Do you believe that American cops tend to be harsher on blacks?

Your question seems to me like you are trying to put in an awkward position. grin Nevertheless, I will say yes.

However, we get movies like this almost every year and it's almost becoming a genre about different black characters, but with the same end result. A white cop kills a black, there is an uproar in the black community and it ends. It's somehow losing its appeal to me and becoming a cliche. There are three scenes that I know was expected to create a powerful emotion in slim and queen that I felt nothing; the scene the kid killed a cop (this time, they decided to make it a black cop), the scene the two lead characters make love while other blacks protest and the scene where the two characters got betrayed and killed. I've seen scenes like this( if not in the same way) in past movies of the same kind and thus lost its appeal.

Sooner or later, movies like this will will become "Just another white cop killing a black and then uproar at the black community and it ends". I won't be surprised if people trying to watch them ask questions like "is it the hate you give cop kill black kind of movie or queen and slim kind or Fruitvale kind?".

I feel they need to explore and broaden the horizon of the way they tell these stories. Like looking into the police department in regards to what order were given and reasons for it, role of black cops when killing like this occurs, how about in relation to Hispanics who are also regarded as crime lords etc.

I still stated that the lethal force was not necessary yesterday, but they have clearly made up thier mind to cross the border or least go down as some kind of hero seeing they already had a cult following among the blacks. In all honesty what would you have suggested the police should have done?
A stun gun. Close in take-down. There's multiple options as long as someone isn't brandishing a projectile weapon.

At that time, marvel was learning, marvel was still a kid in primary school and DC was in University. But we were focused to be the best one day. And as you know, it paid off. We are the best in the world. angry

No one cares about a weapon, d fact that she decided to say something to Slim was against the American Police Department rule. "Incase of a convict on gunpoint, d convict is not allowed to speak or move except being ordered by d police." As a lawyer, Queen shud have known that. I'm not saying they shud have done that but the law is backing them up already, soooo....

I decided to watch this hyped Nollywood movie, and I was disappointed. This movie was trash, racist, tribalistic, boring cliche movie. The jokes were boring. This is the worst movie I have watched in my life. DC will be very jealous of this movie.

Then u are being bias, good critics don't care if you are still a baby in filmmaking. There are many filmmakers who won plenty awards for their first films and at that time, marvel had enough money to make a good film. U re not a fan of gud films but of Marvel films

I watched this 0/10 piece of nonsense movie because I watched to learn about Nigerian civil war. But at the end I learnt nothing.

The only good Nigerian movie in existence is October 1.

So on point again...but not complying with orders or been on the run will better this situation how?
Running won't improve the situation because at the end of the day, they are still cop killers, and white cops still want them planted 6 feet under... permanently, but it would be the wisest thing to do, under the circumstance, and might keep them alive a bit longer.

They were assumed to be carrying, which wasn't far from the truth, because they had the dead cops gun, though probably not present at that scene. They even pointed the same gun at a sheriff, in one scene, thus, they were deemed to be armed & dangerous & since they failed to comply to directives, lethal force was the only option.

In that case, they gave the cops cause to use deadly force on them.

Simply doing what an officer tells you, without anger and resentment, would simply save all this drama.. 

Yeah, but it's easier said than done. People are pretty volatile, esp when they feel they are in the right. When a confrontational situation arises, it's up to a cop's discretion and professionalism that such a volatile situation doesn't escalate.

A cop that doesn't follow protocol and chooses to follow a routine that best serve them, is a dangerous cop, and ought not to be anywhere near a police uniform.
