Just watched. Heart wrenching story. Please don't judge the family but put yourself in their shoes and the pain of losing a loved one and getting no justice for his murder.
Such a heartbreaking story. This happens so much these days. You wonder when is this injustice going to end.
Rickey Joyce When The Christ returns... no sooner or later
When we get rid of them and take responsibilities for ours judicial system. That’s when this will stop. They insist on upholding the law as they wish, not as it is written. They came here and formed government through being criminals. So, what do you expect? Breaking the law makes us criminals, but crimes against mankind make them criminals within the government.
Amazing Documentary. I hope the visibility of this ends up somehow getting this case reopened.
Its heart breaking to hear/watch stories like this! I cant understand how people can be so evil that they just gun down innocent people and there are no repercussions! Hell is here on earth! And the only justification for these murderers (including the justice system, those who are ignorant and those who turn a blind eye) is that they are not human they are monsters and demons and things that nightmares are made of!
This was beautifully filmed. Cant wait to see.
this looks like a extreme roller-coaster of emotions. im here for this intriguing documentary.💓😵
R.I.P to william ford..
I just hope it's a docu-series. But it only says documentary. I need a good 7-13hr binge on a conspiracy.
this happens a lot on long island... i'm glad this film was made
Movie was so sad for real. William and his family suffered a great injustice. Then the dad, I believe suffered a stroke because the loss of his son. The mother fought a good fight with life in general. Lord I pray justice and peace will come over even though they may never live to see it.🙏🏻
Amen
For the people who say this has nothing to do with race let's talk about the John White case. John White was a 56 year old black man who lived in Long Island. His teenage son was attending a party with friends who were white. Three white teens came to his house to confront him over allegations that he did something bad to a white girl. The black teen was obviously scared. There were three teens ready to fight him for what he did or did not do to a white girl. Mr. John white went outside with a gun and started shooting. This evetunally lead to a 17 year old white boy being killed.
Did Mr white get the same self defense claim used in this case.? Hell no. They put him in prison until Governor Paterson felt bad and pardon him. I remember watching the news at the time and white people were protesting to lock Mr.White up. White people why was Mr.White not treated like the shooter in this case?
murderer, simple
I just watched this documentary with my family which included my elderly parents. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. My heart absolutely breaks for this family. It's gut wrenching sad on so many levels. I can't imagine anyone watching this and not feeling this families pain. Loss and grief will bring you to your knees no matter what color you are. Then add the pain of not having justice for your loved one. We all can understand that right?
They're a family of racists, who want to blame whitey for everything, instead of themselves for raising an emotional thug.
As a middle aged white woman born and living in a city of Canada
with European ancestors who were once immigrants and came to Canada on
their own free will, I see racism, bigotry, ignorance and violence happening
too often against all people. Sadly for me, even from those who I was
once close to. However because of where I live, it’s my experience of
having seen more racism toward aboriginals and speaking up for one
problem does not diminish the problem any of the harm too many others
receive.
It is also my experience from the places I’ve been, people I know,
things I’ve read and watched to say that the ‘western world’ is
disconnected and this is largely what is causing so much ignorance and
violence here. I have a love hate relationship with living in this
western world. Hate for the disconnection, ignorance and violence. Love
for the opportunities at hand, evolution into pop culture and for the
few people that have empathy, patience, nurturing heart and more and who
help the so many others in need and will stand up for anyone. There
are more of these types of people in the ‘eastern world’ because the
many great cultures there are connected in a variety of different ways.
Their bonds are strong as are their hearts and actions for each other.
Any time I see or hear such garbage, I speak up. Anyone who has had to
deal with racism,
bigotry, bullying or any kind of ignorance or violence, should speak up
and/or take proper action against the ignorant and violent at anytime
they feel they want to. Sadly it seems only those who have other
connections and strong supports feel capable of speaking or standing
up. This documentary is not something a person who’s gone through such
horrific events would want to repeat by televising it but would to open
the world’s eyes to a very important and horrific problem that spans the
world. The ignorant are blissful because they choose to live a life of
denial with little to no reality. The world needs to learn to hold
everyone accountable properly for their words and actions and for those
and what they are responsible for.
Let there be Total Justice for William Ford and his Family!
This is gonna be a great documentary. I will be watching.
Powerful and moving.
