a military police officer and we have the same radio and PA mics in our patrol vehicles. Them speaking through the PA mic pisses me off everytime lmfaoo

I think I actually hate myself for knowing that much about making coffee when I don’t even drink it.

If the handcuffed guy running away falls and gets hurt because he's cuffed, then sues the plain clothes officer along with everyone else, is the plain clothes officer off the hook because they're observing?

Most cop shows always have detectives give patrol officers orders. My uncle was a cop and he says that doesn’t happen the way it’s portrayed

I just can't wait till you guys do episode 1 of season 4. The commentary gonna get wild xD

The next episode is so good I cannot wait for you to see it

I remember this episode. I wondered if the detective was going to go out on patrol instead 😂

If you wanna get to know the guys, join the live stream and talk about Tardigrades!

Keep it up with the rookie 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I know this show sometimes do so unbelieveable things and its just funny at this point, but other than those, do you guys like the show?

ummm my new favorite youtubers reacting to my favorite show as real cops i love it🤩🤩

Something I will never understand is, LAPD is very clear how to report a shooting on radio. "7 Adams 18, shots fired, officers need help." Then give the location. You don't call backup code 3, that is very redundant sometimes they will also verbally request an Airship and a sergeant which is also redundant In the episode where officer Bradford is shot, the first season, Lucy Chen puts out the call exactly how it is supposed to be. Then she adds "please send help right away" No real life rookie would make that mistake.

It seems to vary by department. At my department, the FTO (Sgt) forgot it was my "shadow phase" so he took off all of his hear and turned his tee shirt inside out and put on his gun and jumped in the passenger side.

Thank you again for the reaction on this movie❤. Grate movie❤.

Loving it! Great breakdowns lol

As much as I love these videos, I am looking forward to the latter seasons of the rookie. Some of this shit gets wild. 😂

How could Bradford call for impound when officer Chen has her radio on her at all times. Did she just not hear Bradford make that call or did he do it over a text message

For the peeping tom scene, I cant remember the case, but I'm pretty positive there is legal precident for headlong flight at the sight of police being PC for at least detainment, even with no other indication of a crime yet occuring. Dude clearly looked at her when she sounded her siren, and the proceeded to run when he was previously stationary before he became aware of police presence, so I think it could be articulated against any claim of impromptu cardio. And between the siren/lights and her calling over the PA for him to stop while he continued to flee, she should have resisting pretty easy. That being said, I get the feeling door checking isnt a part of the standard LAPD use of force matrix 😂

2:49 this is exactly why I watch this channel Edit: correction, that’s for moments like 21:05

you guys should do the episode where nolan gets a greenlight put on him

what FTO program is 100-200 shifts, my local SO is 14ish weeks 50ish shifts/eval days...

She could have reminded him "im not here"... its the only annoying part of nolans to

Can you guys react to Bosch? It’s more oriented around homicide detectives rather than patrol but I find it to be one of the better cops shows with a good amount of realism. It’s a pretty well written well acted cop show.

I have a suggestion for some videos if you're looking for new ideas: I think it maybe very interesting if you could react to some documentaries about police work in other countries? I was really surprised when you said that they don't use "enough" deadly force on the show bc I always thought they used such a completely unrealistic hollywood-action-show amount of force... Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed the show, I'm just really fascinated by how much of it you deem to be realistic or even too "soft" in it's betrayal (can't think of a better word)... And now hearing you say that they should have used deadly force earlier really surprised me, so I did a quick google search. According to the statistic I found "our" police force here in Germany of around 280 000 officers shot 62 bullets, killing 15 people in 2019 (=newest number available bc they publish it only after all cases are closed, trials etc. are over). Now I couldn't find the right numbers to compare this too in the 3 minutes I spent googeling this but I did find a statistic saying that 999 people were shot dead by police officers in 2019. Now obviously the US has 4 times the population so the equivalent in Germany would be 60 people, but that still means that the German police shot only 6% as many people as were shot by US police officers! This isn't to hate on US cops or make it an us vs. you debate or anything and definitely not to be like "we are better" or so. I'm a big believer in most differences in behavior being due to systemic differences and not anything having to do with individual, bc I think ppl overall are basically the same everywhere with only cultural practices and the systems we grow up in making us different. I definitely don't believe in ppl being "better" or "worse" somewhere bc that's just lazily making issues about individuals rather than looking at the complexe interactions between humans and their environment. But I think it's always helpful to compare the "results" of those environments to see how we all can improve on ours to get more of the results we desire. And I think keeping the peace with minimal force, especially minimal deadly force should be a desired outcome. So that just leads me to wondering differs so much in the way the police operates/are trained/ in different countries or what else is different in the environment they operate in, that lead to such different use of force? The different guns laws certainly come to mind. It must be so different to basically have to fear for your life during every traffic stop you perform. (Before people come at me, yes very very "bad guys", as in organized crime do have guns here as well, but the average person just doesn't. Guns are something I see in movies, not in daily life. It's so unrealistic for someone to have a gun that even in movies, if the character is required to have a gun they make them so ridiculous things, like rob a police officer or be some sort of computer genius who can get things through dubious contacts on the dark web and if someone pulled a gun at me in real life I would probably just die bc I'd never believe it was a real gun unless they actually shot me). And Germany is by no means the country with the least shots fired or people killed btw. I'm just using this as an example bc it's my lived experience. But any reactions to documentaries about police work in any country in Europe or elsewhere would be really interesting. Anyway. Stumbled upon your channel just recently and am already huge fan! Your reactions are so interesting bc you give actual insight and add to the content you're watching. Really cool!

