It's an excelent movie. I have tried for several years to buy on DVD but can't find.

You can buy the book written by Joseph Wambaugh. It's not the same but....

Strange as it is, gregory powells father was my band teacher from 4-8th grade Carlsbad school district CA after this happened. From what I remember back then of what people said; he was always a troubled kid.

The most unfortunate thing is that so little has been learned or corrected from the events of March 1963 in an onion field near Wheeler Ridge. I pick up the papers these days and read of at least four police departments within fifty miles of me that are presently embroiled in scandals, corruption, interdepartmetal fueding, political jockeying, planting of evidence, etc.

Glad my dad steered me away from following in his footsteps.

Ian was right. It's a thankless job.

@spirg Same here and he will (actually did not realize he was terminally ill until I read your comment.) Hell, he does not even want parole now and why would he? No one pays for all of your & my needs including healthcare. Shame these 2 scum both outlived the 2 cops, my father was an LAPD Sgt when this happened & I asked him about this when I saw the movie as a teenager. He said events including LAPDs' terrible treatment of Karl Hettinger were accurate.

The book was great. They should have dropped this prick off a tall building. Let him feel a little terror. All police officers should carry a back up gun. Maybe two.
