Disappointed at the ending, but not unexpected. If this happened to me, in real life, when I'm done with the cop, even the majority of black people would view me as sick and vile. Hence, the second quote in my sig below.

For real, look at Chris Dorner and Micah Johnson. No way were the police was gonna let an exarmy breh live and spit the real in jail. They should've killed the policeman. I really hope there's a director's cut that shows the execution of that him in front of his fam.

i feel the ending was done so this could get picked up by a distributor lol. But yeah an alternate ending would be good

This sh*t good so far :yeshrug:

I wasn’t mad at first at him not killing the cop. That would’ve made everyone there an accessory to murder but, after he got killed, I almost turned the sh*t off. For all that, he might as well killed him. It’s funny how none of them blue lives loving cops made any mention of him doing 21 months in Iraq. He was more of a “Patriot” than any of them...yet in the end he still got shot like a dog, nobody cared about how his son was profiled and the media completely dismissed and trivialized him. I don’t know how to feel about this.

Great movie imo.
I won't say what I really want to but at they was going to be doing years anyways. I figure anyone who signed up for that was willing to go to the grave. The fact that the cop admitted that had they not profiled them, his son would be alive is enough for me. The part that kills me though is he was like "there's no cops on the jury those aren't my peers." Really:camby:

I wanted Nate to smoke the cop too, but that would've been the wrong move. He wasn't just out for revenge, he wanted justice for his son. He tried to get it by having the cops' (plural) admissions of racism and prejudice caught on camera. He alsomade the cop and the cop's family feel the panic & helplessness, but his main mission was to expose the system. That's why he wanted everything filmed.

I just finished watching it. Definitely not what I expected after seeing the trailer, but still a good movie.

This film needed to be made. It's not a classic but it brings up important points seen and made by black people but never verbalised in media. shyt we say in Th[e Coli. I downloaded this film but I'm buying this film to support the brother.


Although

I'm not letting that cop of the hook. If that was me and the chip killed my family, I'm torturing him within an inch of his life and maiming him.
I think the reason he didn’t kill him is not only to show that black people aren’t sadistic like these white folks, but the fact that it was being documented and showing the world that yes this cop killed his son, but he still manages to show he’s not totally out for vengeance. Then when they kill him anyway, it really amplifies how sick these people are.

Supported breh & rented on Amazon. As a film itself it has many problems, but Ima forego judging it on that for now. From the City Hall point on, it was up!

I can't be the only one that wanted Lync to let that thang rang after the verdict, yes? :whoa:

is the movie really bad or is it just one segment of society hating?
Dude takes the police station over and starts a trial on the cop that killed his son and prisoners are the jury and his cop buddy is defending him while swat is outside. That should tell you all you need to know about this movie.

Dope movie. Another great film from Nate. A little preachy in parts but solid and enjoyable. Only cacs would hate on this.
