Flint Town on the Netflix. A sobering look at policing Flint, MI. In a David Simon theme. Sad in parts, you have to remind yourself that it's the richest country in the world you're watching. Told from the perspective of the overstretched and underfunded police force, but far from flattering, but again not without sympathy for people doing a hard job in hard times, with little support and training, and caught up in petty city hall politicking for points. The same politics that gave them poisoned water to save a buck. Shades in the nuances of the racist cops shoot black people narrative with a story far more complex. The horrorshow is, of course, the entirely abandoned black community, awash with drugs and guns, constantly brutalized, and a dearth of hope for anything better. The sort of streets the American Dream dies bloodied on every couple of nights. Pitches it into the election battle that saw Trump crowned, and truthfully you can see why people went that way, the false appeal of simple solutions to complex problems.
