- This is a picture clip reenactment of Adam 12, LOG 105, Series 3, Episode 8. It commemorates the life and death of a slain L.A.P.D. officer. It is Officer Pete Malloy's first partner named Officer Tom Porter. It's not just a recounting of his achievements as a policeman, but a look at his life &and family, and the meaning of his loss to his friends and to the community. The song i chose in the background is "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother by The Hollies. The song was released in 1969 but became a hit in 1970.
Still one of the most powerful episodes from Adam 12 .from childhood into adulthood. I'm still moved by this episode. God bless all of the Police officers we've lost in the line of duty. I salute you 🙌🙏
Yup this one touches me more than almost all the episodes that but it makes a great poin
My God...this just has me in collapse. I've many good friends on the job, I served in 'Nam as a Marine, & today count myself so fortunate to be 'on the green side"......& it's Christmas Eve.
I love this episode from Adam-12 it's really heartbreaking
me too. i've been able to watch episodes at archive.org/details/adam-12-season-1/Adam12+S01E04+(Reed%2C+the+Dicks+Have+Their+Job+and+We+Have+Ours).mp4
Rest In Peace Mr Mark Goddard, he passed away October 10, 2023
I wasn’t aware that passed on. He died on my Mom’s birthday! Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
May his soul R.I.P 🙏 Thanks for the memories on Lost in Space.
This has to be the saddest fictional 📺 episode of all time. I know how it ends, and I still 😢 every time.
i totally agree.
As a member of the NYPD back on the 60’s and 70’s I had occasion
to attend many, many police funerals during that time. As I stood
outside the churches as the caskets were being brought out along with
….thousands of my brother officers…I would ask myself…..why them,
and not me. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one….who felt like that.
God bless and watch over them all…….R.I.P.
You were NYPD back in the day! Cool! Yes...i can see you and the other officers saying that to themselves...a solemn thought for sure! Yes..GOD's angels guard them in the line of duty.
@@henryathurmanjr Is the full episode available on youtube or elsewhere online? I have not been able to find it although many other Adam 12 full episodes are available.
@@scottlilley3077 i had to buy Season 3…i think it was…to get it. It was on backorder too. This was some time ago now.
This is outstanding. Thank you.
Thank you. i made a better one with clips from the episode relating to each picture but youtube wouldn't let me put it on.
@@henryathurmanjr, that’s too bad. If it was better than this one, I bet it was incredible.
Awesome...What a song to send a Fellow "Brother in Arms" off too....Thank you...
SUPPORT THE THIN BLUE LINE
You’re welcome.
🇺🇸❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸God Bless You
God bless all law enforcement officers
Amen.
Great show 2 favorite episodes missing when Malloy crashed his patrol car in Griffith Park and this one here.
I remember the night this came on, it was riveting, I can still hear that woman's fearful crying, "Elegy elegy."
@@GK-rw2op I think I remember noticing that at the end too it must have been something they spun beforehand as they explained it’s semi-documentary purpose. It was heart rending and I remember being confused by its usage after I looked it up I suppose you could explain the idea of language rent for sound and context to explain it to a grammar school teacher.
I met mark Goddard on de back in 2010. I told him it was my favorite episode of Adam 12
Very cool! I believe it is my favorite episode too!
No commercials for 30m on episode.
Nice video clip! How about showing the entire episode of the program not just bits and pieces! That will show what happens when a police officer puts his or her life to make the ultimate sacrifice. To save the public by giving up Thiers!
i tried to implement clips from each scene according to each picture i had and made it better but they wouldn't let me post it.
@@henryathurmanjr Now that is a dirty shame but it's the sign of the times now! Thanks for trying!
Not much has changed. The ending narration is still true. No one puts lays a plague, builds a statue, or marches in protest over the murder of a police officer, just criminals dying comminting crimes.
I suspect this was probably the pilot episode because not only was the opening and ending credits different there is a plot error in the episode. Pete' Malloy's narration has him and Jim Reed both single with Tom Porter as the only married officer. In fact Jim Reed was married and his wife was pregnant in the first episode of the series.
Sad but true. This episode was from Series 3, Episode 8…but it makes the most sense being the pilot.
The crime of what,Staurt,being born a black man?
Actually it could have been the pilot episode. Remember episode 1 where we meet Malloy and Reed, Malloy was working his last shift, as his partner had been killed in the line of duty. It would actually make more sense for it to have been Tom Porter killed than another officer. But the flashbacks with Reed in them make it problematic at best.
Was the best worst one of all cried during the whole episode
It truly was s sad episode.
I think a better title would have been all in the line of duty....
Never liked a policeman being called a pig.They should have used policeman ,police officer,.Pig sounds demeaning..The person who came up with this title must not like the police
Me neither! I think Jack Webb used it is to make people feel bad for using it.
Hate the police? Quite the contrary. The use of the word “pig” (as a pejorative for the police) in the title is an example of the literary device of irony. Its purpose is to remind the enemies of Western Civilization (the leftists) that the police officer who dies in the line of duty does so in an effort to protect the citizenry from the criminal element. A fact unappreciated by the useless members of our society (the leftists).
God bless all our first responders.
@@henryathurmanjr That title was used because it was making reference to how many people felt about the police in the 1970's and the lack of respect many people had for them yet they were human beings with family and friends. The narrative towards the end of the show in the funeral scene really explains it all..... "And strangely enough, in view of current custom, no one will raise a placard to denounce his senseless murder. No one will raise indignant cries of protest at the shedding of his blood. No one will march in anger because of his death.".....In my opinion the title is perfect for the story being told.
Maybe he was brutalized by the police!
Maybe he was beaten by police,Nathan!
