Corey Stingley is seventeen when three white men pin him to the floor of a West Allis, Wisconsin convenience store on December 14, 2012, after he tries to shoplift a bottle of alcohol. An eyewitness says the men were "squeezing the hell out of him"; by the time police arrive he has stopped breathing, and he dies two weeks later from asphyxiation and brain damage. None of the three men are charged. VICE News follows Corey's father, Craig Stingley, as he pushes Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm to reopen the case, and sits with him in the quiet after a loss that never resolves into legal accountability. Security camera video from the store runs alongside audio of the men explaining what they did, letting the footage and the justification sit side by side. The film places the case inside West Allis's history as a segregated suburb, asking why three men who considered themselves good Samaritans faced no consequences for killing a black teenager over a bottle of liquor.
