context: they are down officers due to a corruption scandal. tim was the lowest on the food chain that was qualified to be a TO (other than smitty, and you know they arent putting him with either of these rookies), and therefore why Grey also had to give chen a temp TO promotion.
@AddyKay that has nothing to do with that scene, or him doing training, he would have been sgt quick, and being at metro still, had he not had those setbacks
Tim was bounced out of his position as Seargant 2 Metro after an IA investigation into reckless conduct. He went back to patrol but they kept his stripes. He is mainly operating in a Sergeant 1 capacity under Grey who has now been promoted to Lieutenant. But they have made him a TO this season. It doesn’t make sense from a realism perspective, but storywise they want Lucy and Tim to be TOs together.
@ He was a Sergeant 1 on patrol in season 4&5, then he was promoted to Sergeant 2 when he went to Metro. While he was cleared by IA, Lieutenant Pine bounced him from Metro and Sergeant Grey (a Sergeant 2 at the time) brought him back working under him. Now Grey is a Lieutenant, but you don’t see Tim take over as Watch Commander, instead he is being a TO (which is usually a P3) and often leading in the same capacity he was in season 4&5 (i.e. Sergeant 1). They aren’t acknowledging that he is supposed to be at a higher rank and his duties should reflect that. I guess this means he keeps the same pay with the stripes, but he isn’t working at the equivalent level that he was in Metro. It’s convenient for the plot but I don’t think it would happen this way in real life. Either you would be formally demoted and lose your stripes, or he transfers to an equivalent role.
We had a guy show up with three years of experience at a major organization. He almost got washed out and had to repeat the three months of FTO. Turns out, he worked as an SRO and in the civil division during his time at his old organization. He had almost zero street experience. I'm happy to say that, once he was given proper instruction, he has turned into a great patrol deputy.
@@spsniper1170 Nobody is going to watch a show about cops sitting around filling out reports, giving out tickers or interviewing witnesses who didn't see anything, but that's 98 percent of the job. Dragnet was close to that but it was popular 40 years ago when it didn't have to compete with 10 other cop shows like the old "Gangbusters" radio shoot'em ups.
Just saw a TikTok post saying that the Actors that play Ridley and Texas are acting for the first time. As in this is their first ever gig. I didn't know that lol
Texas actually has other shows on his repertoire already, and Riley is a first time TV actor, but he has been a stage actor for quite a while already...
They wanted to display Off. Sugar as a little arrogant, like someone who thought he already knew everything about the job. But the writers said he will get humbled pretty quickly and I think he is a good fit for T.O. Tim, because he just got humbled himself because of something he did in season 6 and despite Tim's harsh and cold appearance, he just does it because he wants to train his rookies to be the best cops possible. He doesn't want them to be like Smitty 😂
There’s so many episodes they should do! Like when the detective is found to be a dirty cop and frames Nolan, the Doug Stanton episode where officer worst was beaten half to death, the episodes where Nolan goes rogue!
Nolan is currently the only FTO at the station, Tim is the most veteran former FTO so Tim is taking one of them and Lucy is covering until Nolan is done with his current Rookie so he can take over. Its sort of dumb but its for the plot.
Funny y'all mentioned differing laws. In Ep. 4, Texas cop clears a vehicle and finds a gun in the glove box. He declares the vehicle safe and moments later Tim finds the gun and reams him for not securing it. Here in Oklahoma we ALL carry. We have constitutional carry here.
Hello, I was LAPD in the 90’s. P3’s are FTO’s in the LAPD and just because you are a P3 does not mean you have to be an FTO. Tim is a SGT 2 and would never train a rookie. SGT 2’s are basically the watch commander and stay inside unless an unusual occurrence happens in the division then they go out. SGT 1’s are field supervisors and go out on patrol and monitor calls for service and requests for supervisors by patrol officers. I never watch this show because they get a lot of things wrong.
LAPD doesn't have corporals, just wanted to point that out. Officers you refer to as corporals are just Officer IIIs. Sgt. Bradford is an FTO due to a corruption incident that led to many terminations, having Midwilshire station understaffed.
I remember Adam-12 when LAPD first issued the stripes and Malloy put the stop to citizens calling him Corporal. The LAPD relationship seems more Private to PFC.
@@DrJhengsman well officially they don't exist: Chief Assistant chief Deputy chief Commander Captain Lieutenant Sergeant Detective Officer III+I Officer III Officer II Officer I
@@stefangnip3866 I thought they were referred to as P1, P2 or P3. Also the LAPD uses stripes and other indicators under the stripes such as stars or diamonds to indicate the assignment.
Why isn't what Tim did at 25:02 worse? He yelled out all Texas trainee's mistakes on two body cams for the defense attorney to use, including shooting tires 'joke'. The character could have waited to dress down, but he felt disrespected from the no-fear locker room incident and was lathered up.
