The stories are interesting, but the presenters/writers insist on placing moral judgements on policing methods into the 1980s as if they should have known then what we know now. It's ridiculous and ruins the show.Yes, it lead to some tragic consequences, but the people who lived at the time had no idea what those consequences would be *in the future*. There are critical decisions being made right now that will cause misery and tragedy far into the future and no one can accurately know what they will be. No one is psychic. The agents of law enforcement generally (with a few exceptions for corruption) do their best with what they have then and now.
