A feature film about police violence inspired by recent events. ( by Adam Neutzsky-Wulff)
Author's Notes: Do You wish to contribute to the recent awakening and movement which is trggered by heinous police brutality, death incidents in US. Their unaccountability for their police actions, protected by the phenomenon called "reasonable doubt" by lawyers who are specialised to inspire the jury to protect the police officers and their unions. "The Land of The Free and Home of The Brave" crumbles with terrifying result of the militarization of Police.
When this is said, we acknowledge Police officers have bad salaries, sometime poor working conditions, limited access to therapy, post stress disorders. Average Law Enforcement Officer Salary is $36000, 96 pct of the total resources goes to salaries, rest of (4 pct) goes to futher education, therapy, courses. So do the Police gets the correct attention, when their colleagues dies by gun shots right in front of their eyes? HOWEVER, that is NOT a excuse to use deadly force towards homeless people or rest of the population!!!! (Death of Kelly Thomas)
Do You remember Benjamin's case in 2008 in Denmark? 3 Police officers was NOT prosecuted:
"A New Year evening many years ago threw Benjamin a bottle, police discovered the incident and an arrest was made. The arrest went wrong because it ended the 18-year-old Benjamin actually dead, but was revived. Benjamin ended up with a massive brain injury, and never returned to the life he knew".

In 2011 three officers got away with killing a man. His only crime was being homeless.
THE MOST IMPORTANT PROJECT OF MY CAREER
With the recent ruling in New York, Ferguson, the police killing of a 12-year old in Cleveland and the entire nation responding aggressively to these events, I believe now is the time for a feature film that dares to show both sides of a heated topic to try and inspire change. But we need your help to make it happen.
I want to create a film that challenges the notion of a flawless police force. I feel that clever prosecutors are shaping arguments to mislead jurors to ignore blatant police misconduct, undermining the basis of our democracy. The right to fairness is no longer a given in our modern judicial system.
This film needs to say:"Do not mock our sense of justice. Do not say it's not a race issue. Do not tell us that officers are entitled to shoot to kill just because they're carrying a badge." There is no such thing as a code of conduct when cops kill a child holding a toy gun. Police officers are public servants on duty, not soldiers at war.
Still - in order to change anything we need to show respect for all human life, regardless of skin color and understand both sides of the problem. This is about restoring our faith in human decency and that is why I feel this film is so important.
