Trained to Kill: How Police Training Denied the Complex Innocence of Antonio Zambrano Montes

Dr. Lisa Marie Cacho examines the police shooting of Antonio Zambrano-Montes, an undocumented Latino immigrant who was throwing rocks when he was shot. Instead of trying to figure out why a specific shooting happened or making a case for why a specific victim was more innocent than not, she starts with the premise that no shootings should be automatically justified and that all people—even if in the act of committing a crime—are complexly innocent.
