If you've been a somewhat regular reader of mine you know a few things about me. If this is your first time, let me give you the quick rundown. I'm human, Black, a husband, a dad, a lover of both good and bad movies of every genre. I occasionally weave my own social commentary and experiences into reviews of movies that allow it, while still trying to be fair and clear about my praises and criticisms of every film I write about.
Now that we're all caught up, let's talk about what's been on most of our minds.
I had a written response all planned out in my head a couple weeks ago when I woke up to video of George Floyd being murdered in the street by Derek Chauvin, a White police officer as three other officers did nothing. Yes, I refuse to say "allegedly." This came within days of several other high profile racially motivated events, one of which was also a video a Black man, Ahmaud Arbery, being murdered in the street by White men. Weeks before, a Black woman, Breonna Taylor, was gunned down in her own home by cops serving a warrant - at the wrong address for a person who was already in police custody. And I'm not breaking any news here, but these are just a few in a long line of similar events.
After the Floyd video, things changed rapidly and our collective heads are spinning so I couldn't gather my thoughts in a coherent enough manner for a blog post, but I'm going to try it. Finally.
Instead of going through all the talking points we've heard, and I've said to people in plenty of conversations in real life, I'm going to tell you what I'm worried about. I'm worried that WE are being set up for disappointment. This movie is starting to hit a lot of the same plot points as many others. After the Black person is killed at the beginning, the White character who deemed himself, occasionally herself, executioner gives their side of the story which always involves one or more of the following phrases: looks suspicious, fit the description, resisted arrest, didn't cooperate, appeared to have a gun, made a sudden movement, self-defense. They then go home as if nothing happened. The only reason these people eventually get arrested is because of public outcry.
That last part, friends, is the engine that keeps the train of slaughter going. The people charged with upholding the law act as if it is okay for a White person to kill a Black person, so long as the killer hits the key talking points, and it never makes the national news. It's all done under the guise of one of America's most famous legal slogans, "innocent until proven guilty." The mass hypocrisy is that perpetrators of other ethnicities are not afforded the same luxury. In most cases of non-White offenders, at least to my knowledge and experience, arrests are made and if they are not financially well-off, they're presented with two options: admit to guilt (take a plea bargain), or go to trial with an overworked public defendant who may or may not be as interested in proving your innocence as in getting it over quickly because of their immense workload.
In any movie worth its celluloid (digitaloid, these day?), the opening acts are merely the setup for the climax. In this genre, and this film is no different, the setup includes a lengthy montage of the victim's past indiscretions. Everything this person has ever done wrong, or even of questionable taste, is brought up as a way to discount their worth as a human being. So much has been reported about George Floyd over the last few days that, if I didn't know any better, I'd think he was suspecting of killing someone. It feels like the powers that be are trying to discount his worth to the point where enough "fine people" can brush off his killing as just getting another bad apple off the street. It seeks to put enough doubt in the minds of potential jurors that they might follow the line of thinking that goes as follows: Floyd was a bad person, therefore he must have been doing bad things, after all, these trusty police officers said he was. Acquittal is easy when the "heroes" are presented as guys just doing their jobs. Within a year, we could be told Chauvin and his fellow officers are found not guilty.
That's what scares me.

Rodney King being mercilessly beaten by police officers in 1991. Those officers were initially exonerated. Two of them were eventually sacrificed on the altar of "oops" justice by the federal government after riots ripped Los Angeles in half.
Over the last few weeks, there were instances of riots all around the country, however, most of the people rioting were either right-wing antagonizers intent on making the actual protesters look bad, really far left anarchists pushing their own agenda or, surprise, police officers over zealously, often needlessly, breaking up peaceful crowds by throwing tear gas and shooting rubber bullets. In the history of American riots, these are but minor dust-ups. Now imagine if Chauvin and company get off.
Imagine.
Cringing?
I am.
But I also have hope.
I have hope that the proverbial's bull back is finally broken. I have hope the wheels of justice will turn without the road having to be paved with more bodies.
One reason for hope is that, at some point, right and wrong has to truly become undeniable fact rather than a matter of political opinion. The existence of video after video after video makes it increasingly harder to justify unjust actions. Those caught committing heinous acts can no longer hide behind the blue wall without fear of exposure. In a sad, sad way, visible evidence of us being treated inhumanely may finally validate our humanity in the eyes of those who, in the past, denied it, ignored it, or were indifferent to it. In case you didn't understand, we as Black people don't need White validation. We know we're human. White people in general, but hopefully not you, still need to learn this. More accurately, they need to learn that equality is not just something to say you believe in, but something to practice and demand. It appears they are learning this.
Appears.
My optimism is always cautious.
I know this is a movie blog, so thank you for indulging me. As a reward, I do have some movies to recommend. Of course, these are all topical. And good. I've reviewed or just written about the ones with links. I haven't reviewed the others, but enjoy them all, nonetheless.
