Doin' Time in Times Square - Documentary early 1980's [View all]

[Miigwech]

This is an historical glimpse of the way police used to treat citizens - like the peace officers that they are supposed to be. Not saying that the world was perfect back then, because it wasn't. This is really boring at times but you can skip around and watch cops performing their jobs without harassing, beating up, shooting .... or even drawing a weapon..... and we are talking about the roughest areas to patrol, Times Square, NYC. Anyone else remember community policing? No, cops were not perfect by any means but Do you remember when the cops didn't try and kill you for something minor as they do today. What the hell is this business of drawing a weapon and shooting before even knowing the situation?
