We should demand better.
I spent January to May of 2000 studying abroad. During that time, many asked me about Abner Loima, Amadou Diallo, and Patrick Dorismond. A perception had developed that American police could kill and torture unarmed black men with impunity. I remember being angry and ashamed, angry that this was an impression others had [...]
