@mantaraye I thought about that too.  She is tiny.

@chickenbutt I had a dream last night and Mastrianni was in it. Hahaha😁

I came upon this show channel surfing late last night.  I still don't understand the reasoning behind it.

I think it's good in that it humanizes the police and let's people see the good side of what they do.  

It bothers me that so often we only hear negativity about everything.  

Most people are good and go into jobs like this with the idea of making a difference and helping others.

I watched a few episodes.  It's not something I'd watch very often, but I did enjoy seeing the good side of serving the public.  I've always appreciated anyone who does jobs other's don't want to do and most especially someone like police, firemen, etc.

My best friend all through high school and later was married to a police lieutenant.  He is a wonderful, kind man.  He retired several years ago.  He used to tell us the most dangerous calls were the domestic ones.

Is it me or does it seem like Dan says "let's take a quick break" more and more? Just seemed like a lot of commercials this weekend.

I'm glad someone else will be in the studio next week. I'm overdosing on Sticks. I like him but I'd like to see some other "stars". 

That shirt Tom Morris had on was "wild"!

My guess is...there have been more & more domestic issues/serving warrants & they don’t know what they’re walking in on.  Taking a commmercial break allows the producer to assess everything.  

Another thing I noticed, we’ve have several “we decided not to show footage” due to the sensitive nature of the accident/situation. 

And yes, that shirt was crazy.  I knew twitter would light up as soon as they opened the show. Ha.

It's Friday again!

Here’s a good article I found about Officer Loeb.

She’s going to be on Facebook and Instagram tonight.

Lots of social media presence.  Will be interesting!

Deputy Rebecca Loeb knew at the age of 12 she wanted to be a police officer.

But Loeb, now 27 with four years of policing and a law degree under her belt, never expected working with the Lake County Sheriff's Office would bring under the spotlights on national TV. She is scheduled to appear Friday and Saturday night in studio for A&E's hit show "Live PD," a documentary series that follows police officers in the course of their duties and broadcasts footage of them live.

Lake County deputies, including Loeb, have been featured since last summer on the show. Since her first appearance, she now has more than 16,000 followers on Twitter and gets recognized even while off-duty. Loeb said she's "unique to the show," which is what drew producers to invite her on as a guest analyst for two nights alongside host Dan Abrams and analyst Tom Morris Jr.

I think it's a combination of me being a lawyer and carrying pink handcuffs," Loeb said. She's not the only Lake County deputy to carry them, but Loeb said viewers have frequently commented on her color choice in cuffs.

Born in Buffalo Grove, Loeb graduated from Adlai E. Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire before getting her undergraduate degree in legal studies, with honors, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She was halfway through law school at Chicago-Kent College of Law when she took a semester off to enter the police academy.

Loeb worked midnight shifts with the Libertyville Police Department while finishing her law degree, she said. She passed the Illinois Bar Exam in February last year and started working with the Sheriff's Office in April. "I don't practice right now. I just have the education in my back pocket," Loeb said. "In this day and age, more and more officers are getting higher degrees."

Loeb said fellow deputies will ring her up with questions because of her law training to clarify decisions they've made while on duty to ensure they are making the right call. And that's the kind of Sheriff's Office they have in Lake County, Loeb said.

"If you watch our department (on "Live PD") every week, not to brag about our department, but I think we're the most professional," Loeb said. Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran said he personally recruited Loeb, who has developed a following from her TV appearances due to her charisma and confidence. But it's her intelligence and professionalism that spurred him to bring Loeb into the department. "She's got enough tools on her belt, and knows how to use them," Curran said.

Since appearing on the show, Loeb said, young girls have come up to her to say they never thought they could be police officers when they grew up until they saw her on TV. "It's definitely not what I expected when I became a cop," Loeb said. "At the end of the day, I'm just trying to make the world a better place."
