Police Story: The Watch Commander 1988 

No ads, I love it!!!

Thanks for posting Excellent Television 👍📺📺

I love these Police Story movies, especially this one. It shows cops are human with flaws, faults and weaknesses like us. They're not heroes, but sometimes perform heroic acts.

Also the best movie and story about Police,, like to watching 👍👍

Jack Warden was as good an actor as you could get......very versatile in the many parts he played.

Jack Warden always gives a great performance. My favorite of his is Crazy Like A Fox.

so many great character actors in this one

That Tackleberry from Police Academy

Fantastic movie. Thanks.

Really good characters , lots of action ! ❤👍

The cop whose bullets were confiscated was the actor that played Tackleberry in Police Academy,Tackleberry must have joined LAPD

Can't believe these guys go into a hot situation without wearing a flak jacket. I guess it was like that back then.

That’s Benny from Total Recall. I’ve got 5 kids to feed!!

That was great!!!

Tackaberry's up to it again!

8:18 Tackleberry carrying unauthorized ammo.

I totally forgot about Rosanne Katon I thought she was so hot when I was a kid first movie, I saw her in was Motel hell. This movie was great they really dont make things like this anymore.

This was a remake of the original police story.triggerpoint with david jannsan

David died very young of a heart attack

Its true find the balance or this career will destroy you. I made some really stupid mistakes within the last month that were all because im not balancing life and career

Nice take step back time with the LAPD. Back then I had 7 yrs on the job in 77 divs

at the 6;55 mark, when the guy comes through the door, the guy sitting right by the door is tackleberry from police academy I do think.

Good movie.

Jack Warden was good in Presidio with Mark Harmon and with Al Pacino in And Justice For All.

This episode was made some years before Police Academy was made.

Rock hard

This episode1973

Don't like to see him handle the horse that way . . Not watching this. Goodbye

What's tod gakkkk doing there 😂

Por favor en español gracias

Yeah but tackleberry would not beat a guy half to death

Michelob… the WORST beer on earth! anahhaha

1988 is the year I entered law enforcement. Reagan was president. 28 year, 2 months, and 22 days is what I worked. Folks this is a drama--the police work aspects are crap really with the finger in the trigger well Charlie's Angels pointed towards the sky, or when he turned his back on the violator vehicle while returning to his police car after writing the ticket. The largest aspect of disbelief is the lack of union involvement and number of POBR (AB301) violations. Most of what you saw, workplace wise, is absolute fiction. For example, if you yell at a police lieutenant while telling them you aren't going to a psych appointment you would be relieved of duty and probably would get terminated for insubordination. At the very least you aren't working again until the doctor clears you and if they talk to the doctor you might never get cleared--or psychologically retired medically either. You'll end up in workers compensation limbo until July 1st. when the new fiscal year starts and they figure out T/O. The cops in 1988, the folks that trained me, created the Rodney King era of policing. We asked you once, told you the second time then made you do it. We didn't molly-coddle anyone and by todays standards use of force was much, much higher. A 40 year old cop in 88 was likely a Vietnam Vet, an early boomer or late silent generation (parents went to segregated schools). Those men were simple and complicated at the same time. After Rodney King stress retirements became easier and many of them left. By 1998 policing had completely changed and was relatively stable. The great recession hit (2008-2011) and by the time I retired at the beginning of 2017 I saw the same faces that were exorcised post-King.

In reality, after the scene where the lieutenant jumps on the Sergeant, the lieutenant and other management would gang up on him. He would go to a place he worked at for 40 years and would start to question his abilities because of the constant management bullying If he calls a lawyer they'll basically tell him "they never said they were treating you this way because of your age so you have no case." If he was black they would say "they never called you the N word and even if they did you can't prove it was done to intentionally inflict pain." (that's what a lawyer told me). If you're a woman you might get a settlement but you aren't getting Gretchen Carlson money..

Nice story. Everybody's an asshole or nuts.

This looks like a American series about cops that only lasted on the domestic tv circuit expect a lot racist/sexist stereo types.

Slow and uneventful
