Montreal Noir: Station 10

There's a lot of talk, and useful venting, about police and policing this month. Just heard the Brooklyn Borough President (and former cop) talking on NPR about being beaten and kicked by cops when he was a young African-American guy.
Many thanks to Coolopolis for the heads-up on Station 10, director Michael Scott's remarkable National Film Board insider documentary on the cops at Station 10, Montreal's tough downtown precinct. It was filmed in 1971 so it is also a vivid portrait of that era. Stoned Israeli hippies, a sick lion, cops hassling blacks, a horrifying biker gang rape scene....the Naked City, vraiment. This is Montreal before Cirque de Soleil.
