Violence

Violence dominates life, especially in poor, black neighborhoods. Martijn and Finbarr are in 'murder capital' Memphis. Here they follow a group of bounty hunters who try to arrest people because they still have outstanding sentences and fines. Martijn and Finbarr have an awkward conversation with the McCloskys, a deeply conservative lawyer couple who chased Black Lives demonstrators from their front yard with automatic weapons. In Fergusson they join a police patrol led by a black police officer. They meet a man who was stopped and treated racist so many times that he decided to join the police.
