Now all we need is a current day police car and some officers and we can do "gang riot in the inner city 202x" dioramas. These guys are only arabs because the box says so.

Ant miniatures do some FSB figures that look like the current western tactical officers, just swap the am for an m4, since American police seem to have a toured humvees and Mrap you could use one of them.

Forget the ANT FSB figures and use Airborne Miniatures SEAL DEVGRU figures, more Western tactical operator look/ kit. Live resin Ops Core helmets for variations.......

With police officers I was thinking more along the "T.J. Hooker" or "Dirk Mattes" lines, not SWAT and SEK. But thanks for the ideas/companies

Jason good call on airborne miniatures I had forgot about them. I think the days of a tj hooker style copper going to a serious firearms event are long gone apart from at the very start

All good mate, old TJ Hooker...now there's a classic Police show!

WHAAAAAT! And next you tell me Cobra 11 is not a documentary Actually I was thinking about the "classic" hollywood (or action concept in germany) movies/series where the "classic beatcop" arrives at such a scene and ends up, to loosely quote SI10s Sgt. Makepeace "Slightly outgunned and maybe a tad outnumbered but otherwise fine. Except for when that Yankee cowboy you saddled me with decided on going of on a walk" (At least he was not ordering a tank from a weapons dealer)

That shows German police are hard as nails, the old show where great a cop with a 38 6 shot going against bank robbers with shotguns and m16's and winning

The late 70s and the 80s had a number of great "cop shows". From CI5 to TJ Hooker and Hunter to Dempsey and Makepeace or Mike Hammer (and the Tatort or Grossstadtrevier in Germany) and quite a few more. They had a different feel than todays shows, a bit more "black and white" with some light humor in it. And yes, the heros always carried the day (Well, Stacy Sheridan and DeeDee McCall helped the ratings as well )
