    Vol. 46, No. 2: Civil Rights Reimagining Policing

      January 2021

    Civil Rights & Constitution

    Reimagining Policing

    by Juan R. Thomas

    This issue of Human Rights magazine focuses on policing in America. The horrific events of 2020 have brought heightened attention to a longstanding problem of policing in America. I’m sharing my story about my first encounter with the police more than 30 years later, but Trayvon Martin, Laquan McDonald, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Stephon Clark, Philando Castile, Michael Brown Jr., Alton Sterling, Rayshard Brooks, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd cannot share their stories. This, now, becomes our task.
