Offensive or Nah? CNN Segment Surprised ‘Straight Outta Compton’ Had No Violence [VIDEO]

The segment also included CNN law enforcement analyst Cedric Alexander to discuss the reaction to the film.

There are some police organizations that are calling on people — members and maybe even beyond their members — not to see this movie because of the message they think it sends. We really have to get away from this whole ‘f the police’ to ‘support the police.’

See the full segment below.

Check out a few Tweets, criticizing the segment.

CNN surprised Straight Outta Compton had long lines but no violence. Black people actually go to movies to watch them.

Cnn’s headline right now “Hip Hop film had long lines no violence”. A telling phrase isn’t it? #StraightOuttaCompton

Watching @CNN and they are reporting no violence occurred during the opening week for Straight Outta Compton. Why is that expected?
