Copwatch

I watched this film because I thought it would be informative as to police brutality, and a documentary on their approach to document said. They did show a few examples of police wrong doing, yet I got more of a let's piss cops off so we can make a documentary.

I gave it a 2 for the valid shot's of cop's doing wrong. Very hard to watch as far as quality of shooting.

A real introspective look into the lives of people who stand agaisnt police brutality by filming interactions with cops as bystanders. It delivers an emotional story of their lives in the aftermath of high profile videos that have helped open all of our eyes to the injustices that many see, feel, and experience at the hands of those sworn to protect us and uphold the law. This documentary captures angles and emotions so well, it's engaging, it's stirring, and it's riveting. I appreciate the work they do as Cop Watchers and the work that was put into making this film.

A sure way to prove their hatred for police and the incredible service they do at incredible risk to themselves is all this is about. There is no real documentary here, but instead just hate and one sided lies that have no real support.

Don't get me wrong, it starts with some constructive ideas and descends into the normal hatred of authority any Marxist movement would have and not much else. In fact I could not find one thing that actually has real substance in the proper context, other than what the press has slanted their way. From the false "hands up, don't shoot" to the only truth in this ... that the filmmakers do not care about the real issues, but instead only care about political spin. Only worth a watch if you want to see what not to do as a filmmaker and that is be a poor example of infotainment director.

A few examples of policy wrongdoing, but mostly self inflicted cops provocations to lure them into wrong doing. Leftist propaganda!

Of course the review title is dripping with sarcasm. I gave an extra star for decent production value on what appears to be a limited budget.

This was not good in 2017. Sadly it's aged even more poorly.

This is written through the lens of criminals rather than the victims. I would have loved to see the interviews with the families whose lives were shattered by criminal activity.

Do I believe police make mistakes. Of course I do. All humans make mistakes. Sadly this revisionist documentary makes a monolith of all police. The baiting in this sham is off the charts.

Somehow I wish we would hold derelict politicians to the same standard as police. JMHO.