17:01 it’s not totally uncommon but Bradford is a sergeant 2 based on his insignia. Pretty sure for lapd sergeant 2s are either watch commmander or in specialized units, sergeant 1s are typically the patrol sergeant.
The Texas dude is apparently from Sugar Land PD in the show, so not small town but much more likely suburbia. Certainly worlds different from working downtown LA. edit: whoops I hadn't gotten that far in the video 🤣
Lived in Arlington the last 5 years, and was born in Plano, I don’t know how it is down in sugar land, but Penn is hilarious , how little the writers know about us. It would’ve made more sense if he was from like Fort Worth or somewhere round here atleast.
I was and FTO and had a rookie that came from another state and he said the same thing to other officers. “I ain’t a rookie” needless to say he didn’t last long and moved to another agency.
It bothers me so much that when the alarm went off in the garage, Penn just sat there and stared at the flashing red light after being told to run away
Have y'all seen Blue Bloods? There's 3 episodes were Lyle Lovett plays a Texas Ranger. Season 10 Episode 14 "Fog of War", Season 12 Episode 10 "Old Friends", Season 13 Episode 15 "Close to Home".
In season 6, Bradford fumbled the bag hard when a former military buddy of his tried to loop him into k!lling another military buddy of there's that they thought was dead. So they demoted him from sergeant/metro back to TO (seems a little sus to me that they still want him teaching after getting into a situation like that, but 🤷🏼♀it's a TV show, I guess).
Actually the reason Tim is a TO this season was because of what happened near the end of last which if you watched last season events led to him technically being demoted
Since The Rookie is written by know-nothing Liberals then I have to believe that the Texas officer is their mock-amalgamation character based on Matthew McConaughey and the Hodge Twins. I mean Matty is obsessed with his own body and the Hodge Twins always talk about "getting up in them Sugar Walls." Right??? Well, I think I'm right and that's all that matters. lol
It's most definitely a clash of cultures. TV unfortunately tends to stoop to stereotyping when writing characters and California tends to see itself as the center of the universe.
@@OnlyCops To be fair, Texans don't say that "Texas is the greatest state in America" but rather "Texas is the greatest country in the world." It's certainly the only state prepared for a Red Dawn situation, although that preparation varies from county to county, as a whole Texas is big, beautiful, soggy, full of wrath and resources just waiting to be released. I feel like I just described a certain type of women in Texas.........anywho.
I think in this fictional version of the LAPD any cop can be an FTO with the training to do so, as it's a 5% bump in pay. Nyla was a detective doing field training and mentioned the pay increase as a reason for doing it. Also, given that Tim apparently enjoys training new people, that's probably why he's doing it, that and it keeps him from being stuck at a desk. Given his personality I imagine he would hate being at the desk.
I love watching the show and then a couple days later watch you guys react to it and see if you mention anything that I found to be a bit unrealistic. Keep it up!
Can confirm that FLOCK cameras read license plates, at least in Michigan. Cops will swarm (okay maybe this is a bit of a hyperbole) the location the vehicle was seen and try to catch it. ... Unless they cross 8 mile, then every precinct gives up lol
The second I kew he was a Texas cop I immediately thought oh only cops will have a good tie skipping to season 7 31:38 actually he is but pretty sure swat just ended but there may be a season 8
In the show there wasn’t any available FTO’S, so Bradford had to step in to help. Also I think at the beginning of the episode there was some kind of raid (with no swat) where they were using shoulder radio things, and then proceeded to not use them the rest of the episode
That definitely makes sense and Tim clearly already has the experience to do FTO. It would just be hard to do effective training and evaluations while still doing his SGT duties for the shift.
33:00 The other funny part is, all the prop weapons continue to be Glock 17s. LAPD I believe has them on their approved carry list. The standard issue these days though, is the FN 509.
Context: Their division was running super low on FTO's so SGT Bradford hat to help, and Chen got temp FTO. Nolan is practically the only real FTO left. (Smitty is a FTO but, Smitty will be Smitty)
He could be from the giant city of Bevil Oaks Texas (I know he says Sugar Land). Its legit the size of a neighborhood. It is 2.1 square miles with a population of 1,000. For what its worth, I'm from Beaumont Tx, about 2hrs from Sugar Land and I have never once done the 2 finger salute or said "Howdy" in my life.