My cousin Derrick Landis was murdered by his best friend brother. His best friend family disliked blacks and it was history of them just taunting him because him and Erin where friends. One Saturday afternoon he came passed her house to pick her up but when he arrived at the door her mother screamed and yelled at him for being there, well her brother heard the commotion so he joined in with his mother and then soon told my cousin to leave, as he was walking back to his car her brother struck my cousin in the back of his head with a bat. Because he didn't see him coming he was unable to flinch or break his fall causing him to crack his skull. The brother was given a 6 month house arrest and served zero time in jail. This happened in Philadelphia in the Northeast area I think 1994, Again my cousin name was Derrick Landis
He must have accepted a plea bargain. The killer could argue it was self-defense, because your friend refused to leave. If just one juror agrees, it's a mistrial, and he walks. It was the best the state could do. Defendants have all the rights, as well they should.
Ugly Truthist
My cousin was harmless and non violent. He was waiting on his friend who told him to come there. The son and mother was being extra because cousin and Erin have been friend's for ever.
I'm not doubting that story. What I'm telling you is how it would play-out in a courtroom, which is all that really matters. It's not about race, or right and wrong. It's about the law. The state would have to prove your friend was harmless, which would be very difficult to do. The defense has the whole family to testify for him. If your friend had a criminal record, a jury won't buy that he was harmless.
Ugly Truthist
It was my cousin, he did not have any criminal record, A student from 6th grade to 12th, never used drugs or drank...My cousin was harmless, soft spoken but he was raised around all whites. No one in my entire Family from 5 generation have EVER been involved with the law. We are the only Black Landis's in the entire world. Our 5x great grandparents came from the Withers plantation in North Carolina. The author Legette Blythe wrote a book about my 4x great grand father and how he lived as a share cropper and builder, what im trying to say. Our family has no roots of sterotypical "blacks " I'm telling you my cousin Ricky was beautiful and harmless
Ugly Truthist interpretation =he is black he is a thug and it has to have been his fault because we white Folks are angelic.
this Netflix documentary is soooooooooo sad:( depressing and heartbreaking....
this comment section should be deactivated, it's disgusting
This was such a heartbreaking & infuriating documentary 🤬
@Lochness Monsta what do you mean
TIME FOR HUMANITY TO UNITE!
i cried alot while watching this documentary. Horrible just horrible i feel so sorry for his mother and the whole family. I wish all the best for the whole family sometimes people can be so cruel and life so unfair.
William was my moms best friend growing up, this is how she found out he died. Sad to find out isn't it.
This is on RUclips now for free
sounds about Long Island
I am Asian but I 100% believe this families story and the injustice. Currently living in a rural part of FL with mostly old White people as the population and let me tell you....!!! We go get groceries and run back home. The looks, the smirks etc etc etc is uncomfortable. But I also work in healthcare and see that the boomer generation is all dying off so we are just holding off for now. Once they all die off, the younger generation will move here and it will be more Diverse-!!
Feel so badly for this family and many more that go through this including myself.

the trailer does not do justice for this excellent film
First of all I don't know what this is about other then a mom + dad lost their kid in a violent manner. After that, everyone stop, listen and learn. My goodness.
I wanted to like this documentary.
It was a great documentary
Character over colour. That is right. Didn’t work here. Heartbreaking. This was 1992. Not 1892.
@Diamond Diaz your mean the justice system works , if you have enough green to cover one's black ...OJ SIMPSON!
According to Mr. Williams best friend two days before Williams was at the garage throwing stuff around vacuum cleaner car door then left upset returned two days later started arguing with the owner of the garage was ready to leave and saw the 19-year-old Riley come to the front door of the garage Riley looked at Williams and went back into the garage Williams then says to his best friend that's the guy who cursed out to my mom then went into the garage afterRiley then gets shot.in the documentary Williams best friend says that Riley had other options he could've ran out the back door?
If Riley was not in any danger why would he have to run out the back door he is in his place of business.
This comment was made by William best friend because Williams best friend saw how angry Williams was.
And he knows that Williams was going after this kid. In the documentary right before the argument with the garage owner Williams best friend says oh god here we go again.
It's sad that someone was killed over a few words but I feel that if somebody goes after you and your home or in your place of business you have a right to defend yourself doesn't matter if the person is on armed or not this was a 240 pound man going after a skinny little 19-year-old kid I'm pretty sure that kid was terrified. Williams should've called it a night went home and calm down he would still be alive today it's Bretz friend said that he was a big guy and very intimidating .this is the one time that his size and intimidation methods got him killed
Eddie Berrios fuck you
Eddie Berrios - bull shit he was not 240lbs , he was 5ft 8 and 180lbs so stop the BULLSHIT white lies ! You people are historically liars , just ask the natives , the Japanese , the slaves of America , the billion Arabs , the south Americans & the Mexicans !
