"Since August 2014, the world has been focused on police violence and its relationship to different demographics within black communities — women, queer people, immigrants, disabled people, and more. While some demographics have received more attention and analysis than others — namely, black men — the fact remains that since Michael Brown was killed by Ferguson, Mo., police officer Darren Wilson, there has been more attention paid to the role that police and, more broadly, policing have played in our communities — particularly low-income communities of color."
