It's not pretty, but it really happened this way.

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2017)

Well I finally got my hands on a copy of the new movie, "Detroit." It was supposed to be all about the 1967 Detroit riots which I remember very well. Only about 10% of the movie involved the riots itself. The rest was about the police brutality, including the State police and national guard. Justice gone terrible wrong. Lots of violence and some profanity. The movie was very riveting, and I never lost interest while watching it. Keep in mind that the movie is based on fact, and what you see really happened the way it was portrayed on screen. It was a time in our history when good people went bad. Those of us, like me, who were here in Michigan and lived through the 1967 Detroit riots ( which also spread to Pontiac and Saginaw) will get more from this movie then those who were not there. You can't white wash history. This was the way it really was during the dark days of this riot. From this perspective, it was a great movie.
