I would add the local news to that list, including remote feeds from the
field. The exception might be the newsie 'copters because of
transmission limitation.

I can't imagine anything more exciting than the weekly LA freeway chase
in vivid HiDef. (just kidding ;-)

KABC has a chopper with HD. I happened to be flipping channels when they
were covering a chase, and the picture looked pretty good. Right up until
the driver jumped out, pulled a gun, and ran towards a restaurant full of
bystanders. KABC zoomed out quickly, but not until after I saw a man shot
and killed on live TV.

The shooting was justified, but I didn't need to see it, much less in HD.

I am in the Los Angeles market (just barely) so my cable company carries KABC
in high-def. I never watch it though. ;-)

You didn't "need" to see the killing? Maybe then you didn't "need" to be
watching a live police chase. IMO, anyone watching live police action has
signed a virtual disclaimer stating that they will not bitch about any
violence they happen to see.

That having been said, I do think that there are some things shown on TV
that NObody "needs" to see. They are personally and socially destructive
and, if I were dictator, I would not allow them. But cops shooting perps,
IMO, is GOOD for us to see. Including kids. Especially kids.

First of all, what does HD have to do with. Is the effect of the
shooting really any different in SD vs HD? Of course not.

Secondly, it's real life. Violence is everywhere. Do you want to ignore
it and pretend it doesn't exists? And if you're afraid of seeing
violence, why didn't you immediately turn off the show when you saw it
was a police chase? Don't you know that those chases don't always end
with bliss and flowers being thrown by beautiful girls?

Now that's reality tv!! Dead perps like that are a good thing. And
what, you had no idea it might end unpleasantly for the scumbag.

In response to hac:
On the few occasions,I have watched police chases from a live view
feed,I do not get any voyeuristic thrill from it.Although I have yet to
view a fatal outcome myself from such coverage,if indeed one were to
occur and I happened to view it,I would get extreme satisfaction that
this is one idiot I as a taxpayer,will not have to provide a trial and
incarceration.If deadly force is needed,generally these perpetrators get
what they deserve.I,for one would not be crying because of their demise
trying to escape or commit criminal activity.A death in these
circumstances means this guy can no longer be a criminal statistic in
the future.Once gone,good riddance.
