Black man with a knife on pcp gets shot by cops then becomes a saint.

While all filmmakers have a point of view, I think if there were any biases in "16 Shots," they are not overt, and I appreciated that. Of course there is no doubt that some people will disagree with this previous statement. This film covers an extremely polarizing event that took place in Chicago, and I recognize that it's hard to stay politically neutral. I consider myself pro-police, but I also thought the shooting of Laquan McDonald was dead wrong.

The other interesting tidbit in this movie was seeing a pre-Jussie Smollett version of Kim Foxx.

Honestly..this police officer should have been fired long before this incident took place. He had wayyy to many complaints of abuse of authority to still be on the street. But what angers me about these stories is that they clump ALL police officers in the same bubble when MOST police officers are good people who risk their lives daily. It's like saying EVERY doctor sucks because one had bad bedside manner. It's stupid! The other thing that angers me is the fact that they call this 17 year old "just a kid" who wanted to make people smile. Hello! He was breaking into cars that night and wielding a KNIFE! Not saying he deserved to die...I'm saying he was not an innocent child. If you are going to give the background of the officer....give the background of the MAN he shot!! It's dishonest!!
