There are avenues left to explore when it comes to policing in America, but this documentary fails to find any of them.
Instead of, as they say in the intro, encouraging the viewer to question policing, the documentary tries to tell you exactly what you should believe about policing, what policing is, and it's all the same points you hear parroted online (police are slave patrol descendants, policing is unfair so you shouldn't obey, etc.). It's a film that stokes racial adversity rather than offering the fair analysis of policing that it claims in the intro.
If you've ever gone down a twitter thread about race and policing, then you've already seen everything this film has to offer.
