Many people don't understand what the ending picture means. Let me briefly analyze it here. When Bell finally killed his enemy, the fat black policeman witnessed the whole process alone. Generally speaking, the American police must be in teams of two, this time there is only one person, no matter what the reason is, there is only one person anyway. Although he also tried to dissuade Bell from shooting, when Bell refused to persuade him and insisted on killing his enemy, the duty of the black police should be to stop him by means including killing Bell. At least he should fire his gun in the sky when Bell raised his gun. Fat Black didn't do this, nor did he see the scene of Bell being disarmed after the murder. It is certain that Bell was not convicted of intentional homicide with the help of Fat Black.
The key lies in Bell's follow-up story. Gorgeous furnishings and big desks, I guess Bell finally replaced the barkeeper's original position. A person who can't bear to shoot at wild animals, a guy who is willing to be a steelworker sits in such a position, what exactly does the director want to tell us, Out of the Furnace? No you can't.
