Context: The protagonist's best friend finds a noose in her school locker. It's implied a white student put it there after their class learned about historical lynchings (possibly because of their discussions, maybe due to her parent's involvement in Black community support groups). Later, she has a panic attack when a noose appears on the TV during a sleepover. The protagonist's teenage step-brother is pulled over by the police and tackled to the ground by three officers. They suspect him of robbing a bank and question him. They force the protagonist, an 11-year-old Black girl, out of his car. A female officer shoots her when she reaches into her pocket to call their parents.
