truth of the whole matter is that african americans are push overs, nobody is standing up for anything anymore unless it's for shooting another gang member walking thru your hood or something dumb like that. police, d.a.'s, ticket and traffic agents all make their quotas by penalizing innocent poor blacks and you can't run to your people for help because there is no help

this docu-drama is very powerful... i couldn't believe it was based on a true story... still a disgrace this takes place in certain parts of the U.S.

[eagle0468]

@enrique286 This takes place all over the US. There are overzealous police and prosecuters everywhere. They try to bust the easiest patsy they can to get a plea or conviction to pad their stats and get more grant money from the Feds.

This is why I'm voting for Ron Paul! He wants to end this war, and the other genocidal wars!

Regina Kelly is a shining example of courage, strength and determination! The movie made me both angry at the system and happy for her resolution. Racism is alive in good ol USA, a tricky battle we'll always fight. In my own world I am uncomfortable telling my Massage clinic I want to see a different masseuse. NOT bc she's African american or the color of skin. Simply bc her energetic style, talking too much and loud music is not relaxing for a massage. How do you play that card without som

Regina, I am just in awe of you. I know your children and your parents are so proud of you! Congratulations! Too bad that this was basically swept under the rug. This DA should have been arrested. You give others hope! Now you just need to get people to go out and vote John Paschall out.