@ Yeah, Bevil Oaks doesn't have a police force anymore but they had one for 10+ years. It consisted of 1 LEO that they labeled as a Marshall. He was in his 50's-60's and operated out of his house lol. The one before him was so overweight that when he did a traffic stop he would get on the loud speaker and make you get out of your vehicle and walk back to his vehicle. 🤦🏽♂️🤣
@@OnlyCopsyeah but he’s like the worst green lantern he doesn’t even play Hal Jordan or John Stewart (obviously) he’s playing guy Gardner who everyone hates
I was watching the newest episode (7x03) Nolan was following a bad guy through a dark underground corridor and he was flipping his flashlight on when moving through a corner and then *turning it off* afterwards. Deliberately. I was floored. What happened to "Lights on, Boot!"? Edit Okay, nevermind, he did that thing where you stick your back to cover in a firefight as opposed to keeping your gun between you and the target. This is the Rookie.
I get why you had to jump forward to see officer Texas aka officer Sugar, there wasn't a lot of spoilers in what you watched, although some in the comments trying to fill you in. I really enjoy watching your reactions, learning about all the things the show does wrong. I've never really cared about how realistic a show is because it's just supposed to be entertainment, but recently I was watching Rookie and getting annoyed with choices the writers were making, especially about the rookies and officer Sugar and I was thinking, I'm watching to much Bill and Josh, I won't stop though😀
Bradford got assigned back as a TO due to them being short staffed and a lot of other stuff going on at the department which is why Chen is also a TO now
Told ya.They use every cliche in the book. 27:35 explains a lot🤣 They can't call in swat.they don't have the styling with extra hold budget,which nolan dooes
The writers put so much effort into trying to 'seamlessly' explaining certain decisions like why characters are doing things outside of their status and area of responsibility and you lost so much of the exposition especially around Tim by cutting around Officer Sugarland. A lot of your questions would have been answered or explained to the audience since they know people are coming into either relatively new or having forgotten how last season ended.
Did "Nolan" improvise "Texas PD"? Kinda looked like a bit of a "He's from... fuck where is he from... Texas PD! Yuuup! Yeehaaaw!" Bill and Josh: "There would be SWAT and stuff.. It's not like FBI has HRT" Me: "It's not like the DHS and maybe the fucking military would be there..." (I mean, DHS, maybe DOD, if it's navy maybe NCIS, ooo a crossover would be epic! xD ) Also I got a weird feeling that a guy shooting at Police in the middle of a bunch of people (crowds), it would be more of a reaction like "Fuck it I might get shot but the civilians are at greater risk" and you just go for it and fuck them up(Nolan style)? And there are no rifles because they defunded the police xD

hes a TO because of the whole corruption scandal that got a ton of officers fired so they're super short staffed

He's still Seargeant 2, look at his stripes. They can't take away his stripes because IA investigation was closed and they didn't find anything wrong.

"Good shot officer Nolan."
He did not see who did it. He just knew, that Nolan is the only one who could do it. :D
Yep 🤣🤣🤣
This is the most based take
100%
Nolan has like 25 officer involved shootings i would have to think that internal afars gave him his own desk to do the paper work at
He would 100% be gone from that department (justified or not) by like number 4 🤣

That does make sense and is rather realistic for today where most police departments are short staffed
He could be from the giant city of Bevil Oaks Texas (I know he says Sugar Land). Its legit the size of a neighborhood. It is 2.1 square miles with a population of 1,000. For what its worth, I'm from Beaumont Tx, about 2hrs from Sugar Land and I have never once done the 2 finger salute or said "Howdy" in my life.
That is true 🤣 I have never said howdy unironically and I've lived in Texas my whole life LOL
@ Yeah, Bevil Oaks doesn't have a police force anymore but they had one for 10+ years. It consisted of 1 LEO that they labeled as a Marshall. He was in his 50's-60's and operated out of his house lol. The one before him was so overweight that when he did a traffic stop he would get on the loud speaker and make you get out of your vehicle and walk back to his vehicle. 🤦🏽♂️🤣
Howdy, from College Station TX 😂 we say it a lot here
🤣🤣🤣 Howdy from DFW lol
Nolan is not Batman. He is Green Lantern.
(In the upcoming Superman movie)
Omg for real?
There are a lot of them.@@OnlyCops
@@OnlyCopsyeah but he’s like the worst green lantern he doesn’t even play Hal Jordan or John Stewart (obviously) he’s playing guy Gardner who everyone hates
@@TheHaas123he did play Hal Jordan in the new 52 animated movies though
@@ohneil yeah but not in live action
WHAT THE NEW EPISODE???? Oooooo i know ima love this already
I was watching the newest episode (7x03)
Nolan was following a bad guy through a dark underground corridor and he was flipping his flashlight on when moving through a corner and then *turning it off* afterwards. Deliberately. I was floored. What happened to "Lights on, Boot!"?
Edit
Okay, nevermind, he did that thing where you stick your back to cover in a firefight as opposed to keeping your gun between you and the target. This is the Rookie.
