Apropos of nothing, here's a story from 2021 about #policeshootings that are less well known. https://www.themarshallproject.org/2021/08/13/shooting-first-and-asking-questions-later

"Former NFL quarterback #ColinKaepernick has released a vivid and timely account of why he famously took a knee in a three-part docuseries about what The Guardian has called 'America’s deadliest #police."

"Kaepernick is the executive producer of the chilling new Hulu show Killing County, which chronicles the deadly excessive use of force by the Bakersfield Police Department (BPD) and Kern County Sheriff’s Office." #PoliceViolence #PoliceShootings

Wandering through bookshops to buy a few Christmas presents I saw #TheTrees by #PercivalEverett featuring on the #bestseller lists. I was so disappointed in that book. *Loved* the opening chapters when it was shaping up to be a sharp, witty #policeprocedural with a cold eye on #Mississippi's and #USA's lynchings (wake-up line: "I see all #policeshootings as lynchings") but then it went all artsy and #magicalrealism and #losttheplot. Still, a #writertowatch @bookstodon

Sean Monterrosa was shot by an officer in an unmarked police car. At just 22, he became the 33rd person killed since 2000 by the Vallejo PD, which has killed more people per arrest than 97% of departments of a similar size.

My latest doc for VICE highlights the Vallejo PD's disturbing history of misconduct.
