The title of this episode is the major question at the heart of a new book, “The Riders Come Out at Night: Brutality, Corruption, and Cover-Up in Oakland.” The book focuses on the Oakland Police Department, in Oakland, California. But the story it tells – of corruption, brutality, and stymied efforts at reform – is one that can be told about many police departments across New York, including the NYPD.We get into this rich and deeply frustrating history with the authors of the book, Ali Winston and Darwin BondGraham. We also hear more about police reform generally, and within the NYPD specifically from NYCLU Legal Director Christopher Dunn.Resources:Check out more about the book here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Riders-Come-Out-at-Night/Ali-Winston/9781982168599For more on everything we discuss in this episode, visit https://www.nyclu.org/ For transcripts and additional information on the episodes, visit nyclu.org/en/rightsthisway.Follow NYCLU on Twitter and Instagram.
