Show detail Hide detail

Riot control is the subject of this public affairs program hosted by Warner Troyer. Part 1 examines the new arsenal of weaponry developed in response to "the year of protest" (1967). Stunt performers Mary Lou MacDonald and John Berger demonstrate a slippery substance called "instant banana peel"; a shock baton; aerosol-sprayed mace gas and the latest police shotgun, capable of knocking down a cement wall. Additional footage includes: demonstrations of street-filling foam, a tranquilizer dart gun; a sound device called "the curdler"; a police riot training class in Detroit (United States); and an armoured car used by police during Detroit riots in July. Larry Zolf interviews [Colonel Rhys Appelgate], author of "Kill or Get Killed", about his views on the causes of increasing street riots and the need for these weapons. Troyer considers possible misuse of these devices and briefly notes the interest of Quebec police in the new "apathy gas" during Quebec's "Quiet Revolution". <30mn>
