This film is simply profiteering in the wake of George Floyd's killing. It wastes your time with emotionally manipulative, racially charged, and ultimately divisive content that fails to address the widespread and indiscriminate reality of police abuse and corruption.
The film has a microscopic focus on racially motivated problems and invokes the memory of George Floyd. All while conveniently leaving out names like Linden Cameron, Hunter Brittain, Edward Bronstein, Zachary Hammond, Keith Vidal, Kelly Thomas, Ryan Bolinger, Tony Timpa, Duncan Lemp, Ryan Whitaker, or Daniel Shaver.
The "experts" are anything but, all you have to do is listen and laugh. They openly admit that "rehabilitative justice reform" will result in dangerous criminals getting out sooner and harming people. Multiple times throughout they include sex workers, drug users, and even drug dealers while talking about abuses faced by actual protected classes like Black people, indigenous people, people with disabilities, etc.
The ultimate conclusion of "prison abolition" and the idea of sending social workers out on police work is a pipe-dream, band-aid, non-solution that does nothing to address the street-level abuses on display in this very "documentary". Nor does it address the abject cowardice shown at Uvalde or frankly any other form of real police corruption.
Our laws need to be rewritten. From departmental guidelines everywhere, to state and federal law, to the precedents established in Warren v. District of Columbia, Deshaney v. Winnebago County, and Castle Rock v. Gonzalez.
Our police forces need to be completely rebuilt from top to bottom under those new guidelines. Everything discussed in this biased and racially motivated film is ultimately a misguided waste of time.
(Also worth noting the otherwise perfect 10s here and on RT. This film is being astroturfed.)
