Flint Town (Netflix) docuseries -- premieres 3/2/18

In the aftermath of the Flint water crisis, Flint Town takes an intimate look at the state of policing in America through the lens of the Flint Police Department. Flint, Mich. is consistently named one of the most violent cities in America and the community is still grappling with the coverup of a citywide water contamination, leading to a massive distrust in law enforcement officials. Over the course of eight episodes, filmmakers embed with the police officers faced with infrastructure issues and decreasing resources as they risk their lives to protect and serve the community, while simultaneously struggling to gain their support. Flint Town is produced in association with Anonymous Content; executive producers are Steve Golin, David Pritikin and P.G. Morgan; co-directors are Zackary Canepari, Jessica Dimmock and Drea Cooper.

I've only watched a bit of this, but the grim situation residents of that city are living through is quite alarming.
In the first episode there's a scene where a man had to wait more than 24 hours for an officer to show up for an assault and robbery where he received 14 stitches after being slashed in the face. I know if that had happened in my relatively small town, the police response would've been immediate and there'd be a manhunt for the suspect.

I'm about 4 or 5 episodes into the series. So many vacant houses that should be torn down but they dont even have the money for it. the one lady officer is pretty hot, though, haha.

Finally got a chance to dig into this Series, after it being in my queue for quite a while.
About 6 Episodes in and I appreciate the Docuseries so many different citizens of Flint to speak honestly, whether they be concerned citizens who are victims of consistent violence or overtly Conservative Police Officers. That in itself keeps the Docuseries interesting for me, even if it is an uneasy viewing.
Having spent half of my life in Michigan (before moving to California) also keeps me watching, as I have memories of attending Metal/Punk Shows quite frequently at the Machine Shop in Flint.
