"skytain" WTF !?
It's called an "El" which means Elevated Train.
As for the cop in uniform that gets shot, he is just some nameless actor.

Skyrain is the wrong term. Very wrong. The Skytrain is a monorail.
NYC subways or elevated trains run on real guaged track either underground(60 percent, while the rest run above ground or elevated, thus that why the nickname "el".

Dont forget the producers insisted on using the newest and cleanest subway trains at the time and the cars that were the cleanest and newest operated on the N line. So although the chase took place under the B line (today its the D) the cars were from the N line.

The R42 original systle before the MTA began to rebuilt the R42 in 1988. The R42 were rebuilt between 1988 and 1989. So some R42 were rebuilt in 1988 and some in 1989. The R42are different today. Some R42 have retried. all remaing R42 will run on the A,C,E,f and R only to repalce the remaing R32s and all R38s in 2009. The R42 are already running on the A,E. Thhe R42 has one more year to be on the J/Z lines to stay and then the R160 will takeover the J/Z lines and R42 moves to those routes to run

Any use of a gun is deadly force, weather you are "trying to wing" someone or kill them. Besides, police arn't trained to "wing" suspects, they are trained to use guns to stop suspects from causing death or serious bodily harm.
Granted, in real life, Popeye might have gotten away with what he did, because the laws for police use of deadly force in 1971 were a lot less well defined then they are now. But under modern standards, the shooting would be considered unjustified.
