    Brink's trucks served as armored cars for officers to protect from sniper fire.

    White helmets and batons were ofter spray painted black by officers so they wouldn't stick out so much to snipers. Note the shotgun sticking out of the ambulance window in the background.

    The city goes up in smoke as officers battle rioters.

    Exhausted officers slept outside due to the heat inside of the Command Post.

    Roadblocks by both police and National Guard troops were set up throughout the city in an attempt to control the disorder.

    Detroit Police 1975 and 1976 Plymouth Gran Furys.

  3. I wonder if FHP purchased that Datsun or it was a seized vehicle like the Mustang the NYPD had in the 1990's.

     

    @Sergiyj, is the last picture with the Maine State Police Chevy from some movie or something?

    Michigan State Police Plymouth Furys in a motor vehicle accident scene, sometime during the 1980's. I couldn't find the actual description behind it.

    Navajo Reserve (AZ) Police Chevrolet Impala, 1985. :drool:

  4. For the record, I like the styling of that generation of LTD.  The early 70s design had a cooler, more distinctive look IMO.

    Not really sure but I believe that the SFPD used them - or at least every seventies movie set there features them -. With the black and white paint job they must look great.

     

    I came across with my platonic love the other day, wish the owner let me take it for a drive.

  5. It was a flop for Ford, it sold so poorly that it was dropped after 3 model years. By the late 70's their was no market for gigantic sedans. Dodge/Chevy had already stopped offering the full-size Impala and Monaco at this time, leaving the LTD as a lame duck. Doesn't helped it looked so damn ugly.

    Edit: Hmm, just saw your signature... Im dumb

    Indeed, when everyone else had begun to shrink their products (mention to GM B bodies as direct full size equivalent), Ford kept producing land yatch almost into the 1980’s. Basically they were late for the downsize party, just take a look at the T-bird.

    GM on the other side did a real good job with the resized Impala/Caprice, either aesthetic and mechanically.

    And still on the downsize subject, I came across this picture which is not really related to police stuff but found it worth to be posted either way. New Chevrolet meets Old Cadillac circa 1977 in Medford, Mass.

  6. So the law is telling "Let people die of starvation"?

     

    The human kind stupidity will never stop to amaze me.

     

    You know, because homeless people are visual pollution, they are smelly and simply lazy people who refuse to work and instead prefer to live off the Government and hard working citizens. They should have started their own business with the change their were given, like that guy did with 1 dollar, and live the dream but they prefered to keep living between some boxes.

     

    I love when Governments don't give a fuck about their own people.

    Interesting one. That's a Connecticut State Police cruiser, correct? The next one is a picture of the Connecticut State Police during a raid in a Hells Angels club in Bridgeport in May 1985.

    Can someone tell me if the NYPD auxiliary actuallty owned this or did someone on LCPDFR just make this up?

    med_gallery_14186_338_992982.png

     

    Those were actualy units. I made the texture after some video FCV96 showed me of one of those in action.

  8. On the third pic the background vehicle lacks lights and siren. Serves as a transport for traffic police volunteers. All cars on the pics belong to the police force aka militia, and all but three - to the Road police dept (GAI).

     

    Till 1968 there was no unified color scheme or beacon regulation, however the most commonly used was blue-with-a-red-stripe. Some were using a single light bulb, some installed red-and-blue lights. After that a yellow-and-blue livery was established, but again there were differences among the country. Cars turned grey and subsequently white during 80's (no reliable info on the exact date), and in 90's it was all sorted out: red and blue beacons were assigned exclusively for road police and white-and-blue became the main painting scheme. 

     

     

    Thanks for the info, Hastings!

    From this guy's Flickr gallery which has some quite awesome and gritty shots of classics and which is worth taking a look at.

  9. @strike: the first photo will be my new wallpaper :teehee:

    @FCV96: that radio, Motorola MX300 series to be precise, is considered to be the most reliable, practically indestructible handheld radio ever made.Thanks to it's mass and metal cover you could physically neutralize like 50 people with it and dispatch the info to the station without problems :tongue:

    Hahaha well it looks certainly solid, kind of like the Nokia 3310 of the police radios I guess. Do you guys know when were portable radios began to be used in law enforcement?
