Ah the memories. Grew up in Jersey City on Summit Ave , walking distance from Journal Square until going into the Air Force in 76. Then back for a few years. Hoboken was a cool little town. I worked at the Clam Broth House briefly and another great Italian restaurant called Michaels Miss the great pizza back in Jersey and Sabretts hot dogs 😁. Moved to California in 84.
My family owns a business on Washington street in Hoboken. Been there over 30 years my dad was very close friends with the owner of Clam Broth House. We are there for free A LOT. The sign is still there to this day it’s a part of Hoboken history it won’t be taken down.

I live in Philly and had a driving job for a while and Orange NJ and Newark were two of the worst cities I've ever been too. I barely stopped at stop signs and red lights. Camden is another area you literally ignore all driving laws and just get in and out ASAP.
I lived in Jersey City most of my life, Jersey City has changed, Journal Square and Downtown looks so different with new high rise buildings. It makes me cry seeing the twin towers, I loved seeing the twin towers at the waterfront and Liberty State Park. Those stupid evil terrorists took those 2 beautiful buildings from us.
Those were beautiful buildings saw the lobby recently recently brought back many memories back . I used to take the path trains from Newark many times in the early- mid 80s
our own country attacked us imagine a passport surviving the explosion to be able to identify who committed the act, not trying to be that guy but you need to do your own research that isn't mainstream because they all said the same exact thing and all left out alot of details..
The NJ accents change from North to South to match the cities they border. The North NJ accents are NY-based and the South NJ accents are Philadelphia accents. I was born & raised in South Philly and moved up to north NJ to work in NYC & Jersey City for the last 15 years. Big difference in the NJ accents from South to North.

This was back when cops respected people and were part of the neighborhood and genuinely wanted to help their community. What we have now is militarized police state.
Cops in those days were born and raised and still living in those towns, so they were already brave. Now you have cops born and raised in rich neighborhoods so they quickly reach for their gun once they get scared
Except for the fact that you're completely incorrect and are buying into the media narrative so they can get clicks and ad revenue out of you. Grow up.

90s COPS was a whole other universe! I remember watching an episode were the detective was CLEARLY a coke head stealing dealers cars and stashes!! So entertaining to watch them destroy peoples lives!!!
its not midwest transplants, overall the USA is losing its accents. idk what is causing it maybe its the fact for the last couple decades tv/show/movies tend to pick a midwest neutral accent for its cast and kids learning to speak from tv/video/movie (since parents use devices to babysit) vs the 70/80s which had a lot of nyc cast I watched a lot of tv growing up and people around me have always said I had this odd ny type accent despite spending my youth far away from nyc. which would kind of make sense due to tv in the 80s had lots of nyc cast.

5:15 Cop: " Do you have any money in your wallet?". The other Guy: " No, I only have $90". Dude lol, $90 in the 90s was a lot of money. Is like $500 nowadays.
The worst part about that last one was you just KNOW he beat the shit out of her another time after the cops left. The dude even told her that on the phone when she was right next to a cop, you think he cares?
I remember when they would drive the guy about 5 blocks, talk for a smoke or tow, then let him walk home where he would get angry again but this time kill her. Happened a lot then, misogyny should be a hate crime.
👮🏼♀️👮🏿👮🏻♂️ Best thing about these older episodes… you know most these criminals are still in prison; possibly just getting out after 20+ years. You know some bullsh¡t judge didn’t just catch and release them like they mostly do now.
One thing I've always found weird about this show is how oddly calm the woman on the radio transmission at the end is when she says, "I've got him at gun point." Am I hearing that right? I think she says "132 and Bush. I've got him at gun point." What the hell was she talking about? There's no way she could've been pointing a gun at someone while she was saying that on her radio. I have to be hearing that wrong. What the hell was she really saying?

When the other tenants called the cops to come investigate, they used to pop open beer bottles with their colleague and socialize.

