Authority is a funny thing. Law enforcement does seem like a really hard job. Got some time to waste. Go watch a few hours of Cops. This is more of a sensationalized version and not a completely accurate portrayal of life in the field. I know people who’ve been in the military & policing roles and their take is that Reno 911 is much closer to real life.

It’s harder to get a bank loan then a gun. It’s easier to become a police officer then a nurse. So you are going get some unbalanced people slip through the cracks, get their badge, gun and a contact number to somebody in the police union. You might even get some kind of maniac to do the job. So a film from over three decades ago reflects the feelings of many United States citizens today.

But lets remember that Maniac Cop is a movie. And an amazing schlock fest at that with experts like Bruce Campbell and Tom Atkins involved. Creepy and crazy, its worthy of your high time to sit down and watch. Stay tuned since everything in the world is being remade (blame nostalgia) and it appears this is on the docket as well.
