The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - How can I get a copy of the FBI video "Firefight," based on the Miami shootout?

I have always wanted to learn more about this incident, which I feel is just as dramatic and historically significant as the shootout at the OK Corral. I have read just about everything thing I can find on it, including the materials available on the FBI homepage and Dr. French Anderson's forensic analysis.

I have always wanted to see the video reenactment produced by the FBI entitled "Firefight." I understand it is widely distributed to law enforcement for training.
I made a request for a copy under the Freedom of Information Act, but I am pessimistic about my chances of getting one in this lifetime. If it was published by the fed. gov't, it isn't supposed to be copyrighted, so reproduction shouldn't be a problem.

If anyone knows where I can get a copy, please let me know.

Thanks.