@@cozycool3505 he was 5'8 and 220. She read his weight from his journal
Eddie Berrios how stupid are you
This is why you take the Law into your own hands. Revenge is sweeter than any cheesecake or apple pie ! .... excuse me while I finish my cheesecake! Lol
Rise up!
Was so good
Deberian agregar la pelicula "El conjuro"
Looks powerful
He doesn’t want to discuss his prior cases with anybody. And you tell that to A family who lost a loved one. The audacity. Smh…
Ima watch this just because it's based off my home area. And i saw the name of my hometown in the trailer.
Just curious. Do you feel like Long Island has a segregation problem? I just want you input.
That's right.
My list of Netflix shows/movies to watch to get you highly upset and this one just got added to the list:
The Confession Tapes
13th
The Keepers
Making a Murderer
Time/The Kaleif Browder Story
Icarus(if you're into knowing how the Olympics was won)
If there is someone who watched it please tell me how was it.
I watched it, I think you should watch it as well. I will not spoil it for you but it's worth watching.
@@feliciagrafton3146 then i will watch it, thank u❤👍👍👍
@ sam roro Let me know what you think after you watch it.
@@feliciagrafton3146 it may take time cs now im in a middle of tests but i.will tell u when i watch it😂👍👍
A film about a tragedy that falsely tries to make a case that there was some serious injustice. Which in itself is yet another tragedy ... because it seems like the filmmaker just cant see past her obvious bias
black is beautiful
white is pride
be black and proud
every race is beautiful
youre beautiful
white too
It looks good and hopefully it will be nothing but the truth
Looks interesting...
wow
started watching this show thinking, poor young black guy turns up at a garage and gets murdered by racists for nothing more than the colour of his skin. i certainly didnt think that by the end. i dont think this girl should ever have made this documentary. if she was trying to convince me this was a racist murder, she has done the opposite. its not till near the end of the doc that we find out this guy had been to the garage previously and been quite violent so who could really say that when he returned and again went after the same guy, that guy didnt fear that he was there to finish the job this time? sorry but thats a huge leap of faith. again, while stupidly making this documentary why would the sister interview her dead brothers best friend and then leave in his line "yea me and your brother went out all the time looking for trouble and girls. 90% trouble 10% girls". this hardly tallies with the squeaky clean image your trying to portray about him. ive seen a lot of documentaries with genuine racism, police cover up etc but this certainly wasnt one of them. all i took away from this was a sister trying to ease her own guilt about not stopping her brother going back to a place were she knew he had been violent previously. not a lot else.
That's EXACTLY how I thought of this movie. An angry lesbian refused to believe her brother was a BULLY and went twice into someone else's property who was only defending himself.
So your racism and transphobia is showing
Well put Michelob ... I had the exact same impression from this film ... I was actually thinking initially that there would be some serious injustice to learn from ... but it was self defense (American style) ... I mean yeah that doesn't happen as much up here in Canada simply because we dont have guns everywhere up here ... if she wanted to make a point about guns .. sure... but that wasn't what it was about .. its tragic, yes ... but it seemed justified according to American law to me ... even with as much bias as this filmmaker could garnish... it's still just a tragedy ... not an injustice.
William was trying to protect his mom after that white dude threatened his mom
You should create a uploader side to netflix, you could make restrictions based off of age so you would be doing something youtube isnt.. the start up will be rough with all of the people on youtube but with all this crap youtube is pulling and the large quantitie of people on youtube and on Netflix (includes me), they will fade away from youtube.. this can also make for new people and new types of content to become bigger. RUclips probably has pattens on lots of things so instead of subscribers it could be something like NetScribs or smt and it could be formatted much diffrent then youtube but in a way just as easy to maneuver.
Hope you are able to respond to this message
I understand that their may be some more technical sides to this idea that would make sense to not get into this game
Just an idea
I was a bit perplexed about Barbra's remarks regarding "too many blacks in her new neighborhood". Why was that a problem to her? The irony is a non-black man killed her son outside of the all-black neighborhood.
Yance did a great job in telling this story, the damage caused by the death of her brother, that is often times overlooked by non-black people. They seem to think we don't love our family members as much as they do theirs.
