Does it matter that the data completely refutes Smiths claims?

In fact the data show stronger policing, and longer sentences for criminals, results in more opportunity, and more class mobility for people in violent and impoverished urban neighborhoods. The data also confirm that crime, with minority victims, INCREASES with any reduction in policing and arrest/imprisonment rates of criminals from those neighborhoods.As far as Freddy Gray, this film was made before all the police were acquitted of the ridiculous charges -- and acquitted by juries that were mostly African American.

If you want respect, show respect

I was disturbed by the use of the term "paddy wagon" throughout the film, particularly in the recounting of Freddie Gray's ordeal. This term is very derogatory to people of Irish descent and should not be used EVER. I think the actor thought it meant the police vehicle was "padded." A very ignorant assumption. Do your homework and show some respect for other cultures!
