If Al Pacino is in it, it has to be realistic. I'm with you guys.

Serpico's a brilliant movie all right.

Shame on all of you its on netflix for godsakes.

It is a great movie. Realistically implanting that in our police force? It could happen I guess, but it'd take several years.

Oh ok I miss read that.

Pacino's a little old to be taking on law enforcement now though isn't he?

Moral of the story: Two black lives equals one white police officer's life. Bull****.

I'm not sure where you got that. I don't think he said that; he's just responding to the question as to why the murder of a police officer is prosecuted more diligently and carries higher penalties (ie death) than "ordinary" murders.

So in every picture I see of the shooter he looks a little "off". Everyone that's being interviewed who knew him from school, etc. is saying he was a little "off".
And he's been spouting hate rhetoric for quite some time.

Yet Dad buys him a .45 handgun for his birthday recently.
