Carl Cooper's stupid actions


It is ironic that Carl Cooper is the person who decides to show the girls how racist the Detroit cops are. He then uses the same pistol to fire at the police and triggering off the whole nightmare at the Algiers Hotel. Talk about a self fulfilling prophecy!

It was an awful move on his part, one that i'm sure he regretted very soon after, but still it's extremely unfortunate that it snowballed the way it did.

I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here-https://youtu.be/uMrky7pGk5w

That was also pretty contradictory since Carl denounces police behaviour but at the same he triggers it. That character was so dumb:

1. Playing tough guy with a toy gun;
2. Staging his friend's death;
3. Firing not one but several shots at the ... army (wth!?);
4. Doesn't understand why the cops came while it was obvious because he shot them;
5. Run like a sissy while he was playing tough guy all night long;
6. First to run;

It was like the director wanted to justify his Killing by the police.
