Synopsis[edit]

The film takes a look at the shooting of Jordan Davis, an African-American teenager who was shot by Michael Dunn on November 23, 2012, at a gas station in Jacksonville, Florida. The shooting was sparked by an argument between Dunn and Davis over loud rap music and Dunn would later claim in court that he believed that Davis possessed a shotgun and was going to harm him. In the film Silver examines the shooting as well as the subsequent trial, media coverage and protests that resulted from the shooting, especially those stemming from the Black Lives Matter movement.

The film's title refers to the time between when Dunn pulled into the parking spot next to the vehicle Davis was in (seen as 7:30-7:33 PM), and how many bullets were fired (Approximately 10, from Dunn's Taurus PT 99 AF).[3]

Production[edit]

Plans to create the documentary began when producer Minette Nelson read a 2013 Rolling Stone article about the case and Florida's stand-your-ground laws.[3] She contacted Silver and asked him to serve as the film's director. Through family lawyer John Michael Phillips, Nelson and Silver met Jordan's parents Ron Davis and Lucy McBath. He became interested in the documentary after meeting the family and noting the short amount of time between Dunn's arrival and the shooting, as he felt that the three and a half minutes could be understood in two different ways: 'On the one level, through the court system, you would understand what happened during those three-and-a-half minutes in a very pragmatic way. Then [you have] what really happened in those moments on a bigger, more conceptual level.'[3]

Filming took place in Jacksonville, Florida, over a nine-month period in 2013, primarily using a Canon C100.[3] Silver and his crew gained permission to film the Dunn trial, but only if they did not film the jury, as this could have resulted in a mistrial. They agreed, and filmed the trial from the back of the courtroom.[3]

Release[edit]

The film premiered in the US Documentary Competition at Sundance in 2015.[4] After screenings, the film was bought by HBO, to be aired in the late fall of 2015.[5] The official trailer for the film was released on YouTube on August 25, 2015,[6] and the film aired on HBO on November 23, 2015 at 9 PM. It is currently available for viewing on Google Play.

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

The film received universal acclaim. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 100% rating based on 47 reviews, with an average rating of 7.65/10. The website's critical consensus reads, '3 And 1/2 Minutes, 10 Bullets tells a gut-wrenching story in overall gripping fashion -- and wisely underplays its outrage, letting the details speak for themselves.'[7]Metacritic gave the film a weighted average score of 76/100 based on 19 reviews, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'.[8]

Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, saying 'The movie's meditative quality makes you feel for everyone involved in this tragedy—even Dunn, who seems very much a prisoner of fear and anger. Where a lot of documentaries would try to stir outrage, this one just leaves you shaking your head.'[9]Variety film critic Dennis Harvey also gave the film a positive review, noting 'Though there are a few odd gaps in the gripping pic, and/or perhaps in the trial itself.. the assembly is tight and accomplished on all levels.'[10]IndieWire film critic Aramide Tinubu gave a positive review, saying: 'More than seeking answers, [this documentary] sparks so many questions. It reminds us of what is broken in our country. It brings up questions of privilege as well as the constant, vicious, deeply rooted, fear and hatred, that many white people in this country still feel towards people of color.'[11]

'Round, Anti-Riot, 1.5in Baton' 37 mm British Army rubber bullet, as used in Northern Ireland from 1970-1975

Rubber bullets (also called rubber baton rounds) are a type of Baton round.[1] Despite the name, rubber bullets typically have either a metal core with a rubber coating, or are a homogeneous admixture with rubber being a minority component. They are a less lethal alternative to metal projectiles, but can still cause serious injuries such as blindness, permanent disability, and death.[2][3]

Like other similar projectiles made from plastic, wax, and wood, rubber bullets may be used for short range practice and animal control, but are most commonly associated with use in riot control and to disperse protests.[4][5][6]

Rubber bullets were invented by the British Ministry of Defence for use against rioters in Northern Ireland during The Troubles,[7] and were first used there in 1970.[8]

