I believe this is a great opportunity to teach about racism...
Spelling corrected for the detailed folks.

(8,090 posts)A "movie"? Not even a little bit. How accurate is "a movie" going to be? It's too soon and too sensational. Maybe a documentary someday.

(7,413 posts)If you use deadly force in self-defense, you can technically be mistaken regarding the actual threat to your life. What is significant from a legal perspective is whether or not you actually believed there was a threat. George Zimmerman is a good example of this.
However when it comes to scenarios like carrying out a citizen's arrest, coming to the aid of another individual, or performing some sort of vigilante action, you better make damn sure you are right. You can't be mistaken in these cases.
These three knuckleheads were sorely mistaken.

I especially found his mother inspiring. Despite everything they threw at her boy, she continued to show up.
