    Recently, a video of a white man who was drunk in a hotel and was suppressed by the police and shot five shots in a row appeared on YouTube recently. The police brutality and gun problems in the United States have not only not improved, but have intensified. Although this film focuses more on the issue of racial discrimination, it ignores the meaning after the incident, and only tries to restore the incident itself, and the angle is too thin, which is a pity.

    Whether it is possible to distinguish the boundaries of skin color, in this land, there is no distinction between you and me. The story of a black boy who was good, but lost his due justice because of excessive police power and guarding the officials. There is no equal righteousness, but later people have to remember that all is not easy to come by. Fairness and peace of mind.
