@@Overtimewayne Yeah...I have to agree with you... it's been going on longer than that and it appears that having cameras work but not all the time. Now it's up to a jury to decide what they see is true or not. Its entire mess but I cant help but to remain hopeful. In the meantime, there still needs to be some change taken place in the justice system It's really sad that they want the change to happen from injustice of individualis (African Americans) who are being accused. It starts within the system. That's a lot of time that the justice system takes away from innocent people only to compensate them with money... they compensate them with money and the same time, theres no reprimand for the injustice committed

Reading the book and then watching this is so surreal. I’ve read all about this and read all about these people, but seeing what they actually look like, sound like and act like, just makes the story all the more painful. It’s horrifying how this is real, and the overlap that comes from when you read the book and see the words “60 minutes interview” and then watch it, it really does just settle in that every single part of this was real, every word spoken, every injustice and every bit of pain, were something that actually did happen. It was disturbing to read, but it’s almost unreal to watch.
