Leroy (Shaft)

Bryon Lebowitz was a corrupt NYPD boss in the 1971 movie Shaft.

He was played by Joseph Leon.

His villainary is in the beginning of the movie. John got into a fight with one of Bumpy's men, who were threatening him. Later on Lebowitz tries to frame the violence on John, when it wasn't his fault at all. He makes many threats, including personally throwing John in jail without due process, when this is 1971, when Miranda rights are always in place. He's a crooked scumbag who will do anything to enforce his way, no matter how unfair he is.
