Summary Of A Book Between The World And Me

This semester I read a book named Between the World and Me. The author wrote lots of events and details about a large number of African Americans were hurt or killed by police officers. It reminds me of once demonstration in November 2014. The cause of this demonstration was two young black men named Eric Garner and Michael Brown without arms were killed by American police officers. People took to the streets to express their sadness and indignation because the police officers took two black people’ lives away without prosecuted.

It is a progress for the judicial investigation. Also, it can protect the fair for police officers and suspects. As the senator named Gerald Malloy from South Carolina mentions, “Body cameras protect police, protect the public and protect the truth” (Williams 16). Besides, not only Gerald agrees with body camera can keep judicial evidence, but also Sommers thinks so.

Furthermore, it not only can help the police officers correct some improper act and control they use force unduly, but also it becomes a new
