Very informative read. I liked the diversity of the different essays in this anthology. I think it touched upon very different aspects of police brutality and violence in many communities. I also enjoyed the practical ways that people have switched away from relying on the police and the essays on the different community building actions.
I highly recommend for anyone to be honest! Content warning: mention of various Black and Latinx folks who were killed by police and how they were killed. Really heavy content that is necessary to read, but a content warning in case you are particularly prone to distress from reading those things.
