Reviews
The Fuzz
At a time when relations between Black kids and the police were none too good, this story was quite interesting and timely. Here, the gang meets Parker, a loudmouth who loves to insult cops. However, the gang sees the error of Parker's ways and learn not to "mess with the man." Quite a bold statement to make in 1975.
