The Myth of Police Reform
The perspective and thoughtful analysis offered by Ta-Nehisi Coates, recent winner of the National Book Award and writer for The Atlantic, shed light on the complexities of race in America. As Ann Arbor Friends and others engage with the Ann Arbor Police Department in the wake of Aura Rosser’s shooting a year ago, some of Coates’ essays on the subject of police-community relations offer valuable insights. While awaiting permission to reprint a portion of an essay, Ministry and Counsel shares the following link to the full text: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/04/the-myth-of-police-reform/390057/.
