This was written in 2017, so maybe that accounts for why, but I don't really agree with a lot of Vitale's framing/perspectives in this. I appreciated that he highlighted how police violence affects neurodivergent people and people experiencing houselessness, but in both chapters on these topics, he mentions how these populations are burdens on society and how that burden needs to be alleviated, just not by police - not very disability justice/housing justice of him, and certainly not how I feel about my mad, crip, and houseless neighbors. I also didn't feel this book was very abolitionist. While Vitale SAYS reform is not the answer, all his visions for the future involve reforming the current system of law enforcement rather than abolishing it and building something radically different in its place. If you're interested in specific statistics and numbers on police violence and why all cops are bastards, this book is full of those. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it.
