Your mention of Chips Rafferty, Easo, brought to mind another film he starred in and that is 'Smiley Gets a Gun'. When the film was made (1958) It didn't seem in any way extraordinary that a policeman would present a firearm to a teenager as a reward for doing good deeds.
My, we've come a long way since then.
