No More Police Killings – Reimagining Policing Now

Too many people have lost their lives at the hands of police. But perhaps the saddest thing is that many of these deaths were unnecessary and could have been avoided. On this episode of Thinking Freely, we will be joined by Tracy Shand, sister to Leonard Shand, and Shamāiah Manriquez, sister to Emanuel Oates, to share their experiences about how the killing of their brothers by police could have been and should have been, prevented. We will also talk to Jay Jimenez, our legal program associate, about some of the trends we are seeing in police killing and important recommendations for the police that would reduce these tragic deaths.
