Summary
A powerful book which stands against injustice against black people, this light read evokes emotions that I never thought I had. The injustice written evokes so much anger and frustration towards the police system as well as the community mindset. The story evolves around the main character who was at the scene when a police shot a teenage boy to death for just using his comb. The police shot him because he thought he was a threat but clearly he was shot simply based on the prejudice that he was black and dangerous. The rest of the book entails the story of her being interrogated but people trying to put words in her mouth and admit that her friend was a dangerous threat. This book is a great depiction of the injustice world and a great book to get yourself immersed into.
