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

5.0

Informative and factual essay collection surrounding systemic racism and police brutality within America. Not only does it focus on the black American struggles, but on Indigenous, LGBTQ+, and Asian communities. The first half covers different topics, and using facts and examples, portrays the realities of the American justice system and how history and racism plays a part. The second half covers organizations and strategies to alternative protection measures. Easy to understand and accessible for individuals living outside America who are not familiar with the political justice system. Definitely an eye opener that is worth the read. If anyone tells you that police brutality to certain communities is not real, shove this in their faces. They’ll see just how many cases of injustice comes from policeman in America, and how these systems are in place to protect and yet are failing horribly.
