Cops

I was sitting here watching cops and I was wondering why do we like watching shows like this? Why would we want to watch people get pulled over and taken to jail? And who do you root for when your watching cops? I think the reason we like watching cops is because it is pretty action packed and us as humans love action. I dont think we really like watching people go to jail but i think we like to watch the reason they are going to jail and laugh about how dumb people can be. Even with that said I find myself rooting for the bad guys like they are going to get away or something. I also like how they act real tough at the begining but once they finailly get cought they change their mood or blame it on someone else. Its funny how the way people act in these shows.