I remember watching it premiere lol
Imagine looking for a gun man at night after a shooting. That takes brass balls.
90s COPS was a whole other universe! I remember watching an episode were the detective was CLEARLY a coke head stealing dealers cars and stashes!! So entertaining to watch them destroy peoples lives!!!
Damn! This aired before my parents got married!!
Fredo stealing paint. Lol😂
this shit is wild to watch living in what jersey city is today
There making jersey sound like philly
*The police were real men back in the '90s!!!!!!*
These are awesome you Need some NYPD videos
I’ll tell what’s truly a relic in this clip, the accents. You don’t hear those distinct NJ/NY accents anymore, too many Midwest transplants
its not midwest transplants, overall the USA is losing its accents. idk what is causing it maybe its the fact for the last couple decades tv/show/movies tend to pick a midwest neutral accent for its cast and kids learning to speak from tv/video/movie (since parents use devices to babysit) vs the 70/80s which had a lot of nyc cast I watched a lot of tv growing up and people around me have always said I had this odd ny type accent despite spending my youth far away from nyc. which would kind of make sense due to tv in the 80s had lots of nyc cast.
@@Dratchev241southern accents still have their staying power, I can’t speak for the Midwest. It’s a sad future if it’s true. so many other languages reflect culture in dialect. it’s a shame American English is losing theirs
5:15 Cop: " Do you have any money in your wallet?".
The other Guy: " No, I only have $90".
Dude lol, $90 in the 90s was a lot of money. Is like $500 nowadays.
not quite that high id guess honestly $90 in 90 would be about $260ish today.
What a perfect intro.
The worst part about that last one was you just KNOW he beat the shit out of her another time after the cops left. The dude even told her that on the phone when she was right next to a cop, you think he cares?
I remember when they would drive the guy about 5 blocks, talk for a smoke or tow, then let him walk home where he would get angry again but this time kill her. Happened a lot then, misogyny should be a hate crime.
@@drampadreg1386 misogyny should be a hate crime? That’s pretty foolish.
Dilbert was right then and is even more right now.
One of the best ones. Also reminds me of a Gta session.
It’s the first of the month lol true then as it is now. God dam spades
McGruff! I almost forgot about him
Back the men, women & dogs in blue.
That Skyline is now long gone.
Get jour hands on thee Kah🤣🤣👌 Yup it's Jersey
I miss that old accent, these days I'm called weird for talking like how i was raised!
Back when cops actually worked and were not afraid and emotionally unstable
wow! red lights on a police car!
👮🏼♀️👮🏿👮🏻♂️ Best thing about these older episodes… you know most these criminals are still in prison; possibly just getting out after 20+ years.
You know some bullsh¡t judge didn’t just catch and release them like they mostly do now.
One thing I've always found weird about this show is how oddly calm the woman on the radio transmission at the end is when she says, "I've got him at gun point." Am I hearing that right? I think she says "132 and Bush. I've got him at gun point." What the hell was she talking about? There's no way she could've been pointing a gun at someone while she was saying that on her radio. I have to be hearing that wrong. What the hell was she really saying?
you can have someone at gun point and call it on radio.. unless the cop only has 1 hand.
@@Dratchev241 Yeah, but the fact that she sounds so oddly calm and nonchalant, that's what's so weird about it.
@@Melissa0774 if it is an every day thing eventually you become nonchalant to it.
i grew up in a clean place this shocks me how bad jersey city is.... im from up town
I was 8 years old and living in Union City at the time
Mechanic St in Orange NJ is where Yaki Kadafi was killed just two months after watching Tupac get killed. he was killed by fellow Outlawz member Napoleons cousin Roddy Beale in the 3rd floor hallway of 325 Mechanic St. RIP Yaki, he was only 19.
these were the last time hudson county would be affordable, it was originally a hub for immigrants and the transient
Thats gold records dvd . Its like nikes todays generations.they kill each other for them.
Crazy how Hoboken had changed 😅
the old world trade centers were present this is a rare one
Not rare. Cops premiered in 89 if i remember. The towers fell in 2001. Many seasons aired between that time
Back when men were men and cops werent afraid to kick ass!
Exactly! They didn’t reach for their guns either. Idk if tasers were even invented but either way they didn’t need them
@@LinkII08Not true, literally around the time frame this was filmed some of the Downtown JC cops murdered a young man for ripping up a ticket for tinted windows. Beat the case in court then years later killed one of the witnesses that testified against them. They finally went down for the second murder but not the first one.
@@n.a.2488 I am not by any means saying JC cops were not crooked. Ironically, I never heard of that case. I know many other similar horror stories where they got away with murder. I had a tenant who was a JC cop and used to beat his wife until the hallways were covered in blood. When the other tenants called the cops to come investigate, they used to pop open beer bottles with their colleague and socialize.
Anybody have the episode of sgt punkett responding to a bad fight at night I believe the bar was called the down under bar? The guy in the bar fight asked a cop for a ride home the cop says no lill lock you up wanna get locked up?I remember that much about the bar fight scene!!!!!!I I don't remember the year I was in 10 th grade In high school!!!!!!
6:42 nobody seen nuthn 🤣 go figure
Spike Lee Movies and McGruff Dog Mascot Come To Neighborhood
In stereo guys!
those pigs were on the dole
who was the uniform officer walking and doing tricks with his night stick? I don't know if I would call that intimidation or what! oh well I am guessing he has long since retired from the department.
7:04 it’s not strange. That’s how the streets be. You don’t protect every victim until they shot at or you get called. Y’all are always called after the crimes already commited
Northern Nueva Jersey bebe!!!
