At first, I was completely baffled as to why the rating for this doc on this site is so low. Then, I remembered the current climate, the climate when this took place and the climate every time something like this takes place. I read some of the reviews, and again had to consider the climate of things. So...
At no point in this doc was Mike Brown painted to be an angel. Anyone who got that idea clearly missed the point. He was portrayed as exactly what he was, a person. Something people sometimes forget when the matter of racism or racially motivated issues are concerned. That and the fact that they left his body on the ground for over 4 hours them took it away in a wagon like he was a dead animal.
There was not, and still is not any justifiable reason why Officer Wilson murdered him. Yes, he murdered him. Point blank. There is a pile of evidence that confirms he was murdered. I know when a cop does the shooting people try to change the narrative, but a cop is still a human. And a human killing another human is murder. It was not self defense. He died from the shot to the head, which took place while Brown was already down from being riddled with bullets. A person who is already crippled from gunshots and has no weapon is not a threat. He did not charge at Officer Wilson and this was proven by evidence.
And lastly, yes there are a lot of racial references that I'm certain make some people uncomfortable. To that I say, you should ask yourself why does it make you feel uncomfortable? And don't use tired excuses or made up concepts, such as "race baiting" or "creating division". Because the truth about why this makes you uncomfortable, those exact feelings, are the usually the motivating factors (or the beginning) to the occurrence of situations like this.
