Observation Day 3

During today's observation of the Cops 2.0 IRC Chat, I noticed there were a lot more users logged on. This increase of users meant that there was an increase of spam. All of the chat was absolute nonsense, but some related to the episode. During one of the segments on television show, there was a civilian being arrested for a domestic violence charge. He started crying when the Police Officer slapped him with cuffs. When this happened alot of the nonsense spam stopped and began relating to what was shown on television. The users were laughing at how he was crying and called him a cry baby. I was actually laughing out loud to the things they were saying. One user, Kingzzsj, said "This kid sucks, go cry to mommy." Other users responded with similar comments like "Yea what a baby, feed him a bottle." This actually was the first viewing where people talked about the actual show and Police work.
