I Can't Breathe (God Forgive Them)

I honestly can't wait. If you watch until the end you'll know what I mean. Very powerful messages about police brutality, human rights, our connection with God, the afterlife, family issues / believing in yourself. The film was made from a book written by the main character (Thomas Laresca) and the events take place in the 90's. It's just another example of how the system is corrupt and innocent people are accused and abused by bad police and bad judges still today. This film puts pressure on a corrupt system accountable for their 'forgivable', but not forgettable actions. Very interesting film, I would highly recommend watching this.

The title came from deposition taken from the security guard 20 years ago, the guard stated he heard Mr. Laresca screaming I can't breathe God forgive them. Mr. Laresca tried lawyer after lawyer to question the police how he wound up in intensive care he never was able to have them questioned. Then he had cancer, depression years later he wrote a book about it, three attempts to make a movie in the last 10 years he was ripped off twice, and all he wants is for the police to finally be questioned. The police were on top of him for 25 minutes while handcuffed, no empathy for him, why? Ambulance s.

Thinking about this heart breaking movie brings tears to my eyes! Police brutality is getting worse in this country every day! My heart goes out to my big brother Tommy who I love as blood family in Christ! The thought of being attacked by law enforcement when you are innocent scares me to know end. In my hometown of Cincinnati Ohio, there have been some very bad cops over the decades. In Chillicothe Ohio, there has been corruption in law enforcement as well. Tommy is blessed to have survived this brutal senseless attack. These corrupt police better repent and get saved and lead better lives because Jesus is soon to return. I know Tommy online and I am so proud to call him my brother. Kevin Sorbo is one of my favorite actors. This Christian movie should win awards. My heart goes out to Tommy and I consider him a modern day Superman! I have plans of joining his church in NYC Statin Island. God bless this true super hero and God bless his wife, kids and family. The movie cast is full of superior actors and actresses. I want to buy the book and a copy of this movie. This is hands down one of the best christian movies of the 21st century! I highly recommend!

I like the way the movie starts out with action, and I have seen the ambulance reports, saying they needed to bring emergency life support system and hospital reports saying he was admitted to ICU. The man has been posting those reports on Linkedin and Facebook, along with deposition from the security guard on duty that night, stating the guard heard Mr Laresca screaming I CANT BREATHE, YOUR KILLING ME, and I AM DYING. He also showed police reports that say they called the ambulance because an officer hurt his wrist, pretty big contradiction with ambulance reports right there. So if I were put into intensive care by the police, and hired lawyer after lawyer without the police being questioned, I wouldn't let it go either. He also wrote a book about it in 2009, worked as a trader on Wall Street for 25 years, never guilty of a crime in his life, why weren't those police questioned? Sounds like the exclusive development in Boca Raton where this happened did not want this story out. Also why would the man offer 100K for the police to finally talk? If they weren't guilty why not talk, I would talk about anything if I was innocent, especially for 100K.

I'm sorry, I really wanted to give this flick a chance, seeing that it was produced locally. But really? Titling your film "I Can't Breathe" in the wake of the George Floyd tragedy? I understand that this film was meant to be an analogy for the story of Job, but it seems like a glaring oversight on so many fronts.
