8/10
70's New York
28 February 2023
It's 1973 Brooklyn. The Police is seen as an occupation force in the minority communities. There is much tension and the police don't negotiate. Four Muslim youths try to steal guns in a sporting goods store. It becomes a hostage standoff. NYPD psychologist Harvey Schlossberg begins the new path of negotiation.

The most shocking moment is the White Power command during the '71 Attica Prison riot. It always funny when people insists that they're not racists. It's not quite like the movies. It's a lot darker. This is an interesting moment in time. I wouldn't mind a movie made about this incident. This documentary does need a tick tock countdown to show the duration of the incident. It needs a recreation to show the initial shootout and the important death of the policeman. It's another time and it's fascinating to see it on the street level.
