Trevor okay, first up since the murder of george floyd, activists and protesters around the country have been rallying around the slogans defund the police and abolish the police. And while that hasnt happened yet in our cities, it is happening on our tvs. The popular tv show cops officially canceled. The paramount network made the announcement today just four days after the show was pulled from the scheduled.
