Although a ninja is quick to scream “Eff The Police!!”, even the hardest of thugs will sit and watch a good Cop show.

There is something about the drama of Police work that will always capture our attention. Let’s just keep it all the way funky, there is something thoroughly entertaining about watching a high-speed chase, a drunknen motorist doing a field sobriety test, or a shoplifter explain how she got a whole aisle of candy inside her draws. In some cases, the events that transpire aren’t nearly as funny as they are intense. Whether its’ the moment that a detective discovers a rotting dead body, or a murder suspect crying as he contemplates snitching on his friend, this is the stuff that that TV gold is made of.

In honor of our favorite programming dedicated to the boys (and girls) in blue, we bring you this gallery of the cream of the crop cop shows.
