BREAK THE WHEEL Ending the Cycle of Police Violence

Narrating with authority, author Keith Ellison brings his research and life experience to the listener. The Minnesota Attorney General examines the history of police violence and the roles various participants in the U.S. justice system have played in perpetuating or trying to end this historic cycle. Ellison's voice is deep, animated, and appropriately compassionate in detailing the life, murder, and subsequent trial surrounding the death of George Floyd. Each chapter reveals another spoke in the wheel of the system as he details the trial of Derek Chauvin. Ellison's delivery is natural and meaningful as he covers the roles of prosecutors, heads of police unions, defendants, activists, judges, legislators, politicians, and media figures.
