Do Not Resist (2016)
8/10
Rather chilling
8 June 2020
"Do Not Resist" is a documentary about the militarization of the police around the United States. And, like all good documentaries, it doesn't tell you what to think...there is no narration. Instead, it just shows video of the police and military hardware salesmen--in training, in riot control and in interviews. Then, it leads you to question why these cops need this sort of hardware...which is something which should concern us all.

Overall, this is a very good film that makes you think...and it does so without preaching or hyperbole. Instead, it just shows what is and asks folks to explain why and what they are doing.

By the way, I noticed that some reviews were NOT reviewing the quality of this film or its message. Instead, they were critiquing the police or making political statements or statements about race. Remember this before you simply accept their criticism of the film.