Stuff like this heartbreaks me. I'm glad since that time we've come a long way on racism. But as long as we live we will have this problem. Everyone should give everyone equal treatment. As a white male I personally believe their are more better African Americans in the world then white people. They are tougher, and will fight for what they believe in. I wish the whole word could look at heart and not color. Rest In Peace and I'm looking forward to watching this series ❤️
Yooo is this a docuseries, because after watching Making a Murderer, and The Keeps, my appetite is craving for another docuseries about crime and gov't cover up.
And no I don't sit there watching like I believe every single detail, it's just fucking entertaining.
I personally don't enjoy the premise of this movie simply because they didn't choose a good storyline to show that racism is still alive and well. The exact same scenario would've most likely played out had it been two black men or two white men. It's not a Trevon Martin story, which is something I would've liked to see. There was a much better way to make this movie.
discrimination is every where .........somewhere high and somewhere low......in many forms .....in many types
o.m.g
damn
I really wanted to like this but it was more than twice as long as it needed to be. There was almost no "investigation " as the documentary was described. A ton of silent gaps and scenes of stuff that wasn't relevant. This whole film could have been done in a 30 minute episode and it would have been a better watch. The whole thing was basically telling a story not investigating. Not sure how this got such great ratings.
I thought the same thing this is a 1:30 when it could’ve been 40 mins
WE WAS KINGS!!! AND STILL ARE KINGS!!!
99% "every comment is from an nazi" 1% talks about the trailer.....
You gotta be respectful to cops don't raise your voice yell at them . I got pulled over last week I'm Blk guess what. The cop let me go no ticket nothing stop complaining that every cop is bad. Lock up a cop if he is bad cop or fire him.
Saying you need to be respectful to cops so you don't get killed is the same as telling a woman to dress appropriately so she doesn't get raped.... Just saying
If a 240 pound 6ft 2 white man argued with a 19 yearl old black man at his work place, became aggressive and began throwing objects around, returned days later and chased him into his work place and was shot by the black man. Would that be self defence ?
He was baiting him dummy, there's a reason why his sister he was finally standing up for himself because this whole time they were trying to intimidate him
yes
5'8 220 pounds smh
i know where mark Relliy lives, hes right down the road from me...
Steve Sar So?
OJ got off because of Racial bias. But I don't hear you nitizerangs whining about that.
This horrid ugly term you use says more about you than any comment you could ever care to make. You're getting sick of it? Hmmm.....sounds just like whining to me. Awwww...poor pup.
Black men in this country are killed beyond my understanding. Why does this have to happen. What's wrong with black men why are they being targeted so much? It's so PAINFUL
#fallinginlovewithnetflixagain!
I expected some big injustice. The guy tried to attack someone chased him into their garage and got shot. Don't attack strangers black people or you might get shot.

Please release a Season 2 of Hip Hop Evolution Netflix. There are still so many branches to explore.
First
Dos Palacio good for you...
Fucn mrka
Note to self... Don't walk into someone else place of business threatening to beat their ass and NOT expect to be shot.
Are you serious? Gtfoh you’re literally disgusting.
Note to self , don’t be black in Murikkka
Unless your white it works , my friend told me he got 20 days for stealing a car . When he went to jail he was the only white guy there! hmmm!
@dee pinn
They also have the highest exoneration rates, after false convictions, than any other race.
massa
Seriously?
Reminds me of The Hate U Giive.. so unfair this life
the worst thing about america is it promotes itself as a fair place.
Isn't saying this is racist racist? Anyway, everyone in this movie seems to speak in slow motion, particularly the sister and mother. It was very difficult to get through. Really boring.
I just watched it, feel bad for the family as they lost someone they love. I’m still a little confused as to the overall premise of racial inequality, in this particular case. But I completely get why the film makers packaged it as such. It’s the sole reason this’s even on Netflix
I feel very sorry for the family and the suffering endured from the loss. On the other hand this guy shows up throwing stuff and grabbing hammers, threatening people at the shop, then comes back after they got the car back saying hes going to get them shut down, catches a glimpse of guy hes mad at and goes inside the shop after him, Gets shot, then it turns into white people are rascist and they got treated unfairly beacuse they are black. You cant go to places threatening people, come back afterwards, go after somebody and then claim its because hes black that nothing happened. Its terrible what happened but come on now. Seriously
So true, its brainwashing... Netflix documentaries often are Like this.
