An Inconvenient Cop: My Fight to Change Policing in America by Edwin Raymond
challenging
emotional
informative
reflective
fast-paced
5.0
A very compelling mix of memoir and commentary on the conditions that have created a systemically racist police force. Raymond's upbringing, worldview and actions put him in a unique position to see the system of the NYPD in an usual way. I am still digesting my understanding of the conclusions he draws based on his experiences, but I appreciate the nuanced way he puts forth the things he knows to be true and his unflinching dedication to what he believes.
His narrattion added depth and I would highly recommend this one as an audiobook
