It's sad that people have come to rate this series based on political rhetoric instead of taking the time to watch and learn. Episode 5 goes further to describe interactions between black people and police/vigilantes and humanizes the victims unlike the demonization that typically happens in the media and from police reports. The episode discusses the history of policing with origins from slavery and the empowerment of white people to question black people for being in places white people don't feel black people belong. My only critique of the series is related to the cinematography during the interviews (shaky cam).