Rubber projectiles have largely been replaced by other materials, as rubber tends to bounce uncontrollably.[9]

Composition and physical properties[edit]

Analysis of the composition of the 'rubber' pellets used by Chilean police shows that 80% of the pellets is made up of hard substances, chiefly silica and barium sulfate, while rubber makes up 20%. The measured hardness of the 'rubber' pellets is 96.5 shore A.[10] The hardness of the pellets explain why 'exploded eyes' are so common in the 2019–2020 Chilean protests.[10]

The British developed rubber rounds—the 'Round, Anti-Riot, 1.5in Baton'—in 1970 for use against people in Northern Ireland.[11][12] A low power propelling charge gave them a muzzle velocity of about 60 m/s (200 ft/s) and maximum range of about 100 m (110 yd).'The round is generally deployed in low trajectories or skip fired in the general direction (non-target specific) of the intended targets,' causing pain but not injury, but is also intended to be direct fired at the discretion of the operator.[13][14][15] From 1970 to 1975, about 55,000 rubber bullets were fired by the British Army in Northern Ireland.[8] Often they were fired directly at people from close range, which resulted in three people being killed and many more being badly injured.[8] Among these injuries, a notable victim was Emma Groves who was blinded in one incident. In 1975, they were replaced by plastic bullets. In Northern Ireland over 35 years (1970–2005), about 125,000 rubber and plastic bullets were fired—an average of ten per day—causing 17 deaths.[16] Program logitech curve zoom button for mac.

The baton round was made available to British police forces outside Northern Ireland from 2001. In 2013 however, Ministry of Defence papers declassified from 1977 revealed it was aware rubber bullets were more dangerous than was publicly disclosed. The documents contained legal advice for the MoD to seek a settlement over a child who had been blinded in 1972, rather than go to court which would expose problems with the bullets and make it harder to fight future related cases. The papers stated that further tests would reveal serious problems with the bullets, including that they were tested 'in a shorter time than was ideal', that they 'could be lethal' and that they 'could and did cause serious injuries'.[17]

Israeli rubber bullets are produced in two main types. The older type, the standard rubber bullet, is a steel sphere coated in a thin layer of rubber, weighing 14 grams, while the newly improved rubber bullet, introduced in 1989, is a rubber-coated metal cylinder 1.7 cm in diameter, weighing 15.4grams.[18] Of the lethal injuries from this projectile, most are suffered to the head.[18]

Smaller rubber bullets are used in riot shotguns and are available in a variety of types. One company, for example, makes both rubber buckshot rounds, containing 15 8.3mm diameter rubber balls per cartridge, and rubber baton rounds, containing a single 4.75-gram projectile.[19]

Self-defense[edit]

In some countries, less-lethal guns that fire rubber projectiles may be used by civilians for self-defense.

  • Kazakhstan – The civil population and private security guards are allowed to carry less-lethal gas pistols with the ability to fire rubber bullets.
  • Romania – Rubber bullet guns are one of the few firearms that can be owned in the country by private individuals.
  • Russia – Since 1999, the civil population, private security officers, and law control forces in Russia are permitted to use less-lethal weapons.[20][21] A variety of handguns (OSA, 'Makarych', HORHE, etc.) are carried with specially weakened construction and barrel with internal lugs, making use of full-power loads and/or firing hard projectiles impossible, while rubber bullets just compress when passing the lug and so may be fired. Most common calibers are 9 mm and 10 mm with muzzle velocity sometimes almost matching normal handguns and bullets as light as 0.7 g.
  • Ukraine – Security guards may use less-lethal gas pistols with the ability to fire ammunition with rubber bullets.[22][23]

Recreational[edit]

Rubber bullets, powered only by primer, are usually used for short-range indoor target practice or training, generally with handguns. Review 9ap calculus. They are intended only for target shooting, unlike paintballs or airsoft pellets, which are intended for use on suitably protected live targets. Rubber bullets, if used with a suitable backstop, can be recovered undamaged after firing, and reused many times.[5][24]
