Do Not Resist (2016)

Do Not Resist: Directed by Craig Atkinson. With Richard Berk, James Comey, Dave Grossman, Rand Paul. An account of the increasing use of military weapons and tactics by local law enforcement in the United States, counterpointed with civil unrest in Ferguson, Missouri following the shooting of Michael Brown in 2014.

“Militarization of law enforcement is certainly an issue. It is more of an issue at the the federal and state level it is at the local level.nBUT I do not understand the inclusion of Ferguson and other violent RIOTS. In those cases police having headgear, batons and riot shields is perfectly appropriate and not u0026quot;militarizationu0026quot; out of nowhere.nthe riots against the police in Ferguson, after Michael Brown, who was fleeing a violent felony he had just committed and assaulted a cop and grabbed his gun, were not in any way a justified violent riots.nThe Washington post, hardly right wing, gave four out of our Pinocchio to Elizabeth Warren and Kamilia Harris or lying about the Brown episode. Even the Obama DOJ, adter initially supporting the BLMs lies, concluded later the shooting was completely justified and that Brown had viciously attacked the police, was NOT shot in the back and did not have his hands up when he was shot.”
