Join Anna Feigenbaum, David Correia and Tyler Wall for a in-depth discussion on the history of policing tactics, the language of policing, and the origins of police use of chemical weapons.
David Correia and Tyler Wall are the authors of Police: A Field Guide a handbook that reinvents and demystifies the language of policing in order to better prepare activists—and anyone with an open mind—on one of the key issues of our time: police brutality. In doing so, they begin to chart a future free of this violence—and of police.
