Every bit as horrifying, heartbreaking, & infuriating as you think it will be. An excellent book to read if you're trying to learn more about these entrenched problems & ways to begin addressing them.

Emotionally grueling but a worthwhile read. Does contain graphic content about sexual assault and violence so please be cautious if this type of stuff is difficult for you to read. Great discussion book and very relevant to today.

jmecerretti's review against another edition
5.0
An emotionally and intellectually challenging read that centers the stories of Black women and women of color directly impacted by police violence. Ritchie digs down into the roots of this violence and the ways in which policing perpetuates and reinforces white supremacy and patriarchy. She includes experiences of police brutality and also widens the frame to include racial profiling, sexual assault, harassment, and immigration enforcement. The book ends with a quote by Angela Y. Davis about the vision of a society where "safety and security will not be premised on violence or the threat of violence; it will be based on a collective commitment to guaranteeing the survival and care of all peoples." I found this to be an eye opening and essential read that I hope gets wide exposure, especially in white feminist circles.
