How 'broken Windows' Policing Harms People of color

Last summer, a New York city police officer choked a black grandfather named Eric Garner to death. Garner was suspected of selling loose cigarettes.

Broken Windows claims to prevent large crimes by cracking down on small ones. But it's really about controlling and punishing communities of color, through police encounters that can sometimes be deadly.