Not sure the theory of where the police are is where crime doesn't happen always works. I was working at a shop in the UK whilst police were taking a statement from me and we had a Shoplifter come in, assault a member of staff and steal from the shop right in front of the police officer who promptly stopped him and nicked him.

I'm pretty sure that the girl in the peeping tom scene was meant to be underage...you can see her in the background with her mom in the driveway towards the end of the scene...that's the reason for detainment.

Can’t wait to see true crime episode and Real crime episode

Wouldn’t Nolan’s FTO at least get a command discipline for dereliction of duty?

What is the average amount handcuffs a cop should own.and do they provide you with any. Just seems like Nolan always has multiple pairs of handcuffs with him even out if uniform.

If you guys are super annoyed by the way The Rookie, a show I like a lot, unrealistically protects suspects (no one ever dies) you should look up Flashpoint, a canadian show about a canadian Swat team that I always thought was really realistic and doesn't pull it's punches.

How interesting.

Captain Anderson is one of the best Members of the cast, I was so sad when she was written out of the show.

With the motel situation, they have to come out at some point, so why potentially force a barricaded suspect situation? I have no law enforcement experience, apart from stories from like half a dozen family members who have served, including an uncle in a warzone, so please correct me if I'm way off, but it just seems obvious.

If you haven't played it, you should do let's play of LA Noire

9:42 how in the hell can you use 2hrs to change a battery ?? Are the people mentally challenged at the LPD???? Even going out and buying a new battery shouldn't take 2hrs Can the guy just come walking in and demand to use her Rookie for whatever purpose he want,shouldn't he need to go higher up on the food chain getting green light for that?? Also. Wouldn't that be helping the lawyer for the other team? If he find out a rookie has done the evidence??? Seem so wrong since he is suppose to get field training in Undercover/plainclothes work? (Remind of heartbreak ridge. When highway get criticized for actually training his men for battle.Instead of letting them walk around unprepared ) 15:35 shouldn't he have his weapon out at that point????? 2 possibly armed thugs are beating up another guy,and he runs in head first. What was the plan?? Yelling Surprise!! were from jehovah witness,do you have a minute?(Ok that was unfair.Everyone would run if he said that)But still running around in a warehouse/factory looking for suspect.Alone.Seem kinda dumb. 17:05 Seem kind of weird thing to do. IF the suspect now got away,and managed to kill or rape someone. Wouldn't that go back on the department? And since shit floats downward kind of fast,wouldn't it affect both their career`?? I mean if he in court says something like Yeaah. RBF overthere saw me get up and runaway but she didn't do anything to stop me. 47:48 I would've shot him.Just for being an asshole

I have idea for video reaction what could be interesting, UK vs USA police officer

Can you do Season 1 Episode 16: Greenlight

Wouldn't the dog complaint count as animal cruelty?

Also... how to access your discord? Asking for a friend.

hey can you react to the one with jackston and stanton

love your videos pls make more videos about the rookie ❤❤❤❤ edit- pin pls

You say it's not realistic to not leverage deadly force. But unarmed police forces all around the world manage it every day.

The rookie is sp far from reality it's cringe....team Southland

I love these videos! I am a true crime nut and ,(before I had kids) wanted to become an officer. I would love your take on this documentary video from Explore with Us! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLWYarSesZ7GhoU.html Even just the first 15 minutes!
