Policing in America: CNN State Magazine
From the CNN State magazine article: "Every day in America, a police officer draws a gun and takes aim. What comes next is a decision of extraordinary power and responsibility. The wrong choice could end a life. Even the right decision could cause the officer a lifetime of doubt and regret. The implications are moral, political, and often racial. In the August issue of STATE, we explore the most consequential decision an officer has to make: whether or not to pull the trigger. CNN Senior Writer Thomas Lake, the author of “Unprecedented: The Election That Changed Everything,” makes his debut in the magazine this month. In a three-part series, he interviewed dozens of officers and law enforcement experts to better understand what goes through a cop’s mind when they’re weighing whether to shoot."
