Více o knize

The book delves into the critical issue of civilian oversight of police in democratic societies, highlighting the potential for abuse of power when accountability is lacking. It recounts the tragic case of Hudson Brooks, who was shot nine times by an RCMP officer in 2015 while unarmed. The narrative follows the legal proceedings against Constable Cucheran, including the defense's claim of "excited delirium" to justify the use of force. The author also critiques the lack of medical evidence supporting such claims, raising important questions about police conduct and accountability.
