They didnt fall, they all made millions and now live an easy life playing for fun

[@shizuokaBLUES]

There was a fall? They called it quits at the top.

[@ukok8177]

The police rose and ruled the world but never fell, but moved on while at the top of the world because of their unique music❤

[@peterjonas4971]

Ghost in the Machine came out in October, 1981. There's no way it was topping any chart in January, 1981.

Fall? They checked out on top.

[@EM-yk1dw]

They made it to the top and quit at the top too.

[@thesmanbrowne4561]

Fall? The went at the top!

[@getit9066]

Sting without Copeland and Summers is like a neutered, toothless German Shepherd. At least girls like that music.

[@jbeleni]

Fall?!

[@thedonbishop55]

Sometimes I rise… 🙃

[@perrynnlynch1883]

Most bands dream of having their success. They quit while at the very top. Respectfully of course.

[@electroborg]

The world's biggest band - after Boney M.

[@Anglo_Saxon1]

By de rivers of babylon ye man blood clot.

Ugh, ripped off video that's vague on some details and just wrong in some assumptions. Better off getting the story from the band members directly, in particular Stewart Copeland's interview with Rick Beato. So much better than this turd of a production.

[@mrsasshole]

One of the only bands to go out on top. No fall there.

[@kmm2442]

It’s so stupid. They wanted to do other projects. So what. Gosh so stupid.

[@podfuk]

Sure Sting was main song writer, but without Coplands drumming and Summers genious guitar playing it would not be Police. Just listen to Stings versions of Police songs, it just doesnt sound right.
