Fantastic overview of all of the various broken components of American society that need fixing and how that will reduce the “need” for police to continue receiving bloated budgets.

Vitale covers the historical contexts just deeply enough to make the necessary points, and doesn’t weigh the text with detailed backstories. References provide further reading for those who are interested in deeper dives.

Very accessible language, and examples and historical references are a good mix of household name events/names as well as slightly more obscure ones.
