| Plot Summary of The Firestone Syndrome |
|---|
"What happens when cops take the law into their own hands? The Firestone Syndrome reflects what happens when the "police" think they are at war with their commnity. As laws become more lenient and more "perps" are freed by the courts, a group of vigilante cops take them out in brutal slayings. A fellow officer discovers their crimes and stops them - nearly getting killed in the process."
Patrika Vaughn, Resident Scholar
