Common Sense

When everyone in charge are black, then label the system "racist?" Enough already! This case has nothing to do with race. Fact is, no race, ethnicity, gender, or religion is immune from wrong doing and/or corruption. People are people. It's pretty simple if you think about it.

So we have three shots with two in the air and one in the head. All brass belong to the service weapon. What cop is trained to discharge their weapon in the air? The answer is NONE. Not for ANY reason whatsoever. The doc was very light on the specific forensics and that should tell you something. Kinda like the assertion that Suiter was going to testify "against" someone. Really? The documentary itself disproves this notion as we learned he refused to cooperate with the FBI. So they subpoenaed him to testify. We have no idea what he was going to say - if anything. Meanwhile, Gondo WAS cooperating... Anyone shoot him in the head? No. Anyone shank him in jail? No. How about the guards - did they lump him up at least? No.

Incarceration, ego, embarrassment, and family. Any one of these four things could prompt a suicide. Think about the odds when all apply. People here actually knock the obvious but embrace the one in a million possibility and actually want to be taken seriously? For his friends and family I get it. But for everyone else - not so much.

"This is Baltimore. Don't be surprised by anything that happens here."

Most documentaries follow the the literary formula established by Gay Tálese in print journalism. They set forth a series of facts molded into the kind of story familiar to all of us from fiction. The camera follows a character on a quest for information through a series of events and ends with some kind of emotional pay off.

In this story, the widow of Baltimore police officer Sean Suiter tries to find out who killed her husband. The film begins as Suiter's partner calls 911 to report that he has been shot in the head, and the viewer watches through a body cam as a tape of his partner's panicked voice plays in the background.

What follows is a funeral with honors where Baltimore's finest honors one of its own. He is praised by cops and politicians.

And then we get to the real story. It's likely that Suiter was not only murdered by another cop, but that, he will never have justice. His wife knows it, the filmmaker knows it and, by the end of the movie, so does the audience.

As it turns out, for ever Serpico who becomes a hero at fighting corruption, there are countless Sean Suiters. And the corruption still wins.

Actress and director Sonja Sohn does an excellent job of showing how a high profile murder can go unsolved in a city like Baltimore. She doesn't care about where the viewer wants the story to go, or even what the viewer thinks. She tells the story, shows the human toll, and reminds us that corruption is bottomless.

At times, it's a tough watch, but imagine how tough it is for Sean Suitor's family.

Relatively interesting

Relatively interesting and coherent execution with entertaining footage, but I don't see the relevance of Dwight Watkins, who seems to own bitter and racist views.
