Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
NickyCee I just saw the film. Most of the important things about this "documentary" have already been said. Biased isn't the word. It's just a one-side opinion piece. Now how about this idea? How about when you get pulled over by a cop, you fully understand that the cop has a chip on his shoulder. He is probably not smart enough to do much else in life and probably got beat up on the playground. Now it's HIS time to be in power. So with this in mind, how about this idea? How about you do everything the cop tells you to do exactly as he tells you to do it knowing that if you touch the chip on his shoulder, it will not go well for you. I knew this as a white suburban boy at 10 years old. I've been pulled over many times and so have my black friends. **They do as they are told and there is never a problem.**Bottom line: This lady brought 100% of these problems on herself. If she had done what she was told, she would be fine. I have zero idea how this lightweight opinion film was nominated for an Oscar.
shanedickerson-78127 This woman is evasive and non conforming from the start. The film spends 90% of the time highlighting this "victims" life as an angel in the community. Only, the "community she seems to participate in is strictly African American or minority based leading me to believe she is the racist one. The other 10% proves why if you act foolish and don't follow simple commands from the police you end up in jail. Of course there was a money grab and subsequent payout to keep the rest of the African American community in Austin from burning down their own city. Made me angry and discredits real cases of discrimination or racism that does go on from time to time.
pensacolacomputer Cops have a VERY tough job. People dont seem to understand this. They deal with criminals everyday, some running from them, sometimes shooting at them, etc etc...Why didn't this lady obey the officer's orders? She broke the law, tried to pretend that she didn't see the cop, was walking away, disobeyed orders, multiple times, resisted arrest, multiple times, and now is complaining? Did the officer use more force than necessary after sh broke the law multiple times? Yes. But why didn't she just follow orders and obey the law?? Also,she was cussing up a storm, and you teach children???? I would never let her teach my child. OBEY THE COP'S ORDERS, ALWAYS, and things like this will not happen. Then on the way to the jail, a cop speaks the truth, and says 99% of the time the black community is the one causing problems, not listening to the cops orders. Sad but true. What is this "documentary" trying to solve? How is this helping anything? Its not, unless people START LISTENING AND OBEYING THE COPS ORDERS. PERIOD.
apollack11 Although anyone can enjoy and be impacted by this film, as a defense attorney, it really spoke to me, and I am glad this documentary was produced. It is about a traffic stop for speeding that turned violent. What made it unique was how it humanized the person who was stopped, a 112-pound schoolteacher named Breaion King, showing her life and personality, and hopefully will cause an incident of excessive use of force by an officer, combined with potential racial factors that may have influenced the incident, to be brought home to the viewer in a more meaningful way. I think the film highlights all the more why video recordings - both in-car and body-worn cameras - are extremely important and should be required by law.
