Youth are too occupied protesting, rioting & looting to view any propaganda films made by the very folk who are the objects of their revolt.
Thanks to the orifices of diversity & inclusion, watch future police chiefs be Black Lesbians.
Pass me that leftover pastrami sandwich whilst I comb my hair.

Ever notice in 70s films/TV shows, whenever they cut to the police precinct, the police chiefs always look so unhealthy? There is a perpetual haze of cigarette smoke in the air, and the police chief is fat, has a combover, and is always eating a pastrami sandwich.
A compilation of these scenes could make a very persuasive propaganda film to discourage youth from pursuing careers in law enforcement.
That description fits the chief of police in Peter Hyams' Busting.
But not the chief of police in Don Siegel's Dirty Harry which is very slim and clean—played by John Larch.

Then there was Dan Frazer as captain frank mcneil in Kojak - who was world-weary, tired n near retirement rather than overweight.

373 is a cracker. As is serpico, new centurions, choirboys, laughing pilceman, pelham, and all those fab early 70s thrillers.

Dana Elcar in BUDDY BUDDY. Although this Billy Wilder black comedy is from 1981, its hippie and sex clinic jokes make this seem more like something from 1971. Elcar is the classic harried and overweight figure in charge, constantly reprimanding and complaining at his officers, and, get this, his name is Captain Hubris.
