"Dragnet": The Two Times Joe Friday Had To Shoot To Kill (video)




In both decades of "Dragnet", Joe Friday (Jack Webb) only had to shoot to kill twice.

("The Big Thief", 1953)
("The Shooting Board", 1967) 


The first time he was forced to kill an armed suspect, it hit Friday hard.
He was wracked with guilt and regret afterward.

The second time occurred when Friday interrupted a robbery in progress.

This time, Friday's main concern was clearing his name...
...after his story was called into question.
