When They See Us... on Netflix...
A must see / this series on the Central Park Five....
I saw the documentary years ago, but this dramatic portrayal, is so painful to watch, creates such anger, betrayal and distrust..
the only minuscule redeeming thing is that they were Acquitted of all charges..(but it should have NEVER happened), and got some compensation.. but what can ever compensate for the life lost, the brutality and criminality on the part of the poilice, investigators..and prosectors...NOTHING!!! dispicable.....
And all the mothers , fathers,brothers and sisters, grandparents that helped nourish , and provide to the best of their ability loving homes, promises of futures.. families torn apart, left in disarray and anguish
and while it is 20 years later... we are on a backward slide..or maybe we never really progressed as much as we believed..... so much has not changed with the racial profiling of black men and youth..
Reforms to our criminal justice system should be an imperative for all
