Praise for Police Brutality

“This collection of analysts on the subject of police brutality is not only timely, but explores and exposes the sickness of this unbalanced, uncivilized Western pastime thoroughly.”

—Chuck D, author of Fight the Power: Rap, Race, and Reality

“The anthology both explains how America came to this pass and offers practical solutions for extricating it from the morass.”

—Village Voice

“Beyond being timely, this work provides a brilliant historical overview of police brutality that the more recent victims and protesters need in order to connect them to the larger struggle that individuals like myself have been battling for decades. Along with connecting the young to the old, probably the most powerful element of Nelson’s work is how it connects police brutality to the overriding issue of institutionalized racism in America. Not only is this book a must read, it’s a must study for anyone concerned with equality for all.”
