To Kill a Cop (1978) - Imprint Television #28

Worldwide first on Blu-ray!

Dive into the world of policing in the 70s with To Kill a Cop, an epic three-hour two-part telemovie event starring Joe Don Baker (Cape Fear).

Earl Eischied is a man with his hands full. As the Chief of Detectives in New York City, he is trying to break up a group of black militants that are on a crime spree, including the killing of a police officer. He is also trying to battle with both a mayor and police commissioner who want him out of his job.

Directed by Gary Nelson (Noble House) and adapted from the book by former NYPD Deputy Police Commissioner Robert Daley, this is a brutally realistic depiction of injustice and corruption that later inspired the short-lived TV series Eischied.
