Movies about "injustice"

My brother sent me a note from Netflix about "Rules of Engagement". A doc about Waco and the Brand Davidians. His note was somewhat sympathetic to the Davidians, I responded.


I think i may have seen this, but I have seen a bunch of stuff on this and the thing that is often downplayed is the Koresh and his followers killed 4 Federal agents weeks before the government moved in and burned the place. Koresh was a nut job, pedophile and murderer who did EVERYTHING he could to ensure that he and his followers died martyrs (even if it meant shooting them himself or making sure they didn't leave). this wasn't about religion or even about guns. Once you kill multiple federal agents ...I'd say all bets are off. He was given a month and a half to surrender.

If you want to really see a true abuse of Federal Power, check out the Randy Weaver case in idaho.

Everyone groups these two incidents together, but in my mind they are vastly different. They get grouped in the same way Leonard Peltier and Mumia Abu Jamal get grouped. The Davidians and Weaver grouped by groups who try to prove that the government hates religion and guns, the militia types. And Mumia and Peltier get grouped by the far left who try to prove the government hates minorities.

Peltier, I think is innocent. Well at least not guilty of what he's been accused of. I've seen the research and there is definetly reasonable doubt there. As for Mumia, and I know you're a fan, all the evidence supporting his "innocence" is that the cops, judge, the world is racist. No shit, but I don't know that I've ever heard him or his followers show that he was somewhere else or actually innocent. Only that the trial was racist. Just like Mark Furman being a racist doesn't mean that OJ is innocent, a racist system doesn't prove you didn't kill someone.
