I see such split reviews with some accusing it of being woke propaganda and the other side applauding this documentary.
Im asian n i have no love for cops at all and i was a troubled youth that got into lots of trouble with the law many times from the start of my teenage years into my young adult life.
Racism with white cops is real n theirs alot of bad ones But theirs also many good white cops also, now I cant say if each of those cops who killed an unarmed black person was a racist or not but i think that the perception of black ppl being dangerous or bad usually comes from the community themselves.
In my city most crimes on average are race divided, so for example :
most gun crime deaths are 8/10 times committed by black teens/adults and my city does not have an overwhelming population of more black people then whites like how in america does, so if black people represent an overwhelming amount of violent crimes in my city not being the most dominant in populace then imagine how it is in cities in america where blacks outnumber white ppl in population?? Their crime stats would be even higher by 10x! Or more!
Most robberies with weapons on the street or at stores are also majority black, home invasions also are too, as well as brazen shootings in public places like busy streets or inside malls or wherever is also majority blacks as well.
Of course crimes are also committed by other races too but in my big populated city the higher percentage for these violent crimes are usually done by black.
These black gangs terrorize neighbourhoods n then the black community blames the cops for not protecting them and yet these same communities refuse too help cops solve murder cases to stop gangs in their neighbourhood out of fear. They want other ppl to do something n yet they wont themselves.
BLM highlights nonstop the past racism from colonial years up to presently for causing how blacks are viewed but yet they refuse to acknowledge that even just viewing them only by the present year alone u will see them as dangerous, no need to even look further back to claim its a persistent racism culture.
Now cops now n days get more edgy around black suspects because black criminals tend to kill someone over $1 even, because they themselves view their lives as worth nothing and they also carry the Hiphop culture of how its gangster to shoot ppl that wrong them.
Other criminal groups that are white or east asian usually focus on money first before violence because their smarter that way n value their lives more thus they are viewed differently in the eyes of cops. Are their gangs that are white n asian that cause violence? Of course but its not common as black on black broad day light shootings.
I have seen lots of racism by white people as a kid but i have seen just as much by black people if not more.
I think the perfect saying goes like
"we lay in the beds we make"
If u wanta stop black people from being percieved as violent or dangerous then u need to first focus on the overwhelming amount of black kids,teens, adults that join gangs. Only by fixing your community n making it better can u change perception.
Even in the criminal world everyone knows u can do proper business with any race except blacks or white/asian gangs that chill with black gangs n heavily influenced by them, because all they do is try to rob people.
Asian and white gangs not associating with any black gangs most often will do proper business.
Just that mindset alone between the racial divide of crime groups behaviours should already highlight why cops fear black suspects more cuz they are willing to give their life over nothing.
U wont see white kids or asian kids trying to rob ppl on the street for $1 or $5 or whatever, thats all black kids.
Most cases where cops killed a black suspect often involved the suspect not complying or they make it difficult by trying hard to argue back.
Yes theirs abunch of cases where they did nothint wrong but thats literally like 1 out of 10 000 cases. They can find 100 cases but thats still 100 out of 100k cases. BLM paints narrative as if everyone n All of them thats are black suspects is being killed and thats just false narrative.
