This book is emotional and extremely relevant. As someone who has PTSD and personal trauma regarding violent trauma and police I found this book extremely relatable in many ways. The way the author describes grief and trauma and how flashbacks of traumatic events can sneak into your thoughts during normal life, the way that

the funeral for Khalil and the visions of him bleeding in the street, visions of Natasha’s body dropping after being shot, the nightmares, all of it

is all very accurate and can definitely be very triggering. I recommend this book for people who have trauma with police but please just be aware that it can be very triggering, I also recommend this book for anyone that has trouble understanding why people don’t trust the police, fear them, or even hate them, because this book could be very eye opening for you.
