When They See Us Official Thread

Real shyt, the company who makes those eyeglasses that record video and immediately upload to the cloud is going to bank a lot of money. All those other features are a bonus. A lot of footage on phones today can miss exactly what the person is seeing. It don’t look like you’re recording either. Plus it got that gps shyt too. fukk it upload that shyt to YouTube immediately too.

Comparable to how people record the road when they’re driving and can prove they weren’t liable in an accident.

If they make them look sleek, that’s an immediate buy.

I finished the shyt and had to keep wiping my eyes. I wasn't even crying. Just didn't realise how tears were coming down my eyes. The 14 yr old with the black eye pleading with his sister to sign the letter had my throat lumped up and then episode 4 just did me in. Korey's whole episode had my mrs beside herself ready to talk to my kids. My boys are ages 6 and 9. I can't imagine it. I just can't. What the police did. What the prosecutors did. Smh. I can't blame yusef for how he acted towards Korey. Omar messed up real bad but see how much trauma he's already dealing with. He just didn't have it in him to be strong enough. No one should go through that, much less kids. Ava did a great job and the acting was top notch. Such a hard watch but essential viewing.

My son is 9 too.
I really dreading that day when Ima HAVE to start having these conversations with him.

That was awful man


Deep down, I wonder if some of their parents started believing that they had something to do with it.

What's crazy is how Yusef's moms pulled him out of there before signing anything or making a tape and he still got time. What. The. fukk.



And that's why muhfukkas need to watch this shyt, parents and kids, cause the main reason they got fukked so hard was because of those bullshyt admissions and confessions

I don’t understand how it wasn't considered inadmissible. How can any confession by a 13 year old kept in a police station without any parental supervision for 24-48 hours hold up in court?

What’s crazy is I’m empathetic to old boys pops for doing what he did.

It wasn’t right, and he def held in a lot of anger towards him for it years later. But I think his pops felt both HELPLESS and GUILTY about what happened to his son, like he couldn’t protect him which was his #1 job.

They seemed hella close before all the bullshyt went down.

 

[BXKingPin82]

Damn. That last episode was like watching the Browder Documentary all over again.

I finished watch episode 3 and episode 4.

Korey Wise episode was rough to watch, . He got the worse than all of them boys.

These mfers cops, lying ass detectives and ugly ass cave bytch deserves to put in prison the same sentence they gave that innocent boys.

This thread should be a sticky thread

Raymond's grandmother was like at the father and uncle.

Oh shyt I’m not even talking about Raymond but it’s close to being the same situation.

I’m talking about the ”Omar from the Wire”.

Both fathers worried about their job over sons.

Powerful shyt.

If I had kids around this age, I'd sit down and watch this with them. Even pre-teens need to see this. Whole time I was watching it I was thinking about my nephews who are only like 10 and 11, just innocent as fukk and growing up in a society that views them as future monsters. I see people giving this film the "slave" movie treatment and calling it torture porn, but this story needs to be told and shared with people who could be faced with this kind of situation today. So much could be learned from watching this with the youth IMO.

My wife was balling throughout each episode



Mad that I had her watch it, but shyt, we need to watch and support real work like this because it's impactful and it resonates 30 years later.

Made my kids watch it. The police are NOT YOUR friends
