She saw too much sexual violence and buried too many friends to consider getting rid of police in her hometown of St. Millions of people continue to protest police violence because these solutions do not match the problem: the police cannot be reformed.In her critically acclaimed first book Becoming Abolitionists, Purnell draws from her experiences as a lawyer, writer, and organizer initially skeptical about police abolition.
