137 Shots

To the city of Cleveland these officers are. Just a bunch of bumbling idiots who end up murdering 2 innocent people. Brelo lies in his interview with police because he is scared as he knows he did wrong. He should be incarcerated for life for his actions. All these men and women will eventually pay for the taking of human life. Murder. Not self defense. Lasso is a laughing stock going to schools. What a joke. This documentary made me sick and so sad for the families of the slain victims.

I remember hearing about this on Fox 8 and this documentary is only telling one side of the story of what really happened. The Cleveland Police did their job. Great shots of Cleveland. Sorry this is not worth watching if the whole truth isn't going to be told. Yes i am from and live in Cleveland and we have a really good Police Force.

Upfront - I am Australian.

Yes, this documentary was largely one sided but any discerning person can tell that the police's behaviour during the various incidents, and in their subsequent interviews and court appearances was deplorable.

But, in their defence ...

If America had sensible gun control laws like the rest of the first world countries, the police probably would behave differently and often would not be put in these situations to start with.

So whilst the documentary is mainly trying to blame the police for the specific incidents described a broader perspective, which was not considered in the documentary, could assign blame to American society as a whole.

If these Cops were in the military (...and I'm a 20yr vet) they'd have been charged with war crimes.

An clear case of shoot-first-ask-questions-later, over a perceived, and by no means confirmed, threat.

Sickening, but important, to watch.

One hundred and thirty seven shots? Seriously 😡

I know that there is nothing anyone can say to Tamire Rices mother to besiege her anger or Sadness. A mistake is a mistake, sometimes mistakes come with dire consequences. Accountability is a TWO SIDED STREET. Now, I've never had any love for cops or police departments, I spent years as a career criminal and outlaw biker. But I also always recognized my own accountability in the actions I took ESPECIALLY when it came to incarceration. Police had a job to do, get me off the streets.. I tried to avoid getting caught.. There were bad cops, certainly there were. Dirty cops were Bad Cops. But then I had. Choices... if I jumped out of a car with a gun, I would EXPECT to be fired upon. If I had a car chase I would EXPECT a bad outcome. I remained ACCOUNTABLE for my actions. If I don't want to get shot by an over zealous cop I WILL COMPLY. If I had a weapon I told them I had it and I kept my fingered interlocked on my head. And certainly things still may happen, If you don't want to get shot don't force the cop to make that choice. I don't know if they will be AS ACCOUNTABLE as I am, but if you watch what's going on in the world right now it's a complete LACK OF COMMON SENSE if you think that attacking a cop will have a positive outcome. If you're being questioned and you want to be belligerent.. THERES AN OUTCOME to that behaviour.

Criminals.. BE ACCOUNTABLE.., COPS be ACCOUNTABLE and if you have a choice to comply or attack UNDERSTAND that it has CONSEQUENCES.