The dude who shot him was some white kid who cursed his mother
@@dylanbroomes5597 yea that doesn't really matter because that doesn't validate any of his actions to bring it to that point, nor him being white. If everybody acted like a nutjob over that there wouldn't be many people left in the world. Nice try wrong guy.
The film should not be seen as an indictment of race relations, especially grouping it into the BLACK LIVES MATTER movement. This was a tragedy of conflict between two people that knew each other, which destroyed an entire family. This was NOT a police shooting. The injustice happened that sometimes happens when the legal system is following of the letter of the law. The law failed this family, and the human need to find a "reason" and "someone to blame" has made this a racial matter. People should not use their hurt and anger to become a mob mentality to "blame" a particular group. It was a conflict between two men, and it turned to violence, which is very sad. It could have happened between any two men of any combination of races.... The legal result would have ended the same....
everything g a black person does in your country is based on race . Walk into an elevator and the fear starts from there! if say hello you might be treated as a human!
You missed the whole point of this film & truly don't understand the deeper meaning. When it comes to Black People in America, it's always about being Black having a human experience & being judged & treated by the color of your skin.
ksi what you doin there
Just a question but wasn’t the dude that pulled the gun protected by self defense? I agree justice needs to be served but did I miss something?
Chuuuse guy with the gun was not charged due to self defense. Police used the previous altercation as supporting evidence that William intended to do harm.
The dude kinda started it by talking shit about William's mom
RECEIVE the greatest gift...
Jesus, I come to you as a sinner in need of your forgiveness. I believe you are the Son of God. I believe you went to the cross, died in my place, paying my sin debt. That you were buried & rose on the 3rd day to everlasting life. Jesus, right now, I choose to receive you as my Savior; trusting in you alone for my salvation. Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for your GIFT of eternal life in Heaven. Amen!
Jesus doesn't stop devils from killing my people.
What the f*** has Jesus to do with this. Who cares if you're a sinner! Not only that programs like this enhance racism, add religion to it to make it even worse.
@@Niwde8411 free will stop blaming Jesus for the wicked hearts of humans

NO PIERDAN EL TIEMPO ⏳ ES EL PEOR DOCUMENTAL DE LA HISTORIA, ABURRIDO Y SOSO
I want to be a disenfranchised African-American when I grow up. It seems SO cool......
Toxic comment section as I expected. Anyway, I hope all Race groups have a nice day...All Lives Matter.
Same old story, Mortys killing Mortys
Feel better now?
Tragedy but unfortunately he got what he deserved he went to somebody's place of employment wanted to start a physical altercation with them trespassed walked inside of the business whether it was a garage or a gas station and got shot that's exactly what should have happened
Why do you have to go and hunt for these things?
A large black band comes into a garage and threatens people with a vacuum cleaner and a car door and then comes back a second time unannounced walks into the garage..all the way in where the guy is working and gets shot. That's called SELF DEFENSE
Just my opinion...William Jr. was a big guy who by his own friend's admission came a day that realized his size could be intimidating to people, and who used to go out "looking for trouble", It looks to me like he went into a wrong place trying to assault a smaller man for whatever reason and got shot, they didn't show much details about the shooting to say if it was true self defense but it sure looks like it, specially after the incident with the Corvette and everything that happened before.
I definitely think the shooter should have been changed with something and that's what's fucked up about it because it also looks like those guys were criminals. Feel bad for the family but I understand why the investigator couldn't do much.
By the way, I'm Mexican so don't start that racist crap.
as if mexicans cant be racist. yall make me laugh
If we can't get along after hundreds of years then let's segregate and put an end to this constant strife. I'm tired of hearing "diversity is our strength" when all the evidence proves it's nothing but problems. Non stop 24/7 racial crap in this country and it's not good for anybody.
The moment you realise the Netflix Propaganda...
I'm sorry for being born white, I'll try harder next time to be born Black.
Were you hired as a troll ?
We need more series like 13 reasons why
nope
Wilde Chaplin yep
yep
Sick of the race shit ! It's no wonder why america is so divided ....shit like this is constantly crammed down our throats ! Preciate ya +Netflix ! Gotta keep that racial tension going amirite DNC ?
who cares
This documentary was awful. If you’ve tried to attack me before, come to my home late at night and come at me, I’m defending myself, especially if you’re much larger than me. There was way too much irrelevant info throughout the film.
Don't care
