New Film Ask If Justice System Rigged Against Black Americans

FEATURING DAVID MASSEY AND DAWN KIRK-ALEXANDER – The Black Lives Matter movement has been so effective at drawing attention to the epidemic of police killings of African Americans that the issue has become a Presidential election talking point. It is raised during debates and covered in the news.

Yet in practical terms, there seem to be no uptick in violent cops being indicted, charged, or convicted for their crimes even when killings are caught on video. Could it be that the justice system is rigged in favor of police and against African Americans?
