    Prejudicial nonsense!

    Without a doubt, THE most blatantly partisan so-called "documentary" ever set to film! Jason Pollack's name should be shunned forever aa "documentary film maker! It is clear as clear can be that Michael Brown's "history" made quite clear that he was a career criminal in the making! He was hardly the "pure as the driven snow" individual he has been depicted by friends and family! Pollack's slanted film makes it appear that Officer Wilson was a predator who viciously killed this fine young Black man, who was innocently walking down the street, Lies, lies, and more lies, disproven by the facts! Facts, which Pollack's chooses to cavalierly dismiss as a "cover up," because the truth does not fit in with his agenda to depict Michael Brown as the "good guy!"

    Don't waste your time

    Jason Pollocks racism and liberal biased shines in this horrendous excuse for a documentary.

    Propaganda Alert

    Jason Pollock is a shameless manipulator who has wantonly exacerbated an already volatile situation. He deliberately cuts and pastes to make the ludicrous assertion that Michael Brown "paid for" the cigarillos with a bag of weed. I'm not kidding. That's his whole point. Of course, you can view the unedited video to see for yourself that his "offer" was rejected by the store clerks and that he left the store in a big huff, leaving his "purchases" behind. Pollock also edits out the strong-arm robbery the next day when the store owner obviously knew nothing of any "deal" from the night before.

    Many questions remain: Why does Pollock assert that this is new evidence? The store-video footage has been with the store-owner's attorney from the beginning and is now readily available to any who are interested in the truth. Pollock's big score is a big zero. Even if you give Pollock his baseless assertion of some hare-brained drug deal, what difference does it make to the events of the next day? Nothing! Nada! Zip! And anyway, why would Brown leave his merchandise behind if he thought he had "paid" for it?

    Pollock uses a lot of foul language and false bravado to try to shame the audience into accepting his ridiculous claims. It seems to work on about half the viewers and that is a sad commentary on the ability of many viewers to think for themselves. Simply put, this film belongs in the trash bin of cheap, propagandistic junk. If it weren't for the hatred and falsehoods engendered by this film, that would be enough. However, Jason Pollock deserves a far worse fate for his wanton distortions and his incendiary rhetoric.

    One-sided hit piece on police

    The worst documentary I've ever seen, very short on facts just a lotta opinions from people who sees it from their point of view.

    Ignore the Trolls! Excellent documentary!

    I suspect this film has been targeted by a group of racist trolls. Statistically, the probability of every rating being a "1" is very, very slim. Pollack does an excellent job showing inconsistencies in testimony and the PR efforts of the police department and the prosecuting attorney. Watch it yourself and make up your own mind.
