A critique of a Documentary A Report From Occupied Documentary
The video opens with the lamentation of the murder, which paves the way for a meaningful critique. The killing of a black man seems not to auger well with the people because of what is termed as racial discrimination. The murder of a black man, Michael Brown, in the year 2014, opens an avenue for the quest for justice. The incident paints a picture of the USA’s justice system uniquely, and most of the attention is that racial discrimination is perpetrated on black Americans. This completely changes the mood of the Americans, especially the black community, which feels attacked.
The appalling issue is that the murder, which was witnessed and the nature of the aftermath of the shooting of the victim. The exoneration of the police officer who was involved in the killing is what irked the black people and revealed the faults in the justice system. It showed the rogue lawyers who were more determined to meander around the loopholes of law to ensure that the suspect was released. It indeed pained the people because of the contradiction in what they witnessed. His release reveals the inequality in American society. This is what makes them aggressive on how to handle problems with the knowledge of the fact that biasness is on their side.
The turn of events reveals the culture of racism where the victims are the blacks despite many instances of sensitization and promise by the government to handle it as required. It shows the vulnerability of the black people to police brutality what of the allegations that they are dangerous to the existing peace in the society. This notion has created fear for police officers. Overall, justice among black people has proven to be challenging among them.
