Get ready for a wild ride.

CW: this gets racist quicklyThe secondary antagonist - Levon Williams, wants to kick start a race war so he convinced a child to point a toy gun at the cop because he knows that the police officer would have no choice but to murder a (I think 10 year old, might be younger) kid.

At the same time he spreads word around the black community of Detroit so that they pour out of the woodwork immediately after the cop kills the kid so they can all be witnesses, while at the same time destroying all but one CCTV camera because if the murder is caught on any other camera people would see that the cop was in the right.

He then uses his newfound influence as the figurehead of the protests to get his crack dealing, civil rights mentor assassinated so that he can leverage his death into becoming mayor of Detroit on account of being the only one able to control the violent mob of BLM thugs.

This gives Levon the political power to lower minimum IQ on police requirements so black people can join the Detroit police, so that he can use them to cut power to the suburbs and lynch white people.

I love how it's just implicit that a cop killing a child with a toy gun is morally correct.

you know I didn't expect it to get more racist at the end. I was expecting the level of racism up until the end when wow

There's a scene after Levon has his mentor killed but before he becomes mayor where the protesters are stopping the cop that killed the kid from being released from prison by surrounding it.

All hope is lost until a mob of bikers led by an anti-enviromentalist terrorist ride in wearing shirts emblazoned with a racist slogan (something along the lines of "kill all thugs") the bikers fire on the protesters, starting a riot.

This is all, of course, played as the bikers being heroes rescuing an innocent man from a lynch mob

still can't get over the fact the protagonist actually murders a child in this movie

The narrative is split between four main characters, all but one of them is directly responsible for a child's death. Truly a book of all time.
