Santa Barbara Police - An ACAB Nonfiction Novel
First up, to make sure we acknowledge that this lovely show is set at a police precinct, read a book that educates you on the problems with how  police works in America and police brutality. ACAB! This can be a book on defunding the police, a memoir about someone who has experienced police brutality, whatever you want as long as it helps educate you.
