Police Chief Joe Peters: Lawman as Strongman – Iron Game History – April 1992

As a boy who dreamed of kicking some retributive sand into malefactors’ faces along the beaches of my personal underworld, I used to thrill when (using only their might and main) real, live lawmen brought down evil-doers. For instance, none of Louis Cyr’s great strength feats moved me as much as the legendary stories as to how he single-handedly cleaned up Montreal’s tough Sainte-Cunigonde District during his service as a magistrate in that city’s police department. I thought it was grand when he collared one bad egg and then grabbed another in his mighty paw, using the two combined heads as battering rams against their whole thuggish rout of trouble-making accomplices.
