Most documentaries I have seen lately (on a variety of topics) have been one-sided, so it's fine if you know that going into it. This was well done, though, and shed a lot of light on current events, but also the events leading up to the explosive times we now find ourselves in.
***I took slight issue with the Assata Shakur and Angela Davis section. Do your research and find out why their portrayal is controversial for some (Shakur more than Davis).***
I think everyone should watch this one. Empathy and kindness towards the oppressed will only come for some if they would just educate themselves just a little bit, and then continue on to educate themselves further. We all have much work to do.

This was a comprehensive documentary with great detail of certain aspects of the NYPD 12 experience. My one complaint is the drone footage in between segments - it was causing the show to seem slow and starting to make us lose interest. We started fast forwarding those parts!
That said, the stories of these officers are infuriating and the grace with which they handle it all is inspiring. I hope they can get the change they want but also the satisfaction of being heard and believed. Their fellow officers should stand up for them!
