I stopped watching this film after 2:30, because it was already evident Breaion King got what she deserved.I am sick to death of people using race as an excuse for bad behavior and blaming the police as racist.When stopped by the police, no matter for what or why, you do not argue - that's what court is for - cooperate, accept your ticket and if you believe you were wrongly ticketed, fight it in court.Anyone who argues with the police or resists the police deserves what they get.
I watched the first 3 minutes and I didn't see any big problem with what the police officer did. She was asked to step back in the car. She was hesitant and began with excuses why not to. Then the officer saw she was lying (had no wallet to go to the store) and he became suspicious. He asked for driver license several times and she argued and didn't comply. He then tells her to get out of the car, and she resisted.BTW, this is actually how majority of these so-called abuse cases. They don't comply with lawful orders ad resits arrest, and then complain the cop uses force.Why did we need the background sob story building up to this? Totally useless for this story. and where was the cop interview?There are definitely unjustified abuses, but from what I have seen they are rare.
It was clear that the person was evading the cop and not cooperating. The cop acted unprofessionally after his patience wore thin.
Featured on HBO, which states it's 'Oscar Nominee'Was hoping it was a documentary that blows the lid off police brutality, and racism within the countries police force. At least hoping someones tragic story of being murdered by cops for being black be told on the main-stage for the world to see. Nope, nope and nope.It's some black women's crocodile tear filled story about why she should get to walk away from traffic stops and resist arrest.Steven Seagal (the cop) doesn't have the decency or patience or awareness and logic to give the women a chance to realize her own stupidity and gets all Ike Turner on her for not listening to his godly commands promptly..This could have been watched on youtube in 30seconds and forgotten about in 1 second.Oscar nominee. Wow. Today I learned fluff can be nominated for an Oscar. Im sure Oscar nominees are picked from facebook polls.
