Even though my gramps & pop were cops all their lives, I only became a cop w/34 years 35 on September 30 of this year, but I wanted to be a cop just like Joseph Waumbach, the LAPD cop who wrote these, I actually saw him on a training in 1983 in LA . I watched every show when it started in the 70's, and I actually met Mr Waumbach, and shook his hand in 1983 . All my brothers & cousins also became cops.

Only a few years after the Stonewall riot (a RIOT shouldn't be held up as a proud moment for any just cause), this episode was exploring the concept of treating homosexuals as people, and as deserving of justice as anyone else. Things were changing for the better in 1973.

Thanks for uploading this classic from 1973. It was powerful! Even though the one detective (McGavin) was modern in his thinking everytime that partner said "F*g" or those "F*gs" I cringed! Did people really talk that atrociously about LGBT people back then? I ask because I was only 5 when this episode and when I grew up in the 80's I heard the word thrown around here and there but more as a general insult in high school. Usually it was to cast aspersion on the perceived masculinity of one student against the other. I never heard a grown up throwing that word around like the cop does in this episode. I'm glad things have changed. I don't think I've heard anyone use the F-word in over 20 years now! :)

Anyway you slice it, it's a slur, whether used for it's original coining of a homosexual man (Brits can argue differently, of course, with the whole cigarette connection) or whether it was used later on as a more general, not necessarily anti-gay insult. It's not good in any form, and I don't defend it's use or condone it whatsoever, but there were definitely levels of severity when it came to the the word 'faggot' or 'fag'. Now, ironically, the most I hear that word is when it comes out the mouth of one of my gay male friends (I'm straight, although sexual orientation shouldn't matter in my opinion). Things have definitely changed, and this episode is quite overlooked when it comes to breakthrough television episodes of the past. Think of it, 'All In The Family' tackled so many controversial topics, including homosexuality, but this episode of 'Police Story' came before that amazing series.
