Law and Order (1969 film)

 * ... that filmmaker Frederick Wiseman spent over 400 hours riding in patrol cars with Kansas City police officers for his 1969 documentary Law and Order? Source: "He spent more than 400 hundred hours, for example, riding around Kansas City in police cars while filming 'Law and Order.'”
 * ALT1:...that Frederick Wiseman intended for his 1969 documentary Law and Order to be a negative look at the police, but as he made the film he came to understand the "fear that cops live with"? Source: “I started it a few weeks after the Democratic convention in Chicago and I saw it as a chance to do in the pigs. But after about two days of riding around in police cars, I realized my little stereotype was far from the truth, at least in Kansas City. The cops did some horrible things but they also did some nice things. We liberals frequently forget that people do terrible violence to each other, against which the police form a minimal and not very successful barrier. I understand now the fear that cops live with."

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Meets the length and age criteria. Written in dispassionate tone, the article has all its paras properly cited. No plagiarism detected. QPQ has been provided. Both the hook facts are interesting, within limit and cited. The ref for the 1st one uses "400 hundred hours". It is clear that this is a mistake and not done intentionally. The second hook appears better since it concerns the alteration in the director's view about the police. Good to Go. --Skr15081997 (talk) 07:03, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
