Cops re runs from the 90’s

It was a different world

I came into my teens and into my 20s both in the 90s. And my memory is scary good, to the point that it sometimes seems a curse.

I remember the world back then very well, like it was yesterday. I would tell my kids about that world as they were growing up and it was difficult for them to imagine how much things changed in under 2 decades.

If the entire world agreed to go back to no internet, no cell phones, only landline phones, carbureted engines and a time before "reality TV" was a thing, I'd be in Heaven.

And Grunge ruled the airwaves and your CD collection

Yea, born in ‘89 and I truly believe the 1990’s was the last great decade to be a kid.

I never moved on. After the early 2000s, ALL music went to shite.

90's was also the last decade of great movies IMO.

I was a 70's kid, 80's teen, and came into adulthood in the 90's. All downhill from there.

I enjoyed the 80s and 90s but these days are pretty good as well. More reliable cars, better medical tech, easier communication, more options for price comparisons for almost anything, more hobbies if you're looking.

I like watching Hunter reruns from the 1980s. Used to watch it with my dad when I was a teen.

I’m - 93 kid. I memorized my friends house phones.

I've got an LSU football program from the 1930s. They had ads in it for lots of different local businesses. The ad had the store phone at the bottom. Two digits. IE, 'Sears Dept. Store...phone: 35'.

I started in police work in 1997. You are correct.

That was a time where the producers could show what cops actually had to deal with on a day to day basis rather than being driven by political correctness. Like dealing with a naked guy high on PCP punching through a wooden fence then fighting with a group of cops while completely impervious to pain.

Live PD captured some of that when it first started...before it was cancelled (almost) immediately after the George Floyd video became national headlines.

Born in 81…. Remember riding my bike all over Mandeville, never having a curfew. Hell most of my life we never locked the door. Times felt different. Remember some kids wrecking into our fence on the lakefront and we just watched the push the car till they got it going. Cops came and looked then left. No real big deal because there wasn’t any real damage. Go get a paper every Sunday morning at the news stand, maybe some baseball cards from frank. Had a boat tied up and would take it back into the bayou. Nothing was scary or dangerous.

Well, if things go according to plan, in about 20 years the young ones will be telling you how much you fricked up the world, their future, and want you to just die already.
But that's OK, we know you didn't start the fire.

I have now devoted several years of my life towards securing myself the ability and supplies to disappear off grid and let these people suffer in the world they've created while I chill on the river bank or in the garden.

I'm not one to go placing blame on any certain generation because ultimately things are the way they are because ALL generations allowed it. I've got some pretty strong opinions about the millennial generation and basically I openly profess that they're completely lost, but I do have to admit I've seen some minor glimmers of hope from them. I believe wholeheartedly though that GenZ will either bring us back or destroy us. I just haven't figured out which yet. I've got 5 GenZ kids, all grown, and four of the five are strong conservatives while the fifth is a true moderate. I have hope.
