Im checkin for it.. I cant take that white kid seriously as a man he looks 14 in the face

Jim!
Oh nvm it's that weird looking guy. It looks good though -
Movie looks dope. I havent seen Krasinski in anything since the Office went off air! Crazy to think he was super close to being Captain America instead of Chris Evans.

They had a special showing in detroit that my parents went to and they said it was really good.
This happenee in my grandma neighborhood.
Detroit was never the same after these riots.
White flight was gradually happening before the riots but afterwards the whites left to the northern suburbs -

I was born and raised less than a few blocks from 12th where it happen (I was born and raised on the outskirts of Boston-Edison, on Longfellow / Atkinson by Rosa Parks Blvd -- otherwise known as 12t St. ...the riot happen a lil up the road close to Clairmount where the old Farmer's Jack used to be).
My grandparents had their own family they were raising near the area when it went down, Gramps had to send my mom and her siblings across the bridge to Canada (where my grandma from and her family) while he was working as an Detroit policeman during that time (he was still working Vice in the precinct based on Fort St. at the time). Said stuff was extra crazy.
Like @detcatinva and @konceptjones , we were born as one of the first generation near the end of the decade following the riots, so we were one of the first to really feel the effect of the white flight, the change and the gradual effect of ? taking over after the riots (and all the ? with Pony Down, Young Boys, White Boy Rick, etc... )
I think alot of America, especially "sports (professional)" America HATED Detroit after the riots, because they didn't want the same to happen to their cities....it put an unfair picture on Detroit, which is why to this day, sports fans in America are so quick to bash Detroit for any thing (and the Brawl in the Palace was started by SUBURBANS (and white folks not blacks) not FROM Detroit proper -- but yet native Detroiters were still being blamed for it). -
Detroit stand up!

Was watching the Dramatics unsung and 2 of their members was in that hotel room when all that happened. That's crazy.

I was in that ? fuming bruh. Never has a film made me so upset on several different occasions. I've seen some slavery movies and not think twice about it but this ? right here? I legit left the theater mad as ? .
I think being from Detroit added to it a lot but I was in theater like ? everybody. Whatever the film crew set out to do they did it because the joint will make you want to riot.
5/5 most definitely an amazing film. The cinematography, acting all that was on point. It captured every type of anger, hate, resentment, sadness possible. If I never have to see a cop again it won't be soon enough.
Support the film but you will hate it lol -
