‘Selma’ Director Ava DuVernay Launches Project to Promote Stories About Police Violence

Hollywood director Ava DuVernay’s entertainment company ARRAY is launching an initiative called the Law Enforcement Accountability Project, that will use art and artists to promote stories about police violence and publicize the names of police officers accused of misconduct.

“The stories around police abuse of black people who are unarmed and should not be killed is not being well-told when officers are able to just disappear into the ether,” DuVernay said in an interview with Reuters. “I can … rattle off 30 names of black people who have been murdered by police on film over the last five years, but I can’t tell you who killed them and I can’t tell you where those people are. I think that’s unacceptable.”

What about unarmed white people who were killed by police in recent years?

The guy shot in a hotel hallway?

The guy who had an officer kneel on his neck for 13 minutes while other officers made jokes about him being asleep and that it was time for school.

I can go on...

This: “publicize the names of police officers accused of misconduct” is 100% about convicting by claim and accusation, before any hearing, trial, investigation. And that whole sort of effort is done to create “guilt” of the police in the public mind, no matter how that image does not fit all the facts.

She also produced the fictional Netflix account of the Central Park Five, who were 100% guilty. It was as factual as any Leni Riefenstahl propaganda piece for Hitler.

Why not promote Stories about Black on Black Violence ... where the overwhelming number of real tragedies are.

Just another UnCaring Hollywood Whore

She’s illiterate. Perhaps she should read a newspaper sometimes, listen to the news, or go online for this information.

I’d like her to form a group that lists and describes the innocent victims of black criminals/crime, including the 3 year old and 13 year old kids shot and killed in Chicago last weekend.

For leftist black cop-haters, this is not an option.

Nine unarmed black men were killed by police in 2019. During the same time period over 7,000 black men were killed by other black men.
