Do Not Resist Page #4

Synopsis: An urgent and powerful exploration of the rapid militarization of the police in the United States. Starting on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, as the community grapples with the death of Michael Brown, DO NOT RESIST - the directorial debut of Detropia cinematographer Craig Atkinson - offers a stunning look at the current state of policing in America and a glimpse into the future. The Tribeca Film Festival winner for Best Documentary puts viewers in the center of the action - from a ride-along with a South Carolina SWAT team and inside a police training seminar that teaches the importance of "righteous violence" to the floor of a congressional hearing on the proliferation of military equipment in small-town police departments - before exploring where controversial new technologies including predictive policing algorithms could lead the field next.

for a gram and a half that they

shook out the bottom of a book bag.

Wrong church, wrong people, wrong day...

Soon will be done, the

trouble of this world.

Repeat after me.

Emmanuel.

Emmanuel.

Repeat after me.

Emmanuel.

Emmanuel.

Emmanuel.

God is with us.

What's that?

Uh, visiting with

these six individuals...

And I've said this before.

When they describe

their youth and their childhood,

these are...

These are young people who

made mistakes that aren't that different

than the mistakes I made,

and the mistakes that

a lot of you guys make.

The difference is they did not have

the kind of support structures,

the second chances,

the resources,

that would allow them

to survive those mistakes.

And I think we have a

tendency sometimes to

take for granted or think it's normal

that so many young people

end up in our criminal justice system.

It's not normal.

What is normal is

young people making mistakes.

That's what strikes me.

Justice for Mike Brown!

Justice for Mike Brown!

Justice for Mike Brown!

Justice for Mike Brown!

Justice for Mike Brown!

Justice for Mike Brown!

Give me a U!

U!

Give me a S!

S!

Give me a T!

T!

You guys need to move up

and down the sidewalk

one way or the other.

Come on...

Hands up, don't shoot!

Hands up, don't shoot!

You must remain on the sidewalk!

You must continue to move!

If you stop, you will be arrested!

Keep moving, sir!

Sir, keep moving!

Stop!

What is going on, what happened?

- Yo, Rob!

- Off the street.

Respect us! Respect us!

Get out of the street!

Get out of the street!

Where's your badge number?

They don't have names, badges, nothing.

United we stand, divided we fall!

United we stand, divided we fall!

United we stand, divided we fall!

United we stand, divided we fall!

I'm the boss, motherf***er.

I tell you what to do,

you don't tell me.

I tell your ass to grow.

Grow!

We're getting

ready to go do a search warrant.

This is supposed to be a stash house.

There's missing 16 pistols

and three long guns still

from the burglary in Wintsville.

We'll recognize a lot of

people that have been

in Ferguson protesting, as well,

and a lot of these guys

all know each other,

so we're just worried that a

lot of these guns will end up

on the streets down there,

and will be used against us.

We're waiting

for the copy of the warrant.

Do you know how to get there?

No.

All right.

So what I'll do is we'll

pull it up on my phone,

on Carabella's phone.

We'll pass our phones around.

That way, no telling

how old the picture is.

We'll just work with what we have.

Google Maps.

We're gonna do Google mapping.

Got any numbers anywhere?

Yeah, I can't confirm it though.

They're too blurry.

It's 5759 though, right?

No.

Uh, dyslexia.

Hey Bruce, did you make it?

We'll be van correct, All right?

Carabella, one. Taylor's two. I'm three.

Poindexter's four. Dan

Lemon, five, with the pry,

Callahan, six.

Murphy, seven.

Brewster McCoy, ram and react, tack A.

Hey guys, this

is supposed to be a stash house.

They say these guys

store guns everywhere.

They find them in cereal boxes,

false floors, in the walls.

They think that a lot

of these are in the...

There's possibly a tote in the backyard.

First, Sarge, we're gonna knock right?

Knock first?

Yes.

All right, we're 11 minutes away from

the target house without traffic.

What a lovely morning.

Yeah, we're coming up.

If you look to your

immediate left right there just...

Hey, there's a car right there

out in front, the doors open.

Three on the porch, guys.

Three in the garage.

Oh, boy, they're gonna have runners.

Open that door. Open

that door all the way.

Hey, Sarge, pull all the

way up to the white car.

Pull 'em down to bypass.

Leave a guy on 'em, and go.

Yeah, three in the garage.

Three in the garage.

Get your hands up!

County police!

County police!

Get your hands up!

County police.

County police search warrant!

County Police search warrant!

Ah, my back.

Your back?

Oh, sh*t!

Hold on, hold on.

You can't do his body like that.

I'm trying to get him out of the rain.

Sarge, we're clear.

We're clear, Sarge.

Being the county police,

any municipality inside

of St. Louis County

or any of the federal

agencies can call us

and we'll come and execute

the search warrants.

This is a...

A federal case, we just

execute the search warrant,

clear the house and then

turn the scene over to them

as soon as the house is clear.

Is it right to

continue to kill African-American boys

and get no time?

Is it right to gun down

African-American

males just because

someone had a fit and decided

that they wanted to continue to shoot?

We already know the verdict.

We knew the verdict yesterday.

The grand jury deliberated

over two days,

making their final decision.

They determined that

no probable cause exists

to file any charge

against Officer Wilson

and returned a no-true bill

on each of the five indictments.

Residents of Ferguson, Missouri.

Get on to the sidewalk.

You need to get out of the street

or you will be subject to arrest.

Do it now.

Get onto the sidewalk!

Get on the sidewalk!

Stop trying to turn

over the police vehicle immediately.

They're throwing it on?

I'm not even in the street, dick!

We ain't even in the street!

Get out of the car!

It's sad!

You people!

It's just sad!

You people!

All these people that live here!

We're still f***ing dying! What

are they going to eat now?

We're still f***ing dying!

So starve the babies?

Where are they going to get baby food?

Where are they gonna get milk?

I've known you for a long

time, bro, a long time!

Since you were this big.

Ya'll still killing us!

Twenty-five years

I've been here.

Twenty-five years years here,

I've never killed a man!

All right, back up.

You need to

return to your vehicles immediately.

Move, move!

Move!

I'm sitting out here right

by my motherfucking house.

This is some bullshit

out there, ya'll. Bullshit.

Come on.

I don't hate you, bro.

Come on.

You know the truth.

I don't hate you though.

All right, brother.

I know families need to live.

Move, move!

Back up!

Back up!

Where do you want me

to back up to? Back up!

What happened in Ferguson,

the actual practice of how the

demonstrations were handled,

I think we're all embarrassed by it,

quite frankly, in law enforcement.

I sat there aghast watching it.

You know, the simplest issue

of the use of tear gas.

In my book, if you fire tear

gas, you've got a riot now.

You don't have a demonstration.

So...

I don't know if there's a uh...

I guess I have to be

sensitive when I say this.

If there's a political gain

in some communities

for handling

different events in different fashions.

Uh, Danny Brown?

What I want to

say I did 19 years in prison

for a murder I didn't commit

and I'm still fighting.

I've been out since 2001.

When I got out in 2001,

they were having riots

right up here in Cincinnati
