I am dumbfounded by how snuff films went from taboo to infotainment.

~30 years ago, the Rodney King beating and the movie Natural Born Killers were shocking.

Today, it's just another day.

Even 30 years ago, police violence against black men was just another day. The difference is you're now aware of the truth. That's a good thing. We can't learn from our mistakes until we're aware of them & can confront them without writing them off as merely a shocking outlier.

I wouldn't conflate movies and real life. A snuff film is not the truth. Woody Harrelson is not a murderer, Derek Chauvin is.
