Criminal Justice 101, professor/ ex police chief told us more cops don't stop crime. The motto is 9 guilty men should go free, to prevent 1 innocent man being imprisioned. The justice system is unfairly tilted in favor of cops, even when the cops make mistakes. The documentary is truthful, provides facts that can be researched, & were clearly ignored by the chief, DA, everyone involved. Brown was 18, no criminal record, & murdered like a dog in the street by a grown man unqualified to be a cop. I'm puzzled by the other comments that he wasn't an angel. What makes Brown different from an 18 yr old white kid? He wasn't a great student, school was hard for him, but he graduated & was going to college. He loved video games, animals, plants, was tall, was loved by his family, had lots of friends & wasn't violent. He was human, just as human as any 18 yr old kid. The person that killed him, the administrators, & DA all covered it up. Did they cover it up to keep their jobs, defend the blue wall, business as usual, or b/c he was black & not human? Maybe they did it, b/c they could get away with it & they knew no one would care enough to seek justice for Brown?

I love period dramas, whispering, & costumes, so this is a must see. I'm a huge Shakespeare lover as well, keeping this in mind Still Star Crossed has breakout hit potential. Shakespeare is still taught in high school & college, Romeo & Juliet is usually the most relatable for all teens. The idea of love is a fanciful dreamworld for girls & the gateway to sex for boys; so the show potentially attracts everyone. I'm intrigued by the afterlife of this historic play. So Romeo's previous heartbreak over Capulet Rosaline is ignored. Rosaline's secret love is the crown prince. The king has died, but the prince can't marry Rosaline. A union between the crown & Capulets would antagonize the Montagues & create more violence in Verona. Romeo's dad is behind Friar Lawrence's aiding the young lovers & potentially unseating the Capulets. Benvolio is to wed a Capulet. Rosaline & her sister, Olivia Capulet, are cousins of Juliet trapped in servitude; after their fathers murder. If only Olivia, the clear romantic, was chosen to marry Benvolio. Add a mysterious subplot, of Lady Capulets & Paris, subverting the crown, blowing up the town square, & framing Benvolio for murder. Exciting stuff.