I had the exact same experience LOL
Bill, we need to hold him 37:24. NOLAN FOR HALLOWEEN 2025!!!
LET'S GOOOO
11:42 should watch EP 4 😂😂 texas boy dose just that
Oh no 🤣🤣🤣
Are you still planning to do the entire series? I really want to see how you guys react to Stanton in season 3
Yes 🥰 we promise
I want to see them react to Badger in Season 3 😄
@@themandomercgaming that will be funny
As Texas officers, do you claim this character as a Texas officer? And love your content gents! Keep
Up the good work
Absolutely not 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the support!
There's a new show on Amazon prime called on call and its based in long beach instead of la
That was a good one
We watched episode 1, very impressed so far
havent seen it yet
24:25 STAFF Sergeant Tim Bradford :D
He has a watch commander rank Grey had before he made LT.
*staff sergeant Tim Bradford lol
Yall really just skipped 5 seasons lmao
We are going to go back 🤣
So how does the ranking system work for cop cause tim had a staff Sargent rank on. Is like a military ranking system
What about the rest of the seasons. Are y'all still gunna watch those.
@@gamelove0169 we are! We just got a ton of requests to react to Texas PD
@OnlyCops try 9-1-1 lone star
Absolutely love that y'all are back on the rookie
we are back baby!
36:44 the officer that was shot is the guy that played doug stanton
Oh wow! Good catch!
I get why you had to jump forward to see officer Texas aka officer Sugar, there wasn't a lot of spoilers in what you watched, although some in the comments trying to fill you in. I really enjoy watching your reactions, learning about all the things the show does wrong. I've never really cared about how realistic a show is because it's just supposed to be entertainment, but recently I was watching Rookie and getting annoyed with choices the writers were making, especially about the rookies and officer Sugar and I was thinking, I'm watching to much Bill and Josh, I won't stop though😀
I'm sorry we are changing the lens you watch the show through lol I hope you eventually find it enriching!
Bradford got assigned back as a TO due to them being short staffed and a lot of other stuff going on at the department which is why Chen is also a TO now
i can't believe Bob Ross turned to a life of crime
Right?!?!?! My childhood is ruined lol
This is a fun one. Love you guys.
thanks for the love!
You may actually enjoy 911 Lonestar as it does have a different spin than 911 or The Rookie
We plan to give it a watch soon!
They are short FTOs and are not giving a recruit to smitty
Hahahahaha well that makes sense
@ smitty is “retired on duty” 😂😂😂
9-1-1 Lonestar would be hilarious! It’s set in Austin!
You’d definitely need to get some police heavy scenes/episodes though, because it’s mostly FD/EMS
Oh Lord 🤣 we will add it to the list!
I really enjoyed your reaction. So entertaining and informative. Please react to blue bloods whenever you have the time.
Thank you so much! We are definitely planning to do some episodes of Blue Bloods soon!
15:42 on the accent the actor is actually from New Orleans. Which makes sense to me as i hear a lot of mush mouth from him
That makes WAY more sense 🤣🤣🤣
20:00 we have LPRs on our light bars
Told ya.They use every cliche in the book.
27:35 explains a lot🤣
They can't call in swat.they don't have the styling with extra hold budget,which nolan dooes
LOL
The writers put so much effort into trying to 'seamlessly' explaining certain decisions like why characters are doing things outside of their status and area of responsibility and you lost so much of the exposition especially around Tim by cutting around Officer Sugarland. A lot of your questions would have been answered or explained to the audience since they know people are coming into either relatively new or having forgotten how last season ended.
we do plan on going back and watching the other episodes
To be fair Nolan said he’s from A Texas pd not from Texas pd
I just need Chenford back 😂
Same 😅
Did "Nolan" improvise "Texas PD"? Kinda looked like a bit of a "He's from... fuck where is he from... Texas PD! Yuuup! Yeehaaaw!"
Bill and Josh: "There would be SWAT and stuff.. It's not like FBI has HRT" Me: "It's not like the DHS and maybe the fucking military would be there..." (I mean, DHS, maybe DOD, if it's navy maybe NCIS, ooo a crossover would be epic! xD ) Also I got a weird feeling that a guy shooting at Police in the middle of a bunch of people (crowds), it would be more of a reaction like "Fuck it I might get shot but the civilians are at greater risk" and you just go for it and fuck them up(Nolan style)? And there are no rifles because they defunded the police xD
Im new here but hf you guys talk a lot just not used to it is all 😂 the knowledge is cool to hear its mixed feeling here lmao 😆
We do talk a lot 😅
Yup, that's what we're here for.
Try 1, maybe 2, more episodes, you'll be hooked for good.
FYI Lonestar is mostly about Austin fire, not as much PD
good to know!
wait until you see episode 2 from memory with Texas
oh no lol
