    Seems like the 4chan drones are review bombing again
    Very poignant look at the life and death of Michael Brown. Everyone knew it was a cover up. The same old patterns of the slave patrol being perpetuated by white folks in denial.

    All ththe evidence about the assisination of Michale Brown's character is on display. Spin for the media and to manipulate the public to defend one of their own officers.

    The review bombers stem from the racist 4chan or alt right (now alt lite) boys clubs. The coordinated effort to eradicate any sense of egalitarianism is priority one.

    The filmmakers do an admirable job on exposing systemic racism and corruption. If you don't believe that Michael Brown is human, or that black people are humans, then it's easier to buy into the Tomi Lahren narrative that supports white supremacy.

    Hats off to Pollock. Well done. A film for grown ups.
