That was very nice what the Sheriff did for that guy. Most people (civilians or otherwise) probably wouldn't do that. Not bc they are jerks but bc of fear of their safety
In the film, Tease acted like a d!ck from the get go. Should he have offered to buy Rambo dinner and pay for him to stay in a hotel?? No not unless he wanted to.
But there was NO reason for Teasle to insult Rambo right off the bat then tell him he couldn't eat in town and then drive him to the city limits just to get rid of him.

Officers today would not do what Teasle did no matter how small or big community is.
Oh really?

We're lead to believe/assume Teasle knows Rambo is a Vietnam Veteran based on the uniform Jacket he's wearing but what about the prejudice shown on the part of Teasle?
I don't think you can assume Rambo to be a veteran based on his jacket. You could buy such garments at any Army/Navy store, tag sale, second hand store, etc., and a lot of guys did.
If Rambo had a military style hair cut and didn't smell, or even referred to Teasle as "sir" as veterans are want to do, then Teasle may not have hassled him (and none of that is any kind of defense of Teasle's actions, just an observation). Other than the dirty jacket, nothing else about Rambo's appearance or actions seemed military at all.

Rambo should have told Teasle the truththat he went to visit an old friend and learned he had died. Not that he wasn't doing anything therehad he told the sheriff he had business in town the sheriff wouldnt have been so hard on him. I don't blame Him for helping rambo move out of townhe doesn't want a drifter jn the town, he could rob houses or rape a woman..who knows it's fkd up that h3s like that, but he tells rambo.up front what the deal.isI feel they were both wrong though

That copper had to right to stop a pedestrian that was walking thru his stupid town! Being a tough guy got it all blown up; and for what? To stop a war veteran from getting something to eat!

Being homeless or a drifter is not illegal either though, some guys could have been fired or laid off from a job and not able to find work or employment, then the rent at their house or apartment is due and they dont have enough money to pay for it, they get kicked out and become homeless, begging or wandering around on the street, frequently they will travel to other towns and cities because there might be work there or better circumstances, a person in such a situation would not be a criminal but just a down his luck homeless bum or drifter.
So Teasle was wrong, Rambo was not doing anything wrong, Rambos best bet would have been to go to the next town and report Teasle to the state police and file a complaint against him and his police department for forcing Rambo to leave town, Vagrancy is actually a financial problem and state, not a criminal offense, homeless people are not all drug addicts, most are just people that have been fired and evicted from their homes.
You couldnt tell if Rambo was a veteran based on his appearance, a lot of ex military people grow their hair out and look sloppy, look at bikers, a lot of them are scruffy looking and have long hair and have been in the Army and Marines in their youth, Rambo could have told Teasle that he was ex Army but he probably didnt want to discuss his past with anyone, so he doesnt bring it up, a homeless guy isnt going to have the time or money to shave and maintain a short haircut, so he has long hair and smells bad, Teasle was an idiot for bringing that up to an obvious homeless guy. -

I read the book before the movie came out. It's quite a bit different in spots but similar overall. I know longer have the book.
I can't recall the initial Teasle-Rambo interaction from the book, but I'm thinking it was similar.
In the book it all takes place in Kentucky.
Both the book and the movie are good. Many more body bags in the book though. -

Anyone who hasn't read the book but is interested, do not read my post.
It isn't. In the book after Rambo comes back into town a second time he goes to a diner and orders food. Just as he is doing this, Teasle walks in having been informed by his deputies he had come back into town. He goes ahead and lets Rambo get his food and drink. Then gives him a ride back outside of town. He tells him not to come back again. But of course Rambo did.
Point being unlike movie Teasle, he was kind enough to let him get food in town unlike the bigot in the movie. Also unlike the bigot in the movie, after finding out he's a veteran he thinks he would've treated Rambo differently if he had known. Also unlike movie Teasle, he ends up listening to Trautman about Rambo and ends up regretting how he treated Rambo. Even at the very end after Rambo has killed everyone close to Teasle, Teasle ends up letting go of his hatred. Here's the very last few lines of the book.
"He thought about Anna again but she still did not interest him. He thought about the house he had made up in the hills and all the cats there. But none of that interested him either. He thought about the kid and flooded with love for him. And just before the shell completed its arch to the ground, he relaxed, accepted peacefully, and was dead."
That is nothing like movie Teasle who dismisses everything Trautman says and in the end would rather be blown away by a machine gun than to admit to any wrong doing.
