DirtyCop - No Donut (1999) (VG) In this pseudo-shockumentary, you will see the public's worst nightmare become a reality as a demented "officer of the law" goes over the edge and exacts his own brand of justice on almost everyone he encounters on a ten hour graveyard shift. See him mutilate rapists, annihilate druck drivers, proposition ladies of the evening for sexual favors, and steal a local drug dealer's stash for his own use! And the spiral downward just continues from there, as he encounters vagrants and a domestic dispute that drive him completely out of his drug-clouded mind! Worse yet, there is the uncaring cameraman, who dispassionately and cruelly lenses the events as they unfold without lending a helping hand to any of the unfortunate victims as they are terrorized by this maniac cop! In fact, he seems to get off on all this as much as the cop. DVD-R VHS
