Who Do You Serve, Who Do You Protect?: Police Violence and Resistance in the United States by Maya Schenwar

4.0

A solid anthology of analysis, reflections and ideas on how we can separate ourselves from policing at the individual and societal level. Scaling it will take time, but I’m open to thinking twice as to who I can call directly to deal with a problem in lieu of the police.

Based on the title and cover art, it would be easy for someone to assume that it’s full of radical approaches and “burn down police departments” sentiments, but each is filled with quite a bit of nuance, research, reflection on professional experience, and logic.
