      Audience Member Excellent film presented in a neutral manner. Tigre Hill lays out the facts step by step straight from the mouths of the men and women who were there and are willing to bve heard. Then he takes it further and lets you hear from those who trumpet the call of racism and prejudice and claim some conspiracy to hold down the black man. Unfortunately, in this case, the black man had possession of the gun, had the officer's bullet in his own gut, cursed the officer and admitted to shooting him and wished him dead, worked toward rebellion, supported the Black Panthers, disrupted his own trial and when given the opportunity to present a defense, flat out refused other than to play the race card. And on that, the celebrities have hung their hats, coats and reputations. Watch and see for yourselves! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
