In context for its time, this was a brilliant piece of recruitment realism. Convincingly acted. Really economical use of film time on the storyboard. At 20:41, I thought the Police car was going to roll over with its crappy freeway trampoline suspension. Scary stuff. Thanks for uploading.
I was born in 1957 entertained being a peace officer for a time in My teens . One of My Uncles worked as a peace officer and prison guard at San Quintin . Previous to becoming a peace officer He and His Younger Brother raced Motorcycles For Harley Davidson in the 1930’s His Brother later established a well know Dealership in Sacramento. After Serving as a battlefield Mechanic and dispatch Rider in the 14th Armored Division during WW2 He was a Juvenile Officer in San Anselmo Ca . Then a Sheriff Deputy , guard and Sacramento P.D. Motorcycle Cop. He and a High School Girlfriends Dad who was a Sergeant in the San Francisco P. D. Influenced that interest. I was also watching Dirty Harry and the news and noticed that Police Officer’s were often second guessed in shooting situation’s and a general disrespect for authority and the uniform were being advocated by subversives and anarchists with hidden nefarious agenda’s , the result being officer’s losing their lives in the line of Duty due to rules of engagement that favor the Bad guys and hamstring the police again with adverse and tragic consequences to Peace Officer’s. I decided that Peace Officer’s might as well sit in a Black Dodger’s Chair at a County Fair waiting to Be Dunked Fatally or figuratively by criminals or those seeking position advancement and popular votes as champions for those who portray themselves as downtrodden to justify their warped sense of entitlement . Entitlement to resist lawful orders and arrest. No I was determined not to be pilloried , incarcerated , undone , “ owned” or killed by scumbags while Politicians seeking votes name streets and holiday’s after freaking reptiles in human form. I can advocate for the death penalty without fear of losing My Job or political blackmail and bullying. As a Kid I cannot recall seeing this Series. Rescue 8 , Sea Hunt , Cannonball , Highway Patrol and many other’s of the time and later Adam -12 but I do not recall this series on S.F. Bay Area Television . I am glad these episodes are made available . Now I have something new to watch. I do not watch Cable or Satellite T.V. Because the new programs alway’s push the LBGTQ and politically correct agenda’s prevalent today. If I wanted to see people twerking on each other like oversexed dogs in public it can be seen live in person on the streets of that filth hole south of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Police unions and the Thin Blue Line mindset being used by the most corrupt cops to poison the rest. That's what happened to principled policing. How much of that grew out of the unending bigotry and injustice of our law enforcement and misnamed "justice" systems is another valid question to ask. When any number of minority groups are consistently treated as sub-human for generations and the wealthy are regularly seen to exploit the law at the expense of the poor, is it any wonder that the people stop trusting and working with the police, rather than working against them in a system that's rigged for most folks to lose? And how much does that pushback contribute to increasingly confrontational policing methods and an overall Us vs. Them mentality on both sides?
Great point! Never see this in 2022.
Good series with excellent stories. Thanks for uploading !

Whatever became of that attitude?
