Upfront - I am Australian.
Yes, this documentary was largely one sided but any discerning person can tell that the police's behaviour during the various incidents, and in their subsequent interviews and court appearances was deplorable.
But, in their defence ...
If America had sensible gun control laws like the rest of the first world countries, the police probably would behave differently and often would not be put in these situations to start with.
So whilst the documentary is mainly trying to blame the police for the specific incidents described a broader perspective, which was not considered in the documentary, could assign blame to American society as a whole.
